Background: Sepsis management guidelines have been implemented in the Emergency Department, Siriraj Hospital since 2005.
Objective: Assess the impact ofsepsis resuscitation guidelines on the mortality ofpatients after implementation.
Material And Method: A prospective cohort study was conducted in the Emergency Department, Siriraj Hospital between January 12 and October 2, 2011. Patients aged older than 18 years old were included The baseline data and the extent of goal achievement were recorded The primary outcome was the 30-day mortality rate.
Results: One hundredfortyfour patients (34% severe sepsis, 66% septic shock) were included The overall 30-day mortality was 39.6%. Antibiotics were administered within I hour in 52.2% of the patients. At least I or at least 2 therapeutic goals were accomplished in 86.8% and 50.7% of patients, respectively, and the achievement of at least 2 goals was associated with lower mortality (adjusted OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.19-0.89). Two patients (1.4%) completely achieved goals within 6 hours. Respiratory failure requiring endotracheal tube insertion was associated with higher mortality (adjusted OR 3.12, 95% CI 1.32-7.38).
Conclusion: The 30-day mortality was 39.6%. The achievement of at least 2 goals was associated with lower mortality. Endotracheal tube insertion was associated with higher mortality.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a biliary tract carcinoma that is challenging to treat due to its heterogeneity and limited treatment options. Genetic alterations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathways and homologous recombination (HR) defects are common in CCA. This has prompted interest in the use of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors to treat CCA.

Background: The association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) is well-established. However, data on the impact of RA on AF recurrence postcatheter ablation (CA) remain unclear. This current study aimed to assess the impact of RA on AF recurrence after catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation.

Purpose: The use of short hydration (SH) to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity lacks substantive prospective evaluation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SH, including those with head and neck cancer (HNC) who are at higher risks of mucositis that causes diminished oral intake.
Methods: This phase II randomized noncomparative trial included patients with cancer who were scheduled to receive high-dose cisplatin (≥60 mg/m) in combination with another chemotherapy or concurrently with radiotherapy.

Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous entity including patients with different phenotypes of near normal, normal, and supernormal left ventricular (LV) function.
Objectives: To assess the value of resting LV elastance (also known as force) with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to identify HFpEF phenotypes.
Methods: In a prospective, observational, multicenter study, 2380 HFpEF patients were recruited from July 2016 to May 2024.
Background: Recent data showed an association between malnutrition and increased all-cause mortality and thromboembolic risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact of malnutrition on the clinical outcomes for patients undergoing catheter ablation for AF is still debated. Our study aimed to examine this relationship using all existing available data.
