Exploring eating disorder risk among Thai transfeminine youth: a comparative study with cisgender females.

Background: Adolescents, particularly vulnerable during puberty, often face heightened concerns about dieting and body image. Transfeminine youth, especially in Asian cultures, are understudied in this context. This study investigates eating disorder risks among Thai transfeminine youth and compares to cisgender females, focusing on the association with body dissatisfaction.

Exposure to Bisphenol A and Its Analogs among Thai School-Age Children.

Bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS) have become popular substitutes for bisphenol A (BPA) in the plastic industry due to concerns over BPA's adverse effects. However, there is limited information on children's exposure to these chemicals. This study aims to assess the extent of BPA, BPF, and BPS exposure and determine factors that influence such exposure.

Feeding and eating disorders among hospitalized children and adolescents in Thailand: A 5-year secondary national database analysis.

Aims: This study aimed to present national data for children and adolescents requiring hospitalization in Thailand.

Background: Feeding and eating disorders can cause life-threatening and negative health impacts. In Asia, the prevalence is rising.

Serum Cortisol as a Biomarker of Severe Dengue.

Dengue infection presents a wide range of clinical symptoms. Serum cortisol is known as a severity predictor of serious infection but is not yet clearly understood in dengue infection. We aimed to investigate the pattern of cortisol response after dengue infection and evaluate the possibility of using serum cortisol as the biomarker to predict the severity of dengue infection.

Five-Year Trend of Adolescent Hospitalizations and Deaths in Thailand: A Secondary National Data Health Situation Analysis.

Adolescence is a critical phase for achieving human potential, serving as the foundation for later health. In 2010, the major causes of hospital admissions and deaths in Thai adolescents were related to preventable causes, specifically engagement in high-risk behaviors such as unprotected sexual intercourse, substance use and unsafe driving. We retrieved data from 1,761,667 adolescent (10-17 years) hospital admissions and 6362 deaths between 2015 and 2019 from the National Health Security Office database.

The attitudes and expectation of caregivers of febrile child receiving medical services: a multicenter survey in Thailand.

Background: Most caregivers may visit pediatric outpatient clinics with high concern of fever and improper antipyretic use. However, studies of concern about fever in Asian countries are still limited.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore caregivers' attitudes, management of their child's fever, factors associated with their high concern, and expectation from medical services.

Recurrent hypoglycemic seizure as a presenting symptom of post-TBI hypopituitarism in children: a case report, review and proposed protocol.

Objectives: Post-traumatic brain injury hypopituitarism is a common unrecognized condition in children after head injury. Due to its similarity of clinical symptoms with those of head trauma, clinical diagnosis of post-TBI hypopituitarism is challenging. To date, there is no standardized screening protocol for children with history of brain injury.

Anthropometric Markers and Iron Status of 6-12-Year-Old Thai Children: Associations and Predictors.

Introduction: Obesity may be associated with poor iron status. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between different indices of iron status and anthropometric measurements in Thai children.

Materials And Methods: Anthropometry (weight, height, waist circumference (WC), and body composition assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis) and iron indices were measured in 336 Thai children aged 6-12 years.

Adherence to Screening for Anemia in 9-Month-Old Full-Term Infants in Bangkok, Thailand.

Objectives: To determine adherence to the screening for anemia in 9-month-old full-term infants and factors associated with non-adherence to the screening for anemia.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 9-month-old full-term healthy infants who visited the General Pediatric and Well Child Care Clinic, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Demographic data, adherence to the screening, and factors associated with non-adherence to the screening were analyzed using percentage, χ2 test, and bivariate logistic regression.

A case of PHACE syndrome with growth hormone deficiency and abnormal thyroid functions.

Background PHACE syndrome is a rare vascular neurocutaneous disorder characterized by posterior fossa anomalies, hemangioma, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies and eye anomalies. Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) has been infrequently described. Case presentation We report a girl with PHACE syndrome.

Endocrine manifestations of PHACE syndrome.

PHACE syndrome is an uncommon disorder of posterior fossa anomalies, cervicofacial infantile hemangiomas, arterial anomalies, cardiac defects, eye anomalies, and midline/ventral defects. Endocrine abnormalities including hypopituitarism and ectopic thyroid were rarely described. In this article we review occurrence, onset, presenting symptoms, hormonal treatments and outcomes of all endocrine abnormalities in PHACE syndrome.
