To validate the Rosenbaum near vision card (Near Chart) and a smartphone-based visual acuity (VA) test (Eye against standard retro-illuminated Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart within participants.A cross-sectional study of participants aged ≥18 years was conducted. VA measured in all using ETDRS chart, Near Chart Eye application, respectively. converted to logarithm minimum angle resolution (logMAR) for statistical analysis. Eyes with worse than 1.0 logMAR (20/200)...
INTRODUCTION: The burden of alcohol-related complications is considerable, particularly alcohol-associated liver disease and alcohol use disorder (AUD). However, there are deficiencies in comprehensive epidemiological research focusing on these issues, especially among young women who display higher susceptibility to such compared with their male counterparts. We thus aimed determine the global conditions this vulnerable group. METHODS: Leveraging data from Global Burden Disease Study 2019,...
Background/Objectives: Unanticipated difficult airways remain a significant challenge in anesthesia practice and are associated with increased severe complication risk. This study developed validated novel predictive tool for identifying unanticipated airways. Methods: retrospective case-control analyzed data from 62,111 patients who underwent general between 2015 2020. Among them, 98 were identified matched 1:3 ratio 294 controls. Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to determine...
Background Although non-vascular findings from computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the aorta are not primary interpretation, significant can affect patient's treatment. Purpose To evaluate disagreement between radiology residents and staff regarding in CTA aorta. Material Methods We conducted a retrospective study 419 scans January 2014 December 2016. The final preliminary reports, which were interpreted by residents, recorded compared with blind interpretations an experienced member...
Implant placement accuracy in the distal free-end posterior region is often compromised, increasing risk of damage to adjacent anatomical structures and negatively affecting restoration function, occlusal loading, aesthetics. This study aimed assess implant using static computer-assisted surgery (CAIS) partially edentulous area with varying cantilever lengths evaluate correlation between length deviations. A prospective observational involved 40 patients 72 sites, divided into three groups:...
Background: This study aimed to develop a scoring system that predicts postoperative oxygen requirements, enhances clinical decision-making, reduces unnecessary use, and improves the efficiency of respiratory care. Methods: retrospective included patients who underwent elective non-cardiac surgery with general anesthesia between 1 January 2018 31 December 2022. The outcome was requirement at PACU discharge. Predictors significance were used create system. Results: Among 42,378 cases, 14.9%...
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and influencing factors of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy willingness pay in Thailand. A descriptive cross-sectional was conducted from 13 September 2021 14 January 2022. Data were collected using an online questionnaire consisting demographic characteristics, (delay acceptance denying vaccination), determinants (complacency, convenience, confidence), pay. The general Thai population aged ≥18 years surveyed. Among 705 respondents, 10.4% reported...
Vaccine-preventable diseases have decreased globally. However, measles and diphtheria outbreaks still occur in Southern Thailand, where Muslims are predominant with a documented low vaccine coverage. The purpose of this study was to investigate Muslim parents' beliefs factors influencing them complete immunization children aged 0-5 years Y.L. province, Thailand.A descriptive qualitative conducted, using focus group discussion 26 participants. They parents whose had or incomplete vaccination...
Sepsis is one of the well-established diseases with specific patterns neutrophil dysfunctions. Previous studies demonstrated sepsis-related dysfunctions in comparison subjects without infection. Since sepsis and infection are recently recognized as distinctive processes, whether these associated or not known. Therefore, we longitudinally compared functions, widely-cited exhibiting changes, between patients septic shock The surface level cluster differentiation 64 (CD64), C-C motif chemokine...
To flatten the curve of COVID-19 infections, with no effective pharmacological interventions or vaccine available in imminent future, public health responses must continue to rely on non-pharmacological interventions. We developed three innovation media promote physical distancing compliance (i.e., a fearful picture, red one-way arrow sign, and norm-speech sticker). This study aimed compare between our conventional Our was quasi-experiment, we observed representative sample university...
Abstract Background Protective behaviours (e.g., mask-wearing, handwashing, avoiding social gatherings) and mass vaccination are effective ways to control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Previous studies found that people who get vaccinated may change their protective behaviours. The Thai government has endorsed several mix-and-match vaccine regimens eliminate insufficiency of each brand. This study aimed determine levels behavioural changes after COVID-19 its relationship...
Abstract Background Health literacy (HL) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) can help control disease and prevent complications. However, most DM have inadequate HL; therefore, their HL must be further improved. This study aimed to determine the effects of online infographics on improving among DM. Methods randomized controlled trial was conducted from July 2022 September 2022, at primary care unit Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand; 30 were randomly assigned experimental ( n =...
Physical activity (PA) effectively prevents and treats non-communicable diseases in clinical settings. PA promotion needs to be more consistent, especially busy primary care. Sports scientists have the potential support The Activity with Scientist (PASS) programme is created personalise led by a sports scientist care clinic. A pragmatic randomised controlled trial two parallel groups will conducted at family medicine Physically inactive participants aged 35–70 years who type 2 diabetes...
Abstract Background This study describes the inequalities in access to a medication delivery service (MDS) during COVID-19 pandemic and identifies social determinants of health-related among non-communicable disease (NCD) patients. Methods Data were obtained from on impact health behaviours modifications Thai population 2021. The participants recruited Bangkok all four regions Thailand. concentration index was used examine inequality income quintiles, which standardised by age, sex, living...
In Thailand, The National Science and Technology Development Agency developed ThaiSook, a behavior-tracking app, to promote healthy lifestyles. Faculty of Medicine, Prince Songkla University (MED PSU)×ThaiSook Healthier Challenge encouraged employees use the app over 28-day period (from July 11 August 7, 2022). Until recently, no previous studies have examined association generations group sizes with mobile health (mHealth) use. Understanding these relationships can inform design effective...
Alcohol companies in Thailand have adopted surrogate marketing that uses similar logos on non-alcoholic products. We aimed to assess variations of the alcohol recognition using reaction time and desire drink among consumers exposed original modified (i.e., black logos, partial beverages other merchandise).

Septic shock represents a subset of sepsis with severe physiological aberrations and higher mortality rate than alone. Currently, the laboratory tools which can be used to identify state septic are limited. In pre-clinical studies, extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially large EVs (lEVs), have been demonstrated role as functional inflammatory mediators sepsis. However, its longitudinal trend during disease course has not explored. this study, quantities subtypes plasma-derived lEVs were...
