Publication Metadata only Evaluating the UVA protection of commercially available sunscreens.(1992-11-01) V. Leenutaphong; Mahidol UniversityBecause the protection factor of sunscreens concerns only UVB protection, usually only a little is known about the protection offered in the UVA range. Photoprotection against ultraviolet A (UVA) by five commercially available sunscreens... protection factor (1.02-1.9). The sunscreen which contain 3 per cent Parsol 1789 was the most effective product and significantly better than the other (p < 0.0001).Publication Metadata only Field evaluation of a spatial repellent emanation vest for personal protection against outdoor biting mosquitoes(2021-03-01) Chutipong Sukkanon; Rungarun Tisgratog; Vithee Muenworn; Michael J. Bangs; Jeffrey Hii; Theeraphap Chareonviriyaphap; PT Freeport Indonesia; Kasetsart University; James Cook University; Khon Kaen University; Mahidol UniversityExophilic vectors are an important contributor to residual malaria transmission. Wearable spatial repellents (SR) can potentially provide personal protection in early evening hours before people retire indoors. An SR prototype for passive delivery... of transfluthrin (TFT) for protecting humans against nocturnal mosquitoes in Kanchanaburi, western Thailand, is evaluated. A plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet (676 cm2) treated with 55-mg TFT (TFT-PET), attached to the back of short-sleeve vest wornItem Metadata only Lung- and Diaphragm-Protective Ventilation by Titrating Inspiratory Support to Diaphragm Effort: A Randomized Clinical Trial(2022-02-01) de Vries H.J.; Mahidol UniversityOBJECTIVES: Lung- and diaphragm-protective ventilation is a novel concept that aims to limit the detrimental effects of mechanical ventilation on the diaphragm while remaining within limits of lung-protective ventilation. The premise is that low... increases the time that patients have effort in a predefined “diaphragm-protective” range, without compromising lung-protective ventilation. DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial. SETTING: Mixed medical-surgical ICU in a tertiary academic hospitalPublication Metadata only Psychological factors associated with protected sex among indirect female sex workers in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia(2019-01-01) I. Gusti Ngurah Edi Putra; Dusita Phuengsamran; Aree Jampaklay; Panithee Thammawijaya; Pande Putu Januraga; Universitas Udayana; Flinders University; Thailand Ministry of Public Health; Mahidol University, Bali from August to October 2017 to investigate factors associated with protected sex with clients using the Health Belief Model (HBM) framework. The protected sex as a dependent variable was identified through self-reported consistency in using condoms.... The prevalence of protected sex with clients in last month was 50.17% (95%CI = 41.50–80.83). Indirect FSWs were more likely to use condoms consistently if they completed senior high school or higher. Meanwhile, those working in a karaoke lounge, bar, or café werePublication Metadata only Effectiveness of an intervention program to develop and enhance protective skills against game addiction among 4 th through 6 th grade students(2018-01-01) Punnapat Thana-Ariyapaisan; Chanvit Pornnoppadol; Suporn Apinuntavech; Patcharin Seree; Mahidol University; Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University© 2018, Medical Association of Thailand. All rights reserved. Background: A significant percentage of children in Thailand are addicted to computer-based (online or offline) games. Protective factors in children and adolescents may help guard... against or minimize the development of game addition. Objective: To study the effectiveness of an intervention program aimed at developing and enhancing protective skills against game addiction among 4 th through 6 th grade students in Bangkok, ThailandPublication Metadata only Protection of centrilobular necrosis by Curcuma comosa Roxb. in carbon tetrachloride-induced mice liver injury(2010-05-01) Jittima Weerachayaphorn; Aporn Chuncharunee; Surawat Jariyawat; Buarong Lewchalermwong; Sirirat Amonpatumrat; Apichart Suksamrarn; Pawinee Piyachaturawat; Mahidol University; Ramkhamhaeng UniversityAim of the study: To investigate the protective effect and possible mechanism of Curcuma comosa hexane extract on CCl4-induced liver injury in adult male mice. Materials and methods: Hepatotoxicity was induced by an intraperitoneal injection of CCl4... to CCl4 administration and the protection from liver injury was assessed. Results: CCl4-induced damage to liver cells was resulted in elevations of plasma ALT and AST activities. Pretreatment with Curcuma comosa hexane extract 24h at a dose of 100, 250Publication Metadata only Protective factors for caries of a school-based oral health program in Bangkok, Thailand: a retrospective cohort study(2020-10-01) N. Luksamijarulkul; S. Pongpanich; A. Panza; Chulalongkorn University; Mahidol University© 2020 The Royal Society for Public Health Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess protective factors of a school-based oral health preventive program on caries in permanent teeth in students and to identify other risk and protective factors... Health Organization index. Binary simple and multiple logistic regressions were performed to assess risk or protective factors with a P-value ≤0.05. Results: In 1st graders, the caries prevalence in deciduous teeth was 87.2%, and the mean decayed, missingPublication Metadata only Effect of endogenous androgens on 17β-estradiol-mediated protection after spinal cord injury in male rats(2010-03-01) Supatra Kachadroka; Alicia M. Hall; Tracy L. Niedzielko; Sukumal Chongthammakun; Candace L. Floyd; University of Alabama at Birmingham; Mahidol UniversitySeveral groups have recently shown that 17β-estradiol is protective in spinal cord injury (SCI). Testosterone can be aromatized to 17β-estradiol and may increase estrogen-mediated protection. Alternatively, testosterone has been shown to increase... excitotoxicity in models of central nervous system (CNS) injury. These experiments test the hypothesis that endogenous testosterone in male rats alters 17β-estradiol-mediated protection by evaluating a delayed administration over a clinically relevant dose rangePublication Metadata only Significant association between TIM1 promoter polymorphisms and protection against cerebral malaria in Thailand(2008-05-01) P. Nuchnoi; Japanjuno Ohashi; R. Kimura; H. Hananantachai; I. Naka; S. Krudsood; S. Looareesuwan; K. Tokunaga; J. Patarapotikul; Mahidol University; University of Tokyo, was significantly associated with protection against cerebral malaria (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.24-0.71; P = 0.0009). Allele-specific transcription quantification analysis revealed that the level of mRNA transcribed from TIM1 was higher for the protective promoter... haplotype than for the other promoter haplotype (P = 0.004). Engagement with TIM1 in combination with T cell receptor stimulation induces anti-inflammatory Th2 cytokine production, which can protect the development of cerebral malaria causedPublication Metadata only Plaque reduction neutralization antibody test does not accurately predict protection against dengue infection in Ratchaburi cohort, Thailand(2014-03-12) Chukiat Sirivichayakul; Arunee Sabchareon; Kriengsak Limkittikul; Sutee Yoksan; Mahidol UniversityBackground: The plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) is currently the best and most widely accepted approach to measuring virus-neutralizing and protective antibodies to dengue virus, and in assessing the immunogenicity of a dengue vaccine.... However, the correlation between presence of dengue-neutralizing antibody and protection from infection is not absolute. Findings. In a cohort study in Ratchaburi Province, Thailand, 48 subjects with serologically confirmed symptomatic dengue infection
