There are about 3696 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Thailand. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event. The aim is to evaluate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin, given once daily on top of other classes of SoC, on CV death and HF events.
Severe traumatic brain injury with a decrease in cerebral oximetry is associated with multiple impaired systemic microcirculations, more morbidities, and a higher mortality rate. When using the brain as an index organ, interventions to improve brain oxygen delivery may have systemic benefits for these patients.
Kawasaki disease (KD) is currently the leading cause of acquired heart diseases in children in developed countries. Cardiac involvement is the main determinant of the long-term prognosis of these patients, as coronary aneurisms (CAAs) may lead to ischemic heart disease and even sudden death. The current standard of care for KD has consistently reduced CAAs frequency from 25-30% to about 5%. Unfortunately, 10-20% of KD patients results resistant to standard treatment leading to a major risk of cardiac complications. Thus, scoring systems have been constructed in order to identify patients likely to be resistant to IVIG and who may benefit from more aggressive initial therapy. Different scoring scales developed by Kobayashi, Egami et Sano had shown a good sensitivity (77-86%) and specificity (67-86%) in predicting IVIG unresponsiveness in Japanese populations. However, their predictive value was not confirmed by subsequent studies in different ethnic populations. Recently, the French Kawanet group have proposed a IVIG unresponsiveness score that provided good sensitivity and acceptable specificity in a non-Asian KD population even if it was not subsequent validated by an external study. In our study population, the achievement of specificity and sensitivity values for both scores consistent with those reported by the original studies (sensitivity 70% and specificity 80% for Kobayashi and sensitivity 77% and specificity 60% for Kawanet), will be considered a success.
Women often face common cancers like ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers. Improvements in cancer detection and treatment mean more women survive. However, survivors can encounter challenges like ongoing pain, treatment complications, and fertility issues. Treating these cancers often involves surgeries that might include removing ovaries or using pelvic radiation. This can trigger menopause in younger women, causing problems like vaginal dryness, itching, and urinary issues. Women who've gone through menopause often deal with these symptoms, affecting their daily lives, confidence, and intimate relationships. Though treatments are available, lack of awareness, embarrassment, and not discussing these issues with doctors can make managing them difficult. The main treatment for these symptoms is using vaginal estrogen, but it might not be suitable for some cancer survivors. Non-hormonal options like lubricants and moisturizers are alternatives. This study in Thailand aiming to explore how common these issues are among gynecological cancer survivors, their feelings about it, and how it affects their quality of life.
The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to examine the effects of a venous thromboembolism prevention program, or "5E" program, on the rates of venous thromboembolism in patients with spinal cord disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower rates of venous thromboembolism compared to those receiving the usual care? - Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower scores of venous thromboembolism signs and symptoms compared to those receiving the usual care? - Will the average thigh and calf circumferences of participants before and after receiving the 5E program be different? Participants in the intervention group will receive the 5E program, including - Education: health education regarding venous thromboembolism prevention - Elevation: leg elevation of 10-20 degrees - Exercise: ankle exercises - Enough fluid: adequate fluid uptake - Early application of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC): IPC use within 48 hours after admission
This is a prospective multicenter study with patients with delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for NPC. Patients enrolled are randomly divided equally into the observation group and the control group. All patients receive conventional care, and the observation group received IOE while the control group received NGT for enteral nutrition support. Baseline information (demographics, medical history, etc.), nutritional status at admission and after treatment, depression, dysphagia, and quality of life (QOL) after treatment as well as adverse events are compared.
Today, there are many commercial kits for detecting BCR-ABL fusion transcripts. The QXDx™ BCR-ABL %IS kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) is the first ddPCR-based in vitro diagnostics (IVD) product with the US Food and Drug Administration clearance and European Conformity (CE) mark which launched in 2017. Dr. PCR™ BCR-ABL1 Major IS Detection Kit (Optolane, South Korea) is one of CE-IVD commercial kits based on digital RT-PCR. Both commercial kits are digital PCR-based, also evaluated their correlation, pros and cons in order for users to select a reagents kit that are appropriate for themselves.
To compare efficacy of cetylated fatty acid with placebo for reducing postoperative pain after unilateral TKA. The hypothesis is topical cetylated fatty acid can mitigate postoperative pain after TKA.
BACKGROUND: Data on the awareness of the need to evaluate iron status and IDA prevalence in acute UGIB are limited. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the rate of evaluation of iron status and prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and the associated factors in patients with anemia hospitalized for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
Research Question: Does participation in a social support program have an impact on the Perinatal Grief Scale of women who experience pregnancy loss through abortion? Research hypothesis 1. The grief scores from pregnancy loss among women who had to terminate their pregnancies in the group receiving social support program were lower than those in the group receiving standard nursing care. 2. The grief scores from pregnancy loss among women who had to terminate their pregnancies after receiving the social support program were lower than those before receiving the social support program. Primary Objectives: To study the grief and sorrow resulting from the loss of a fetus due to pregnancy termination in women who have undergone social support programs, in comparison to those who have received regular nursing care. Secondary Objectives: 1. To investigate the grief and sorrow resulting from the loss of a fetus due to pregnancy termination after receiving social support programs compared to before receiving such programs. 2. To examine the grief and sorrow following pregnancy termination before returning home and one month after miscarriage. 3. To explore other outcomes of pregnancy termination, such as complete abortion, uterine curettage, and post-miscarriage complications.
