Background Context: The Spine Oncology Study Group Outcomes Questionnaire version 2.0 (SOSGOQ2.0) is a spinal metastasis (SM)-specific quality of life (QoL) questionnaire that was previously reported to have good reliability and validity. There is currently no Thai version of the SOSGOQ 2.0. (TH-SOSGOQ2.0).
Purpose: To assess the psychometric properties of the TH-SOSGOQ 2.0.
Study Design/setting: Cross-sectional study. Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University.
Patient Sample: Patients who were confirmed diagnosis of metastatic spinal disease, age 18 to 75 years, and having already undergone surgery and/or radiotherapy for the treatment of spinal metastasis.
Outcome Measures: Validity and reliability of the TH-SOSGOQ 2.0 to assess QoL in Patients with SM.
Methods: Using the forward-backward translation technique, the SOSGOQ2.0 was translated into Thai language to create the TH-SOSGOQ2.0. SM patients were prospectively enrolled and evaluated for patient QoL using both the TH-SOSGOQ2.0 and the EQ-5D-5L (Thai version) at baseline and 3 months after treatment. Construct validity was assessed using multi-trait scaling analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation with EQ-5D-5L. Test-retest reliability was assessed in a subgroup of patients who took the TH-SOSGOQ2.0 two times one week apart.
Results: Sixty-eight patients (mean age: 57 years; 30 males, 38 females) were included. The Cronbach's alpha values for the total score, physical function, neurological function, pain, mental health, social function, and post-therapy domains were 0.87, 0.89, 0.91, 0.84, 0.82, 0.75, and 0.85, respectively. Good reliability was demonstrated (interclass correlation coefficient range: 0.70-0.84), except for the social function domain (0.60). Regarding concurrent validity, the TH-SOSGOQ2.0 domains demonstrated moderate to good correlation with the corresponding EQ-5D-5L 9 (Thai version) domains (range: -0.32 to -0.78). Physical function was the most well-correlated domain with the EQ-5D-5L (Thai version) (-0.77).
Conclusions: TH-SOSGOQ2.0 demonstrated good reliability and validity for assessing QoL in Thai SM patients.

Purpose: To translate and culturally adapt the Core Outcome Measures Index for the back (COMI-back) into Thai and to evaluate its psychometric properties in Thai-speaking patients with low back pain (LBP).
Methods: The translation process followed a standardized forward-backward method with two independent translators, followed by synthesis and back-translation. An expert committee reviewed the translations for cultural and conceptual equivalence.

Introduction: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) represents a prevalent neurological complication affecting millions of patients globally. This clinical investigation evaluated the therapeutic efficacy and safety profile of a novel transdermal medical cannabis formulation (THC:CBD:CBN) in treating painful DPN of the lower extremities.
Methods: This phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted at Don Chan Hospital, Thailand, enrolling 100 participants over a 12-week intervention period.

Taxonomic classification of viruses is essential for understanding their evolution. Genomic classification of viruses at higher taxonomic ranks, such as order or phylum, is typically based on alignment and comparison of amino acid sequence motifs in conserved genes. Classification at lower taxonomic ranks, such as genus or species, is usually based on nucleotide sequence identities between genomic sequences.

Background: The Royal College of Physicians of Thailand (RCPT) published a Clinical Practice Guideline on Pharmacologic Therapy of Dyslipidemia for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Prevention in 2016. The availability of newer classes of medications for dyslipidemia, supported by extensive clinical research findings, indicates a significant need for the updating of the existing clinical practice guideline.
Objectives: To serve as guidelines on the management of dyslipidemia for Thai adults.
The health-related quality of life in patients with dry eye syndrome: a cross-sectional study in Thailand.

Background: Dry eye syndrome (DES) is common but lack of data in quality of life (QoL) of DES patients in Thailand. The primary outcome of this study was to determine QoL and health utility in patients of DES by EuroQol 5-domain (EQ-5D) of the 5-level version (5 L) instrument. The secondary outcome was comparison of the utility in the patients of DES classified by severity and causes including the autoimmune and non-autoimmune diseases.
