Determination Of Antibiotic Resistance Prototype And In Vitro R Plasmid Conjugation Of Escherichia Coli Isolates From Broiler Feces, Adnan Amin, Muhammad Ayaz Khan, Uzma Haroon, Sheikh Muhammad Farooq Azam, Saadia Andaleeb, Pir Bux Ghumro

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The objective of the present investigation was to ascertain the prevalence of antibiotic resistance amongst E. coli strains obtained from broiler chicken in two different poultry farms against antibiotics that have a limited or no use in poultry and to advocate a probable mechanism of antibiotic resistance transfer between strains. A high resistance rate was seen against azteronam (100%), streptomycin (88-92%) followed by amoxicillin (68-76%), ceftrioxone (60-68%) and cefepime (56-68%). However reasonably lower levels of resistance were seen towards coamoxiclave (40%), ciprofloxacin (24-28%), and ofloxacin (36-40%). Meropenem emerged as least resistant (16-28%) antimicrobial agent. Likewise, virtually entire sum of isolates …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Mosquito distribution and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection were studied in a bat cave and its surrounding area in Lopburi province, central Thailand. Mosquitoes were collected from May 2009 to April 2010 by using CO2-baited CDC-light traps, and dry ice as a source of CO2 to attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes were identified and tested for JEV infection by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Five genera of mosquitoes collected from the bat cave include Aedes, Anopheles, Armigeres, Culex and Uranotaenia, and eight genera of mosquitoes collected from the area close to the bat cave include Aedes, Aedeomyia, Anopheles, Armigeres, Coquillettidia, …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Streptococcal infection is a major problem in intensive tilapia farming. This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial activity of mucilage, distilled water- and 70% methanol-crude extract from Butea superba Roxb. against Streptococcal bacteria. The antimicrobial activity using disc diffusion assay showed that B. superba Roxb. had a broad antimicrobial range against twelve isolates of streptococcal bacteria: Streptococcus iniae (n=2) and Streptococcus agalactiae (n=10). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the 70% methanol-crude extract varied between 128 and 512 µg/ml depending on the tested streptococcal strains. Mucilage has a higher potency in the inhibition of streptococcal bacteria when compared with …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Bats are the reservoir hosts for several Paramyxoviruses including two serious zoonotic viruses, Hendra virus and Nipah virus which are responsible for fatal infections in animals and humans. These two viruses are sufficiently different from previously described Paramyxoviruses and are included in a new genus, Henipavirus. We report here a survey of cave-dwelling, insectivorous bats in Thailand for the presence of henipaviruses. Pooled urine samples were collected in nine caves inhabited by six different bat species in the northern (Chiangmai and Nakornsawan) and southern (Songkla and Satoon) provinces of Thailand. A reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) assay using henipavirus-specific primers derived …

Forensic Aspects Of Injuries Resulting From Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, W. Charaschaisri Jan 2012

Forensic Aspects Of Injuries Resulting From Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, W. Charaschaisri

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

In 1960, Kouwenhoven observed that forceful compressions on the chest could produce an arterial pulse. Over the following years, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) became continuously advanced. Currently, experts at the conference on International Guidelines 2010 strongly recommend development of in-school CPR programs as a primary educational strategy to ensure wide-spread learning of CPR. During CPR the physician always gives priority to dealing with the life-threatening condition first. While CPR can save lives, it may also expose a high risk of injury to the patient. As a result, forensic pathologists often find CPR-related injuries during autopsies that are unrelated to the patients' …

Esophageal Necrosis After Resection Of Descending Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm: A Case Of Successful Treatment, K Luengtaviboon, W. Sindhvananda Jan 2012

Esophageal Necrosis After Resection Of Descending Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm: A Case Of Successful Treatment, K Luengtaviboon, W. Sindhvananda

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

Esophageal necrosis is a rare complication of treatment of the descending thoracic or thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm. It is almost always fatal. Sepsis and bleeding secondary to dehiscence of the aortic- graft suture line are main mechanisms of death. However, these patients can be saved by aggressive medical and surgical treatment. A 40-year-old male was transferred to this hospital because of severe epigastric pain secondary to concealed rupture of a descending aortic aneurysm. Urgent aneurysmectomy and bypass graft was done using "clamp-and-go technique". He was in septic conditions approximately a week later. An abscess around the graft was confirmed by CT …

Surgical And Anesthetic Managements Of An Adult Patient With A Giant Mediastinal Mass, W Sindhvananda, K. Luengtaviboon

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

A 22-year-old male with a giant anterior mediastinal mass underwent general anesthesia and tumor removal through Clamshell incision. The mass (approximately 4 kg) that occupied the plural cavity with retarded venous drainage of the chest caused the symptoms and signs of SVC obstruction. Due to no sign of upper thoracic airway obstruction, the operation plan was not included CPB standby. Anesthesia in this case was difficult from the beginning. However, it was smoothed out with subsequent intravenous thiopental induction, followed by atracurium and sevoflurane in maintenance of the anesthesia. During the operation, accidental tear of the right atrium occurred; controls …

Identification Of Forensically Important Blowflies In Thailand Based On The Second Internal Transcribed Spacer Region Of Ribosomal Dna And The Nadh Dehydrogenase Subunit 5 Gene, R Jantorn, P Siriyasatien, A Tawatsin, U Thavara, K. Preativatanyou Jan 2012

Identification Of Forensically Important Blowflies In Thailand Based On The Second Internal Transcribed Spacer Region Of Ribosomal Dna And The Nadh Dehydrogenase Subunit 5 Gene, R Jantorn, P Siriyasatien, A Tawatsin, U Thavara, K. Preativatanyou

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

Problem/Background: Estimation of postmortem interval (PMI) is essential for supporting justice especially in legal cases. At early stage of death, the PMI can be evaluated using data from physical changes of the corpses. In case of the corpses that have died more than 48 hours, the physical change may be less accurate for prediction. The species identification of blowflies, early found on corpses, as well as the specific developmental stage are required for PMI estimation. However, it is not yet practical for morphological identification. To surpass these problems, DNAbased identification is preferentially applied.


Development Of Resin Monomers In Resin Composites, Apiruck Kittichaisri, Charuphan Oonsombat, Chaiyasri Thunpithayakul Jan 2012

Development Of Resin Monomers In Resin Composites, Apiruck Kittichaisri, Charuphan Oonsombat, Chaiyasri Thunpithayakul

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

In 1956, resin composites have been introduced as restorative material in dentistry. Manufacturers have been working on the development of new resin composite by modifying filler particles and resin matrix. Although recent resin composites have been developed for clinical used, the polymerization shrinkage is remained. The shrinkage is an intrinsic property of the methacrylate resin matrix, which results in dimensional change during polymerization. Recently, non-methacrylate resin matrix has been developed to overcome the polymerization shrinkage problem.
