Previous studies into Gitumon have primarily focused on its potential hepatoprotective, blood glucose-regulating, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the specific ingredients and preparation methods inherently influence its nutritional value. Aims: This study aimed to thoroughly characterize the nutrient content of Gitumon, including its energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and fiber composition, as well as the levels of key vitamins such as β-carotene and ascorbic acid, and minerals including iron and zinc. Furthermore, the study sought to quantify its curcumin content and assess its antioxidant activity. Methods: All analytical techniques and measurements adhered to the guidelines established by Chem-Mix Pratama Laboratory. Specifically, the gravimetric method was employed for ash and moisture determination; the Soxhlet technique for fat extraction; the Kjeldahl method for protein quantification; the by-difference method for carbohydrate estimation; and multi-enzyme complexes for fiber analysis. Total energy content was calculated using Atwater factors. Ascorbic acid levels were determined via iodometric titration. Iron, zinc, β-carotene, and curcumin concentrations were measured using spectrophotometry. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging assay, with results expressed as IC50 values. Descriptive statistical analysis techniques were applied to all generated data to identify the main features of the dataset. Results: In each 250 mL serving, all tested varieties of Gitumon provided over 100 kcal of energy. Gitumon samples also exhibited high concentrations of vitamin C (exceeding 100 mg/100 g), iron (greater than 3.6 mg/serving), and curcumin (above 20 mg/serving). Zinc levels were found to be below 10 mg/kg. Conversely, the concentrations of β-Carotene (less than 200 μg/100 g) and DPPH antioxidant scavenging activity (IC 50 value exceeding 100 ppm) were found to be negligible. Conclusions: Gitumon emerges as a noteworthy beverage with a remarkably high content of vitamin C, iron, zinc, and curcumin. Nevertheless, further antioxidant assays are necessary to evaluate and confirm the potential health benefits attributable to the substantial presence of curcumin in Gitumons.Item Metadata only Correlates of nursing standard infectious control for AIDS precautions through nursing intervention among professional nurses in Suratthani province(Mahidol University.

Methods: Period of observation: March 1st, 2020 March 1st, 2021. Inclusion criteria: patients included in the database since 2015 and still receiving HPN on March 1st, 2020 as well as new patients included in the database during the period of observation. Data related to the previous 12 months and recorded on March 1st 2021: 1) occurrence of COVID-19 infection since the beginning of the pandemic (yes, no, unknown); 2) infection severity (asymptomatic; mild, no-hospitalization; moderate, hospitalization no-ICU; severe, hospitalization in ICU); 3) vaccinated against COVID-19 (yes, no, unknown); 4) patient outcome on March 1st 2021: still on HPN, weaned off HPN, deceased, lost to follow up. Results: Sixty-eight centres from 23 countries included 4680 patients. Data on COVID-19 were available for 55.1% of patients. The cumulative incidence of infection was 9.6% in the total group and ranged from 0% to 21.9% in the cohorts of individual countries. Infection severity was reported as: asymptomatic 26.7%, mild 32.0%, moderate 36.0%, severe 5.3%. Vaccination status was unknown in 62.0% of patients, non-vaccinated 25.2%, vaccinated 12.8%. Patient outcome was reported as: still on HPN 78.6%, weaned off HPN 10.6%, deceased 9.7%, lost to follow up 1.1%. A higher incidence of infection (p = 0.04), greater severity of infection (p < 0.001) and a lower vaccination percentage (p = 0.01) were observed in deceased patients. In COVID-19 infected patients, deaths due to infection accounted for 42.8% of total deaths. Conclusions: In patients on HPN for CIF, the incidence of COVID-19 infection differed greatly among countries. Although the majority of cases were reported to be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms only, COVID-19 was reported to be fatal in a significant proportion of infected patients. Lack of vaccination was associated with a higher risk of death.Publication Metadata only An emergency medical service system in thailand: Providers’ perspectives(2014-01-01) Yuwares Sittichanbuncha; Thidathit Prachanukool; Prakit Sarathep; Kittisak Sawanyawisuth; Mahidol University; Khon Kaen Universitywere distributed and 425 were returned completed (94.4%).

Design: Descriptive correlation design. Methods: The sample composed of 300 patients with traumatic injuries in emergency department, Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. Data were collected from the patient’s hospital chart. Spearman’s Rho was employed to test the relationships among studies variables. Main findings: Approximately 60% of patients with traumatic injuries (59.7%) were admitted in hospital, while 35.4% received surgery and/or admitted to intensive care unit. About 40.3% received treatment and were discharged from emergency department to home. Physiological deterioration as measured by Modified Early Warning Score, age, and co-morbidity were positively correlated with emergency room discharge destination (rs = .38, rs = .14, rs = .16, p < .05). Conclusion and recommendations: Modified Early Warning Score should be used to classify trauma injuries patients on their arrival at the emergency department. Hence, the patients can receive appropriate treatment at the right time. Co-morbid diseases should be routinely assessed in all trauma injuries patients on arrival at the emergency room.Item Metadata only Thai Nurses’ Experiences of Providing Care in Overcrowded Emergency Rooms in Tertiary Hospitals(2022-07-01) Kongcheep S.; Mahidol University-urgent care, adding to overcrowding and inefficient use of resources.
