Factors Affecting Glycemic Control in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in Kalasin Province, Thailand: An Analytical Cross-Sectional Study.

Optimal glycemic management is critical since it can predict all associated essential causes of death, even after accounting for other risk factors. This study investigated the factors associated with glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly self-care behaviors. An analytical cross-sectional study examined 385 patients with T2DM in 1 general and 17 community hospitals in Kalasin Province.

Screening tools for metabolic syndrome based on anthropometric cut-off values among Thai working adults: a community-based study.

Background: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a universal disease of increasing prevalence, but the prevalence varies depending on ethnicity. There is a crucial need to assess the validity of anthropometric indicators and determine appropriate cut-off values for MetS screening.

Objective: Determine cut-off anthropometric indicators values for screening of MetS.

The Effects of Health Behavior Changing Program for Systolic Blood Pressure Reduction Among Thai Buddhist Monks, Thailand.

Thai Buddhist monks' lifestyle has made them likely to get non-communicable diseases. Therefore, the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand has conducted a health behavior-changing program for non-communicable diseases prevention among Thai Buddhist monks. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the health behavior-changing Program for Non- communicable diseases prevention among 4,786 Thai Buddhist monks who were risk group.

The Clinical and Biochemical Parameter Data: Effect of High Blood Glucose on Diabetic Nephropathy Among Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM), Thailand.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the long-term complications of patients with type 2 diabetes. The leading causes of DN are high blood glucose and hyper systolic blood pressure.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed to explore the effects of high blood sugar and hyper systolic blood pressure on DN among 660 non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Impact of knowledge, attitude, and practices of Type 2 diabetic patients: A study in the locality in Vietnam.

Background: Disease knowledge, appropriate attitude, and proper practices play an important role in disease control and reduction of diabetes-related complications and deaths. This study aims to investigate the impact of knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAPs) of Type 2 diabetic patients' outcomes.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional research was conducted on a group of 102 Type 2 diabetic participants in 17 communities in Tam Binh District, Vinh Long Province, Vietnam.

The Information from Medical Data Based: Prevalence and Expected Median Survival Time of Drug-Induced Hepatotoxicity Among Thai Patients with TB.

Background: Hepatotoxicity is very frequent and is a dangerously adverse effect of anti-TB medications. This effect can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment by compromising treatment regimens. Among these first-line quadruple therapy drugs (INH, RMP, PZA, and EMB), INH, RMP, and PZA are metabolized mostly by the liver, and due to this, are likely hepatotoxic.

Bats and belief: A sequential qualitative study in Thailand.

Bats are wildlife and distribute globally. In Thailand, there are hundreds of bat species in different locations within four regions. However, few motivations and influences for having contact with bats have been documented.

Google Maps: Prevalence and Distribution of Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Kalasin Province, Thailand.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major public health problem worldwide. Most of the problems are caused by uncontrolled blood sugar level, resulting in complications and possible death. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and distribution of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Statistical Analysis of Air Pollutants Concentration and Health Information Related to Respiratory Disease Patients in Bangkok, Thailand.

Air pollution can lead to exposure to foreign particles, air that can be inhaled deep into the lungs and cardiovascular system, causing diseases such as stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and respiratory infections. The Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient (r) was used to determine the strength of association between a pair of variables, to test the relationship between these variables and to test whether the association is greater than could be expected by chance. The linear regression between respiratory disease patients, PM10, and other air pollutants were used in this study.

Numerical Analysis of Conventional Air Pollutants and PM10 Concentration Affected to Respiratory Disease Patients in Bangkok, Thailand.

Ambient air pollution is a major cause of death and disease globally. The linear regression between respiratory disease patients, PM10 and other criteria pollutants were used in this study. Among respiratory disease patients and CO was statistically significant with P-value of <0.

Risk factors for bat contact and consumption behaviors in Thailand; a quantitative study.

Background: Bats serve as an important reservoir for emerging infectious diseases. Bat contact and consumption, which persists in Asia, poses risks for the transmission of bat-borne infections.

Methods: An analytical cross-sectional survey for risk factors associated with bat contact and consumption behaviors was conducted in ten provinces of Thailand from May 2016 to December 2017.

Effectiveness of aromatherapy with light thai massage for cellular immunity improvement in colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

Background: Patients with colorectal cancer are usually treated with chemotherapy, which reduces the number of blood cells, especially white blood cells, and consequently increases the risk of infections. Some research studies have reported that aromatherapy massage affects the immune system and improves immune function by, for example, increasing the numbers of natural killer cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes. However, there has been no report of any study which provided good evidence as to whether aromatherapy with Thai massage could improve the immune system in patients with colorectal cancer.
