Visual Impairment Was Associated With Nearly Threefold Higher Odds of Frailty Progression in Thai Older Adults

This retrospective cohort from the Siriraj Primary Care Unit followed 400 community-dwelling older adults, with a median age of 70 years and 76% women. Visual impairment was defined as visual acuity worse than 6/12 in the better-seeing eye, and frailty was assessed with the Thai FRAIL scale. Ordinal logistic regression found an association with transition to a worse frailty state: adjusted odds ratio 2.98 (95% CI 1.97–4.52; p

NECTIN2 Depletion Cut Migration and Invasion by About Half, but Only in One Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cell Line

This study asked whether the cell-surface adhesion molecule NECTIN2 contributes to motility and invasion in triple-negative breast cancer. The team combined public-dataset analyses with stable NECTIN2 depletion in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells. The major phenotype was confined to MDA-MB-231: migration and invasion fell by about 50%, accompanied by lower LIMK1 and cytoskeletal changes, while LIMK1 re-expression partially restored migration. The findings support a context-dependent mechanism, not a clinically validated drug target or proof that NECTIN2 inhibition prevents metastasis in patients.

Antimicrobial Stewardship92IMPACT SIGNAL
Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

A Smartphone Antimicrobial Prescribing App Did Not Outperform Paper Guidelines Across Six Lao Hospitals

Across a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial in six Lao hospitals, a smartphone version of national antimicrobial prescribing guidelines plus one stewardship training session did not significantly improve adherence over paper versions after adjustment for time, clustering, and confounders. Inpatient adherence was 25.6% versus 17.0% before adjustment, but the adjusted odds ratio was 1.26 (95% CI 0.8–1.9; p=0.276); outpatient results were also null. The finding argues for sustained, multifaceted stewardship rather than guideline access alone.

Model-development and benchmark evidence

Two-Stage Model Classifies 46 Produce and Vegetable-Dish Categories at 92.43% Top-1 Accuracy, but Lacks On-Device Validation

The study developed a two-stage ThaiSook pipeline: a binary model first rejects non-produce images, after which a multiclass model identifies 43 fruit and vegetable types and three vegetable-heavy dishes. The 40,595-image dataset contained 11,210 labelled and 29,385 unlabelled user images. With label smoothing and temperature scaling, the pipeline reached 92.43% top-1, 94.56% top-3, and 94.91% top-5 accuracy; Noisy Student raised top-1 accuracy to 92.59%. However, results rely on one train–test split, without real on-device testing or evidence that classification improves dietary measurement or health outcomes.

Lower-Income Asia-Pacific Settings Reported Full Out-of-Pocket Cost for 95.2% of High-Benefit Medicine–Country Pairs

This predefined regional analysis of ESMO's 2023 global survey covered 20 Asia-Pacific countries and compared WHO essential cancer medicines with high-benefit medicines under ESMO-MCBS. The findings show that marketing availability does not equal reliable access: reimbursement and patient out-of-pocket burden remain major bottlenecks. Access was generally stronger in high-income economies, while middle- and lower-income groups faced large gaps, particularly for high-benefit medicines. The evidence is expert-reported and cross-sectional, and income-group aggregates must not be presented as Thailand-specific estimates.

Migrant TB Patients Chose Months-Long Sanatorium Care to Pursue Cure Amid Cost, Transport, and Documentation Barriers

This multi-perspective qualitative study at the SMRU tuberculosis sanatorium in Mae Ramat, Tak Province, examined why migrants choose long residential treatment. It included 37 unique patients—33 who chose the sanatorium and four who chose community DOTS—plus five health workers. Three themes organized the findings: desire for cure, barriers to diagnosis and treatment, and community and organizational support.

Perspectives on the forest bioeconomy: insights of stakeholders from cases in Central Europe and the Mekong region

This comparative study examines how 336 purposively recruited respondents in Czechia, Slovakia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam understand and assess the forest bioeconomy. Respondents generally reported stronger familiarity with sustainable forest management and the circular economy than with the bioeconomy itself. Perceptions also varied across country cases, particularly within the Mekong region. A binary logistic regression identified associations between high perceived implementation and country, age, education, understanding of policy aims, support for implementation and positive assessments of forest-industry implementation. These findings describe perceptions within the recruited sample rather than national populations, and the reported associations should not be interpreted as causal effects.

Family cancer caregiver resilience: scoping review

This Joanna Briggs Institute–guided scoping review synthesised 50 studies of resilience among family caregivers across cancer types and stages of care. The evidence was organised into risk factors, protective factors, and psychosocial or functional outcomes. Measurement tools varied substantially, and few interventions designed to strengthen family resilience had been tested empirically.

From Control to Elimination: Making the End of Dental Caries Thinkable

Using the Dahlem Framework, this commentary distinguishes caries control, elimination, and eradication. Global eradication is judged conceptually unattainable because caries has no single agent, interruptible transmission cycle, vaccine, or universal incidence surveillance. Elimination as a stable end to caries as a public-health problem in a defined population is presented as a plausible, measurable goal.

From scarcity to impulse: how quantity and time constraints drive impulsive buying in blind box consumption in Thailand

A PLS-SEM analysis of 500 blind-box consumers in Thailand found that time scarcity was the strongest trigger of fear of missing out. Perceived hedonic excitement had almost twice the influence of FOMO on anticipatory arousal, which was strongly associated with impulsive buying. Self-control did not significantly moderate that relationship.

Mutual gains or hidden strains? Green HRM, role overload and work intensification in an emerging economy

Two-wave data from 306 employee–supervisor dyads in Thai firms reveal a dual effect of green HRM. It supports green behaviour by strengthening self-efficacy, but can also suppress it through role overload. Prevention focus intensified the overload pathway, while promotion focus did not amplify efficacy-based gains as expected.

Knowledge of inorganic nitrate dietary survey-2 (KINDS-2): a multinational cross-sectional study of nitrate knowledge, beliefs and purchasing behaviours in the general population and healthcare professionals

KINDS-2 surveyed 2,970 members of the public in the UK, USA, and Australia and 498 health professionals across 42 countries. Knowledge of dietary nitrate was low in both cohorts. Health professionals scored higher on the harmonised index, but identifying nitrate-rich foods remained a central weakness. Most respondents were willing to consume such foods when supported by evidence.
