Correlation between Iodine Supplement in Pregnancy and Neonatal TSH Level.
Conclusion: The present study presented that there was statistical significant difference of the median value of neonatal TSH level between two groups of iodine and no-iodine supplement pregnant women. Even if there was no clinically significant difference and none of the newborn was diagnosed of hypothyroidism, iodine supplementation in all pregnant women should be of concerned. A large prospective study would benefit the iodine implementation of pregnant women in Siriraj Hospital.

Resting Energy Expenditure Measured by Indirect Calorimetry in Infants and Young Children with Chronic Lung Disease.
Conclusion: To ensure optimal nutritional support, REE should be measured by indirect calorimetry in pediatric patients with chronic lung diseases. Based on our finding, the Schofield-Weight/Height equation was the most accurate equation for predicting REE in this group of patients.

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair with Chimney Technique (Chimney TEVAR) for Aortic Arch Pathologies: Cardiovascular Problems during Anesthesia.
Conclusion: 1) It was not safe to monitor blood pressure only at right arm, 2) underestimated assessment of blood loss was common and caused hypotension, 3) volume status was hardly assessed by basic monitors and CVP did not help for volume assessment, and 4) fatal cardiovascular instability could happen.

The Prevalence of Red Blood Cell Alloantibodies in Lower Northern Thailand.
Conclusion: To minimize hemolytic transfusion reactions, we recommend greater availability and issuing of Mi, E, P1, Lea, and Leb-matched blood units for patients with known alloantibodies against these antigens, or for patients who require multiple transfusions. This is in addition to the standard pre-transfusion screening and cross-matching processes.

Feasibility Study of Language Lateralization using Thai Version of Language Paradigm for Functional MRI in Clinical Service.
Conclusion: There was good concordance between fMRI and gold standard. Regional calculation from frontal lobes and whole brain excluded cerebellum and occipital lobes gave the best results. The results supported feasibility to use the fMRI with Thai language paradigm as an alternative way to determine the language dominant hemisphere in Thai patients. In case of language dominant hemisphere is unclear, further invasive investigation of language mapping such as Wada test or DCS is crucial.
