Article Abstract
Aim: This study aims to assess the application of opioids for pain control in patients following a cesarean section (CS) at a tertiary referral obstetric hospital.
Methods: A retrospective cohort audit of CSs in September 2022 was conducted. Medical records were reviewed to capture patient demographics, opioid used, and discharge medications.
Results: Medical records of 46 patients were reviewed. Of those, 46 percent (n = 21) had a non-elective lower uterine CS (NELUSCS), 43 percent (n = 20) had an elective lower uterine CS (ELUSCS), and the remainder had a nonelective classical CS (NEClassicalCS). NEClassicalCS had higher total morphine equivalent opioid use with an average of 245.7 mg, compared with 92.4 mg and 60.1 mg for NELUSCS and ELUSCS, respectively. Tramadol was the most common opioid supplied on discharge (85 percent), followed by buprenorphine (17 percent) and oxycodone/naloxone (15 percent). An average discharge medication supply of 3 days was provided.
Conclusions: NEClassicalCS procedures had higher use of opioid pain medications. All patients were initiated on opioids post-CS, with 93 percent (n = 43) discharged with at least one opioid.

Chronic inflammation and microbial dysbiosis have been implicated in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), particularly oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the progressive destruction of tooth-supporting structures. While periodontitis Has been associated with an increased risk of OSCC in epidemiological and mechanistic studies, the strength of this association is unclear.

Purpose: Living donor kidney transplantation is a critical strategy to address the growing burden of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in Malaysia. Whilst living donation is generally safe, concerns remain regarding long-term donor outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate renal function and morbidity changes in living kidney donors 1 year post-donation, and to identify predictors of impaired kidney function.

Introduction: Medication history taking at hospital admission is still prone to errors. Despite numerous quality improvement initiatives, new strategies to improve medication history taking are still sought and evaluated. Unfortunately, the gold standard research methodology for evaluation is resource-intensive, as it requires each patient to complete two medication history interviews.
