Department of Pediatrics, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Background : Although acute bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory infection of infancy, the optimal treatmentis still controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the early and late effects of nebulized epinephrine in 3% NaCl and a single dose intravenous dexamethasone combination therapy with nebulized salbutamol and placebo in patients with acute bronchiolitis. Methods : Children with bronchiolitis, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which children (6 weeks to 36 months of age) with bronchiolitis who admit in Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital are randomly assigned to one of two study groups. One group received two treatments of nebulized epinephrine (2.5 ml of epinephrine (1:1000) in 3 % NaCl) and a single intravenous injection of 0.6 mg/kg dexamethasone (the epinephrine in 3 % NaCl–dexamethasone group), the second group received nebulized NSS and placebo (the placebo group). The primary outcome is the resolution of respiratory distress, determined by a clinical score (derived from the respiratory rate, occurrence of wheezing, chest retraction, and oxygen saturation.) at 1, 4, 12, 24, 48 hr and the secondary outcome is length of stay after treatment between two groups. Results : The improvement in clinical severity scores not significantly at 1, 4, 12, 24, 48 hr after treatment between the two groups (p= 0.137). Also, length of stay not significantly between the two groups. (p= 0.326). Conclusions : We conclude that in non-asthmatic, non-severely children with acute bronchiolitis in hospitalized aerosolized. Among infants with bronchiolitis treated by nebulized epinephrine (2.5 ml of epinephrine (1:1000) in 3 % NaCl) and a single intravenous injection of 0.6 mg/kg dexamethasone not decreases symptoms and length of stay as compared to the second group received nebulized NSS and placebo.

Apikit Srisermphoak MD. Department of Orthopedics, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Objectives : To study about factors that effect on the result of free vascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head in Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital such as stage of the disease, etiology of the osteonecrosis, age and gender of the patient and Harris hip score before surgery. Study design : Case-control study. Setting : Department of Orthopedic, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. Subjects : Patient who had undergone free vascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head in Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital since 2008-2012. Methods : We collected the data from medical record of patient who had undergone free vascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head in Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, since 20082012 and evaluated the Harris Hip Score post operatively at 2 years follow up. We defined conversion to total hip arthroplasty as the failure end point and divided the outcomes in two groups ; Poor result and Good result. The data was studied in statistical analysis by Binary logistic regression about factors that effect on the results. Results : There are 16 patients were recruited in this study whom are 12 males and 4 females. Baseline age of patients were 25-45 years old (36.87+6.77 years old). There are 24 hips underwent to surgery which divided in good result group 17 hips (70.8 %) and poor result group 7 hips (29.2 %). There are 2 in 7 hips of poor result group (28.57 %) which conversion to total hip arthroplasty in 2 years follow up. We compared the factors of age and gender of patients in two groups that were no different in results. The most stage of disease in the good result group was Ficat and Arlet classification Stage 2A (58.82 %) and there are not Stage 3 in this group, opposited to the poor result group, the most stage of disease was Stage 2B (57.14 %). Then we evaluated the etiology of the osteonecrosis that in the good result group were alcohol abuse (38.89%), systemic steroid use (33.33 %) and idiopathic (27.78 %) respectively. The most etiology of the osteonecrosis in the poor result group were alcohol abuse (62.5 %) and systemic steroid use (37.5 %). Harris Hip Score post operative at 2 years follow up in good result group 63-91 (mean 68.58) was higher than poor result group 49-65 (mean 57.57). We analyzed the data by Binary logistic regression about factors that effect on the result, however, there was no statistically significant effects. Conclusion : The result of this study showed no statistically significant effects about factors such as stage of the disease, etiology of the osteonecrosis, age and gender of the patient and Harris hip score before surgery on the result of surgery due to the amount of study population is less than calculated sample size. Further research trials evaluating of these effects are needed.

