Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital. Department of OphthalmologyBackground: Report of three patients with pseudophakic angle-closure from a Soemmering ring. Three mechanisms of the Soemmering ring induced pseudophakic angle-closure in three patients were demonstrated by meticulous anterior segment examinationPublication Open Access ประสิทธิผลของโปรแกรมการวางแผนจำหน่ายแบบผู้ป่วยนอกต่อความวิตกกังวลและความสามารถในการปฏิบัติกิจวัตรประจำวันในผู้ป่วยที่เข้ารับการผ่าตัดต้อกระจก(2559) เบญจวรรณ พวงเพชร; Benjawan Puangpech; อุษาวดี อัศดรวิเศษ; Usavadee Asdornwised; วันเพ็ญ ภิญโญภาสกุล; Wanpen Pinyopasakul; กนกรัตน์ พรพาณิชย์; Kanograt Pornpanich; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. คณะพยาบาลศาสตร์; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. คณะแพทยศาสตร์ศิริราชพยาบาลPurpose: To investigate the effects of the same-day surgery discharge planning program on anxiety and activities in daily living of patients undergoing cataract surgery. Design: Experimental design. Methods: The samples consisted of patients... included the same-day surgery discharge planning program, discharge assessment form, and a manual of patient education for patients undergoing same day cataract surgery. Data were collected by using a demographic characteristics questionnaire, an anxietyPublication Open Access Phenotypic characterizations and genetic study of progressive rod-cone degeneration in poodles in Thailand(2014) Metita Sussadee; Janjira Phavaphutanon; Chaiyan Kasorndorkbua; Areerat Kongcharoen; Preenun Jitasombuti; Sudtisa Laopiem; Aree Thayananuphat; Mahidol University. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Veterinary Teaching HospitalProgressive rod-cone degeneration (PRCD) is one of several groups of inherited progressive retinal atrophy in dogs. This study aims to describe the characterization of phenotypic appearance and demonstrate the responsible gene mutation, including analysis of the allele frequency of PRCD in Poodle dogs in Thailand. All 10 Poodles with clinical signs of PRCD were identified by a history of progressive vision loss, an abnormal obstacle test, and fundic appearance. Genetic testing of PRCD gene mutation using the Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism technique was performed in all dogs. The result confirmed that all 10 dogs were affected. The affected Poodles had presented age at first examination at 8.9 ± 2.33 years. Typical findings of retinal changes were bilateral retinal degeneration with tapetal hyperreflectivity, retinal vessel attenuation and optic disc atrophy. The electroretinogram from 7 affected dogs revealed non-detectable wave amplitude and implicit time in the session of rod responses in all dogs whereas small wave amplitude of cone response was recorded in 4 dogs. Histopathological examination of an affected eye revealed the collapse of the nuclear and photoreceptor layers. A prevalence of carriers in 50 Poodles was 12% while the allele frequency of mutant allele was 0.1. Genetic finding of PRCD in Poodles in Thailand corresponds to the previous report whereas the age onset of dogs presented from this disease and the age at complete blindness are much later than previously reported.Publication Open Access Subjective illness experiences of open-heart surgery patients in the Thai cultural context(2013-07) Kingkeaw Kwankhao; Pimpawan Boonmongkol; Kanokwan Tharawan; กนกวรรณ ธราวรรณ; Penchan Sherer; Chai Podhisita; Mahidol University. Institute for Population and Social ResearchThis qualitative case study investigates the illness experiences of patients who underwent open-heart surgery in the Thai cultural context. The study site was a central hospital in the Eastern region of Thailand. Data were primarily collected... by narrative interviews with seven patients who had open-heart surgery under varied circumstances. Narrative analysis was used to analyze the data. The key findings are: 1) the subjective illness experiences of the patients before and during the open-heartPublication Open Access Activities of daily living associated with acquisition of melioidosis in northeast Thailand: a matched case-control study(2013-02) Direk Limmathurotsakul; ดิเรก ลิ้มมธุรสกุล; Manas Kanoksil; Vanaporn Wuthiekanun; วรรณพร วุฒิเอกอนันต์; Rungrueng Kitphati; Stavola, Bianca de; Day, Nicholas P.J.; Peacock, Sharon J.; Direk Limmathurotsakul; Mahidol University.

Cases were patients with culture-confirmed melioidosis, and controls were patients admitted with non-infectious conditions during the same period, matched for gender, agePublication Open Access Ethnoveterinary medicine based on Ayurveda plants(2012) Sookruetai Boonmasawai; Mahidol University. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Department of Pre-clinic and Applied Animal ScienceTraditional plants used for medicine exist for several thousand years ago in India to solve human health problems. The Ayurveda concept involved in the balancing of five basic elements including earth, water, fire, air, and space (ether) because of various active ingredients in remedies. Nowadays, traditional plant uses in veterinary medicine in many regions have been documented and reported such as in Spain, Italy, Argentina, Brazil and Kenya. Catharanthus roseus (Apocynaceae) is an important medicinal plant containing vincristine used in veterinary medicine for treatment of canine transmissible venereal tumor and canine lymphoma. Additional evidences in China showed that Salacia oblonga root in Ayurvedic recipe was able to ameliorate hypertriglyceridemia and excessive ectopic fat accumulation in laying hens. Moreover, crude extract from Terminalia arjuna L. (Combretaceae) bark decreased blood pressure in anaesthetized dogs. However, World Health Organization (WHO) recently focuses in standardization, safety and efficacy of Ayurveda medicine to establish this herbal medicine system. Ayurveda in veterinary medicine still need further clinical research to provide more clear, comprehensive, and practical pharmacological information to improve constantly therapeutic qualities.
