Conclusion: Male medical cadets tended to gain more weight over the four years spent at PCM. Health-related physical fitness of medical cadet improved in preclinical year and cardiorespiratory fitness declined in clinical year. To establish motivation to have regular physical activity in medical student, physical fitness test and anthropometric measurement should be integrated into the medical student’s curriculum.

Spinal Gnathostomiasis: A Case Report with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Electrophysiological Findings.
Conclusion: Electrophysiological findings demonstrated the function of spinal cord and peripheral nerves in the patient with spinal gnathostomiasis. There were correlations between MRI and electrophysiological findings that confirmed pathophysiology of the disease. Absence of SSEP and MEP response correlated with poor neurological outcomes in radiculomyelitis caused by Gnathostoma spp. infection.

Delayed Therapeutic Response Time Predicts Renal Damage in the First Episode of Febrile Urinary Tract Infection.
Conclusion: TRT at or more than 22 hours predicts renal damage after first episode of UTI. In patients with no VUR, TRT at or more than 25 hours predicts renal damage. DMSA renal scintigraphy in the first episode of UTI should be considered in these patients.

Clinical Outcomes of Community-Acquired Severe Sepsis after Implementation of a Simple Severe Sepsis Fast Track.
Conclusion: Early recognition and early resuscitation in case of severe sepsis and septic shock can reduce mortality. A simple severe sepsis and septic shock fast track should be implemented in all community hospitals. It is a simple clinical diagnosis with simple management that is possible in every community hospital before transfer to a secondary or tertiary care hospital.

Unrecognized Delirium is Prevalent among Older Patients Admitted to General Medical Wards and Lead to Higher Mortality Rate.
Conclusion: Rate of unrecognized delirium by healthcare providers in this study was high, but comparable to previous studies. Moreover, under-recognition of delirium was found to lead to higher mortality. Routine screening for delirium and implementation of a proactive care plan by nurses for older patients admitted to general medical wards might be a strategy for improving this common and preventable medical condition and for lowering delirium-related mortality rates.

Conclusion: For patients presenting to the emergency department with clinical symptoms of SIRS, a single serum venous lactate level measurement of greater than 36 mg/dL provides valuable prognostic predictor information concerning the high-risk group likely to progress to septic shock, more serious disease severity, and death.

A Ten to Thirteen Years Follow-up and Survivorship Study Cemented Low Contact Stress (LCS) Total Knee Replacement in Thailand.
Conclusion: The LCS system, in Thailand, provides predictable results in tri-compartmental arthritis of the knee, after 13 years follow-up with 99.31% survivorship rate or 100% survivorship rate for aseptic loosening condition and excellent-knee society scores.

Diagnostic Performance of Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) to Differentiate Malignant from Benign Ampullary Lesions Causing Distal Common Bile Duct Obstruction.
Conclusion: MDCT is helpful to differentiate benign and malignant nature of ampullary lesion that causes distal CBD obstruction. Benign and malignant ampullary lesion that cause distal CBD obstruction could not be definite differentiated by size, density, and enhancement pattern on CT image but degree of CBD, intrahepatic duct dilatation, pancreatic divisum, and target pattern may be distinguished.