It causes patients to be taken to emergency room for medical treatments. These days information of prevalence and factors related to seizure in tramadol misuse is restricted. Objective : To study the prevalence and the factors related to seizure from tramadol misuse at emergency room, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, Royal Thai Air Force. Research method : By cross section analysis, collecting the information from the patients with seizure caused by the use of tramadol (case group) and pairing them with those who have not been treated with tramadol (control group). This study was conducted with the patients taken to the emergency room,Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, Royal Thai Air Force, for medical treatment during January 1, 2012 – September 30, 2014 in the ratio 1:1, collecting population data, information of the use of tramadol and the seizure, prevalence analysis information and factors related by multivariable logistic regression statistic. Results : Prevalenceof 141 patients with tramadol misuse is divided by year accordingly, in 2014 - 66 patients (46.8 %), in 2013 – 54 patients (38.3 %), in 2012 – 21 patients (14.9 %). Most patients with seizure from tramadol misuse are male. The average age is 17+2.02 years. They are in high school years, living with parents. The average seizure time is 3.43+1.51 minutes and the seizure begins after taking the tramadol, the average hour after the last tramadol taken is 4 hours. The tramadol dose from 100 mg causes the seizure in patients. The mean of dose causing the seizure is 500+250 mg. The main cause of tramadol misuse is peer pressure. The factors related to seizure from tramadol misuse are age which is 12-15 years and 16-20 years (Adjusted OR 149.22, 95 % CI 15.6-874.8 p-value = 0.001, and 55.48, 95 % CI 6.3-354.3 p-value <0.001, accordingly), BMI below 18 kg/m 2 (Adjusted OR 7.31, 95 % CI 1.14-22.89 p-value = 0.033), patients with previous underlying disease (Adjusted OR 0.52, 95 % CI 0.02-0.20 p-value <0.001) and patients with drug abuse history (Adjusted OR 2.3, 95 % CI 1.2-4.7 p-value = 0.015). For the condition of the patients with seizure from tramadol misuse, it has been founded in the patients who have heart rates more than 100 times/minute. (Adjusted OR 149.94, 95 % CI 31.95-567.57 p-value <0.001) Glasgow coma score is between 13-15 (Adjusted OR 14.51, 95 % CI 1.03-68.24 p-value = 0.046) Conclusion : There is an increasing tendency in prevalence of the patients with seizure. The factor related to seizure is the misuse of tramadol. For the age under 20 years, BMI is below 18 kg/m2 with the seizure history. Heart rates more than 100 times/minute and Glasgow coma score is not intense.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Objective : The objectives of the study were to determine effects of curcumin in decreasing size of leiomyoma and to determine adverse effects of curcumin. Materials and Methods : The study was a prospective study conducted in reproductive women with leiomyoma in Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. 35 women with 81 leiomyoma lumps were recruited to participate by convenience sampling. Ultrasound measurement size of leiomyoma was done before treatment with curcumin. Patients were taken curcumin 1,200 milligrams orally per day for 6 months. Ultrasound measurement size of leiomyoma was repeated at 3 and 6 months after curcumin was started. Main outcomes measure was size of leiomyoma. Size of leiomyoma were compared between before and after taken curcumin for 6 months. Results : The mean diameter of leiomyoma was statistically different at before and after 3 (4.74 + 2.78 centimeters VS 4.64 + 2.75 centimeters) and 6 months (4.74 + 2.78 centimeters VS 4.46 + 2.61 centimeters) curcumin intake. And both mean volume of leiomyoma was statistically different at before and after 3 and 6 months curcumin intake. Adverse effect of curcumin was not found. Conclusions : Curcumin decreased size of myoma uteri after taken 6 months with statistically significant.

