Cardiac arrest is a treatable medical event that requires immediate action to save a life. Cardiac arrest can strike indiscriminately and without warning, often leaving grieving family members and friends to question what could have been done differently. 

When the heart stops, the brain will begin to die within 4 minutes. An ambulance takes 10-15 minutes to reach the victim. If CPR were instituted early, even before the arrival of the ambulance, it could make a difference to the victim’s survival. As cardiac (heart) arrest could occur at home, in the office, on the streets, bystanders able to perform CPR becomes valuable for the victim.

Institut Jantung Negara (IJN), being the premier cardiac hospital, have taken the first step of public responsibility by offering Basic Life Support (BLS) training. Basic Life Support (BLS) is the foundation for saving lives after cardiac arrest. It is designed for healthcare professionals as well as public to provide emergency care to patients in a wide variety of settings, and teaches both single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for application in pre-hospital and in-facility settings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION :

Chemical emergencies can occur in a number of different situations where hazardous chemicals are released into the surroundings. Hazardous chemicals can either be chemical weapons or toxic industrial chemicals.

These threats can occur as a result of an act of terrorism or an industrial accident. Both situations can be very challenging to manage. Preparedness by training, drills, implementation of policies and standard operating procedures are vital for any country or organization to manage efficiently a chemical emergency. A multiagency approach with good cooperation and teamwork is essential.

Hazardous material (hazmat) management is an important component of any chemical threat management. Hazardous material can be any xenobiotic (solid, liquid or gas) with the potential to harm. The initial approach to the management of such hazards must be handled appropriately to prevent further casualties.

In this workshop, experts in disaster management, fire and rescue services (hazmat), chemical weapons as well as the emergency medical response team will share their experience on chemical emergencies.

Continuing medical education consists of educational activities which serve to maintain, develop or increase  the knowledge, skills and pofessional performance and relationship that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or theprofession. The content of CME is that body of knowledge and skills generally recognized and accepted by the profession as within the basic medical sciences, the discipline of clinical medicine, and the provision of health care to the public

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT : 

Methanol, also known as “wood alcohol”, is a commonly used organic solvent with hundreds of uses – mainly as an industrial, chemical feedstock for propylene, resins, glues and polymers, but also as a clean-burning fuel for land and sea transportation, industrial boilers, cookstoves, ceramic kilns and tea/tobacco dryers.  Methanol is a clear, odorless liquid at room temperature and is miscible in water. 

However, if ingested, the human body begins to break down methanol, resulting in formaldehyde, formic acid, and formate, which is toxic, causing metabolic acidosis, neurological disorders, and even death, if not treated in time. 

It is a commonly found ingredient of poorly adulterated, “bootleg” alcoholic beverages in many countries. Methanol toxicity or “poisoning”, remains a common problem in many parts of the developing world, especially among members of lower socioeconomic classes.

In this workshop, experts in the treatment of methanol poisoning, as a result of ingesting “bootleg” alcohol, will share their experience and advice for diagnosing and treatment of methanol poisoning.

This Multidisciplinary Tumor Board is an internal PCMC clinical committee meeting.

MDT is a multidisciplinary approach to the care of cancer patients is commonly incorporated and is often achieved through multidisciplinary tumor board (MTB) meeting. MTBs are formal, regularly-scheduled meetings in which networks of specialists devoted to the care of cancer patients meet to review individual cancer patients in a prospective manner to discuss the diagnosis and formulate management plans using an evidence-based approach. These meetings typically involve core groups of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists, as well as other ancillary members of the healthcare team and other allied healthcare professionals. The patients discussed at these meetings may be patients newly-diagnosed with cancer, or may even involve patients at high risk for cancer or patients with complex management questions.

Meeting details are as follow:

This workshop is an introduction to Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using AMOS software. SEM is an extension of the general linear model (GLM) that enables a researcher to test a set of regression equation simultaneously. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is a statistical models that try to clarify and explain relationships among multiple latent variables (Constructions)

In SEM, the interrelated relationship among multiple dependent and independent constructs can be examined by researchers. SEM methods have been used in many disciplines and have become an important method for analysis in scientific research.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION ON THE EVENTS : 

The Asia Pacific Association of Medical Toxicology (APAMT) is an international association established by a group of medical toxicologists in 1989 to promote all aspects of chemical safety, poison control and treatment within the Asia Pacific region. APAMT has been able to achieve much of its objectives through sharing poison information, investigative research and collaborating with governmental organisations, professional bodies, individuals and academic institutions.

