Background: The low-carbohydrate-ketogenic diet, an effective strategy to address metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obesity has raised concerns about high-fat consumption on atherogenic lipoproteins.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the Asian ketogenic diet (AKD), which incorporates balanced protein and fat intake from Asian foods, with a balanced low-caloric diet (BLC) in individuals diagnosed with MetS.

Methods: A 52-wk randomized clinical trial included 3 parallel groups: AKD with increased whole egg intake [egg yolk Asian ketogenic diet (Yolk-AKD, n = 28)], yolk-free ketogenic diet with egg white supplementation [egg white Asian ketogenic diet (White-AKD, n = 26)], and BLC (n = 22).

Background: The study of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in a developing country like Thailand has rarely been conducted in long-term cohorts, especially among the working-age population. We aim to assess the prevalence and incidence of risk factors and their associations underlying NCDs, especially type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among healthcare workers enrolled in the Siriraj Health (SIH) study cohort.

Methods: The SIH study was designed as a longitudinal cohort and conducted at Siriraj hospital, Thailand.

Background: Increasing levels of poor glycaemic control among Thai patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) motivated us to compare T2DM care between urban and suburban primary care units (PCUs), to identify gaps in care, and to identify significant factors that may influence strategies to enhance the quality of care and clinical outcomes in this population.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 2160 patients with T2DM treated at four Thai PCUs from 2019 to 2021, comprising one urban and three suburban facilities. Using mixed effects logistic regression, we compared care factors between urban and suburban PCUs.

This study aimed to compare newly developed diabetes-specific complete smoothie formulas with a standard diabetes-specific nutritional formula (DSNF) regarding their effects on glucose homeostasis, insulin levels, and lipid metabolism in obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, crossover study with 41 obese T2DM participants to compare two developed diabetes-specific complete smoothie formulas, a soy-based regular smoothie (SM) and a smoothie with modified carbohydrate content (SMMC), with the standard DSNF, Glucerna. Glycemic and insulin responses were assessed after the participants randomly consumed 300 kilocalories of each formulation on three separate days with a 7-day gap between.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how eating whole eggs affects growth factors like IGF-1 and gut health in kids aged 8-14.
  • Participants were divided into three groups: one consumed whole eggs, another a egg substitute, and the third had no extra calories.
  • Results showed that whole egg intake significantly increased IGF-1 levels and altered gut bacteria, suggesting potential benefits for growth and gut health, but it didn't have a major impact on short-chain fatty acids.

Article Synopsis
  • Many patients experience long COVID (LC), and this study compared their immune responses to those who fully recovered (HC) during the Omicron wave.
  • Researchers enrolled 292 patients with confirmed COVID infections and found that neutralizing antibodies were significantly lower against the BA.1 and BA.5 variants in both groups, especially for those vaccinated with fewer doses.
  • The study suggests that those with long COVID may need booster vaccinations sooner after infection to improve T cell function, as certain T cell subsets were found to be reduced in LC patients.

Background: Food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) are a useful dietary assessment tool to determine relationships between diet and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Our purpose was to validate a semiquantitative FFQ (semi-FFQ) for Thais at risk of metabolic syndrome (MS).

Methods: The researchers identified 345 men and women aged 30-65 years who were eligible for the study.