Objective : To study outcomes of neonates born to mothers with hyperthyroidism in term of birth weight, gestational ageand thyroid hormone levels. Material and methods : Medical records ofdescriptive study of mothers with hyperthyroidism and their neonates at Bhumibol Adulayadej Hospital between April 1, 2009 to April 30, 2014 were reviewd. Result : Fourty two mothers with hyperthyroidism and 43 newborns (1 pair of twin) were enrolled. The most common etiology of maternal hyperthyroidism in this study is Graves’ disease (54.8 %). Thyroid function during pregnancy is euthyroid (66.7 %) and hyperthyroidism (33.33 %). Outcome of neonate, there were preterm labor 18.6 %, low birth weight (25.28 %). Euthyroid was found 79.07 %. Eight babies had transient congenital hypothyroidism (18.60 %) and 1 baby had hyperthyroidism (2.33 %). Thyroid hormone are statistically significant positive correlation (P=0.003) between Free T4 of the mother during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy with the Free T4 of the newborn, as estimated at the age of 48-72 hours. In addition, the treatment of PTU in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy that affects to neonatal total T4 and Free T4 which measured at age 48-72 hours statistically significant at P 0.00 and 0.001 sequence. And the treatment of PTU in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy was found to affect the levels of total T3 and T4 which measured at age 7-14 statistically significant at P 0.042 and 0.023, respectively. Conclusion : Maternal hyperthyroidism, may result in low birth weight, premature labor and abnormal thyroid function in babies. Especially mothers who received higher dose may result in congenital hypothyroidism in infant.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Background : Macrosomia, defined as a birthweight at least 4,000 g., is one of the major health problem that affects both maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Many studies have carried out on risk factors that have been associated with fetal macrosomia. Objective : To evaluate the risk factors for fetal macrosomia in Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. Material and Methods : Medical records between 1st January 2011 and 30th April 2014 were reviewed. The data of age, parity, height, prepregnancy weight, weight at delivery, fetal birth weight and medical complication during pregnancy were collected. The data was then analysed using SPSS version 20. Results : A total of 340 patients were recruited, 170 cases of macrosomia and 170 cases of control. The risk factors for fetal macrosomia were The prepregnancy BMI > 23 kg/m2 (OR 40.85 , p < 0.05), BMI at delivery > 30 kg/m2 (OR 53.94 , p < 0.05), weight gain > 15 kg. (OR 20.02 , p < 0.05), gestational age at delivery > 40 weeks (OR 11.11, p < 0.05), gestational diabetes type 2 (OR 13.60, P<0.05 ) Conclusion : In this study risk factors for delivery of a newborn with macrosomia were found to related with prepregnancy BMI > 23 kg/m2, BMI at delivery > 30 kg/m2, weight gain > 15 kg., gestational age at delivery > 40 weeks and gestational diabetes type 2 significantly.

Department of Pediatrics, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Background : Approximately 10 % to 20 % of Kawasaki Disease patients will have unresponsiveness to initial intravenous immunoglobulin treatment. IVIG resistance is a major risk factor for development of coronary artery abnormality in Kawasaki Disease. The early identification of patients at risk for resistance would allow for the timely administration of additional therapies. Objective : To evaluate rate and risk factors associated unresponsiveness to intravenous immunoglobulin in Kawasaki disease among patient admitted at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. Material and method : This is cross-sectional descriptive study. We reviewed the medical records of Kawasaki Disease patients who admitted at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital between 31 December 2003 and 31 December 2014. Data collected included patient characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, outcome and complication of Kawasaki disease. Results : Kawasaki disease was diagnosed in 48 patients, 26 patients were boys (54.2 %), 22 patients were girls (45.8 %). The average age was 34.6 months old. All received high dose IVIG for treatment of Kawasaki disease 6 of 48 patients (12.5 %) were IVIG resistant Kawasaki disease. We found that the clinical manifestation were not statistic significant to predict unresponsiveness Kawasaki disease. Patients who had laboratory findings ; Serum sodium < 133 mmol/l (P=0.001), Band form of neutrophil > 20 % (P=0.010), Albumin < 3 g/dl (P=0.013), CRP > 100 mg/dl (P=0.029) and Neutrophil > 80 % (P=0.038) were statistic significant to predict IVIG unresponsiveness Kawasaki disease. On multiple logistics regression model identified serum sodium < 133 mmol/l (P=0.005) as the independent predictor of IVIG unresponsiveness Kawasaki disease. Conclusion : Approximately 12.5 % of Kawasaki Disease patients at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital will have unresponsiveness to initial intravenous immunoglobulin treatment. The factor significantly related to predict unresponsiveness to intravenous immunoglobulin in Kawasaki disease was serum sodium < 133 mmol/l.

