Prevalence, severity and factors associated with dental fluorosis among children aged 8-10 years in bangkok, thailand.
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with dental fluorosis in permanent incisors among children aged 8-10 years in Bangkok, Thailand. We studied 707 children selected by stratified randomization and examined each of them to determine their Dean’s fluorosis index. Parents of the studied children were asked to fill out a questionnaire. The study was conducted from July to October 2014. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to study the association between various factors and fluorosis among study subjects. Dental fluorosis was found in 18.4% of subjects. Sixteen p...

Ambient pm ₁₀ and pm₂.₅ concentrations at different high traffic-related street configurations in bangkok, thailand.
This study investigated the potential exposure levels of PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ at two different road configuration sites in Bangkok, Thailand: covered and open roadside areas. One hundred samples were collected together with the meteorological data: temperature, relative humidity, wind speeds, and solar radiation. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the relationships between these factors, and PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ levels at different roadside areas. The PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ levels at the covered area were 1.72 and 1.60 times more than those levels at open area were. The mean levels were found to be 154.59 an...

Pfmdr1 polymorphisms influence on in vitro sensitivity of thai plasmodium falciparum isolates to primaquine, sitamaquine and tafenoquine.
This study compared in vitro sensitivity of Thai P. falciparum isolates against three 8-aminoquinolines, PQ, TQ and sitamaquine (SQ), a related 8-aminoquinoline and assessed the importance of pfmdr1 polymorphism on the in vitro response. Seventy-eight laboratory adapted Thai P. falciparum isolates were evaluated for in vitro sensitivity to the three 8-aminoquinolines using a radioisotopic assay, and pfmdr1 polymorphisms were determined using PCR-based methods. All three drugs have weak antiplasmodial activity against asexual erythrocytic stage with SQ being the most potent by almost 10 folds. Cross susceptibility was obser...

Phylogeny of angiostrongylus cantonensis in thailand based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit i gene sequence.
This study surveyed A. cantonensis larvae prevalence in natural intermediate hosts across Thailand and analyzed their phylogenetic relationships. A total of 14,032 freshwater and land snails were collected from 19 provinces of Thailand. None of Filopaludina sp, Pomacea sp, and Cyclophorus sp were infected with Angiostrongylus larvae, whereas Achatina fulica, Cryptozona siamensis, and Megaustenia siamensis collected from Kalasin, Kamphaeng Phet, Phetchabun, Phitsanulok, and Tak Provinces were infected, with C. siamensis being the common intermediate host. Based on morphology, larvae isolated from 11 samples of these natural...
