    Body surface area of Burmese subjects
    (1968-01-01) Hla Win; Nyunt Khin; Tin May Than
    Body surface area of 208 males and 203 females was determined using the linear formula method of DuBois and DuBois. Surface area obtained by actual measurement is found to be greater than that calculated from the height and weight formula of DuBois and DuBois but lower than that of Banerjee, Rohatgi, Mukherjee and Sen for Indian females. A new formula to calculate the body surface area of Burmese subjects has been derived and a nomogram based on this formula has been prepared.

    A Comparative study of Amodiaquine and Chloquine in the treatment of Falciparum Malaria
    (1990-01-01) Thet Naing; Hla Win; Yin Yin Nwe; Tin Shwe
    75 patients were studied in Tauggyi, Shan State where chloroquine resistant falciparum malaria is prevalent. Response of the patients were followedup to 7 days for assessment, one group to chloroquine & another group to amodiaquine. In sensitive patients there was no difference in terms of fever and parasite clearence but in terms of treatment failures cholroquine was 48.8percent and amodiaquine was 20 percent.

    The detection of malaria parasite from three different parts of the body
    (1989-03-01) Thet Naing; Hla Win; Yin Yin Nwe
    Blood films from three different sites of the body of 56 patients were studied for malaria parasites. In the higher parasite density group the mean parasite count varies, the highest obtained from finger capillary blood, anticubital venous blood being intermediate and intradermal blood had the lowest count. The probable reason for this variation is discussed. In the lower parasite density group the mean speed in finding one parasite was statistically not significant in the three methods. Steps in performing intrademal blood letting is presented.

    Energy expenditure in agricultural activities in Burma
    (1968-01-01) Nyunt Khin; Hla Win; Tin May Than
    The energy expenditure of 21 men and 8 women from the villages of Chitteegone in the Mingaladon area and Danyingone in the Insein area was studied during paddy cultivation. Three subjects of typical farmers were chosen for recording daily activities in termittently throughout the year using the diary technique of Garry, Passmore, Warnock and Durnin (1955). The mean daily energy expenditure of these subjects during various agricultural seasons was calculated. The mean metabolic cost keal/min/subject was determined on the above subjects and more than one determination were encountered on some individuals. The validity of the assessed metabolic cost for use in future energy expenditure for paddy cultivation was proved and found to be satisfactory.