Emergency Medicine Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Objectives : To research the difference of the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) score between group of the patients, before and after intervention and group of the patients without the brief intervention. Background : Excessive alcohol consumption is a main factor that causes substantial risk and harm to the person injuries. Thus, there are a number of patients have to be treated in the accident and emergency room. Nowadays, the results of the brief intervention have proved that the brief intervention has been able to reduce the amount of alcohol consumption, especially in the patients who have complicated life styles. As the general said “We have to strike while the iron is hot” that bring the advantage of treatment decisively and quickly as soon as the brief intervention. Materials and Methods : This case study is the experiment of the injured patients from the excessive alcohol consumption in the Accident and Emergency Room, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. Between 1st of June to 30th of November 2014. 104 patients have been devided equally into 2 groups of a control group and an experimental group. Both groups have received in the interview on the first day of the accident for analysis the AUDIT score. The control group has not received the brief intervention but the experimental group has received the brief intervention. Then, the AUDIT score of the both group have been analysed again a month after the first day of the accident. Results : The patients who have received the brief intervention early by doctor, the AUDIT score has been decreased 3.194 but in the patient without the brief intervention, it has been decreased only 2.912. The Statistic value of this case study have shown as P=0.004 (P<0.05) Furthermore, most of the AUDIT values have been decreased in the area of the amount and the frequency of the alcohol consumption. Conclusion : From this case study, the AUDIT score have been decreased in both groups of the patients with and without the brief intervention but the patients with the brief intervention’s AUDIT score have decreased more. However, this decreasing score may cause of the beginning of the accident so the patients have been in pain and not be able to consume the alcohol as usual. Therefore, AUDIT score need to analyzed in some periods of time after the accident to evaluate the accurate long term values.

Department of Pediatrics, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Background : Amphetamine abuse is widespread problem in Thai community. Effect of amphetamine abuse in pregnant women should be emphasized, since it may cause deformities in neonates. Moreover, other types of substance abuse used in combination with amphetamine may aggravate the effect. Objectives : To find out relationship between amphetamine exposure in pregnancy and birth outcomes. Materials and methods : A Cross-sectional descriptive study was performed at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital between 1st June 2009 and 30th May 2014. Electronic databases of Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital were searched by ICD 10 to identify newborn who were history of maternal amphetamine used. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results : The total number of the sample group was 59 people. Most of the group were around 20 to 35 years old (72.9 %), and approximately 45.8 % of the group had the highest education level as compulsory. The main occupation of the group was housewife (55.9 %). The group had inadequate income as their whole family income was nearly only 11,925+9555.6 baht per month. The main proportion of the group had records of using Amphetamine with other addictive substances (61 %) while 39 % used only Amphetamine. The addictive substance that was used with Amphetamine the most was cigarette (75 %). Moreover, the study showed that 71.2 % of the group had inadequate prenatal care which led to negative effects on their babies. For instance, their new born babies had less weight than the 10th percentile (SGA) of newborn babies as high as 28.8 %. The head circumference were less than the 10th percentile (55.9 %). The most common abnormal states after birth was hypoglycemia (11.9 %). Conclusion : There was high possibility that mothers using Amphetamine and other addictive substances while in pregnant had age around 20-35. Also, they had the highest education level as compulsory and worked as housewife with low level of incomes. The babies born by this group of mother tended to have SGA, have less than the 10th percentile (55.9), and had hypoglycemia.

