Department of Biomedical Engineeringwith the feasibility and conceptual design to assist the medical teams to transport and also to position the patients particularly in the operating room with safety concern. The first main conceptual system of Clinicon consists of the line follow tracking system... and the designed manipulator for transporting and positioning the patient to perform the task only in the operating room. However, this is still the conceptual design, the practical version robot; Clinicon, is quite challenge to be built in the future.Publication Open Access Classification of P-glycoprotein-interacting compounds using machine-learning methods(2015-07) Watshara Shoombuatong; Apilak Worachartcheewan; Veda Prachayasittikul; Chanin Nantasenamat; Virapong Prachayasittikul; Mahidol University. Faculty of Medical Technology. Center of Data Mining and Biomedical InformaticsP-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a drug transporter that plays important roles in multidrug resistance and drug pharmacokinetics. The inhibition of Pgp has become a notable strategy for combating multidrug-resistant cancers and improving therapeutic outcomesPublication Open Access Ecotopia 2121: Car-freeCities of the 22nd Century(2015) Marshall, Alan; Mahidol University. Faculty of Social Sciences and HumanitiesThe long-term futures of five cities from around the planet are outlined with the use of one visual image for each city. These cities are : Abu Dhabi(UAE), Denver(USA), Sao Paulo(Brazil), San Diego(USA), and Perth(Australia). These city’s futures are presented in ‘eco-utopian’ terms in which each city studied is proffered to operate within some sort of planned (or naturally-achieved) peaceful, happy and communally-desirable setting that exists in socio-ecological harmony (that is, harmony between society, people, and the environment). The central common feature investigated for all these cities of the future are their ‘car-free’ or ‘car-less’ character. In the spirit of previous idealistic imaginings by writers and artists that have worked on formulating utopias in decades and centuries past, some explanation about how each city can get to this eco-utopian status(by the year 2121AD) is declared, along with an explanation about the social, technical, and economic background that may be present then and there.Publication Open Access The Identification of Functional Non-Synonymous SNP in Human ATP Binding Cassette (ABC), Subfamily Member 7 Gene: Application of Bioinformatics Tools in Biomedicine.(Mahidol University, 2011) Pornlada Nuchnoi; Duangdao Nantakomol; Vasunun Chumchua; Chotiros Plabplueng; Chartchalerm Isarankura-Na-Ayudhya; Virapong Prachayasittikulof genotyping. In the present study, we applied various bioinformatics tools for the selection of high potentially functional nsSNP and determined the linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure of ATP-binding cassette transporter member 7 (ABCA7) genes in HapItem Open Access A study of the baby schema cute dog image feature impact on work relaxation(Mahidol University.

Thus, preventing the impact of stress, coping, and management is important. A previous study found that viewing cute animals or cute images are other ways to create positive feelings. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to create a... thematic paper provides knowledge and models of the cuteness features of dog images that are suitable for gender, age, occupation, age of work, working days per week, and type of transportation. The cuteness features models will be used to synthesizeItem Open Access Stress and work-related musculoskeletal disorders among cash-in-transit (CIT) guards of a bank's branch in the northern region of Thailand(Mahidol University, 2022) Rujirada Mungkhun; Amarin Kongtawelert; Pornpimol Kongtip; Sutham NanthamongkolchaiMost of the stress at work is caused by a number of factors found in the bank's valuable transportation career and musculoskeletal disorders from work were found to have the highest incidence rate and found that the workers in the formal sector were... staff, the assistant supervisor, and guarding driver, covered the bank's valuable assets transportation on the northern region of Thailand.

Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital. Section for Clinical Epidemiology and BiostatisticsBackground: Injury prediction scores facilitate the development of clinical management protocols to decrease mortality. However, most of the previously developed scores are limited in scope and are non-specific for use in children. We aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model of death for injured and Traumatised Thai children. Methods: Our cross-sectional study included 43,516 injured children from 34 emergency services. A risk prediction model was derived using a logistic regression analysis that included 15 predictors. Model performance was assessed using the concordance statistic (C-statistic) and the observed per expected (O/E) ratio. Internal validation of the model was performed using a 200-repetition bootstrap analysis. Results: Death occurred in 1.7% of the injured children (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.57–1.82). Ten predictors (i.e., age, airway intervention, physical injury mechanism, three injured body regions, the Glasgow Coma Scale, and three vital signs) were significantly associated with death. The C-statistic and the O/E ratio were 0.938 (95% CI: 0.929–0.947) and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.70–1.02), respectively. The scoring scheme classified three risk stratifications with respective likelihood ratios of 1.26 (95% CI: 1.25–1.27), 2.45 (95% CI: 2.42–2.52), and 4.72 (95% CI: 4.57–4.88) for low, intermediate, and high risks of death. Internal validation showed good model performance (C-statistic = 0.938, 95% CI: 0.926–0.952) and a small calibration bias of 0.002 (95% CI: 0.0005–0.003). Conclusions: We developed a simplified Thai pediatric injury death prediction score with satisfactory calibrated and discriminative performance in emergency room settings.Publication Open Access CD2068 potentially mediates multidrug efflux in Clostridium difficile(2017) Chawalit Ngernsombat; Suthasinee Sreesai; Phurt Harnvoravongchai; Surang Chankhamhaengdecha; Tavan Janvilisri; Mahidol University. Faculty of Science. Department of Biochemistry; Mahidol University. Faculty of Science. Department of BiologyClostridium difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and the treatment thereof becomes more difficult owing to a rise of multidrug resistant strains. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are known to play a crucial role... in the resistance to multiple antibiotics. In this study, the potential contribution of an ABC transporter in C. difficile multidrug resistance was investigated. The expression level of the cd2068 gene in C. difficile encoding an ABC transporter was up-regulatedPublication Open Access Response to road traffic injuries: a survey of Royal Thai Traffic Police in a Northeastern Province of Thailand(2017) Bijaya Shrestha; Oranut Pacheun; Chaweewon Boonshuyar; Manash Shrestha; Mahidol University.
