Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity incidence,clinical characteristics, and outcomesafter allergological evaluation: A multi-disciplinary protocol from tertiary hospital, Thailand
Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity reaction (POH) is an immediate hypersensitivity reaction during an anesthesiologist monitored procedure. We report data of clinically-suspected POH (csPOH) patients undergoing an allergist-performed unified diagnostic workup algorithm for POH.
Humoral and cellular immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern induced by heterologous CoronaVac/ChAdOx-1 versus homologous ChAdOx-1 vaccination in the elderly
The concept of heterologous vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 infection has been adopted in Thailand with limited data on the induction of humoral and cellular immunity, particularly the CoronaVac/ChAdOx-1 (CoVac/ChAd) regimen in the elderly.
The validity and reliability of a Thai version of the Angioedema Control Test: Which recall period is preferable?
The Angioedema Control Test (AECT) is a questionnaire that monitors disease control in patients with angioedema, with a recall period of 4 weeks (AECT-4wk) or 3 months (AECT-3mo).
Humoral SARS-CoV-2 immunogenicity wanes 3 months after heterologous inactivated vaccine followed by ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 in autoimmune rheumatic diseases
Alongside vaccine hesitancy, impaired and waning immunity in autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) are barriers to immunization. The timeframe of immunity waning in ARD remains unclear.
The association between MTHFR polymorphism, dietary methyl donors, and childhood asthma and atopy
Studies investigating the genetic association of the C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genotype and dietary methyl donors with asthma and atopy are limited, and have variable results.
Improving cytokine-induced killer cell expansion using a gas-permeable culture method for clinical-scale production
Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells are a heterogeneous group of immune cells that exert potent MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity toward various cancer cells in both solid and hematological malignancies.