Emergency Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Background of the study : Uncomplicated lacerations are wounds normally found in the Emergency Department although sterile technique for laceration management continues to be recommended, studies supporting this practice are lacking. Using clean non-sterile gloves rather than individually packaged sterile gloves for uncomplicated wound repair in the Emergency Department may result in cost and time savings and sometimes assistance is required. Study Objective : This study was aimed to compare the infection rate between sterile gloves and clean gloves for the repair of uncomplicated lacerations in the Emergency Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, Royal Thai Air-force. Research procedure : This pilot study was an experimental research conducted with the patients who had their wounds repaired in the hospital. The data were collected by Residencies of the Emergency Medicines who described the details of the study to the patients before joining the project. The patients were asked to sign their names in the consent documents. They were then, asked to complete the questionnaires for their demographic information including wound repair methods. Results : The patients joining the study were divided into 2 groups, i.e. the sterile gloves group and the clean gloves group. Three days follow-up was obtained 136 patients, 68 patients for sterile gloves group and 68 patients for clean gloves group. The infection rate in the sterile glove group was 10.3 % and was 23.6 % in the clean gloves group but there was no statistically significant difference in the incidents of infection between the two groups at 0.05 level (p<0.05). Conclusion : This study demonstrated that there was no difference in infection rate between using sterile and clean gloves for the repair of uncomplicated lacerations in the Emergency Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, Royal Thai Air-force. This can be explained that the patients with uncomplicated lacerations were carefully treated by the residences with systematic wound repair process or due to other factors.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Objective : To evaluate the association of fetal growth rate in first trimester and fetal birth weight. Materials and Methods : The prospective cohort study was performed at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Fetal growth rate was measured by ultrasound twice in first trimester. First Crown Rump Length (CRL) ultrasound was measured at first antenatal care (ANC) and second CRL ultrasound was at four weeks later. Delta CRLs was calculated and divided into 3 groups : larger than expected, smaller than expected and equal as expected. Patients were followed until delivery. Fetal birth weights were stratified and labeled as large for gestational age (LGA), small for gestational age (SGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) by birth weight percentile at gestational age at delivery. Fetal growth rate in first trimester and fetal birth weight were analyzed. Result : 114 pregnant women were recruited. 59 fetuses were equal as expected (51 %), 43 fetuses were smaller than expected (38 %) and 12 fetuses were larger than expected (11 %). The delta CRLs were significantly associate to fetal birth weights (P = 0.000). Diabetic mellitus and hypertension were not significantly associated to fetal birth weights. Conclusion : Fetal growth rate in first trimester was significantly associated to fetal birth weight.

Outpatient Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Objective : To compare the agreement on emergency severity index (ESI) among triage nurse and professional physicians between the time before and after the nurse getting knowledge management program of ESI. Research Methodology : Observational analytic study. The population of the study was the agreements on emergency severity index (ESI) among triage nurse and professional physicians. We used the professional physicians as a gold standard. The 200 patients were selected from the Outpatient clinic for Military Personnel at Bhumibol hospital during 22 September 2014 to 30 November 2014. The knowledge management program was set in 6 November 2014. The patient were divided into two groups, 100 patients each. The first group was the patient coming to clinic before 6 November 2014 and the second group was the patient coming after 6 November 2014. All were ranked the severity by the nurse and professional physicians. Kappa coefficient was used to determine the consistent. The accuracy, over-triage and under-triage were analysed. Results : Before getting into knowledge management program, the agreement on emergency severity index (ESI) among triage nurse and professional physicians was kappa coefficient = 0.28 and P-value < 0.001. The accuracy was 83 %. The over-triage and the under-triage were 17 % and 0 % respectively. After the program, the agreement on emergency severity index (ESI) among triage nurse and professional physicians was kappa coefficient = 0.60 and P-value < 0.001. The accuracy was 91 %. The over-triage and the under-triage were 6 % and 3 % respectively. Conclusion : In this study, the kappa coefficient showed that the agreement on ESI among the assessors before the program was in low level whereas the agreement on ESI after the program was in moderate level. This imply that the knowledge management program should be benefit to triage staff at the Outpatient clinic for Military Personnel at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital.

