Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Objective Masticatory efficiency play a major role in the digestive system which directly affects physical health. Therefore, evaluation of masticatory efficiency is very important, especially patients wearing dentures. Masticatory ability is an individual judgement of his or her masticatory function. Masticatory performance is the capacity to reduce size of food when chewed for given strokes of chewing before swallowing. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome between the masticatory ability and masticatory performance in the elderly patients wearing dentures in evaluating the masticatory efficiency. Material and methods 62 elderly patients wearing complete dentures (CD) or removeable partial …

Inactivation Of Picornaviruses And Caliciviruses; Part 2: Inactivation, Suphachai Nuanualsuwan, Dean O. Cliver Sep 2003

Inactivation Of Picornaviruses And Caliciviruses; Part 2: Inactivation, Suphachai Nuanualsuwan, Dean O. Cliver

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The prevention of human fecal contamination of food and water is an effective measure to control the transmission of foodborne disease viruses e.g. hepatitis A virus (HAV) and calicivirus found in food chains and water systems. If the prevention of virus contamination is not successful, one of the most common critical control points in the food industry is the inactivation of viruses that contaminate the food or water. The objective of inactivation is to modify the virus or make it abort in the next replicative cycle. The efficiency of inactivating agents is measured by the plots of "logarithmic scale of …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Hemineglect is a common symptom and sign in patients with right hemisphere lesion. These patients usually have problems of reduced awareness of stimuli from left side. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between presence of hemineglect and functional disability in patients with right hemispheric stroke or traumatic brain injury. Forty patients who were diagnosed as right hemispheric stroke or traumatic brain injury as verified by computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance image participated in the study. Based on the criteria on Schekenberg test (line bisection test), patients were divided into two groups: 20 with hemineglect and 20 without hemineglect. …

The Study Of Gastro-Intestinal Helminthes In Native Chicken And The Efficacy Of Mebendazole Against The Helminth Parasites, Suwanee Nithiuthai, Sudchit Chungpivat, Woraporn Sukumavasi

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

During 1996-1999, two thousand gastrointestinal tracts from native chicken sold in the avian market, Klongtoey, Prakanong, Bangkok were randomly examined for adult helminthes. The worms were identified and classified into 3 groups, according to their taxonomy. Intestinal flukes comprised of Echinostoma (1.0%), Prosthogonimus (0.1%) and Notocotylus (0.1%). Tapeworms were Amoebotaenia (0.5%), Cotugnia (2.1%), Diorchis (0.1%) Hymenolepis (0.9%) and Raillietina (14.5%). The last category was nematodes, which were in 5 genera : Ascaridia (7.2%), Capillaria (1.0%), Gongylonema (4.1%), Heterakis (9.4%), Strongyloides (0.4%) and Tetrameres (1.1%). Concurrent infections with 2 to 7 species of parasites were commonly found. Later in 2001, the …

The Expression Of Oestrogen And Progesterone Receptors In The Gilt Uterus At Different Stages Of The Oestrous Cycle, Sayamon Sukjumlong, Kongkiat Srisuwatanasagul, Adisorn Adirekthaworn, Kriengyot Sajjarengpong

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Ovarian steroid hormones are known to be an important modulator in the regulation of reproductive function in the female. The levels of oestrogen and progesterone have been well documented whilst interacting during the entire oestrous cycle but their specific receptors in the target cells are less understood. Therefore, a comparative study of oestrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) at certain oestrous stages should be of help in the prediction of their interaction in specific uterine compartments. Tissue samples were collected at different stages of the oestrous cycle: oestrus (n=3), early dioestrus (n=3) and late dioestrus (n=3). They were fixed in …

The Effect Of Chronic Heat Stress On The Urinary System Pathology Of Broilers, Worapol Aengwanich, Suchint Simaraks

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Thirty six, one day old broiler chicks were obtained from a commercial hatchery. They were brooded for 20 days before being placed in layer cages, with a wire floor, at 26-28oC, for a 7 day adaptation period. On day 28, the broilers were transferred into environmentally controlled housing, at 26-28oC, and were subjected to heat stress for 5 hrs, at a temperature of 33±1oC, each day, for 21 days. Fifteen birds were then randomly killed by cervical dislocation for macroscopic and microscopic examination of the urinary system. The results revealed that the ureters in 9 out of 15 broilers showed …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Rectal, faecal samples from 14 sheep were collected 3 times a day (morning, noon and evening) and examined for nematode eggs by the formalin-ether, sedimentation technique and the Brine floatation technique. The faecal egg counts were done by using the Stoll’s dilution, egg counting technique. The sheep were injected with ivermectin (Ivomec®) (0.2 mg/kg) subcutaneously. Three weeks later, faecal samples were collected and examined to determine the outcome of the treatment. It was found that strongyles and Trichuris ovis eggs were absent. It was concluded that Ivomec® showed good efficacy for the treatment of some gastrointestinal nematodes in this study …
