Aim: To identify risk factors associated with and evaluate algorithms for predicting Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) cervical infections in women attending family planning clinics in Thailand.
Methods: Eligible women were recruited from family planning clinics from all regions in Thailand. The women were followed at 3-month intervals for 15-24 months.
Objective: To estimate the incidence of abnormal cervical cytology by ThinPrep Pap-tests and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in young adult reproductive-aged Thai women.
Method: A total of 1254 women distributed in all regions of Thailand were monitored from 2002 through 2004. Women were screened for abnormal cervical cytology using the ThinPrep method every 6 months.
Objective: To determine risk factors for incident bacterial vaginosis (BV) in young Thai women.
Study Design: Prospective data from a cohort of 1522 women aged 18 to 35 years, who were enrolled in a study of hormonal contraception and HIV acquisition, were used to evaluate potential risk factors for BV, as diagnosed by Amsel criteria.
Results: The median prevalence of BV from 3 to 24 months of follow-up visits was 2.
Objectives: To summarize the experience and evaluate the performance of the Hat Yai maternal serum screening (MSS) program.
Setting: The Hat Yai MSS program between 16 February 2003 and 11 March 2004.
Material And Method: The uptake of screening was 999 in 1,040 women (96.
Objective: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of Pueraria mirifica (Kwao Keur Kao), phytoestrogen, for the alleviation of climacteric symptoms.
Material And Method: Perimenopausal women attending with climacteric symptoms, such as hot flushes and night sweats, were invited to join the present study, conducted at the Menopausal Clinic, Hat Yai Regional Hospital. The patients were voluntarily enrolled and randomly received the raw material of Pueraria mirifica, oral 50 and 100 mg capsule, once daily for six months, as an open-label study.
Background: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, AMPLICOR, Roche Diagnostics, were shown to be an acceptable and sensitive method of detecting Chlamydia trachomatis infection. The PCR test's ability to evaluate different specimen types is worth determining, as well as the acceptability to Thai women of the self-collection of samples.
Methods: Of the 1011 subjects interviewed, 953/1011 subjects (94.
Gestational age determination and prevention of HIV perinatal transmission.
Int J Gynaecol Obstet
February 2006
Objective: To compare different methods of gestational age (GA) measurement for ensuring effective zidovudine (ZDV) prophylaxis to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
Methods: For 1398 HIV-infected women enrolled in a perinatal prevention trial, gestation durations were calculated based on GA estimated using ultrasound (US), date of last menstruation period (LMP), first fundal height (FH(1)), and a specific algorithm was developed to provide a "reference" GA. The performance of each GA estimate was evaluated by the percentage of women who would have received > or =8 weeks ZDV, if prophylaxis was initiated at 28 weeks.
Objectives: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of Pueraria mirifica in the treatment of vasomotor symptoms.
Design: Open-label study.
Setting: Hat Yai Regional Hospital, Thailand.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and acceptability of a seven-day, transdermal estradiol patch, in the treatment of menopausal symptoms.
Design: Open-label trial.
Setting: Hat Yai Regional Hospital, Thailand.