AVM Vibul Trakulhoon MD. Surgery Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand The VAD (vascular access devices) placement and post procedure care carry risks of complications which simply divided into infectious and non infectious aspect. According to Safdar N, et al. (Ann Intern Med 2005), the mortality of catheter related blood stream infection (CR-BSI) was 12-25 %. CDC guidelines had proposed the Central Line Bundle of practice to reduce the associated CVC infection. The bundle contains 5 components : hand hygiene; maximal barrier precaution; chlorhexidine gluconate (2 % CHG with 70 % isopropyl alcohol; skin antisepsis; optimal catheter site selection; daily assessment of line need. Non infectious complications related to VAD are catheter occlusion, migration, dislodgement, thrombosis, breakage and other mechanical complication. A retrospective study by Brown JR, et al (J Am Coll Surg 2009.) of 205 patients with elective subclavian vein Port placement found 2.4 % of catheter malposition and 2 % pneumothorax (negative by the post-procedure CXR but became positive by a repeat CXR on symptomatic patient). Device stabilization The VAD should be placed stabilizely by sutures or steristrips to prevent the movement of catheter tip against the blood vessel wall. The tip can irritate and induce thrombus formation. Recent Infusion Nursing Standard of Practice (2011) recommend to use the manufactured securement devices for stabilization of the catheter. Catheter Patency and Occlusion Routine anticoagulant solution flush is controversial. However, most practices recommend a regular interval flush with heparin solution. A study by Jonker MA et al. (JPEN 2010) compared a routine heparin flush (10 units/cc.) versus saline decrease thrombotic occlusion. The flush volume is generally twice the volume of the catheter. (for non tunneled and tunneled cuff CVC are 1-2 cc. and 1-3 cc. respectively; 2-3 cc. for PICC daily, and 3 cc. at least for Port every 4 weeks. Intraluminal occlusion can develop by drug-heparin interaction, or parenteral nutrition with inappropriate Ca/PO4 ratios, and also lipid residue. These occurrence can be prevented by using 0.9 % saline flush between each intravenous medications. The placement of VADs are frequently performed in Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. Is it better to have a protocol or any guidelines to utilize the VADs safely and effectively ?

Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Objective : The main objective of this study is to compare the occurring rates of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in late preterm infants at gestational age of 34 weeks and 35-36 weeks. The second objective is compare the rates of short term neonatal complications among infants at gestational age of 34, 35-36 weeks and term (37-40 weeks). Materials and Methods : This is a retrospective cohort design. 200 late preterm (99 cases for GA 34 weeks and 101 cases for GA of 35-36 weeks) and 100 normal term neonates were recruited. RDS rate and short-term complications in neonates who were born at the Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital from January 2011 to June 2014 were compared. The data were analyzed with Chi-square test, Student’s t-test and analysis of variance where appropriate. Result : RDS rate was found higher in the late preterm group with GA 34-346/7 weeks than in the group with GA 35-366/7 weeks (15 % and 4.0 % respectively with p=0.015). The RDS rate of normal term (GA 3740 weeks) was zero. The short-term complications: oxygen requirement, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, NICU admission and hospital stay were also higher in 34-346/7 week gestation group. Conclusion : The rate of RDS is significantly higher in late preterm with GA 34-346/7 weeks than others group.

Orthopedic Surgery Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Background : In Thailand, The Royal Thai Armed Forces and police enrollment policy were still debating to use flatfoot for exclusion criteria. However, during period of military training at Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School, Pre-cadets who have flatfoot suffering from longitudinal plantar arch pain and intolerated to complete training. There has been limited knowledge about complication of flatfoot in physical training and prevalence of flatfoot. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of flatfoot and the relationship between flatfoot and physical fitness in Armed Forces Academies Preparatory Pre Cadet. Methodology : 1,608 Pre-cadets were recruited to participate in this study. Questionnaire and physical fitness testing data (50 meter splint, distance run 1 km, standing long jump, shuttle run) were collected. Both sides of footprints were performed with Harris’s mat. Chippaux-Smirak index (CSI) were calculated from the footprints and diagnosed to be flatfoot in case of CSI > 0.45. Jack’s toe rising test and ankle dorsiflexion were used to classify the flexibility of flatfoot and tightness of Achilles tendon. Results: The prevalence of flatfoot was 35.3 % (flexible flatfoot 29.9 % and rigid flatfoot 5.3 %). 2.7% was flexible flatfoot with short TA and 2.8 % was rigid flatfoot with short TA. Flatfoot increased pain during training comparing with normal feet significantly (odds ratio 2.09, P < 0.05). The odds ratio of rigid flatfoot, flexible flatfoot with short TA, rigid flatfoot with short TA comparing with normal feet were 4.58, 5.5, and 8.45, respectively. However, in this study shows the relation between standing long jump and flatfoot that Pre-cadets who had flexible flatfoot without short TA could jump further than normal feet, flexible flatfoot with short TA and rigid flatfoot without short TA significantly. Conclusions : The prevalence of flatfoot in Armed Forces Academies Preparatory Pre Cadet was 35.3 %. Flatfoot were associated to pain during training. The relationship between flatfoot and physical fitness, however needs further investigation.

