Item Metadata only The Relationship Between Socioecological Factors and Resilience Among Urban Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic(2025-11-01) Onkhamsee P.; Tantiprasoplap S.; Sanongdej W.; Onkhamsee P.; Mahidol Universityand individual mental health than on community resilience. The results of this study will serve as a foundation for guiding community nurses in the design and implementation of interventions aimed at promoting mental health among working-age individualsPublication Metadata only A small absorbable stent for treatment of anterior glottic web(2012-03-01) Thongchai Bhongmakapat; Kanjalak Kantapasuantara; Phurich Praneevatakul; Mahidol UniversityA new one-stage approach for treatment of selected anterior glottic web has been successful. This case report illustrates its simplicity in microlaryngoscopy with complete lysis of the anterior glottic web by CO 2 laser. Then a small neck horizontal incision is made at the level of anterior commissure to gain exposure to thyroid cartilage. Absorbable suture is passed through the midline of thyroid cartilage below and above the anterior commissure. A knot is tied over thyroid ala. The suture acts as a tiny stent to prevent recurrence of the web. © 2012 The Voice Foundation.Item Metadata only Effectiveness of Arm Swing Exercise on Comprehensive Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(2025-09-01) Whaikid P.; Piaseu N.; Whaikid P.; Mahidol UniversityBackground: Arm swing exercise (ASE) is a simple and accessible form of physical activity that has been reported to reduce disease risk and enhance overall health across various populations. In alignment with the World Health Organization’s... recommendations for promoting physical activity, ASE requires no specialized equipment or professional supervision. However, systematic evidence on its health benefits remains limited. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectsItem Metadata only Association Between Vitamin D Status and Voice Features in the Thai National Health Examination Survey(2025-01-01) Ongphiphadhanakul B.; Aekplakorn W.; Suppakitjanusant P.; Ongphiphadhanakul B.; Chailurkit L.o.; Kasemkosin N.; Ongphiphadhanakul B.; Mahidol Universityinvestigated the relationship between vitamin D and voice parameters using the Extended Geneva Acoustic Parameter Set (eGeMAPs) in a randomly selected subpopulation (n = 480) of the Thai National Health Examination Survey. Methods: The /a/ voice samplesItem Metadata only Sex Estimation Using Radiographic Films of the Frontal Sinuses in Thai Populations(2024-07-01) Ngamnusonkit B.; Vachirawongsakorn V.; Ngamnusonkit B.; Mahidol UniversityOBJECTIVE This study aims to determine the forensic importance and applicability of the frontal sinus by evaluating its morphoscopic and morphometric characteristics in relation to sex. METHODS Antero-posterior skull radiographs of 235 individuals (141 males and 94 females) were taken using a standardized procedure. Frontal sinus morphology was observed and classified. Specific measurements (A to D) were conducted to estimate sex by developing logistic regression equations. RESULTS Frontal sinus symmetry was detected in 58.7% of the individuals. Morphometric analyses of frontal sinuses were only moderately correlated with the sex, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.629 (measurement A). The recommended cut-off score of measurement A was 6.47 cm, in which the sensitivity and specificity were 78.7% and 59.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study found significant individual variation in the frontal sinus patterns. Evaluating the frontal sinus could be used as an adjunct to other methods of personal identification, particularly for sex estimation.Item Metadata only Estimation of Post-mortem Interval Based on Livor Mortis using a Colorimeter in Thai Populations(2024-04-01) Ngamloetphochit S.; Vachirawongsakorn V.; Ngamloetphochit S.; Mahidol UniversityOBJECTIVE Livor mortis is a helpful and widely used method of estimating postmortem interval (PMI) in Thailand. This study aimed to investigate the value of a colorimeter as a tool for estimating the PMI. METHODS The color of livor mortis and control skin in 80 cadavers whose PMI was within 12 hours was measured by a colorimeter. The L* (brightness), a*b* (chroma and hue), and ∆E* values were compared to the control skin values. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the relationship between PMI and skin color before and after application of a specific pressure. RESULTS The results showed that colorimetric parameters were only weakly correlated with the PMI. An univariable analysis of ∆E* values was performed and showed good discriminatory power, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.82. The recommended cut-off value of ∆E* was 14 for the discrimination between early PMI (less than 6 hours) and late PMI (6-12 hours), in which the sensitivity and specificity were 72.5% and 80%. CONCLUSIONS The findings in this study reinforce the utility of colorimetric measurements in PMI estimation. With additional study and a larger sample size, the estimation of PMI could be established for general use in forensic practice.Item Metadata only Competitive Sport and Quality of Life in Older Adults(2025-01-01) Bumrungpanictarworn A.; To-Aj O.; Chanbanchong N.; Udomphorn Y.; Khaosanit P.; Suksuwan C.; Bumrungpanictarworn A.; Mahidol UniversityThis study explores the impact of competitive sports on the quality of life in older adults, covering dimensions such as physical health, mental wellness, and social connectivity. It draws from the narratives of 30 older athletes who participated... sports, the long-term effects on overall health and wellness.Publication Metadata only Screening for psychological distress among a national sample of in-school adolescents in united arab emirates: Prevalence and associated factors(2021-01-01) Karl Peltzer; Supa Pengpid; University of Limpopo; Mahidol UniversityThe aim of the study was to assess psychological distress (PD) among adolescents in United Arab Emirates (UAE). In all, 5,849 school adolescents responded to questions on PD from the cross-sectional national UAE Global School-Based Student Health.... One in five students had PD and several factors associated with PD were discovered that can be targeted in school health promotion.Publication Metadata only Psychological distress among a national sample of school adolescents in tonga: Prevalence and correlates(2021-01-01) Supa Pengpid; Karl Peltzer; University of Limpopo; Mahidol UniversityThis investigation was to estimate the prevalence and correlates of psychological distress (PD) among adolescent school children in Tonga. Data from the nationally representative cross-sectional 2017 Tonga Global School-Based Student Health Survey... be used for school mental health promotion.Publication Metadata only Bullying victimization and psychological distress among a national sample of in-school adolescents in afghanistan(2021-01-01) Supa Pengpid; Karl Peltzer; University of Limpopo; Mahidol UniversityGlobal School-Based Health Survey (GSHS) in Afghanistan. The results indicate that past-month bullying victimization was 42.4%. In adjusted multi-nomial logistic regression analysis, psychological distress, low parental support, drug use (cannabis... reported bullying victimization and internalizing factors (psychological distress) and externalizing factors (drug use, interpersonal violence, and injury) were identified as associated factors that can assist in school health promotion strategies.
