Effects of high-intensity interval training on vascular function and maximum oxygen uptake in young sedentary females.

Objective: Sedentary behavior is one of the risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is one effective way to reduce the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. This research studies the effects of cycling-based HIIT on vascular function and cardiorespiratory fitness in sedentary people.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Venous Thromboembolism Following Major Abdominal Surgery.

Objective: Objective: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been recognized as a common surgical complication in Western populations more than in Asian populations. Guidelines recommend the routine use of pharmacological prophylaxis for high-risk general surgical patients to prevent VTE. However, the necessity of routine pharmacological prophylaxis for major abdominal surgery in Thai patients has not been clearly determined.

Incisional surgical site infection in colorectal surgery patients.

Background: Knowledge of specific risk factors for incisional Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is essential to create a specific SSI risk stratification index for colorectal surgery patients.

Objective: Identify factors increasing the risk of incisional SSI that lead to the development of a more efficient tool for predicting and comparing surgical site infection rates among surgeons and institutions performing the same type of procedure for colorectal surgery patients.

Material And Method: The authors conducted a prospective incisional SSI surveillance in 229 consecutive patients who underwent open colon and rectal resections performed in Phramongkutklao Hospital between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2010.
