Linear regression analysis for complete blood count parameters during radiotherapy.
Strahlenther Onkol
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Samut Sakhon Hospital, 74000, Samut Sakhon, Thailand.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the correlations between complete blood count (CBC) during radiotherapy and patient and treatment factors.
Patients And Methods: Data of cancer patients, including age, sex, concurrent chemotherapy (CCRT), radiotherapy dose (equivalent dose in 2‑Gy fractions with an alpha/beta value of 10 Gy, EQD2Gy10), radiotherapy location, and baseline CBC were collected. Linear regression was used to determine results during radiation.
The Minimally Invasive Intercostal Subdiaphragmatic Access without Rib Resection for Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion at L1/2: Surgical Techniques and Cases Illustration.

Article Synopsis
- The minimally invasive lateral approach to the thoracolumbar junction is complex for spine surgeons due to unique anatomical challenges and ongoing debates regarding technique choices, including rib resection.
- The senior author's technique involves an intercostal subdiaphragmatic retroperitoneal method that allows for lateral lumbar interbody fusion at L1/2 without rib removal, demonstrated both in patients undergoing multilevel fusion and in a cadaver study.
- The staged multilevel procedures showed no complications, led to significant symptom improvement in patients, and yielded positive radiographic results, suggesting this technique as a viable alternative for upper lumbar spine access during surgeries.
Prevalence and Clinical Impact of Coronal Malalignment Following Circumferential Minimally Invasive Surgery (CMIS) for Adult Spinal Deformity Correction.
Global Spine J
October 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study is a retrospective analysis aimed at investigating the prevalence and clinical significance of coronal malalignment (CM) in patients who underwent corrective spinal surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) using the Constrained Minimally Invasive Surgery (CMIS) technique.
- It included 120 patients who met specific criteria related to spinal alignment and were followed for at least one year after surgery, with assessments made based on various radiographic and clinical measures.
- Results showed significant improvement in both radiographic and clinical outcomes post-surgery; however, rates of postoperative CM varied by patient type, with higher incidences in types B and C, although overall long-term outcomes between coronal aligned (CA) and CM patients were mostly similar,
The Effect of Standard Compression Adjuvant with a Tailored Exercise Training Program on Health-Related Quality of Life Outcomes in Treating Adults with Venous Leg Ulcer: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Int J Low Extrem Wounds

Environmental-Occupational Health Sciences and Non-Communicable Diseases Research Group, Research Institute for Health Sciences, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Exercise training adjuvant to standard compression is considered to improve calf muscle pump dysfunction in venous leg ulcer (VLU) and subsequent healing. The objectives of this trial were to assess the effectiveness of a tailored exercise training intervention in addition to standard compression therapy on health-related quality of life and anticipating wound healing. Twenty-four VLU participants were recruited and randomly divided into 2 groups.

Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the virucidal efficacy of 0.4% povidone-iodine (PVP-I) nasal spray against SARS-CoV-2 in the patients' nasopharynx at 3 minutes and 4 hours after PVP-I exposure.
Patients And Methods: The study was an open-label, before and after design, single-arm pilot study of adult patients with RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 within 24 hours.
Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture without Neurological Deficit: Review of Controversies and Current Evidence of Treatment.

Department of Orthopedics, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand; Center of Excellence in Biomechanics and Innovative Spine Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Electronic address:
Thoracolumbar burst fracture without neurological deficit is a common spinal injury. The ideal classification for the diagnosis and the optimal management strategies, including conservative management, surgical approach, implant constructs, need for spinal fusion, and implant removal, are controversial and currently being investigated. This article reviews the current literature to provide updated evidence on these topics.

Asian Spine J
October 2022
Department of Orthopedics, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Study Design: Randomized double-blind control study.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of nefopam on reducing morphine consumption and postoperative pain in patients undergoing minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) and to evaluate its effects on enhanced recovery after spine surgery.
Overview Of Literature: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has become a major goal for spine surgery.
A study regarding follow-ups after green pit viper bites treated according to the practice guideline by the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand.
Clin Toxicol (Phila)
September 2020
Department of Trauma and Emergency Medicine, Samut Sakhon Hospital, Mahachai, Samut Sakhon, Thailand.
For patients bitten by a Green Pit Viper (GPV), the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) guideline suggests a physician order blood tests immediately after the ED arrival and repeat them 2 h later, if initial results are normal. If repeat tests remain normal, the patient can be discharged and scheduled for outpatient-follow-up at 24, 48 and 72 h. To determine the probability of abnormal blood tests at the second draw (2 h after the first draw), and to determine the probability of adverse events within 24+/-12 h among those discharged home for outpatient-follow-up.

Department of Dentistry, Samut Sakhon Hospital, Samut Sakhon, Thailand; Department of Restorative Dentistry and Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Aim: To evaluate the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who attended a rheumatology clinic in a university hospital.
Methods: All consecutive patients with RA who attended the rheumatology clinic between June 2009 and January 2010 were asked to enroll in this study. All participants answered questionnaires, which included demographic data, medical history, medications used and smoking habits.