Department of Orthopedics, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Objective : To compare the analgesic benefit of preoperative skin traction in patients with hip fracture. Material and Method : Patients with hip fracture from the Bhumiphol Hospital were enrolled and assessed for initial pain score. Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. The first group received skin traction and the second group was treated with bed rest only. Both groups were assessed the pain score by use a visual analogue scale at 12, 24, 36, 48 hour after admission and the times of receiving the morphine injection. The pain score and times of receiving the morphine were compared by using independent t-test. Results : A total of 47 patients were recruited. Twenty-four patients were randomized to be treated with skin traction and the other were treated with bed rest. No significant differences were found in the demographic data between two groups. The pain scores of the patient who were treated with skin traction was 7.62+1.84, 6.62+1.18, 5.50+1.31, 4.75+1.04 and the pain scores in bed rest group were 6.87+2.47, 5.87+2.29, 5.75+2.29, 4.25+1.28 at 12, 24, 36, 48 hour respectively.The times of receiving the morphine injection were 2.25+1.58 in skin traction group and 2.00+2.13 in bed rest group. No significant differences were found in the pain score and the times of receiving the morphine injection between two groups. Conclusion : The preoperative skin traction in patients with hip fractures does not provide significant pain relief as compared with bed rest only. 54 Royal Thai Air Force Medical Gazette Vol. 61 No. 1 January - April 2015 A Comparison of Kinyoun Staining and Fluorescent Microscopy for Diagnosis of Tuberculosis Thidarat Saewong Microbiology Division, Department of Pathology, Bhumibol Adulydej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Background : According to WHO one third of the world population have tuberculosis. Sputum smear microscopy is fast and inexpensive technique for early detection of tuberculosis (TB) in high incidence areas. The Ziehl–Neelsen and Kinyoun staining methods have low sensitivity. WHO have recommended the new sensitivity method, fluorescence staining was instead. This study showed the comparison between fluorescence stain and conventional Kinyoun stain in their efficacy for tuberculosis diagnosis. Methods : By active screening 411 specimens were identified from Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. All specimens were screen for Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) by Kinyoun and Fluorescence staining methods. Both smears were then air dried, heat fixed, and stained by the Kinyoun and Fluorescence staining technique. The stained slides were graded following International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases guidelines. 43 specimens were cultured for TB by Liquid method, results were considered as gold standard to calculate sensitivity. Results : Of 411 specimens of suspected tuberculosis were included in the study. 49 positive specimens showed that, only 21 (42.9 %) specimens were positive fluorescence staining methods and 28 (57.1 %) specimens were positive both on direct methods. In addition, the result of 43 positive TB culture showed that, 16 (37.2 %) specimens were positive on both method and only 9 (20.9 %) specimens were positive fluorescence staining method. The sensitivity of Kinyoun and Fluorescence staining methods was different when using positive culture as the gold standard (37.2 % vs. 58.1 %). Conclusions : The results showed that fluorescence staining methods has a high sensitivity more than Kinyoun stain by 20.9 %. Therefore, the national programs in high TB burden countries may consider incorporating the technique into their guidelines at least in the district and higher level laboratories to improve case finding strategy.

Orthopedics Surgery, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Background : Intramedullary (IM) nailing has become the preferred method of treatment for fractures of the femur in adults. It requires a small incision and minimum dissection, gives excellent healing of the fracture and rapid recovery. The semi-closed approach makes IM nailing a technically demanding procedure. It is impossible to secure an anatomical reduction under direct vision, resulting in less rotational control in comparison to the classical method of fixation by a plate. However, initial biomechanical studies suggest that it causes a substantial change in load bearing in the affected extremity. CT is useful in the identification of the degree of mal-rotation and in surgical planning. Objective : This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of rotationalmalalignment of femur following intramedullary nailing. Materials and methods : All closed unilateral femoral shaft fractures in patients aged 18 or over treated between March 2009 and December 2013 were included in the current study. All patients received a postoperative CT-scan to estimate femoral antetorsion. All fractures were treated with intramedullary nailing on a radiolucent table. Retrospectively, all patients were analyzed according to the following parameters: (1) femoral antetorsion of both limbs and antetorsion difference in degrees, (2) incidence of femoral malrotation.