The Annual International Scientific Congress is an important event for the association. The assembly is a platform for clinicians, toxicologists, poison specialists, and researchers to engage and share new experiences, development and controversies in toxicology. Since 1992, APAMT has conducted its yearly congress in various countries in the Asia Pacific including Dubai in the UAE. Malaysia has been granted the privilege to organise and host APAMT 2019, an honour it has already enjoyed on two previous occasions in 2001 and 2011.

The organising of APAMT 2019 is a joint effort of APAMT, the Malaysia National Poison Centre (Universiti Sains Malaysia) and the Malaysian Society on Toxinology and College of Emergency Physicians (Malaysia Academy of Medicine). The congress, scheduled for 5-7 November 2019 will kick-off with three Pre-Congress Workshops on 4 November. The entire proceedings of APAMT 2019 will be wholly conducted at The Everly Putrajaya, a modern 4-star hotel.

The chosen theme for APAMT 2019, “Facing Challenges in Toxicology: Fusing Technology and People” is deemed appropriate and well timed in the current medical technological era. The congress will reflect on new approaches, future trends and challenges in medical toxicology especially in the Asia Pacific region through scholarly discussions and presentations.

Broadly, the congress scientific programme will also include other important aspects of toxicology such as natural toxins, pesticide poisonings, medical management of poisoning, analytical toxicology, risk assessment, mental health and poisoning, drugs (dose to poison) and, environmental & occupational hazards and risks assessment.

I am inviting you to browse through the conference website for more information on the congress: Scientific program, Speakers, Registration details, Abstract submission, Fees, Conference venue, Accommodation and other related details.

As in all its previous assemblies, APAMT 2019 promises to inspire, uplift and enrich its audience. Do mark the dates of the congress in your calendar. My fellow organisers and I are looking forward to welcoming you to APAMT 2019 in Putrajaya this November.

Best wishes

Introduction

This course teaches the participants the basic principle of resuscitating a collapse victim. The knowledge of Basic Life Support (BLS) is important to everyone since anyone can died suddenly because of various causes such as heart attack, chocking or having massive stroke.

This incident can occur anywhere and most of the time without any warning. It can happen to your loved one, relative, colleague or even passerby. When these things happen, immediate aid should be given to them within the first four minutes of the incident if we want to save them. This is because any delay in rendering help to these victims will result in unsalvageable condition.

About the course

This course is run over half day. This course is for healthcare providers who need to know how to perform CPR, as well as other lifesaving skills, in a wide variety of in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings.

 It involves interactive lectures, demonstration, practical hands-on, videos and assessment. It is conducted by a group of professionals made up of doctors, paramedics and nurses. All of them have a vast experience in teaching and training of basic life support. They work full time in Emergency Department in which these skills of basic life support are a daily requirement for the job.

The purpose of the course is to equip the prime mover of an investigator-initiated trial with the essential tools to do one and publish the study.  It will deal with the elements required by most journals to give the study the best chance for a successful publication.  Areas covered will be getting the design right, getting the outcomes right, randomization, and the special areas in analysis, assessing treatment effects, and the required method (CONSORT) of presenting the results.

Who should attend: Academic staff, Medical Officers, Pharmacists, and anyone involved in or intend to be involved in clinical research.

Neurology practice has evolved at a remarkable and exciting pace over the last two decades, driven by the advances of genetic technologies and paralleled by a similar progress in therapeutics. As a jobbing neurologist, it is challenging to keep abreast with all the advances made within the various neurology subspecialties. Our programme reflects, in a microcosm, the diversity of Neurology and its inherent complexity.

In this symposium we discuss common mundane neurological topics (stroke, headache, epilepsy, dementia). We hear an update on the management of these disorders with emphasis on available new drugs. We also discuss less commonly encountered entities such as autoimmune encephalitis and myasthenia gravis.

Our keynote speaker will discuss diverse gene therapies, which are being researched and applied across various genetic neurological disorders. These therapies will be a significant game-changer in the management of degenerative and genetic neurological disorders. In the future we may be in a position where we can offer patients these treatments to prevent the manifestation of a gene-driven disease rather than simply aiming to stabilise a condition.

Our final session is dedicated to functional neurological disorders (FND) – how to recognise, diagnose and manage FND. FND is a common problem in the neurology clinic. Two lectures on physical and psychological treatment will highlight how new transparent and multidisciplinary approaches to treatment have emerged in recent years for these disabling conditions.

The symposium is aimed at students, doctors in training, GPs, general physicians and neurologists. We hope that the audience will find all sessions of interest and thought-provoking, and that the programme will stimulate discussion even beyond the day of the symposium.
