    Prediction model has been the focus of studies since the last century in the diagnosis and prognosis of various diseases. With the advancement in computational technology, machine learning (ML) has become the widely used tool to develop a prediction model. This review is to investigate the current development of prediction model for the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients using machine learning. A systematic search on Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) was conducted to look for relevant articles based on the research question. The risk of bias (ROB) for all articles were assessed based on the Prediction model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) statement. Neural network with 76.6% precision, 88.06% sensitivity, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.91 was found to be the most reliable algorithm in developing prediction model for cardiovascular disease among type 2 diabetes patients. The overall concern of applicability of all included studies is low. While two out of 10 studies were shown to have high ROB, another studies ROB are unknown due to the lack of information. The adherence to reporting standards was conducted based on the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) standard where the overall score is 53.75%. It is highly recommended that future model development should adhere to the PROBAST and TRIPOD assessment to reduce the risk of bias and ensure its applicability in clinical settings. Potential lipid peroxidation marker is also recommended in future cardiovascular disease prediction model to improve overall model applicability.

    Kenaikan segmen ST di elektrod aVR elektrokardiografi di dalam kes diseksi aorta mempunyai risiko kematian yang tinggi. Ia melibatkan diseksi yang berlaku di akar aorta. Kami melaporkan kes pesakit lelaki muda yang menghidap penyakit darah tinggi, yang datang ke Jabatan Kecemasan dengan sakit dada dan sakit di bahagian kaki. Pemeriksaan fizikal pada bahagian bawah kiri anggota adalah konsisten dengan iskemia akut. Elektrokardiogram menunjukkan serangan jantung akut di bahagian elektrod anterolateral, dan kenaikan ST segmen di elektrod aVR. Ekokardiografi menunjukkan akar aorta yang berukuran 4.51 cm dan kehadiran flap intimal, meningkatkan kebarangkalian diseksi pada akar aorta dan arteri koronari. Tomography Computed Angiogram menunjukkan terdapat diseksi aorta dari akar aorta termasuk flap intimal berhampiran permulaan arteri koronari kiri, hingga ke arteri iliac utama ke arteri iliac kiri. Malangnya, pesakit memilih untuk tidak menjalani pembedahan dan akhirnya meninggal dunia selepas 48 jam di masukkan ke wad. Kes ini menjelaskan bahawa, dalam kes diseksi aorta yang hadir dengan sindrom 'malperfusion', kenaikan segmen ST pada elektrod aVR akan meningkatkan kebarangkalian terjadinya diseksi aorta yang teruk melibatkan akar aorta dan juga arteri koronari, yang menjadikan prognosis pesakit lebih teruk.

    Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in childhood. In a majority, the cause of epilepsy remains a mystery in spite of extensive investigations. The aim of drug treatment is to effectively stop the seizures with minimum of side effects, causing no impairment of long term learning abilities of the child. Up to 30% of children with epilepsy may continue to have seizures in spite of adequate drug therapy. In this review, an overview of the recent advances that affect the diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of childhood epilepsy including the dilemmas of everyday practice is presented.

    An analysis is made of parasite counts made on the first day of treatment in a series of 750 cases of acute subtertian malaria. The analysis affords data of the parasitological intensity of the subtertian infections prevalent in the Kuala Lumpur district of the Malay States during 2 years of normal malarial incidence and severity, and suggests:- 1. (a) That parasite counts made on the first day of treatment are of considerable prognostic reliability. 2. (b) That the counts made during the course of treatment are a useful guide to progress but are open to occasional fallacy. 3. (c) That the extreme limit of tolerance of Asiatic adults for the local strains of P. falciparum is probably in the region of three quarters of a million parasites per c.mm. of peripheral blood.

    Presence of air in the kidney can be problematic as the location of the air in different parts of the kidney greatly affects the subsequent management and outcome of the patient. We present here a case of a patient who had emphysematous pyelitis, in which CT scan was able to display presence of air only in the collecting system, thus differentiating this condition from the more fulminant emphysematous pyelonephritis. This leads to a more favourable prognosis and outcome to the patient.

    Myelodysplastic syndromes appear to be a rare group of blood disorders in Malaysia. It usually affects the elderly and some of the cases were reported to evolve into acute leukemia. We describe our experience with five cases, seen and managed by us over a 5-year period. All patients receiving supportive therapy died with one of them definitely known to transform to acute leukemia. The patient who survives till the time of writing received low dose continuous cytosine arabinoside infusion.

