Abstract : Background: The Rush Immunotherapy (RIT) protocol is a valid alternative in order to reach the maintenance phase early. However, there are scarce studies in the literature that have evaluated the safety and the efficacy of an ant RIT process in children.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and the efficacy of an ant RIT protocol and to identify the risk factors for systemic reactions (SRs) during an RIT procedure in children.
Method: A retrospective review was conducted for those children who were receiving an ant RIT procedure. The 3-day RIT protocol consisted of hourly subcutaneous injections in order to achieve a 0.5 ml maintenance dose of a 1:100 weight/ volume (wt/vol) of the Solenopsis invicta whole body extract. The safety for an RIT procedure was monitored by using the World Allergy Organization Subcutaneous Immunology Systemic Reaction Grading System. The efficacy was assessed by the reactions after a field ant re-sting.
Result: A total of 20 children who were receiving an ant RIT therapy were reviewed. The mean age was 9.5±3.07 years. There were 6 systemic reactions (SRs) from 324 injections during the RIT procedure (1.85%). All of the systemic reactions were Grade 1-2. There were no associations of SRs regarding age, gender, an atopic history, or the levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) sensitization to the ants. Among the 14 patients who experienced a field ant re-sting, 4 (28.5%) patients developed Grade 3 SRs. These Grade 3 reactions were resolved after an increase of the maintenance dose to 0.5 ml of a 1:50 wt/vol. There was a significant difference in the mean age of those children who had ant re-sting systemic reactions and those who had no reactions (6.75±0.95 year vs. 10.8±3.29, p=0.036).
Conclusion: Rush immunotherapy with ant in children is safe and it has a low occurrence of severe systemic reactions. It is an alternative treatment for those patients requiring a rapid protection.

Self-preferred route of delivery of Thai obstetricians and gynecologists (2016)
Title : Self-preferred route of delivery of Thai obstetricians and gynecologists
Researcher : Kovavisarach, E., Ruttanapan, K.
Abstract : Background: The attitude of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (OB-GYNs) towards performing cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR) together with their preferred route of delivery for themselves or their wives is considered as important responsible factors of increasing cesarean delivery.
Objective: To assess the attitudes of Thai Obstetricians and Gynecologists with regard to their self-preferred route of delivery, willingness to perform cesarean delivery on maternal request, and associated factors.
Material and Method: From July1, 2013 to September 30, 2013, a cross-sectional study was carried out of 1,950 members of The Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists who were randomized before being sent mailed questionnaires. The questionnaires requested details of the OB-GYNs’ demographic data and asked about their self-preferred route of delivery for themselves or their wives (in the case of male doctors) and their willingness to perform cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR). The questionnaires were returned via mail.
Results: Three hundred and seventy OB-GYNs (18.9%) completed and returned the questionnaires via mail. In a scenario of uncomplicated singleton cephalic presentation pregnancy at term, vaginal delivery was chosen as the most preferred route of delivery (68.9%). The significant associated factors for preferred cesarean delivery were male, age <40 years, experience in practice as OB-GYN <10 years and prior cesarean delivery. Many (53.2%) were willing to perform cesarean delivery on maternal request.
Conclusion: Most Thai Obstetricians and Gynecologists (68.9%) preferred vaginal delivery for themselves or their wives, but many (53.2%) were willing to perform cesarean delivery on maternal request.

Seroprevalence of Chikungunya and Zika virus in nonhuman primates: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2022)
Title : Seroprevalence of Chikungunya and Zika virus in nonhuman primates: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Researcher : Mongkol, N., Wang, F.S., Suthisawat, S., …Charoen, P., Boonnak, K.
Abstract : Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are mosquito-borne viruses that have caused several outbreaks worldwide. Aedes mosquitoes transmit these viruses mainly through sylvatic and urban transmission cycles. In the sylvatic cycle, nonhuman primates (NHPs) can be infected with CHIKV and ZIKV and may play an essential role as reservoirs for virus transmission. To improve our knowledge on the role of NHPs in the sylvatic cycle, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis study on the seroprevalence of CHIKV and ZIKV worldwide in NHPs. According to the PRISMA guidelines, 17 CHIKV and 16 ZIKV seroprevalence studies in NHPs from 3 online databases: PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were selected. Data were extracted, including location and study year, type of NHP, sample size, serological tests, and seropositivity. All included studies have high-quality scores, between 5 and 8, corresponding to the grading criteria. Seroprevalence estimation was pooled using the ‘meta’ package in the R statistical software. The estimated pooled seroprevalence of CHIKV and ZIKV in NHP was 17% (95%CI: 5–34, I2: 99%, p < 0.05) and 6% (95% CI: 2–12, I2: 92%, p < 0.05), respectively. Most of the NHPs tested were wild Old World monkeys. The subgroup was analyzed by continents; high seropositive CHIKV and ZIKV were found in African NHPs at 35% (95% CI 9–66.0, I2 = 100) and 16% (95% CI 1–44, I2 = 97), respectively. While NHPs in America have 7% (95% CI 0-28, I2 = 99) and 2% (95% CI 1-3, I2 = 54) against CHIKV and ZIKV. In Asia, 6% (95% CI: 5–34, I2 = 96) CHIKV seroprevalence and 7% (95% CI 0–20, I2 = 98) ZIKV seroprevalence were found in NHP. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the seroprevalence of CHIKV and ZIKV among NHPs in various regions.

