Effect of fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine combination tablet on nasal obstruction in patients with allergic rhinitis using rhinomanometry: A randomized controlled trial
A fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine combination tablet (F/P) is an optimal product for nasal obstruction. It contains fexofenadine hydrochloride, a histamine H1-receptor antagonist for sneezing and rhinorrhea and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, an α-adrenergic agonist. The effect of an antihistamine-decongestant on nasal obstruction has been demonstrated in previous studies, but onset of action and efficacy data on nasal obstruction are limited.
Allergic contact dermatitis to topical medicaments: Revisited
Allergic reaction to topical drugs varies depending on use and availability of topical drugs and self-medication.
Social restriction versus herd immunity policies in the early phase of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: A mathematical modelling study
Two main strategies to cope with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic—lockdown (social restriction) and non-lockdown (herd immunity plan)—have been implemented in several countries.
Interaction of the TLR4 rs1927911 polymorphism with house dust mite sensitization in allergic rhinitis with its prognosis
Sensitization to the house dust mite (HDM) plays important roles in the development of allergic rhinitis (AR). Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a key initiator of the innate immune system upon exposure to environmental factors.
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors in Thai patients with multiple myeloma
Natural killer (NK) cells have been implicated in the immune response against multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) regulate NK cell activity by recognizing specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I as ligands.
The validity and reliability of the Thai version of the asthma control test

Risk factors of food sensitization in young children with atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic and relapsing skin disease in children and food allergies have been well documented in one-third of children. However, there are limit data about the risk factors of food sensitization in children with AD.
Eight years of follow-up experience in children with mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease and review of the literature
Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency, caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria or Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine and characterized by severe diseases in childhood.
