Cervical disc replacement is a cutting-edge surgical option for individuals suffering from chronic neck or arm pain caused by cervical disc herniation or degeneration. < Back [Press Release] Cervical Disc Replacement at BNH Hospital! 3 Apr 2025 Cervical disc replacement is a cutting-edge surgical option for individuals suffering from chronic neck or arm pain caused by cervical disc herniation or degeneration. When discs degenerate or herniate, they can compress nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness. Traditional treatments like physical therapy and medication may not always provide relief, and fusion surgery (ACDF) can limit spinal motion. Cervical disc replacement offers a revolutionary alternative. Unlike fusion surgery, which immobilizes the spine, this procedure replaces the damaged disc with an artificial one, preserving natural movement and reducing stress on adjacent discs. Benefits include no bone graft complications, fewer hardware-related issues, and a lower risk of adjacent segment disease. Patients often experience rapid relief from nerve symptoms and can return to normal activities sooner. If you’re struggling with neck pain, consider cervical disc replacement to restore mobility and improve your quality of life.

Dengue Fever is a viral infection transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, causing epidemics worldwide, especially in countries with hot and humid climates like Thailand.  < Back Preventing Dengue Fever with Vaccine by BNH Hospital [Member Promotion] 12 Sept 2023 Dengue Fever is a viral infection transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, causing epidemics worldwide, especially in countries with hot and humid climates like Thailand. This fever is caused by any one of four types of dengue viruses, which are DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. Should you have had dengue fever in the past, you can still be infected again by the other virus types. In addition, previous infection with dengue fever increases your risk of severe symptoms if you get dengue fever again. Prevention 📌 Vaccine: If you live in an area where there is an outbreak or at risk of infection, getting vaccinated might be another preventive measure. 📌 Eradicate mosquito breeding sites: Eliminate breeding grounds for mosquitoes, such as water bottles, rainwater pipes, water tanks, or use chemicals to kill mosquito larvae. 📌 Prevent mosquito bites: Use mosquito repellent and wear clothing that covers the skin. Apply skin repellents or spray them on clothes. Use mosquito nets when sleeping. 📌 Monitor symptoms: If initial symptoms resembling dengue fever appear, such as high fever, body aches, and headaches, you should see a doctor immediately for diagnosis and treatment. Dengue Fever Vaccine at BNH Hospital A new-generation vaccine Only 2 injections are required (with a 3-month gap) Suitable for ages of 4 to 60 It can be administered to both individuals who have had dengue fever before and those who have not Protection against all 4 strains of dengue fever is up to 80.2% Reduces hospitalisation and disease severity up to 90.4% For more information or appointment, please contact: 📧 Email: [email protected] ☎️ Call: 02-020-0700 🌐 Website: www.bnhhospital.com To explore other news and activities from SweCham and our members, please visit: www.swecham.com Previous Next

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise, particularly among younger adults. < Back Preventing Colon Cancer with Early Detection: AI-Assisted Colonoscopy 9 Apr 2025 Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise, particularly among younger adults. However, early detection significantly improves survival rates and reduces the risk of developing advanced-stage cancer. Why Early Detection Matters Research shows that 90% of colon cancers originate from harmless polyps, which can be detected and removed before they become cancerous. Since colon cancer often presents no symptoms in its early stages, regular screenings are essential. Colonoscopy remains the most effective screening method, as it not only detects abnormalities but also allows for the immediate removal of polyps in the same procedure—offering both preventive and treatment benefits for better patient outcomes. Although colorectal cancer is traditionally associated with older adults, younger individuals often underestimate their risk due to the misconception that it is solely an age-related disease. As a result, CRC screening is now recommended starting at age 45. Individuals can begin with a fecal occult blood test as a non-invasive initial screening method. Advancements in Screening Technology At Samitivej, we utilize EndoBRAIN-EYE , an AI-assisted colonoscopy system, combined with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) to enhance screening accuracy. Developed in collaboration with Sano Hospital in Japan, this technology enables real-time analysis of colonoscopy images, helping doctors detect even the smallest abnormalities for a more precise diagnosis. Why Choose Early Screening with AI-Assisted Colonoscopy? 1.5x Higher Detection Accuracy – Ensures early-stage issues are identified and effectively managed. Reduces Colon Cancer Risk by Over 60% – Polyps can be removed before they develop into cancer. 20x Lower Treatment Costs – Prevents the need for expensive, advanced-stage treatments. By prioritizing early screenings and recognizing risks early, we can reduce the impact of colon cancer and improve health outcomes. Don’t wait for symptoms—early detection is the key to prevention and saving lives.
