A Comparison of Accuracy of Planar and Evolution SPECT/CT Bone Imaging in Differentiating Benign from Metastatic Bone Lesions.
Conclusion: Differentiation of benign and metastatic lesions by Evolution SPECT/CT images has superior diagnostic performance and diagnostic confidence over the planar scintigraphy. Thus, Evolution SPECT/CT images should be considered in characterization of indeterminate lesions on planar scintigraphy, especially in the axial skeleton.

Comparative Trial of Silver Nanoparticle Gel and 1% Clindamycin Gel when Use in Combination with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide in Patients with Moderate Acne Vulgaris.
Conclusion: Silver nanoparticle gel is effective with good safety profile for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The present study demonstrated that there were no clinical significant differences between silver nanoparticle gel and clindamycin gel for the treatment of moderate severity of acne vulgaris when use in combination with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. The clinical application as alternative treatment for acne is advised. PMID: 29911775 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet)

The Comparative Study of Topical Therapy on Striae Alba between a Herbal Extract Cream and 0.1% Tretinoin Cream in Adolescence.
Conclusion: The herbal extract cream is as effective as 0.1% tretinoin cream in the treatment of striae alba. As tretinoin can cause skin irritation, the herbal extract can be a better alternative treatment.

Predicting Factors for Failure of Percutaneous Drainage of Postoperative Intra-Abdominal Collection.
Conclusion: Image-guided PD of postoperative intra-abdominal collection was found to be a safe and effective procedure with few complications. Initial recognition of biliary fistula in the collection at subhepatic region or in patients underwent hepatobiliary surgery was the important prognostic factor for unsuccessful PD. These patients may be more beneficial for initial surgical drainage. PMID: 29911778 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet)

A Comparison between Modified Robert Jones Bandage and Intermittent Cold Pack in Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Conclusion: Intermittent cold pack has not demonstrated the benefit of pain reduction or morphine usage when compared to the modified Robert Jones bandage, but it had significantly less knee swelling, a significantly higher patient’s satisfaction and trend to have better functional outcome. We recommend intermittent cold pack for postoperative care in ACLR. PMID: 29911785 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet)
