We conducted a retrospective cohort study in the medical intensive care unit of Chaing Mai University Hospital to describe epidemiology ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and identify prognostic indicators 30-day VAP mortality. A total 621 patients diagnosed with between January 2005 December 2011 were included. The overall mortality rate was 44.4%. major causative pathogens Acinetobacter baumannii (54.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (35.2%), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus...
Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. In upper northern Thailand (UNT), cancer incidence was frequently reported by National Cancer Institute. Besides smoking, radon may also influence high in this region. Indoor concentrations were measured 192 houses eight provinces UNT. ranged from 11 to 405 Bq m-3 and estimated annual effective dose 0.44 12.18 mSv y-1. There significant differences indoor between cases healthy controls (p = 0.033). We that 26% deaths...
Small airways play a major role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) asthma. More data on small airway dysfunction (SAD) using spirometry impulse oscillometry (IOS) these populations are required. The objective this study was to compare two methods, IOS, for SAD detection its prevalence defined by IOS subjects with COPD asthma without fixed airflow obstruction (FAO).This is cross-sectional study.Spirometric parameters were compared across four...
Information is limited regarding the role of impulse oscillometry (IOS) for detection preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm). Therefore, we aimed to study diagnostic ability IOS in differentiating between PRISm and healthy subjects. This retrospective data collection was done at Lung Health Center, Faculty Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Thailand July 2019 April 2022. The potential possibilities difference resistance 5 Hz (R5) 20 (R20) (R5-R20) were analyzed. prevalence higher when...
Background/Objectives: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) affect oxidative stress and systemic inflammation, which might modify the risk of thrombosis in asthmatic patients exposed to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5). Therefore, we aim know biomarkers stress, coagulation ICS-treated, well-controlled adult after exposure PM2.5. Methods: This study was conducted compare urinary i.e., 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), blood inflammation...
