Abstract : Background. Inappropriate empiric antimicrobials could be a major cause of unfavorable mortality rates in co-morbid patients. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and impact of first-dose and 24-hour inappropriate antimicrobials on mortality rates of bacteremic septic patients. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was employed. Case record forms of patients diagnosed as sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock with positive hemoculture during 2009 were retrieved from the medical wards, Siriraj Hospital. Demographic data, antimicrobial use, types of bacteria isolated from blood and susceptibilities, patients’ comorbidities, 28-day and overall mortality rates were collected and analyzed. Results. There were 229 cases, mean age (SD) of 63.5 (17.2) years and mean (SD) APACHE II score of 24.7 (6.8). The prevalence of first-dose and 24-hour inappropriate antimicrobials was 29.7% and 25.3%, respectively. The 28-day and overall mortality rates between first-dose inappropriate and appropriate antimicrobial were 67.6% versus 60.2% () and 75.0% versus 68.3% (), consequently. Patients with septic shock and inappropriate first-dose antimicrobials significantly had higher 28-day mortality rate (61.6% versus 41.9%; ). Conclusion. Higher mortality rates in bacteremic septic patients were substantially associated with inappropriate first-dose antimicrobials and 3-hour delayed antimicrobial administration after sepsis diagnosis.

Abstract : This study focuses on the impacts of climate change on rainfall erosivity in the Huai Luang watershed, Thailand. The multivariate climate models (IPCC AR5) consisting of CCSM4, CSIRO-MK3.6.0 and MRI-CGCM3 under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios are analyzed. The Quantile mapping method is used as a downscaling technique to generate future precipitation scenarios which enable the estimation of future rainfall erosivity under possible changes in climatic conditions. The relationship between monthly precipitation and rainfall erosivity is used to estimate monthly rainfall erosivity under future climate scenarios. The assessment compared values of rainfall erosivity during 1982–2005 with future timescales (i.e., the 2030s, 2050s, 2070s and 2090s). The results indicate that the average of each General Circulation Model (GCM) combination shows a rise in the average annual rainfall erosivity for all four future time scales, as compared to the baseline of 8302 MJ mm ha−1 h−1 year−1, by 12% in 2030s, 24% in 2050s, 43% in 2070s and 41% in 2090s. The magnitude of change varies, depending on the GCMs (CCSM4, CSIRO-MK3.6.0, and MRI-CGCM3) and RCPs with the largest change being 82.6% (15,159 MJ mm ha−1 h−1 year−1) occurring under the MRI-CGCM3 RCP8.5 scenario in 2090s. A decrease in rainfall erosivity has been found, in comparison to the baseline by 2.3% (8114 MJ mm ha−1 h−1 year−1) for the CCSM4 RCP4.5 scenario in 2030s and 2.6% (8088 MJ mm ha−1 h−1 year−1) for the 2050s period. However, this could be considered uncertain for future rainfall erosivity estimation due to different GCMs. The results of this study are expected to help development planners and decision makers while planning and implementing suitable soil erosion and deposition control plans to adapt climate change in the Huai Luang watershed.

Abstract : Lemongrass or pandan leaf extracts were used separately to improve the flavor of soy ice cream. Lemongrass or pandan leaf extracts with water in concentrations of 10: 100, 15: 100, and 20: 100 w/w were examined using sensory evaluation for the best flavor acceptance. The best ratio was selected to spray dry using maltodextrin as the drying medium at various concentrations (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% w/w). A ranking preference test was used to determine the flavor of the soy ice cream. Threshold testing was used to determine the sensorial quality of soy isolate protein mixed with both herb extracts, and soy ice cream mixed with both herb extracts. The flavor compound was analyzed by using headspace, solid-phase microextraction, gas chromatography, mass spectrophotometry (HSSPME-GC-MS). The best concentration of fresh lemongrass or pandan leaf extracts for improving the sensorial flavor of soy ice cream was 10: 100 (w/w). The optimum quantity of maltodextrin for spray drying was 2%(w/w). The threshold values of fresh and powdered lemongrass extracts that could mask the beany flavor in soy protein isolate solution and soy ice cream were lower than those of fresh and powdered pandan leaf extracts. The beany flavor in soy protein isolate solution and soy ice cream was mainly composed of hexanal, pentanal, benzaldehyde, 2-pentyl-furan and 1-octen-3-ol. The flavor compounds in pandan leaf extract were 2-acetyl-1-pyroline and 3-methyl-2 (5H)-furanone, while those of lemongrass extract were β-myrcene, α-pinene, 3-carene, neral, geranial and geraniol. From the results of HS-SPME-GC-MS, the beany flavor was masked by these extracts. This indicated that lemongrass and pandan leaf extracts could mask the beany flavor and improve the sensorial quality of soy ice cream.

In vitro antiplatelet and anticoagulant activity of indigenous vegetables from Southern Thailand (2021)
Title : In vitro antiplatelet and anticoagulant activity of indigenous vegetables from Southern Thailand
Researcher : Sukati, S., Khobjai, W.

Abstract : Objective: Epidemiological studies have indicated that diets rich in fruits and vegetables help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, data about the antithrombotic activity of local vegetables is rare. The objective of this study was to evaluate antiplatelet and anticoagulant activity in indigenous vegetables with high phenolic compounds collected from Southern Thailand.
Methods: Five selected indigenous vegetables were crudely extracted by distilled water and 80% methanol. The extracts were screened for in vitro antiplatelet and anticoagulant activity at a concentration of 10 μg/μl. The antiplatelet activity was measured by inhibition of platelet adhesion to collagen and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, while the anticoagulant activity was assessed by the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) tests.
Results: Among the selected vegetables, the extracts of mon-pu (Glochidion perakense Hook.f.) and young cashew leaves (Anacardium occidentale L.) showed high antithrombotic properties. The highest antithrombotic activity was observed in the methanolic extract of mon-pu, which showed
92.79±0.78% of platelet adhesion inhibition, 102.9±1.53% of platelet aggregation inhibition, and a prolonged APTT assay (48.92±0.94 s). The prolonged APTT but normal PT results suggested that the extract could affect factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII of the intrinsic coagulation pathway.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated antiplatelet and anticoagulation properties of indigenous vegetables from Southern Thailand. The multipotential effects of mon-pu extracts on antithrombosis evidently suggest that mon-pu can be considered as an excellent nutraceutical option in the prevention of thrombosis-related CVDs caused by different mechanisms.

Infection prevention and control in Asia: Current evidence and future milestones (2017)
Title : Infection prevention and control in Asia: Current evidence and future milestones
Researcher : Apisarnthanarak, A., Mundy, L.M., Tantawichien, T., Leelarasamee, A.
Abstract : The Asia-Pacific region is a geographic source for emerging infectious diseases, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms (MDROs) and pathogens with pandemic potential. Risks for emerging infectious diseases in this geographic region are complex and are presumed to include ecological, socioeconomic, and technological processes favorable to microbial transmission dynamics. In resource-limited settings, relative to resource-adequate settings, there continues to be a paucity of data in support of infection prevention and control, and patient safety interventions to ensure that regional, if not national, healthcare systems work effectively to improve infection prevention and control interventions. In addition, several viral pandemics and annual influenza strains have originated in the Asia-Pacific region, which, together, has global implications for population health.
