Association between early systolic blood pressure and clinical outcomes in non-critically ill patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury: a retrospective cohort study

Background Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is associated with poor outcomes. Evidence regarding the relationship between early systolic blood pressure (BP) and clinical outcomes in non-critically ill patients with SA-AKI remains limited. This study aimed to investi...

Environmental health literacy of local villagers in Northern Thailand with high seasonal PM 2.5 air pollution; a mixed method study

Seasonal PM2.5 air pollution remains a major public health challenge in northern Thailand. Environmental health literacy (EHL) may influence how communities understand pollution-related health risks and adopt protective behaviors; however, little is known about EHL among rural po...

Fixed Point Theorems for Orbital Contractions on Directed Graphs in JS-Metric Spaces with Applications

This paper introduces a novel fixed-point framework for orbital contractions within the setting of JS-metric spaces endowed with directed graphs. By relaxing conventional metric conditions and incorporating graph-theoretical structures, we define a new class of operators known as...

Rare WDR19 Variants in Patients With Dental and Retinal Anomalies

Genetic variants in WDR19 cause ciliopathies with craniofacial and ectodermal features, including dental and retinal anomalies. This study characterized the clinical and molecular features of patients with isolated dental anomalies harboring WDR19 variants. Clinical and radiograp...

Changes in alcohol-consumption frequency and factors associated with the magnitude of decreases during the COVID-19 pandemic: a nationally representative cross-sectional survey in Thailand

We described changes in alcohol-consumption frequency among current drinkers in Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic and examined factors associated with a larger decrease among those who reduced their drinking frequency. We analysed a nationally representative face-to-face cros...

How rural education affects farmers' integrated management of invasive insect pests?

Abstract BACKGROUND Rural education helps manage invasive insect pests (IIPs), but how it affects farmers' integrated IIP management remains unknown. We focused on the nationally concerning fall armyworm in China's main invasion area, developed a multidimensional integrated frame...

Sagittal aortic‐arch assessment for prenatal diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta: comparative evaluation of 10 published methods and a new predictive model

ABSTRACT Objectives To externally validate the diagnostic performance of 10 previously published fetal echocardiographic sagittal aortic‐arch parameters and to develop an optimal predictive model based on these parameters for the prenatal identification of neonatal coarctation of...

Therapeutic hypercapnia after cardiac arrest: still promising or time to move on?

Abstract Post-cardiac arrest care remains challenging, with persistently poor neurological and survival outcomes. Accordingly, novel adjunctive interventions are needed. While maintaining normocapnia is the current standard, hypercapnia has been proposed as a potential interventi...

Why rural places matter for regional economic resilience: Insights from agritourism in Northern Thailand

Research on regional economic resilience has predominantly focused on urban contexts in Europe. This study extends the empirical foundation by examining rural agritourism resilience during the COVID‐19 pandemic in rural Chiang Mai, Thailand. Employing an evolutionary economic geo...

From Perception to Purchase Intention: Understanding Kombucha Consumption Through a Mediated–Moderated Behavioral Framework with Consumer and Entrepreneurial Insights

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing kombucha purchase intention among online consumers in Northern Thailand by addressing the “perception–execution gap” between consumer preferences and entrepreneurial logistics and green supply chain practices in the rapidly g...

Ballistic Resistance of Fiber-Reinforced Cement Composite: A Critical Review

This review examines the ballistic resistance of fiber-reinforced cement composites (FRCs) and related cementitious systems for protective structures, with emphasis on projectile–target interaction, penetration and scabbing mechanisms, and the governing roles of material and stru...

Optimization of Selenium Fortification and Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Bioactive Selenium-Polysaccharide Fractions from Germinated Oats (Avena sativa)

Oats are a rich source of bioactive polysaccharides, particularly β-glucan, while selenium is an essential trace element involved in various physiological functions. This study investigated the effects of sodium selenite supplementation during oat germination on selenium accumula...

Chemopreventive effect of arachidin-rich extract from peanut hairy root cultures on inflammation-induced cholangiocarcinogenesis in a cytokine-treated biliary cell model

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly prevalent malignancy in Southeast Asia and is strongly associated with chronic biliary inflammation. Preventive strategies targeting early inflammation-driven carcinogenic events are therefore of great interest. Arachidin-rich extracts derived...

Baseline Detection of Honey Bee Viruses and Nosema ceranae in Apis Species from Cambodia and Laos

Honey bees provide essential pollination services in natural and agricultural ecosystems, yet little is known about honey bee-associated pathogens in Cambodia and Laos. Here, we screened 53 colonies from 10 sites, including Apis cerana (n = 28), A. mellifera (n = 18), A. dorsata...

Molecular and functional responses of milk-derived polymorphonuclear neutrophils from subclinical mastitis quarters to β-hydroxybutyric acid at the subclinical ketosis threshold in vitro

Subclinical ketosis (SCK), a prevalent metabolic disorder in dairy cattle characterized by elevated β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) levels without clinical signs, is linked to increased susceptibility to postpartum infections such as mastitis. During mammary inflammation, circulatin...

Bone mineral density and hip structural analysis in postmenopausal Thai women: a cross-sectional study

Hip Structural Analysis (HSA) provides information on proximal femoral geometry beyond conventional bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. However, data regarding bilateral hip geometry and its clinical correlates in Southeast Asian postmenopausal women remain limited. This stu...

Perspectives on the modification of electrodes by polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) for electroanalysis

Extreme molecular rigidity in the polymer backbone introduces new properties in polymer films or coatings in contact with solution, electrodes, and embedded catalysts. Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) with highly rigid molecular structures have initially emerged as gas...