    Informed consent has been recognised as an essential part of clinical practice, giving ethical and legal legitimacy to medical intervention. There is no universal standard on the amount and type of information that a patient is entitled to and needs to be adequately disclosed. This article proposes nine information that will assist the doctor in providing adequate information for a patient to evaluate whether to authorise medical intervention. The recommended infor- mation are: (i) diagnosis, prognosis and its uncertainties; (ii) nature of proposed medical intervention; (iii) the expect- ed benefit of proposed medical intervention; (iv) the potential risk of proposed medical intervention; (v) alternative to proposed medical intervention; (vi) progress of proposed medical intervention; (vii) opportunity for a second medical opinion and to seek further details; (viii) costs of proposed and alternative medical intervention; and (ix) the person responsible for implementing medical intervention.

    One of the problems of modern cardiology in Ukraine and the world is acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which results in high mortality and invalidation of patients. Recently, much attention is drawn to the growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15). A lot of studies provided, in which the role of GDF-15 in cardiovascular pathology proved.

    AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the predictive possibility of the GDF-15 marker in the stratification of the ACS complications risk within 5 years after the event.

    MATERIALS AND METHODS: 70 patients with ACS were involved. The mean age was (61.8 +/- 1.3) years, the following diagnosis was established in the patients: 76 patients had acute myocardial infarction with Q (AMI with Q), 28 - acute myocardial infarction without Q (AMI without Q) and 36 patients were diagnosed unstable angina (UA). During the follow-up period the endpoint was reached by 28 patients.

    RESULTS: A statistical relationship between the elevated level of GDF - 15 and the 5-year survival of these patients (χ2 = 4.75, p = 0.03) has been found. It was established that the level of the GDF-15 biomarker > 2350 pg/ml independently predicted the onset of adverse events with the sensitivity of 80% and the specificity of 60% (p = 0.006). To investigate the influence of the GDF-15 levels on mortality in the remote period, the Cox regression analysis was performed. It was revealed that the level of GDF-15 significantly predicted the onset of the primary endpoint within 5 years after ACS (p = 0.004).

    CONCLUSIONS: The increased level of GDF-15, determined in the first 24 hours after development of ACS, is highly associated with the adverse outcome within 5 years after the event.

    BACKGROUND: Oral potentially malignant disorders are a clinical conundrum as there are no reliable methods to predict their behaviour. We combine conventional oral epithelial dysplasia grading with DNA ploidy analysis to examine the validity of this approach to risk assessment in a cohort of patients with known clinical outcomes.

    METHODS: Sections from diagnostic biopsies were assessed for oral epithelial dysplasia using the WHO grading system, and DNA ploidy analysis was performed using established methods. Patients reviewed for a minimum of 5 years who did not develop oral squamous cell carcinoma were classified as "non-transforming" cases. Patients that developed oral squamous cell carcinoma ≥ 6 months after the initial diagnostic biopsy were classified as having "malignant transformation."

    RESULTS: Ninety cases were included in the study. Seventy cases yielded informative DNA ploidy results. Of these 70 cases, 31 progressed to cancer. Oral epithelial dysplasia grading and DNA ploidy status were both significantly associated with clinical outcome (P

    BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) causes severe illness and multi-organ dysfunction. An abnormal electrocardiogram is associated with poor outcome, and QT prolongation during the illness has been linked to pharmacological effects. This study sought to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 illness on the corrected QT interval (QTc).

    METHOD: For 293 consecutive patients admitted to our hospital via the emergency department for COVID-19 between 01/03/20 -18/05/20, demographic data, laboratory findings, admission electrocardiograph and clinical observations were compared in those who survived and those who died within 6 weeks. Hospital records were reviewed for prior electrocardiograms for comparison with those recorded on presentation with COVID-19.

    RESULTS: Patients who died were older than survivors (82 vs 69.8 years, p 455 ms (males) and >465 ms (females) (p = 0.028, HR 1.49 [1.04-2.13]), as predictors of mortality. QTc prolongation beyond these dichotomy limits was associated with increased mortality risk (p = 0.0027, HR 1.78 [1.2-2.6]).

    CONCLUSION: QTc prolongation occurs in COVID-19 illness and is associated with poor outcome.
