Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Modeling of Oral Levofloxacin.
Conclusion: The population PKs of levofloxacin in the present study were similar to the values obtained from the previous study. Both 500 mg qd and 750 mg qd of oral levofloxacin dosage regimens had a high probability of achieving optimal impact against S. pneumoniae, but only the 750 mg qd dosage regimen achieved optimal exposure against Klebsiella spp. PMID: 29947489 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet)

Bioactivities of Ethanolic Extracts of Three Parts (Wood, Nutmeg and Mace) from Myristica fragrans Houtt.
Conclusion: The extracts obtained from wood of M. fragrans showed high anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities but moderate anti-oxidant. The extracts of nutmeg and mace presented high anti-oxidant and anti-allergic activities but less antiinflammatory activity. Therefore, extract of wood should be selected for treatment of diseases that related with inflammation while the extracts of nutmeg and/or mace should be used as an antioxidant. Finally, extracts of all 3 parts of M. fragrans could be used for allergy-related diseases because all parts showed potent activity in anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant...

Normal Measurement of Diameters of the Common Bile Ducts in Different Aged Groups.
Conclusion: Diameter of CBD shows a considerable increase with age. The largest diameter of the CBD is up to 6.4 mm in patients who less than 60 years. An upper limit of 8 mm appears reasonable after the age of 60. PMID: 29926694 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet)

Anti-inflammatory Activities of Erythrina variegata Bark Ethanolic Extract.
Conclusion: The ethanolic extracts of E. variegata bark showed higher inhibitory effect on PGE2 as acute inflammation than inhibitory effect on Nitric oxide production and TNF-α release representing chronic inflammation. This study thus supports the use of E. variegata bark for treatment of inflammation-related diseases by Thai traditional medicine.

The Possibility of Developing Screening Criteria for Patients Suspected Multiple Myeloma (MM) at Thammasat University Hospital.
Conclusion: Among many factors those are the common presentation of MM, there were no factor or combination of factors that shown statistically significant to predict the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. However, we would suggest thinking of MM in elderly patients who have bone pain or osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, and azothemia or renal failure.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Seroconversion After 20 Mg versus 40 mg Intramuscular Hepatitis B Virus Vaccination in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3.
Conclusion: Seroconversion rates of the two groups were not significantly different after completion of HBV vaccination, but only patients in the group receiving the double dose were able to maintain seroconversion 6 months later. The proper hepatitis B vaccination for patients with CKD stage 3 with negative makers of HBV should be immunization with a four-dose regimen using 40 μg of vaccine.
