Informed consent in medical treatment: conflict or consensus

Matta AM

Med Law, 2006 Jun;25(2):319-39.

PMID: 16929809

The author reviews the legal theory and practice of the requirements for informed consent. He uses a discussion of relevant cases and judgements from courts in the UK, USA, Australia and Malaysia to illustrate apparently conflicting attitudes exemplified by these cases. From this he aims to form some consensus in their application to everyday practice.

Causes for infertility: a comparative study

Arumugam K, Urquhart R

Ann Acad Med Singap, 1991 May;20(3):351-2.

PMID: 1929177

A representative group of 204 infertile couples from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were compared to a similar group of 633 couples from Aberdeen, UK in an attempt to study if there was any regional difference in the pattern of infertility seen. The protocol for investigation and diagnostic criteria for both centres were standardised. A significant difference (X2 = 63.43; p less than 0.001) was seen. The reasons for these differences are discussed.

Fulltext Effectiveness of training stop-smoking advisers to deliver cessation support to the UK national proposed standard versus usual care in Malaysia: a two-arm cluster-randomized controlled trial

Wee LH, West R, Tee GH, Yeap L, Chan CMH, Ho BK, et al.

Addiction, 2021 08;116(8):2150-2161.

PMID: 33220115 DOI: 10.1111/add.15346

AIMS: To assess the effectiveness of training stop smoking services providers in Malaysia to deliver support for smoking cessation based on the UK National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training (NCSCT) standard treatment programme compared with usual care.

DESIGN: Two-arm cluster-randomized controlled effectiveness trial across 19 sites with follow-up at 4-week, 3-month, and 6-month.

SETTING: Stop smoking services operating in public hospitals in Malaysia.

PARTICIPANTS: Five hundred and two smokers [mean ± standard deviation (SD), age 45.6 (13.4) years; 97.4% male] attending stop smoking services in hospital settings in Malaysia: 330 in 10 hospitals in the intervention condition and 172 in nine hospitals in the control condition.

INTERVENTION AND COMPARATOR: The intervention consisted of training stop-smoking practitioners to deliver support and follow-up according to the NCSCT Standard Treatment Programme. The comparator was usual care (brief support and follow-up).

MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome was continuous tobacco smoking abstinence up to 6 months in smokers who received smoking cessation treatment, verified by expired-air carbon monoxide (CO) concentration. Secondary outcomes were continuous CO-verified tobacco smoking abstinence up to 4 weeks and 3 months.

RESULTS: Follow-up rates at 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months were 80.0, 70.6 and 53.3%, respectively, in the intervention group and 48.8, 30.8 and 23.3%, respectively, in the control group. At 6-month follow-up, 93 participants in the intervention group and 19 participants in the control group were abstinent from smoking, representing 28.2 versus 11.0% in an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis assuming that participants with missing data had resumed smoking, and 52.8 versus 47.5% in a follow-up-only (FUO) analysis. Unadjusted odds ratios (accounting for clustering) were 5.04, (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.22-20.77, P = 0.025) and 1.70, (95% CI = 0.25-11.53, P = 0.589) in the ITT and FUO analyses, respectively. Abstinence rates at 4 week and 3 month follow-ups were significantly higher in the intervention versus control group in the ITT but not the FUO analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: On an intention-to-treat analysis with missing-equals-smoking imputation, training Malaysian stop smoking service providers in the UK National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training standard treatment programme appeared to increase 6 month continuous abstinence rates in smokers seeking help with stopping compared with usual care. However, the effect may have been due to increasing follow-up rates.

Fulltext Gram-negative infection as an unusual cause of endocarditis in a hemodialysis patient

Balakrishnan S, Aamar A, Rhee S, Zakaria S, Khaliq W

Med J Malaysia, 2016 Jun;71(3):152-3.

PMID: 27495894

Gram-negative endocarditis is rare and it has high mortality if there is a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Gram-negative organisms should be considered in the differential diagnosis of IE in hemodialysis patients. Central lineassociated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) can be prevented by following sterile measures during catheter insertion and proper management of catheter site.

Fulltext Female Physical Attractiveness and Body Image Disorders in Malaysia

Virens, S.

Malaysian Journal of Psychiatry, 2006;14(1):3-7.

MyJurnal

Preferred body sizes appear to decrease markedly with increasing exposure to contemporäry notions of slimness and economic modernity, and reduce even further in industrial settings as socio-economic status increases. Recently a study examining physical attractiveness preferences in Britain and Malaysia, shows that preference for slim ideals varies according to socio-economic status. Malaysians in
Britain and Kuala Lumpur preferred slimmer female bodies than observers in semiurban Kota Kinabalu, who in turn preferred slimmer figures than rural observers in East Malaysia. This study has important implications for the study of body image and eating disorders in Malaysia.

Fulltext A comparison between the UK and a Malaysian setting of antipsychotic prescribing on forensic wards using prescribing observatory for mental health-UK standards

Johnson, D., Badi’ah, Y.

Malaysian Journal of Psychiatry, 2012;21(2):0-0.

MyJurnal

Introduction Clinical guidelines recommend the use of a single antipsychotic drug at standard doses. In clinical practise high-dose and combined antipsychotics are common. Methods A clinical audit of antipsychotic prescribing for patients in a forensic ward in a Malaysian hospital was undertaken using Prescribing Observatory for Mental Health-UK (POMH) standards and compared to POMH data. Results The level of high dose prescribing between Malaysian and the UK was comparable. There were low levels of the use of ‘as required’ (PRN) medication in Malaysia compared to the UK. The use of combined prescribing was more common in Malaysia. Discussion Levels of high dose antipsychotic prescribing are unsatisfactory across both jurisdictions. Specific quality improvements in Malaysia need to centre on the use of combination antipsychotics.

Fulltext Oral Tissue Diagnostic Services: A Review of The Literature

Ann Dent, 1999;6(1):-.

MyJurnal

Diagnosis by histopathology remams as one of the most important investigative methods used to establish a definitive diagnosis of a lesion or disease state. The provision of oral tissue diagnostic services is therefore an essential function of an Oral Pathology unit. A review of the English language literature disclosed that much of the documented information on the patterns of oral diagnostic services were from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. This paper provides an overview of such surveys carried out in these countries.

MyJurnal

The preliminary investigation was carried out to assess the severity of malocclusion between two centres, the dental schools in Leeds, United Kingdom and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A total of 99 study models were analysed using the Index ofOrthodontic Treatment Need (lOIN). Thestudy models were ofpatients aged 8to 15years, equally distributed between male and female patients taken from the undergraduate and staff clinics. Forty nine and fifty study models were analysed at the Leeds Dental School and FacultyofDentistry,University ofMalaya,respectively.Fromthisobservation, it appeared that the sample of patients treated at the Faculty of Dentistry, Kuala Lumpur presented approximately 25%higher with casesin the severe end of the malocclusion based on the dental health component and almost 70%more with the aesthetic component. Factors contributing to this finding are discussed.