Surgery Department, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Management of difficult common bile duct stones in the era of laparoscopy is controversy. Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is widely used procedure for remove common bile duct stones but occasionally biliary bypass procedure is required. In the case of impacted stone of distal part of common bile duct (CBD), benign biliary stricture or failure of endoscopic stone removal, laparoscopic choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) may be an option for treatment in these conditions. This surgical procedure has been scared about its complications, but in our experience this procedure offered best outcome especially in elderly patient who cannot tolerate major operation. In our series, ten laparoscopic CDD was performed under two surgeons between 2013 and 2015. Average age of patient was 74 years (55-95), 80 % has comorbid diseases. Indication for bilioenteric bypass is impacted CBD stone, multiple CBD stones with benign stricture and failure of endoscopic stones removal. We had the recent patient in our series, 95 year-old female, she had multiple (>3) large (3 cm) CBD stones which can removed and underwent laparoscopic CDD uneventfully. The laparoscopic port was placed by 4-5 ports. One cm diameter end-to-side CDS anastomosis was performed with interrupted sutures over small silicone stent. The operative time was 178+20 (136-205) min. There was no conversion. The hospital stay was 6.7 days. There was no mortality. Two weeks follow up of patients showed normal liver function test and good short term results. In conclusion, the laparoscopic CDD gives good short-term outcomes and feasible in our experience and could be considered as an alternative to treatment patients with indication; impacted CBD stone, multiple CBD stones and CBD stone which cannot be remove by ERCP. The utilization of small silicone stent is anastomosis patency in couple weeks and suturing technique.

Polyethylene glycol and milk of magnesia are osmotic agents used to treat constipation. There were few studies comparing the two laxatives for the treatment of functional constipation in infants and young children. Objective : To compare two laxatives, polyethylene glycol 4,000 without electrolytes (PEG) and milk of magnesia (MOM), by evaluating the effectiveness, adverse effects and patient compliance. Materials and methods : A randomized controlled trial was performed for 94 patients aged one-four years who attended at the pediatric outpatient clinic of Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital and met the Rome III criteria for functional constipation receiving either PEG or MOM for four weeks. The primary outcome evaluation was the improvement rate. The secondary outcomes included the improvement of stool frequency, adverse effects and compliance rate. Results : Eighty-nine patients completed the study, including 46 in the PEG group and 43 in the MOM group. Baseline characteristics of age, body weight, sex, initial stool frequency and duration of constipation were similar between groups. At the four week follow-up visit, 91 % of PEG-treated patients and 65 % of the MOM-treated patients exhibited improvement (p=0.003). Patients in the PEG group had greater increase of stool frequency after treatment than patients in the MOM group. Overall adverse effects were mild, transient and not different among groups, but there was more diarrhoea in MOM treated patients. No serious adverse effects were observed. Compliance rates were 89 % for PEG and 72 % for MOM (p=0.041). Conclusion : PEG was more effective and had greater patient compliance than MOM for the management of functional constipation in infants and children aged one-four years.

Rahut Jarayapun MD. Department of Orthopedics, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, RTAF, Bangkok, Thailand Introduction : Delayed time to surgery is associated with an increase in medical complications and delayed rehabilitation for hip-fracture patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an improved fast tracking system for hip-fracture patients can reduce waiting time to surgery. Design : Prospective cohort study. Measurements : Time to surgery, reasons for surgical delay. Results : Median time to surgery was more than 72 hours. Lack of operating room availability (60.7 %) and medical problems (33.1 %) were the main reasons for delays longer than 48 hours. Conclusion : The reported association between late surgery and higher morbidity and mortality in patients with hip fracture is mostly explained by medical reasons for surgical delay, although some association between very delayed surgery and worse outcomes persists. By fast-tracking hip-fracture patients straight to the orthopaedic ward, our clinic was able to decrease the mean time from arrival to start of surgery and the majority of these patients underwent surgery within 48 h. We believe that this fast-track system could be used in our and other hospitals. 66 Royal Thai Air Force Medical Gazette Vol. 61 No. 1 January - April 2015 The Survey Study of Self – Harm Patients Arrived at the Accident and Emergency Room, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital Phasut Nganwai MD., Panida Yongskulrote MD.
