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.
The goal of this study is to find the best method to use Wellue O2 ring to screen for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. The method that investigators use to screen for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea is oxygen desaturation index(ODI). The main questions of this study are 1. What is the best ODI to screen for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea? 2. What are the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of the study? In this study, participants are recruited from Sleep center of Thammasat prior to polysomnography. All participants in this study will 1. Undergo polysomnography according to Sleep center of Thammasat protocol 2. Wear Wellue O2 ring when undertaking polysomnography If the polysomnography is switch to PAP titration Wellue O2 ring will be taken out. Data of Oxygen data from Wellue O2 ring are collected and compared with AHI. Investigators will find the best ODI to screen for obstructive sleep apnea.
World Health Organization integrated husband involvement into reproductive health programs to carry out safe motherhood successfully and therefore it has been encouraged as a new strategy to improve maternal health since 2000. In Myanmar, maternal health intervention and education programs for safe motherhood are progressing but maternal mortality is still high. Even though sufficient evidences prove that husband can influence maternal health care service utilization during pregnancy and there by positively impact obstetric emergency, few interventions have focused on husband directly to involve and also effectiveness of husband involvement intervention on birth preparedness and complication readiness for safe motherhood are still limited in Myanmar. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the men in maternity health (MiM) intervention on male involvement in maternal health care, including its impact on knowledge about maternal health related issues, attitudes towards maternal health care and birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) practices and improving institutional delivery rates for safe motherhood.
Over-assisted mechanical ventilation (MV) is linked to respiratory muscle disuse atrophy, while under-assisted MV can lead to patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI) or respiratory muscle injuries. Both scenarios result in poor outcomes. This hypothesis aims to demonstrate the association between the degree of respiratory effort which was measured by P0.1, predicted Pmus, and predicted Δtranspulmonary pressure (ΔPL) with ventilator-free days (VFD) and 28-day mortality.
This 4-week clinical study was designed to examine the antibacterial efficacy of brushing with a 0.454% stannous fluoride toothpaste with potassium nitrate and pyrophosphate compared to a toothpaste containing 0.76% MFP (marketed as Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste) in different regions of the mouth (dental plaque, tongue, cheek, gum surface and in saliva) 12 hours post-brushing (overnight) after 2 and 4 weeks of product use.
Assessing the Efficacy of Artificial Intelligence in Left Ventricular Function Screening Using Parasternal Long Axis View Cardiac Ultrasound Video Clips ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Echocardiography serves as a fundamental diagnostic procedure for managing heart failure patients. Data from Thailand's Ministry of Public Health reveals that there is a substantial patient population, with over 100,000 admissions annually due to this condition. Nevertheless, the widespread implementation of echocardiography in this patient group remains challenging, primarily due to limitations in specialist resources, particularly in rural community hospitals. Although modern community hospitals are equipped with ultrasound machines capable of basic cardiac assessment (e.g., parasternal long axis view), the demand for expert cardiologists remains a formidable obstacle to achieving comprehensive diagnostic capabilities. Leveraging the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, proficient in the accurate prediction and processing of diverse healthcare data types, offers a promising for addressing this prevailing issue. This study is designed to assess the effectiveness of AI in evaluating cardiac performance from parasternal long axis view ultrasound video clips obtained via the smartphone application. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence in screening cardiac function from parasternal long axis view cardiac ultrasound video clips obtained through the smartphone application.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 72 participants who had moderate knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren and Lawrence grade 2-3). The patients were randomly assigned to either the robotic-assisted or gyroscopic-assisted group. Baseline characteristics, including age, body mass index, length of stay, and estimated blood loss, were recorded. The primary outcome measure was the accuracy of the hip knee angle, measured by scannogram film preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months. Secondary outcomes included functional outcomes (KOOS, Oxford knee score, EQ-5D-5L, range of motion) assessed preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months, as well as at 6 months postoperatively.
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.
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).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the capability of 3 different bedside surrogates in children who underwent cardiac surgery and were admitted in intensive care unit. These test are lactate, oxygen saturation from central venous and the carbon dioxide gap between central venous and arterial. The main questions is which one is the best prognostication for post operation poor outcomes Participants will be taken routine blood test for post cardiac care (at ICU arrival, 6, 12, and 24 hour post operation) and follow the their outcomes. There is no any intervention or drug in this research
Background: Percutaneous A1 pulley release is a cost-effective and straightforward procedure with outcomes comparable to open A1 pulley release. Postoperative pain is a prevalent concern. Corticosteroid injection is a common nonoperative treatment for trigger finger, providing favorable outcomes but associated with a notable risk of recurrence. Numerous studies have explored the combined approach of percutaneous trigger finger release with corticosteroid injection. However, to date, there is no report on early postoperative results. Objective: To conduct a comparative analysis of early postoperative outcomes between percutaneous A1 pulley release with steroid injection and percutaneous A1 pulley release alone. Study Design & Methods: This study constitutes a randomized controlled trial involving patients with trigger finger who underwent percutaneous release surgery from October 2023 to January 2024. A total of 38 patients were enrolled, with 18 assigned to the percutaneous A1 pulley release with steroid injection group and 20 to the percutaneous A1 pulley release alone group. Postoperative assessments included pain scores using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), evaluation of quality of life through the QuickDASH score (qDASH), patient satisfaction, and complications.
