    Abstract Purpose — This research aims to investigate the influence of agile leadership in Islamic schools on work commitment, using organizational culture as a mediator. Method — This research employed quantitative causality methods. The study's population comprised all 31 teachers from Azhari Islamic School Rasuna, all of whom were included as samples. The data analysis utilized Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Result — The research findings demonstrate a positive influence of agile leadership on organizational culture. However, agile leadership does not significantly affect teacher work commitment, and organizational culture does not mediate the influence of agile leadership on teacher work commitment. Contribution — This research contributes to the existing literature by addressing a gap in previous research, which had not examined the influence of agile leadership on work commitment.

    Abstract Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common indications for antibiotic use; patients with psychiatric disorders have a greater risk for UTI compared with patients without these disorders. However, there is little guidance on how best to manage antibiotic therapy in psychiatric hospitals. This study assessed the impact of a Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacist (BCPP)-driven guideline on managing UTI treatment in an acute psychiatric hospital.
    Methods: The guideline was developed by the psychiatric pharmacy team and distributed to internists, psychiatrists, and pharmacists. Preintervention data were assessed for patients admitted between November 30, 2019, and February 23, 2020; postintervention data were assessed from February 25, 2020, to April 24, 2020. All patients ages 13 years and older who were admitted and had orders for an antibiotic to treat a UTI were included in this study. Appropriate UTI management was defined as an appropriate agent, dose, route, and frequency per the treatment guideline. Additionally, the following criteria were to be ordered and assessed to be deemed appropriate: urinalysis, urine culture, complete blood count, basic or complete metabolic panel, temperature, and subjective symptoms.
    Results: Before intervention, 19.0% of antibiotic orders were appropriate; after intervention, 46.7% of antibiotic orders were appropriate (
    Conclusion: The implementation of a BCPP-driven treatment algorithm was associated with a significant increase in appropriate antibiotic regimens for the treatment of UTIs in patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

    Abstract This research serves as the basis for developing essential oil-based repellent activity tests against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The method used for the isolation of essential oils was the steam distillation method. Virus-free Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were used as test animals by applying the 10% essential oil repellent on the arms of volunteers. The analysis of the essential oils activities and aromas’ components was carried out using headspace repellent and GC-MS methods. Based on the results, the yields of essential oil from 5000 g samples for cinnamon bark, clove flowers, patchouli, nutmeg seed, lemongrass, citronella grass, and turmeric rhizome were 1.9%, 16%, 2.2%, 16.8%, 0.9%, 1.4%, and 6.8%, respectively. The activity test showed that the average repellent power of 10% essential oils, patchouli, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, clove flowers, citronella grass, and lemongrass, was 95.2%, 83.8%, 71.4%, 94.7%, 71.4%, 80.4%, and 85%, respectively. Patchouli and cinnamon had the best average repellent power. Meanwhile, the aroma activities showed that the average repellent power of the patchouli oil was 96%, and the cinnamon oil was 94%. From the GC-MS analysis, nine components were identified in the patchouli essential oil aromas’ with the highest concentration being patchouli alcohol (42.7%), Azulene, 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-1,4-dimethyl-7-(1-methylethenyl)-, [1S-(1α,7α,8aβ)] (10.8%), α-guaiene (9.22%), and seychellene (8.19%)., whereas using the GC-MS headspace repellent method showed that there were seven components identified in the patchouli essential oil aroma with a high concentration of the components, which were patchouli alcohol (52.5%), Seychellene (5.2%), and α-guaiene (5.2%). The analysis results of cinnamon essential oil using the GC-MS method showed that there were five components identified in the aroma, with E-cinnamaldehyde (73%) being the highest component, whereas using the GC-MS headspace repellent method showed that there were five components identified in the aroma, with highest ...

    Abstract Pure red cell aplasia caused by true thymic hyperplasia is extremely rare. We report the case of a 25-year-old female diagnosed with pure red cell aplasia. Following a thymectomy confirming true thymic hyperplasia and corticosteroid therapy, complete response was achieved. Patients diagnosed with pure red cell aplasia should be investigated with a computerized tomographic scan to assess for thymic pathology and if present, this should be resected. Follow-up is essential to monitor for recurrence.