Seroprevalence of Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya Viruses in Wild Monkeys in Thailand (2020)
Title : Seroprevalence of Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya Viruses in Wild Monkeys in Thailand
Researcher :Tongthainan, D., Mongkol, N., Jiamsomboon, K., …Tulayakul, P., Boonnak, K.
Abstract : Zoonotic pathogens such as arboviruses have comprised a significant proportion of emerging infectious diseases in humans. The role of wildlife species as reservoirs for arboviruses is poorly understood, especially in endemic areas such as Southeast Asia. This study aims to determine the exposure history of different macaque species from national parks in Thailand to mosquito-borne flaviviruses and alphavirus by testing the serum samples collected from 25
northern pigtailed macaques, 33 stump-tailed macaques, and 4 long-tailed macaques for the presence of antibodies against dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses by plaque reduction neutralization assay. Specific neutralizing antibodies against Dengue virus (DENV1-4) and Zika virus (ZIKV) were mainly found in stump-tailed macaques, whereas neutralizing antibody titers were not detected in long-tailed macaques and pigtailed macaques as determined by 90% plaque
reduction neutralization assay (PRNT90). One long-tailed macaque captured from the south of Thailand exhibited antibody titers against chikungunya virus (CHIKV), suggesting enzootic of this virus to nonhuman primates (NHPs) in Thailand. Encroachment of human settlements into the forest has increased the interface that exposes humans to zoonotic pathogens such as arboviruses found in monkeys. Nonhuman primates living in different regions of Thailand showed different patterns of arboviral infections. The presence of neutralizing antibodies among wild monkeys in Thailand strongly suggests the existence of sylvatic cycles for DENV, ZIKV, and CHIKV in Thailand. The transmission of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses among wild macaques may have important public health implications.

Abstract : Background: Skin prick test (SPT) or Phadiatop, a multi-allergen IgE screening test, was used as a tool for detecting aeroallergen sensitization.
Objective: To compare SPT and Phadiatop as a tool for diagnosis allergic rhinitis (AR) using the nasal provocation test (NPT) as a comparative standard.
Methods: Children aged 5-18 years with rhinitis symptoms more than 6 times in the past year were enrolled. SPT to 13 common aeroallergens, serum for Phadiatop, and NPT to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) were performed. NPT to mixed cockroach (CR) were performed in children who had CR sensitization and negative NPT to Der p. Children who had a disagreement between the result of SPT and Phadiatop or having negative results were evaluated for specific IgE (sIgE) to common aeroallergens.
Results: One hundred-forty children were enrolled with the mean age of 9.8 ± 3 years, 56% were male. Of 92 children (65.7%) with positive SPT to any aeroallergens, 88 children (95.6%) were sensitized to house dust mite (HDM). NPT showed positive results in 97 children (69.3%). Of 48 children who showed negative SPT, 4 children (8.3%) had sIgE to aeroallergens but NPT was positive in 1 child. Eighty-eight children (62.9%) had positive tests for Phadiatop and 4 (4.5%) of them had negative results for NPT to Der p. Among 52 children who had negative results for Phadiatop, 4 children (7.6%) had sIgE to aeroallergens but NPT was positive in 2 children (3.8%). SPT and Phadiatop showed 94.2% agreement: with Kappa 0.876, p < 0.001. Using NPT as a comparative standard for diagnosis for AR, SPT showed a sensitivity of 89.6% and specificity of 88.3% and Phadiatop provided the sensitivity of 88.6% and specificity of 95.3%.
Conclusions: SPT to aeroallergen and Phadiatop have good and comparable sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of AR in children.
