Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between chewing ability (masticatory performance) and gastric function using frankfurter sausage in healthy adults.
- The research involved 40 participants, testing masticatory performance through chewing cycles and analyzing gastric emptying via scintigraphy.
- Results indicated no significant correlation between chewing metrics and gastric emptying parameters, suggesting that masticatory performance does not influence gastric function.
Background/aims: To report gastric emptying scintigraphy, normal values should be established for a specific protocol. The aim of this study was to provide normal gastric emptying values and determine factors affecting gastric emptying using Asian rice-based meal in healthy volunteers.
Methods: One hundred and ninety-two healthy volunteers were included at 7 tertiary care centers across Thailand.
Background: Prognosis of traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head in children is poor for either conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Intravenous bisphosphonate is an expecting medication to reduce femoral head resorption and to prevent femoral head collapse after traumatic osteonecrosis. This mechanism will reduce development of osteoarthritis and disability in the future.

Method: To evaluate variables related to death in well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) in a population of southern Thailand, we retrospectively reviewed medical records of all those treated with radioactive iodine (I-131) at the Division of Nuclear Medicine from 1983 to 2002. We found 1056 subjects.