    Abstract Introduction/objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is known to be associated with an increased risk of comorbidities, premature mortality, and disability. We investigated the prevalence of comorbidities in RA compared with non-RA controls and the effect of comorbidities on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and total healthcare expenditures.
    Methods: Adult RA patients and age-, sex-matched individuals without RA (non-RA controls) were identified from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey 2010-2015 data. Twenty comorbidities were investigated including cardiovascular, psychological, respiratory, and musculoskeletal conditions. The Short Form-12 physical and mental component summary scores for HRQoL and total healthcare expenditures (2015 US dollars) were summarized based on the number of comorbidities as well as the type of comorbidities. Outcomes were further investigated using multivariable regression analyses.
    Results: A total of 2925 patients with RA and 14,625 non-RA controls were included. Approximately 60.4% of RA and 37.2% of non-RA controls had ≥ 3 comorbidities, and 23.5% of RA and 12.0% of non-RA controls had ≥ 5 comorbidities. The prevalence of comorbidities in RA was higher across different types of comorbidities compared with non-RA controls. The most prevalent comorbidities in RA were cardiovascular diseases (79.0%) followed by respiratory conditions (34.4%). Having ≥ 5 comorbidities in RA was significantly associated with lower SF-12 physical and mental scores and increase in healthcare expenditures compared with RA without any comorbidity ($23,214 ($19,941-$26,119) for ≥ 5 comorbidities vs. $11,137 ($7610-$14,396) for no comorbidity).
    Conclusion: A substantial number of patients with RA had multiple comorbidities. The comorbidities in RA were associated with poor HRQoL and higher healthcare expenditures. Key Points • The prevalence of comorbidities was significantly higher in RA compared to age- and sex-matched non-RA controls. • RA itself was associated with lower mental and physical health-related quality of life and increase in healthcare expenditures. • A higher number of comorbidities in RA were associated with poorer mental and physical health-related quality of life and increase in healthcare expenditures. • Specific comorbidities such as respiratory conditions and psychological disorders were associated with both health-related quality of life and economic burden in RA.

    Abstract COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest communicable disease outbreak to have hit Malaysia since the 1918 Spanish Flu which killed 34,644 people or 1% of the population of the then British Malaya. In 1999, the Nipah virus outbreak killed 105 Malaysians, while the SARS outbreak of 2003 claimed only 2 lives. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has so far claimed over 100 Malaysian lives. There were two waves of the COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. First wave of 22 cases occurred from January 25 to February 15 with no death and full recovery of all cases. The ongoing second wave, which commenced on February 27, presented cases in several clusters, the biggest of which was the Sri Petaling Tabligh cluster with an infection rate of 6.5%, and making up 47% of all cases in Malaysia. Subsequently, other clusters appeared from local mass gatherings and imported cases of Malaysians returning from overseas. Healthcare workers carry high risks of infection due to the daily exposure and management of COVID-19 in the hospitals. However, 70% of them were infected through community transmission and not while handling patients. In vulnerable groups, the incidence of COVID-19 cases was highest among the age group 55 to 64 years. In terms of fatalities, 63% were reported to be aged above 60 years, and 81% had chronic comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart diseases. The predominant COVID-19 strain in Malaysia is strain B, which is found exclusively in East Asia. However, strain A, which is mostly found in the USA and Australia, and strain C in Europe were also present. To contain the epidemic, Malaysia implemented a Movement Control Order (MCO) beginning on March 18 in 4 phases over 2 months, ending on May 12. In terms of economic impacts, Malaysia lost RM2.4 billion a day during the MCO period, with an accumulated loss of RM63 billion up to the end of April. Since May 4, Malaysia has relaxed the MCO and opened up its economic sector to relieve its economic burden. Currently, the best approach to achieving herd immunity to COVID-19 is through vaccination rather than by acquiring it naturally. There are at least two candidate vaccines which have reached the final stage of human clinical trials. Malaysia's COVID-19 case fatality rate is lower than what it is globally; this is due to the successful implementation of early preparedness and planning, the public health and hospital system, comprehensive contact tracing, active case detection, and a strict enhanced MCO.

    Abstract The concomitant occurrence of tuberculous adenitis and Hodgkin lymphoma is rare, posing a diagnostic dilemma since both have similar symptoms, such as lymphadenopathy, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. We reported such a case in a 15-year-old girl who presented with fever and neck swelling and was found to have lymphadenopathy. A biopsy of the right supraclavicular lymph node showed Reed-Sternberg cells and stained positive for acid-fast bacilli and tuberculosis culture. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculous adenitis with concurrent Hodgkin lymphoma in the same lymph node. She was started on anti-tubercular medications and chemotherapy and showed clinical improvement. This case highlights the need for suspicion in order to identify these two disorders in the same patient, since missing one of them is possible and may lead to fatal complications.

    Abstract Various multiple-attribute decision analysis approaches have been developed to choose the best fashion design among alternatives, but none of them consider interdependence among their criteria. This study combined the diamond pairwise comparison method to elicit the weights and interaction degrees of a set of criteria and the Choquet integral method for aggregating the evaluation to identify the best design based on the decision-makers’ preferences and prospects. The criteria were determined from input by 10 experts in diverse areas related to fashion design. By implementing the hybrid method in a case example, the efficacy of the proposed approach for evaluating fashion designs is demonstrated.
