Health Behaviours and Experiences With Health Care Systems Among Thai Immigrants: A Scoping Review

The health behaviours and health care experiences of Thai immigrants are relevant in the context of growing global migration, as they navigate health care systems across their origin and host countries. While numerous studies have examined these issues, existing evidence remains...

Dosimetric comparison and delivery accuracy between DCAT and VMAT for stereotactic body radiotherapy using the deep inspiration breath-hold technique in liver cancer

Abstract Purpose: To compare plan quality and delivery accuracy between Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and 3-dimensional Dynamic Conformal Arc Therapy (DCAT) for liver stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) using deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH). Methods: Fifteen SBRT...

Egg Drop Problems: They Are All They Are Cracked Up to Be!

We illustrate how to invite and excite students about research by exploring higher-dimensional generalizations of the classical egg drop problem, in which the goal is to locate a breaking point using the fewest number of trials. Beginning with the one-dimensional case, we prove t...

Surface-guided radiotherapy reduces residual setup errors in abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy

Abstract Introduction Achieving high setup accuracy is critical in modern radiotherapy, particularly with advanced techniques such as IMRT and VMAT. Surface-Guided Radiotherapy (SGRT) has been introduced to assist patient positioning and enhance setup reproducibility. This study...

Mass Spectrometry-BasedProfiling of PersonalizedImmunopeptidomes in Thai Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract This study profiles the personalized immunopeptidomes of 13 Thai patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), addressing a critical knowledge gap in Southeast Asian populations characterized by distinct HLA allele distributions. We combined whole-exome sequencing (WES)–base...

Comparison of salivary fluoride levels following the application of rice-based and commercial fluoride gels: a randomized crossover trial

Salivary fluoride concentration is commonly used as an indicator of short-term fluoride exposure and clearance following topical fluoride application. Rice-based fluoride gels, formulated as rice-starch-HEC hybrid gels, may serve as alternative delivery systems; however, data reg...

First-Principles Study of Cs2TlCoX6 (X = I, Br): Structural Stability, Electronic, Elastic, and Optoelectronic Properties

Abstract In this study, density functional theory (DFT) is employed to investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of the double perovskites Cs2TlCoX6 (X = I, Br). The crystal structures of these materials are optimized to evaluate their structural stability. T...

The Knowledge-to-Practice Gap in Safe Lifting and Biomechanical Risks as Determinants of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Manual Material Handling

This study investigated the complex interfaces between knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP); biomechanical risks; and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among heavy manual handling workers. A cross-sectional study surveyed 99 industrial manual lifting workers within manufacturing...

Mucuna pruriens var. pruriens Ethanolic Seed Extract Enhances Erectile Function-Related Mechanisms: Integrated In Vitro and In Vivo Evidence

Mucuna pruriens (Linn.) DC. var. pruriens is used as a traditional medication to enhance male sexual function, yet integrated evidence linking vascular-cell mechanisms to in vivo efficacy and safety of a standardized extract remains limited. This study evaluated the ethanolic see...

Laboratory Concordance and Prognostic Impact of 10‐Color Flow Cytometry and Next‐Generation Sequencing‐Based Immunoglobulin Gene Assay for Measurable Residual Disease Monitoring in Adult B‐Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Multicenter Study From Thai Acute Leukemia Working Group ( TALWG )

ABSTRACT Aims Measurable residual disease (MRD) is a key prognostic marker for patient survival. This study evaluated concordance between 10‐color flow cytometry and next‐generation sequencing (NGS)–based immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene assays for MRD detection and to asses...

Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Bone-Remodeling Modulatory Activities of Thai Pigmented and Non-Pigmented Rice Bran Oils Containing Tocols and γ-Oryzanol

Rice bran oil (RBO) is a rich source of lipophilic bioactive compounds that may contribute to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and bone-health-promoting activities. This study investigated the effects of RBOs containing tocopherols, tocotrienols, and γ-oryzanol derived from Thai p...

Application Analysis of Swarm Control Technology in Orchard Agricultural Production

Swarm control technology, leveraging artificial intelligence algorithms to coordinate multiple devices, offers an effective solution for developing precision and intelligent operation systems in orchard management. This paper focuses on the core technologies underpinning swarm co...

Optimized Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction Enhances the Recovery of Anti-Collagenase Phytochemicals from Mitragyna speciosa Korth. Leaves

Mitragyna speciosa Korth. (Kratom) is a plant native to Southeast Asia, traditionally used for its stimulant and analgesic properties. Beyond mitragynine, the principal alkaloid dominating M. speciosa research, this study explored the cosmeceutical and nutraceutical potential of...
