Organized by MSU’s Faculty of Health and Life Sciences (FHLS), School of Pharmacy (SPH), and International Medical School (IMS), it opened with a keynote lecture on the challenges in estimating body composition during a pandemic; delivered by Kagawa Nutrition University Institute of Nutrition Sciences Deputy Director, Associate Professor Dr Masaharu Kagawa in Japan.
An industry engagement session with sponsorship partners preceded the opening of Symposium 1, which presented the ‘Development of Malaysian Orang Asli Coping Strategy (MORACS) scale to measure household food insecurity among Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia’ by Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The ‘Impact of COVID-19 crisis on work, private life, mental health well-being and quality of life’ was delivered by MSU Faculty of Life and Sciences (FHLS) Dean in Symposium 2.
Achieving work-life balance with regards to Covid-19 as a syndemic was delivered by MSU Clinical Centre of Excellence (MyCell) Director in Symposium 3.
The seventeenth iMPaCHS presented two awards to fourteen recipients.
The coveted MSU Vice-Chancellor Junainah Abdul Hamid Award went to Juwita Junit from Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Hons) for her behavioural study on the effects of Nevgro Forte in treating depression in rat models induced with chronic mild stress.
In first place for the Best Research e-Poster Award is Iffa Nadia Mokhtar from Bachelor in Nutrition (Hons), who researched the association of socio-demographic and lifestyle changes with body weight status during the COVID-19 pandemic among university students in the state of Selangor’s city of Shah Alam.
In second place is Nisha Shahrawi from Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Hons) with her analysis of seafood oil extracts and multivariate data for halal authentication.
Taking third place is Nurin Syahirah Shuhaimi from Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Technology (Hons), who presented her findings in the knowledge, attitude, and practice among Selangor’s healthcare students with regards to the spontaneous reporting system in Malaysia.
