Demographics, Management Practices and In-Hospital Outcomes: Results from the HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry.
CONCLUSION: This registry provided a detail of demographics, management practices, and in hospital outcomes of ACS patients. Door-to-needle time and door-to-balloon time were considered as suboptimal. In-hospital mortality was higher than the latest national average. Patient delay should be improved by giving more education to the general public and concerted effort to improve in-hospital time delay is warranted. These data have an impact on our patient care system and alert our team to improve patient care.

Lack of Association between IL-10 Gene Promoter Polymorphisms and Susceptible to Tuberculosis in Thai Patients.
CONCLUSION: The lack of association between common IL-10 promoter polymorphisms and TB susceptibility in this study may provide clue for better understanding of IL-10-1087A/G -819C/T -252C/A polymorphism and TB susceptibility in Thai population, which might facilitate the rationale design of vaccines. However further studies in large scales population are required for confirmation. PMID: 27276844 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet)
