Cable television system in Malaysia
The convenience of 24-hour cable TV
news, offering the latest br
eaking headlines at anytime of
the day or night, represents an enormous struct
ural for cable over network television. Cable has
become the television news medium of choice in
Malaysia. The network most cited as the No.1
for news remains CNN, preferred over the broad
cast networks and even its cable rivals. Cable
television system means any facility consisti
ng of a set of closed
transmission paths and
associated signal generation, reception, and contro
l equipment that is designed to provide cable
service which includes video programming and which
is provided to multiple subscribers within
a community [2]. Some cable systems even can
let us make telephone calls and receive new
programming technologies while a growing number
of people with high sp
eed Internet access.
Cable television system consider as one of the
cable service. The abbr
eviation CATV is often
used to mean "Cable TV" [2]. It originally
stood for Community Antenna
Television, from cable
television's origins in 1948: in areas where over-the-air reception was limited by mountainous
terrain, large "community antennas"
were constructed, and cable was
run from them to individual
homes [2]. It is most commonplace in North Ameri
ca, Europe, Australia and East Asia, though it
is present in many other countries, mainly in S
outh America and the Middle East [2]. Cable TV
has had little success in Africa, as it is not
although so-called "wireless cable" or microwave-
based systems are used, "direct-to-home" satellit
e television is far more popular, especially in
South Africa
Far-Infrared Therapy Promotes Nerve Repair following End-to-End Neurorrhaphy in Rat Models of Sciatic Nerve Injury
This study employed a rat model of sciatic nerve injury to investigate the effects of postoperative low-power far-infrared (FIR) radiation therapy on nerve repair following end-to-end neurorrhaphy. The rat models were divided into the following 3 groups: (1) nerve injury without FIR biostimulation (NI/sham group); (2) nerve injury with FIR biostimulation (NI/FIR group); and (3) noninjured controls (normal group). Walking-track analysis results showed that the NI/FIR group exhibited significantly higher sciatic functional indices at 8 weeks after surgery (P<0.05) compared with the NI/sham group. The decreased expression of CD4 and CD8 in the NI/FIR group indicated that FIR irradiation modulated the inflammatory process during recovery. Compared with the NI/sham group, the NI/FIR group exhibited a significant reduction in muscle atrophy (P<0.05). Furthermore, histomorphometric assessment indicated that the nerves regenerated more rapidly in the NI/FIR group than in the NI/sham group; furthermore, the NI/FIR group regenerated neural tissue over a larger area, as well as nerve fibers of greater diameter and with thicker myelin sheaths. Functional recovery, inflammatory response, muscular reinnervation, and histomorphometric assessment all indicated that FIR radiation therapy can accelerate nerve repair following end-to-end neurorrhaphy of the sciatic nerve
