Daily preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with oral emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) decreases the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition. Initiation TDF bone mineral density (BMD) in HIV-infected people. We report effect FTC/TDF on BMD HIV-seronegative men who have sex transgender women.Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed at baseline 24-week intervals a substudy iPrEx, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial PrEP. Plasma...
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...
Objectives. To develop a simple scoring system to predict dengue infection severity based on patient characteristics and routine clinical profiles. Methods. Retrospective data of children with from 3 general hospitals in Thailand were reviewed. Dengue was categorized into levels: (DF), hemorrhagic fever (DHF), shock syndrome (DSS). Coefficients significant predictors disease under ordinal regression analysis transformed item scores. Total scores used classify patients levels. Results....
People living with HIV who are on antiretroviral treatment at increased risk of developing premature cardiovascular disease. Children perinatal infection (PHIV) have survived through their adolescence and entering adulthood. We determined the prevalence metabolic syndrome, abnormal biochemical markers, characterized body composition parameters in youth infection. This cross-sectional study was conducted Research Institute for Health Sciences, Chiang Mai University, Mai, Thailand from...
To define the risk factors for hearing loss in infants (aged 3 months) under universal screening program.A total of 3,120 who underwent using a program automated otoacoustic emission test between November 1, 2010 and May 31, 2012 Uttaradit Hospital, Buddhachinaraj Sawanpracharuk Hospital (tertiary hospitals) located Northern Thailand were included this prospective cohort study.Of infants, 135 (4.3%) confirmed to have with conventional test. Five these (3.7%) showed results consistent...
The study explored clinical risk characteristics that may be used to forecast scrub typhus severity under routine practices.Retrospective data were collected from patients registered at two university-affiliated tertiary care hospitals in the north of Thailand, 2004 2010. Key information was retrieved in-patient records, out patient cards, laboratory reports and registers. Patients classified into three groups: nonsevere, severe (those with least one organ involvement), deceased. Prognostic...
The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mainly relies on spirometry. Due to the complexity spirometry, easier-to-do impulse oscillometry (IOS) has been introduced as a complementary approach conventional function testing. Therefore, this study aimed assess efficacy diagnostic ability IOS for diagnosing (COPD). This cross-sectional was conducted at Lung Health Center, Chiang Mai University, Thailand, between June 2019 and January 2020. spirometry were performed with all...
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between fat mass, lean and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal perimenopausal Thai women. Methods: A cross-sectional conducted 1579 healthy women aged 40–90 years. Total body, lumbar spine, total femur, femoral neck BMD body composition were measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry. To evaluate associations mass various measures BMD, multivariable linear regression models used estimate coefficients for first...
To develop a simple risk-scoring system to forecast scrub typhus severity.Seven years' retrospective data of patients diagnosed with from two university-affiliated hospitals in the north Thailand were analyzed. Patients categorized into three severity groups: nonsevere, severe, and dead. Predictors for analyzed under multivariable ordinal continuation ratio logistic regression. Significant coefficients transformed item score summed total scores.Predictors age >15 years, (odds [OR] =4.09),...
Background Impulse oscillometry (IOS) has been introduced as a method of assessing asthma control. However, the cutoff IOS values for detection control in adults are still unclear.Objective To assess diagnostic ability distinguishing between poorly controlled and well adult asthmatic subjects with normal spirometry.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at Lung Health Center, Chiang Mai, Thailand, July 2019 June 2020. spirometry were performed all but only enrolled. Poorly defined...
Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare form of systemic non-Langerhans cell histocytosis with an unknown specific etiology and pathogenesis. Symptoms findings the depend on site extent involvement. We report case 43-year-old man ECD who presented fatigue, sweats, bone pain. The characteristic lesions ECD, including involvement long bones, were detected Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy PET/CT imaging.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate outcome radioiodine treatment in thyrotoxicosis childhood and adolescence.This a retrospective 27 patients (ages 7.2- 19.8 years) with diagnosis who received iodine-131 (I-131) from January 2007 December 2011 Nuclear Medicine Division, Department Radiology, Faculty Medicine, Chiang Mai University. Gender, duration antithyroid drug (ATD) treatment, 24-hour I-131 uptake, thyroid weight, total dose number treatments I-131, status at 6 months after...
Background Maternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of large-for-gestational-age births and childhood obesity. However, evidence on its potential associations long-term offspring body composition remains limited. This prospective cohort study examined between maternal mass index (BMI) during pregnancy in the young adult offspring. Methods Participants were from a birth Chiang Mai (Thailand). BMI was assessed at first antenatal clinic visit (≤24 weeks gestation) 1989–1990. In...

The ethnicity is significantly under-reported and this may limit the applicability of current impulse oscillometry (IOS) equations to heterogeneous patient populations. Establishing predictive for IOS in Thai adult population still required. Therefore, study aimed establish reference population.This retrospective cross-sectional parameters healthy adults aged greater than 20 years old with normal spirometry who had no chronic respiratory diseases. Pre-bronchodilator (BD) was performed all...
To validate a simple scoring system to classify dengue viral infection severity patients in different settings.The developed derived from 777 three tertiary-care hospitals was applied 400 the validation data obtained another hospitals. Percentage of correct classification, underestimation, and overestimation compared. The score discriminative performance two datasets compared by analysis areas under receiver operating characteristic curves.Patients were those development some aspects. In...
The aim of the study reported here was to validate risk-scoring algorithm for prognostication scrub typhus severity.The severity developed earlier from two general hospitals in Thailand validated using an independent dataset patients one a few years later. predictive performances datasets were compared by analysis area under receiver-operating characteristic curve (AuROC). Classification into non-severe, severe, and fatal cases also compared.The proportions operational definition similar...
Hurthle cell carcinoma (HCC) of the thyroid is an uncommon and relatively rare differentiated neoplasm. To our knowledge, no reported case adrenal metastases with abdominal carcinomatosis secondary to HCC has been demonstrated by F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging. One report uptake on I-131 whole-body scan exists. In this report, we describe a patient who had left metastasis that was discovered using
