There are about 3709 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.
Lung surgery, open aortic surgery, TEVAR, and EVAR are major operations that carry a higher incidence of perioperative mortality and complications compare to other surgery. The study of the incidence of mortality and complications will help the hospital to benchmark with the others. Also the study of the risk factors of mortality and major complications will help to improve the patients' outcomes.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and feasibility of blood-stage controlled human P. vivax malaria infection (CHMI) in healthy adult Thai volunteers through experimental injection of cryopreserved P. vivax infected erythrocytes, and to choose the optimal inoculation dose for future P. vivax CHMI studies. In this study, blood-stage CHMI will be conducted in 8 volunteers per inoculum stock who will each be infected with P. vivax by experimental injection with cryopreserved P. vivax infected erythrocytes, which were collected from the controlled human Plasmodium vivax malaria infection model through experimental sporozoite infection in Thai adults (NCT04083508) . There are currently 2 stocks of inocula from 2 volunteers in the NCT04083508 study, which have differing quantities and stages of parasites. The total number of volunteers of this study will be up to 16 (8 volunteers per inocula stock). The volunteers will be monitored closely as in-patients in the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, and will be treated according to the Research Proposal. This study is funded by the UK Wellcome Trust. The grant reference number are Oxford/MORU: 212336/Z/18/Z and 212336/Z/18/A, and Mahidol University: 212336/A/18/Z and 212336/A/18/A.
This study explored the effects of self-compassion intervention on diabetes distress and self-compassion.
This study was a randomized controlled trial to investigate the immune response of influenza vaccines when doses were increased. and a second vaccination together with an increase in the amount of vaccine in patients with chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis
Fluid responsive is defined as increasing in Cardiac output or Stroke volume by 10-15% after fluid challenge. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is associated with lower left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) resulting in a less cardiac output increment after fluid challenge. However, Left ventricular diastolic function indicated by the Mitral E/e' ratio from transthoracic echocardiography, was rarely studied for fluid responsiveness evaluation.
This study aims to evaluate alternative dosing regimens of single-agent belantamab mafodotin in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) to determine if an improved overall benefit/risk profile can be achieved by modifying the belantamab mafodotin dose, schedule, or both.
The glucose-containing fluid was preferred for maintenance fluid in pediatric surgery to prevent hypoglycemic events. This practice can lead to intraoperative hyperglycemia which can induce osmotic diuresis and consequently dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. As an anesthesiologist, the use of glucose-containing fluid should be reconsidered to avoid these undesirable effects in pediatric surgery. Our study aims to identify an appropriate use of 5% dextrose containing solution during intraoperative period in children (2 age groups: 1-2 vs 3-5 years old) that can prevent glucose and lipid mobilization without causing hypo/hyperglycemia and provide adequate fluid maintenance in the context of hospitals in Thailand
Plantar heel pain (PHP), normally known as plantar fasciitis, is a common encountered musculoskeletal problem in the foot that can cause activities limitation, difficulty, and discomfort especially while standing and walking. It involves pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia, which runs across the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to toes. Approximately 10% of the American population have inferior heel pain in their lifetime, and 80% in these patients were diagnosed as the PHP. According to Sullivan's study, they identified the musculoskeletal factors in PHP and found that the ankle evertors, peroneus brevis and longus muscles, and toe flexors, flexor hallucis longus and brevis muscles, flexor digitorum longus and brevis muscles were weaker than the normal. Moreover, previous studies reported that the patients with PHP frequently have weakness of the tibialis posterior muscle. Since the presence of PHP involved with the deviation of lower-extremity biomechanics, foot orthoses have been the common intervention used as a part of the conservative treatment. The previous cadaveric study provided helpful information regarding the mechanism of foot orthoses; the researchers explained that foot orthoses could reduce plantar fascia strain during stance phase by lifting the medial longitudinal arch and decreasing abnormal foot pronation. Therefore, custom-fitted orthoses should be used to provide individual comfort, maintain the height of medial longitudinal arch, and also protect the excessive tensile strain of the plantar fascia. Therefore, the present study interested to compare the effectiveness of home based strengthening exercise program and the low-cost CFO on pain intensity, foot function, and lower-extremity biomechanics during walking in patients with PHP.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) including patients on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients. represents the special subgroups of patients that required protection during the Severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic .Since COVID-19 is associated with severe morbidity and mortality in these particular subgroup of patients, the main strategies is proper and rapid vaccination. CKD patients usually have a reduced immune responses, vaccination in these group of patients usually require higher dosage and more frequent dose since the vaccine response is short-lived and less response especially in dialysis patients5 .In patients with normal renal function,the immunity is durable but with modest declines at 6-8months. One study showed a linear decline in IgG in dialysis patients for up to 3months , but there are otherwise limited data. Previous reports of the vaccination in CKD patient involved mainly the mRNA vaccines. The recent reports of seroconversion rate dialysis patients receiving two doses of BNT 162b2 vaccine (Pfizer BioNtech) was lower than in control. In Thailand, the main vaccines available are Coronavac (Sinovac Life Science, Beijing, China) and ChadOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford-Astra Zeneca) which was dispensed all over the country since April 2021. Data of the efficacy and safety of these vaccines in these patient groups is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study is to measure the antibody and cellular responses in CKD patients including those with dialysis therapy and kidney transplantation and monitor the adverse events after the first and second doses of after vaccination. The incidence rate of Sars-COV2 infection post vaccination was also observed.
The aim of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of AZD1222 for prevention of COVID-19 in immunocompromised adults.
