To report gastric emptying scintigraphy, normal values should be established for a specific protocol. The aim of this study was to provide and determine factors affecting using Asian rice-based meal in healthy volunteers.One hundred ninety-two volunteers were included at 7 tertiary care centers across Thailand. Gastric scintigraphy acquired 45 degree left anterior oblique view immediately after ingestion 267 kcal steamed-rice with technetium-99m labeled-microwaved egg 100 mL water up 4...
Trabecular bone score (TBS), which has been proposed to be used in complementary with mineral density (BMD) improve the assessment of fracture risk, is negatively associated body mass index (BMI). The effect soft tissue, expected thicker subjects high BMI, on TBS was studied using three scan types: Hologic fast array mode (Hfa), definition (Hhd), and GE-Lunar iDXA. A spine phantom provided by for routine quality control procedure scanned Hfa, Hhd, an overlying tissue equivalent material...
Body composition measurement is very important for early nutritional care in hemodialysis patients. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) a gold standard test, but clinically limited. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) with multifrequency technique practical and reliable tool. This cross-sectional study was aimed to compare the agreement of BIA DXA body patients evaluate their associated factors. measured by 2 methods (InBody S10 InBody 720) after session. A total 69 measurements were...
Trabecular bone score (TBS), which has been shown to discriminate patients with fractures from healthy individuals, decreases age. This study was conducted derive an age-adjusted normative TBS curve for each gender aged 30-80 + years serve as reference data Thai males and females. A cross-sectional among employees the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand cohorts, after excluding those conditions potentially affecting metabolism analysis. The values at L1-L4 vertebrae were analyzed...
This study developed a prediction model to assess the need for asymptomatic osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) screening in women without using clinical risk factors. Our results demonstrated that combination of age, height loss, and femoral neck T-score can predict OVCF comparable previous models, including FRAX.Osteoporotic is major osteoporosis patients. Early detection reduce subsequent fractures death. Many existing diagnostic tools screen but none aim identify OVCF. The...
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a condition with high mortality, but it amenable to secondary prevention. Data on its prevalence in Thailand are scarce. To study the of PAD middle-class, urban Thai population, cross-sectional was conducted at Electric Generating Authority Thailand's head plant, Nonthaburi, 2002 and 2003 all surviving contactable employees former who had participated first cardiovascular risk factors survey 1985. Participants completed structured questionnaire detailing...
A number of healthy workers rarely exercise because a lack time or resources. Physical activity related to work and everyday travel may be more feasible, but evidence its beneficial effect on bone health is scarce. We assessed if this form physical was associated with higher mineral density (BMD) stiffness index (SI) when adjusted for recreational activity, age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, education, serum level 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Healthy workers, aged 25–54 yr, the...
The causal effect of adipose tissue on bone mass and the direction its net influence have not been directly assessed in adult humans. Using Mendelian randomization analysis, we causality adiposity measurements males females.Subjects consisted 2154 adults aged 25-54 years from a cross-sectional cohort employees Electricity Generating Authority Thailand. Body composition was determined after at least 3 h fasting using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. Bone mineral density (BMD)...
Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) may alter the biological activity of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]; this could influence on effects vitamin in relation to bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures. Emerging data suggest that fetuin-A be involved metabolism. We aimed investigate DBP gene polymorphism relationship status levels BMD markers.This cross-sectional study was part a health survey employees Electricity Generating Authority Thailand (1,734 healthy subjects, 72% male). Fasting...
This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between skeletal bone mineral density (BMD) and periodontitis in Thai adults elders.This comprised 3282 participants aged 30-82 years. BMD was assessed at 3 sites using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Each participant's status classified as normal, osteopenia or osteoporosis. Periodontal assessments were number of remaining teeth, plaque score, probing depth clinical attachment level (CAL). The into no/mild moderate/severe...
The breast cancer treatment paradigm has shifted to neoadjuvant treatment. There are many advantages treatment, such as tumor downsizing, in vivo biology testing, treating micrometastasis, and achieving complete pathological response (a surrogate marker for overall survival). However, the post settings, sentinel lymph node biopsy can be done using a dual staining technique decrease false-negative rate (FNR) increase detection rate. hospitals not equipped use radioisotopes. Here we...
Abstract Obesity is highly associated with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and increased risk of cirrhosis cancer-related death. We determined the diagnostic performance complex-based chemical shift technique MRI-PDFF for quantifying fat its correlation histopathologic findings in an obese population within 24 h before bariatric surgery. This was a prospective, cross-sectional, Institutional Review Board-approved study PDFF-MRI MRI-DIXON image volume Liver tissues were obtained...
Osteoporosis is commonly evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for bone mineral density (BMD). Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scans provide an alternative opportunistic osteoporosis assessment. This study aimed to evaluate screening thresholds based on CT attenuation values in Hounsfield units (HU) of L1-L4 vertebrae from abdominal scans, compared DXA assessments the lumbar spine and hips. Conducted retrospectively over about two years, analysis included 109 patients...
The association between serum lipids and mortality has not previously been established in Thailand. Baseline data from the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) cohort study, plus a resurvey 15 years later were analyzed. Participants employees EGAT: 2702 men 797 women. Total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) taken as predictive variables; age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, body mass index...
A 36-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma underwent total thyroidectomy and received 3 separate 150 mCi doses of I-131 about 6 months apart. scan days after the first ablative dose second for high serum thyroglobulin (Tg) 48.1 ng/ml revealed focal uptake in bilateral pelvic regions, corresponding to adnexal masses on SPECT-CT. Bilateral ovarian cystectomy was performed histopathology endometrial cysts. Two surgery, a following third persistently Tg 20 ng/mL negative. The level...
Background. High circulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels tend to reflect tumor aggressiveness for being associated with progression and prognosis. Measurement of soluble VEGF receptor-1 (sVEGFR-1) may improve diagnostic power assay. Methods. This study investigated regulation plasma by sVEGFR-1 in 82 patients head neck squamous cell carcinoma compared 32 healthy subjects obtain information assay characterization. Results. Normality or abnormality VEGF/sVEGFR-1secretion...
Background 131 I-meta-iodo-benzylguanidine ( I-mIBG) therapy has been used in treatment of for advanced neuroblastoma many years with promising results.
