Published: April 2021

Revitalizing Malaysia’s agriculture, to cater to food security issues, has become a priority, given the current economic conditions faced by the government, due to the worldwide COVID19 pandemic. There are, however, a set of complex issues, which involve human capital development, trade agreements, domestic structural problems, and the appropriateness of techniques that must be tackled. Graduate agropreneurs, though, seem to be the future of the nation; while they, continue to struggle with profitability in these difficult economic times. The agricultural industry, however, supports the view that through business model innovation, farms can increase their competitive advantage. This paper identifies and describes some of the elements needed for these graduate agropreneurs when they consider business model innovation. A qualitative approach was used in this study to interview successful graduate agropreneurs involved in Melon Manis Terengganu (MMT) fertigation farming. The paper concludes that the relevance of a business model, in agriculture, relies on the fact that global competition and technological advances urge agropreneurs to look for new business structures and new ways to interact within the business environment. On the other hand, the agropreneur projects should take into consideration the viability of the agriculture projects to encourage a new generation of farmers; the young, energetic, and knowledgeable agropreneurs, to venture into high technology farming which also has substantial income potential. All factors, however, merit attention when graduate agropreneurs develop new business models for their farms.

Published: April 2021

Objective: The mechanisms underlying worse clinical outcomes in previously unrecognized diabetic (DM) patients in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are unclear. It was hypothesized that poor chronic glucose control might be related to greater myocardial damage.
Material and Method: 51 newly diagnosed DM patients with glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 6.5 comprised the DM group, 54 sex- and age-matched individuals with normal glucose metabolism served as the non-DM group. Each patient underwent primary angioplasty for STEMI. The levels of cardiac specific markers before angioplasty, during angioplasty, at 6, 12, and 18 h after angioplasty were recorded. SPSS 10 package program was used to analyse data.
Results: In both DM and non-DM groups troponin peaked at 6 h. Peak troponin levels were similar in both groups (diabetics, 22.89 ± 18.19 vs. non-diabetics, 32.67 ± 17.68 ng/ml, p=0.168).
Conclusions: HbA1c > 6.5 is not related to extent of infarction in previously unrecognized DM patients presenting with STEMI. Future studies assessing the effects of other factors unrelated to chronic glucose control on myocardial damage and cardiovascular event rates in these patients would be of great interest.
Perioperative exercise intervention in patients with lung cancer

Published: April 2021

Objectives:
During perioperative, lung cancer (LC) patients are often left to experience debilitating disease-related symptoms, impaired physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and social difficulties, despite the progress achieved in terms of treatment efficacy. Nonpharmacological intervention, such as exercise, has been identified as an effective strategy in LC patients before and after lung resection. Therefore, we aimed to assess evidence of the effect of perioperative exercise among patients with LC.

Materials and Methods:
Seven databases were searched from January 1998 to September 2020. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effect of exercise on the physical and psychological status of patients with LC during the perioperative period were reviewed. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of all studies included here using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for RCTs.

Results:
Seventeen RCTs (1199 participants) published between 2011 and 2019 met for this literature review. The outcome measures that emerged from these studies included subjective outcomes, such as HRQoL, pain score, fatigue, and objective effects, such as cardiorespiratory fitness, pulmonary function, physical activity, and biological markers. Overall, these studies suggest that exercise should be an optimal option for LC; however, its efficacy and effectiveness regarding HRQoL should be investigated further.

Conclusion:
Perioperative exercise could be included in the rehabilitation program of patients with LC. More extensive, high-quality RCTs evidence is needed on the ideal exercise type, duration, intensity, and timing across the LC perioperative care.
The correlation of tumor markers, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and FDG PET/CT measures in pancreatic cancer
Authors: HAFIZOĞLU Merve , KOROGLU Reyhan , DEMİR Hacer , BOZKURT Erhan , HAFIZOĞLU Emre 
Published: April 2021

Objective:This review will outline the correlation of tumor markers and NLR (Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) with measures such as MTV (mean total volume), TLG (total lesion glycolysis), and SUV (standart uptake value) in 18F FDG PET/CT in pancreatic carcinoma with the goal of selection of appropriate treatment modality and decrease rates of treatment failure and recurrences in pancreatic carcinoma by using tumor markers. In this way, we can predict the results of imaging modalities, using easy lab technics such as NLR and tm markers.
Methods:45 patients that new diagnosed pancreatic cancer were included in the study. Diagnosis were confirmed by cytology. Their tumor marker levels (CA 19.9, CEA and AFP), NLR and PET/CT measurements (SUVmax, SUVmean, TLG, MTV) were obtained. Patients that already diagnosed, followed up or treated by oncology department, were excluded.
Results:When tumor markers were compared with PET/CT measurements (SUVmax, SUVmean, TLG, MTV and tumor size) there were no significant difference between them. Also, total uptake values of organs (liver, spleen, pancreas) were not related with tm marker levels. However, there were positive significant correlation between tumor size and SUVmax, SUVmean, TLG (p=0.02 r = 0.347, p=0.022 r = 0.340, p=0.008 r =0.392).
Conclusions:Tumor markers may help diagnosing or managing of pancreatic malignities, but we cannot predict PET/CT results according to tumor marker levels. So, tumor markers must be used as an adjunctive method for diagnosing malignities. They cannot be major determiner for malignities. Diagnosing and following up malignities should be supported by other laboratory technics and imaging methods.

Published: April 2021

Introduction
The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of thyroid dysfunction on tendons and the contribution of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) elastography to the diagnosis of tendinopathy.
Methods
Eighty Achilles tendons of 40 patients under levothyroxine treatment, who had previously known hypothyroidism but high serum thyroid stimulating hormone levels, and 80 Achilles tendons of 40 healthy individuals were evaluated with ARFI (Virtual Touch Quantification®). 19 of 40 of the patients with hypotiroidism’ Achilles tendons were re-evaluated after thyroid stimulating hormone levels reached to normal limits following the adjustments in thyroid hormone replacement therapy. The middle portion of the each Achilles tendon was chosen for the examination. Every examination consisted of three to five independent measurements (shear wave velocity- meters per second). The mean shear wave velocity value was calculated for each tendon, and used for statistical analysis.
Results
The stiffness values of both left and right Achilles tendons, represented as shear wave velocity, were similar in patients with hypothyroidism and control group. There was no significant difference between the Achilles tendon shear wave velocity measurements of 19 of 40 hypothyroidism patients who were re-evaluated after the adjustments in thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
Conclusions
The lack of significant difference in Achilles tendon stiffness between non-naive hypothyroid patients and the control group may be explained as a positive clinical effect of thyroid hormone replacement therapy.

Published: April 2021

Background: Anemia is one of the most prevalent complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In CKD-related anemia, circulating erythrocytes have a decreased life span. Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity is one of the essential factors protecting cell membranes, e.g., erythrocytes, from lipid peroxidation under normal conditions. In this study, we investigated PON1 activity in hemodialysis (HD) patients with and without erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) therapy and the possible relationship of PON1 activity levels with the ESA dose required.
Methods: This study is composed of patients undergoing HD with a minimum dialysis vintage of six months. We excluded cases with an active infection, cardiovascular events and malignancy, hypo- or hyperthyroidism, central venous catheters, iron deficiency, cystic kidney diseases, nephrectomy, and routine C-reactive protein (CRP) levels higher than reference range within the last six months.
Results: Baseline characteristics, laboratory parameters, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammatory indices were similar between groups. The mean PON1 activity of the ESA+ group was significantly lower than the ESA– group (191.4 ±118.8 and 488.1±174.9,respectively; p
