For patients with intermediate likelihood and high likelihood of having choledocholithiasis, as calculated from their predictive factors (33 and 45), radial EUS was positive for choledocholithiasis in 51.5% (17/33) and 46.7% (21/45), and ERCP was positive... for choledocholithiasis in 54.5% (18/33) and 48.9% (22/45), respectively. Conclusion: Predictive factors, for both the intermediate and high likelihood groups, were not accurate to diagnose these patients. EUS is a good diagnostic tool and should be performed in bothPublication Metadata only A DNA-sequence based phylogeny for triculine snails (Gastropoda: Pomatiopsidae: Triculinae), intermediate hosts for Schistosoma (Trematoda: Digenea): Phylogeography and the origin of Neotricula(2004-01-01) S.

Southgate; The Natural History Museum, London; Mahidol University; Kunming Institute of Zoology Chinese Academy of Sciences; Yunnan Universityand the Dianchi taxa transmit Schistosoma in nature; N. aperta and O. h. robertsoni transmit Schistosoma to humans. The data were used to estimate phylogenies using the maximum likelihood method, a Bayesian method, and the maximum parsimony method. The paper aims... congruence was found between the phylogenies estimated by the three methods for both the 16S and 28S loci. However, poor congruence was found between the phylogenies based on the 16S and 28S data when the maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods were usedPublication Metadata only Expert classification for age class identification of oil palm plantation in Krabi Province, Thailand(2005-12-01) Jarunya Kitiphaisannon; Sura Pattanakiat; Charlie Navanugraha; Prasong Sanguantham; Mahidol University; Kasetsart University), and Advance Vegetation Index (AVI). These equations are used to define age class stage of oil palm plantation which can be divided into 4 classes: Young stage (1-3 years old), Intermediate stage (4-10 years old), Productive stage (11-20 years old), and Mature... stage (more than 20 years old). The percentages of accuracy for each class using expert classification are 92.19, 50.88, 80.00, and 12.50 respectively. Meanwhile, the percentages of accuracy for maximum likelihood classification are 90.63, 42.11, 40Publication Metadata only Genetic characterization of Angiostrongylus larvae and their intermediate host, Achatina fulica, in Thailand(2019-01-01) Abdulhakam Dumidae; Pichamon Janthu; Chanakan Subkrasae; Paron Dekumyoy; Aunchalee Thanwisai; Apichat Vitta; Naresuan University; Mahidol Universityare credited. Angiostrongyliasis is a parasitic disease caused by nematodes of the genus Angiostrongylus. Distribution of this worm corresponds to the dispersal of its main intermediate host, the giant African land snail Achatina fulica. Genetic... from 22 provinces across six regions of Thailand between May 2017 and July 2018. Artificial digestion and Baermann’s technique were employed to isolate Angiostrongylus larvae. The worm and its intermediate host were identified by sequencingPublication Metadata only Fasciola gigantica, F. Hepatica and Fasciola intermediate forms: Geometric morphometrics and an artificial neural network to help morphological identification(2020-01-01) Suchada Sumruayphol; Praphaiphat Siribat; Jean Pierre Dujardin; Sébastien Dujardin; Chalit Komalamisra; Urusa Thaenkham; Université de Montpellier; Mahidol UniversityCopyright 2020 Sumruayphol et al. Background. Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica cause fascioliasis in both humans and livestock. Some adult specimens of Fasciola sp. referred to as ‘‘intermediate forms’’ based on their genetic traits, are also... methods of morphometrics, including landmark-based and outline-based approaches, could bring to solving the problem of the non-molecular identification of these parasites.

The scores of 4-5, 6-8, 9-11, and 12 correspond to low, intermediate-low, intermediate-high, and high probabilities of CKD with the likelihood ratio positive (LR + ) of 1, 2.5 (95% CI: 2.2-2.7), 4Publication Metadata only Risk prediction score for death of traumatised and injured children(2014-02-28) Sakda Arj ong Vallipakorn; Adisak Plitapolkarnpim; Paibul Suriyawongpaisal; Pimpa Techakamolsuk; Gary A.

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: 0Publication Metadata only Genetic analysis of Cryptozona siamensis (Stylommatophora, Ariophantidae) populations in Thailand using the mitochondrial 16S rRNA and COI sequences(2020-09-01) Abdulhakam Dumidae; Pichamon Janthu; Chanakan Subkrasae; Wilawan Pumidonming; Paron Dekumyoy; Aunchalee Thanwisai; Apichat Vitta; Naresuan University; Mahidol University© 2020 Dumidae et al. Cryptozona siamensis, one of the most widespread land snails, is native to Thailand, and plays a key role as an agricultural pest and intermediate host for Angiostrongylus spp. However, its genetic diversity and population... randomly collected from 17 locations in four populations across Thailand, between May 2017 and July 2018.
