Efficacy of Rectal Versus Oral Chloral Hydrate in Pediatric Auditory Brainstem Response: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To compare sedation success rates between rectal (RCH) and oral chloral hydrate (OCH) administration in children undergoing auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing and assess the incidence of adverse effects.

Study Design: Randomized controlled trial, performed between May 2023 and August 2023.

Setting: Ear, Nose, and Throat Outpatient Department at tertiary care hospital.

Impact of Climate on the Incidence of Acute Coronary Syndrome - Differences Between Japan and Thailand.

Although there are many reports of temperature being associated with the onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), few studies have examined differences in ACS due to climatic differences between Japan and Thailand. The aim of this joint Japan-Thailand study was to compare patients with myocardial infarction in Japanese and Thai hospitals in different climates. We estimated the climate data in 2021 for the Wakayama Prefecture and Chonburi Province, two medium-sized cities in Japan and Thailand, respectively, and ACS patients who were treated at the Wakayama Medical University (WMU) and Burapha University Hospital (BUH), the two main hospitals in these provinces (ACS patient numbers: WMU, n=177; BUH, n=93), respectively.

Five times over: 42 new species highlight Southeast Asia's rich biodiversity (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora, Hypselostomatidae).

The Southeast Asian genus , currently comprising 13 nominal species, encompasses the world's tiniest land snails. This work shows that there are far more species than previously suspected, and that this genus is in fact, a very speciose group of tiny snails widely distributed in Southeast Asia. is revised based on type material of known species as well as 211 samples newly collected in China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

Real-Time Human Motion Tracking by Tello EDU Drone.

Human movement tracking is useful in a variety of areas, such as search-and-rescue activities. CCTV and IP cameras are popular as front-end sensors for tracking human motion; however, they are stationary and have limited applicability in hard-to-reach places, such as those where disasters have occurred. Using a drone to discover a person is challenging and requires an innovative approach.

Metal- and solvent-free synthesis of aniline- and phenol-based triarylmethanes Brönsted acidic ionic liquid catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction.

A beneficial, scalable and efficient methodology for the synthesis of aniline-based triarylmethanes has been established through the double Friedel-Crafts reaction of commercial aldehydes and primary, secondary or tertiary anilines using Brönsted acidic ionic liquid as a powerful catalyst, namely [bsmim][NTf]. This protocol was successfully performed under metal- and solvent-free conditions with a broad range of substrates, giving the corresponding aniline-based triarylmethane products in good to excellent yields (up to 99%). In addition, alternative aromatic nucleophiles such as phenols and electron-rich arenes were also studied using this useful approach to achieve a diversity of triarylmethane derivatives in high to excellent yields.

Influence of alcohol treatments on properties of silk-fibroin-based films for highly optically transparent coating applications.

Thin films of silk fibroin were prepared by solvent evaporation from calcium chloride/ethanol aqueous solution. The influence of alcohol treatments on thermal, mechanical and optical properties of silk-fibroin-based film is presented. To understand the conformal structure of the alcohol-treated silk fibroin film, the IR spectral decomposition method is employed.

Differential Run-Length Encryption in Sensor Networks.

Energy is a main concern in the design and deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks because sensor nodes are constrained by limitations of battery, memory, and a processing unit. A number of techniques have been presented to solve this power problem. Among the proposed solutions, the data compression scheme is one that can be used to reduce the volume of data for transmission.

Respirometric activities of unacclimatized and mixed culture bacteria in sequencing batch reactor systems in response to acrylamide and its biodegradation products.

The acute effects of acrylamide and its biodegradation products on the respiration activities of microbes during wastewater treatment are not well understood. Herein, unacclimatized mixed culture bacteria and from two aerobic treatment systems, Activated Sludge (AS) and Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) both of which were sequencing batch reactors (SBR), were studied for their response to acrylamide. Respiration activities and biodegradation rates were determined by both the OxiTop respirometer and batch studies.

Apical acidity decreases inhibitory effect of omeprazole on Mg(2+) absorption and claudin-7 and -12 expression in Caco-2 monolayers.

Clinical studies reported hypomagnesaemia in long-term omeprazole usage that was probably due to intestinal Mg(2+) wasting. Our previous report demonstrated the inhibitory effect of omeprazole on passive Mg(2+) transport across Caco-2 monolayers. The present study aimed to identify the underlying mechanism of omeprazole suppression of passive Mg(2+) absorption.

Prevalence of benzodiazepines misuse in Ubon Ratchathani province Thailand.

Background: Benzodiazepines misuse, abuse, and dependence is becoming a new problem in medicine used in Thailand.

Objective: Study the prevalence of benzodiazepines use, misuse, abuse, and dependence in Ubon Ratchathani province Thailand.

Material And Method: A cross-sectional household survey was conducted between October 2008 and June 2009.
