Clinical trials

Currently, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is the main modality for renal support in critically ill patients with hemodynamic instability. Most studies have investigated the timing of RRT initiation. However, prolonged CRRT demonstrated the association of many unexpected events, such as catheter-related complications, catheter-related blood stream infection, hypotension, hypothermia, tachycardia, and atrial fibrillation. Up to now, there is a lack of evidence regarding the timing of withholding CRRT. The furosemide stress test (FST) is a tool that is easy to use and has more availability. The investigators aimed to apply FST to evaluate renal recovery compared with standard treatment in critically ill patients undergoing CRRT.

Pertussis remains a major global public health problem. In Thailand, pertussis vaccination is recommended during pregnancy at 20-32 weeks' gestation, together with routine childhood diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccination administered as a primary series at 2, 4, and 6 months and booster doses at 18 months and 4-6 years of age. TdaP2gen, a newly developed combined tetanus, diphtheria, and recombinant genetically detoxified acellular pertussis vaccine containing 2 µg pertussis antigen, has shown favorable safety and non-inferior immunogenicity compared with existing pertussis vaccines. However, data on its use in pregnant women, transplacental antibody transfer, and potential immune interference in infants remain limited. This study aims to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of TdaP2gen in pregnant women, assess antibody transfer to newborns, and investigate immune responses to tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis following primary and booster pertussis-containing vaccinations in infants and toddlers, including comparisons between whole-cell and acellular pertussis-containing vaccine schedules.

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of rectus sheath block (RSB) and transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Both techniques are regional anesthesia methods used as part of multimodal analgesia to reduce postoperative pain and opioid requirements. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a RSB or a TAPB after general anesthesia. Postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, recovery outcomes, area of sensory loss, time to first rescue analgesia, and block-related adverse events will be assessed and compared between the two groups. This study will help determine which regional anesthesia technique provides more effective postoperative analgesia for laparoscopic bariatric surgery

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a web-based exercise and cognitive training (physical-cognitive) program works to improve movements and brain function in adults with long-term stroke. It will also learn whether the program is safe and enjoyable. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the program improve walking, balance, strength, and reduce fall risk? Does the program improve cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and problem-solving? Researchers will compare the online exercise-and-cognitive training program to usual care to see if the program leads to greater improvements. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the online training group or the usual care group * If in the training group, complete the home-based program for 12 weeks. * Take part in physical and cognitive tests before and after the program

This study aims to examine the effects of low-intensity, combined physical-cognitive exercise on cognitive function of older people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and identify the mechanisms by which this exercise protocol exerts cognitive function. Older adults with MCI will be recruited to either an exercise or a control group. Low-intensity, combined physical-cognitive exercise will be prescribed to the exercise group 3 times per week for 3 months while the control group will maintain their routine lifestyle. It is hypothesized that at the end of the trial, participants in the exercise group will demonstrate significant improvement in cognitive performance and circulating biomarkers compared to baseline and the control group.

To assess the impact of preoperative anemia on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing liver resection

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of colistin compared with colistin plus fosfomycin against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii infection in Thailand. The main questions it aims to answer the following main questions: 1. Which group has better clinical response at end of treatment 2. Which group has better clinical response at 72 hours and micrological cure at 72 hours and at end of treatment
