The Optimal Predictors of Readiness for Extubation in Low Birth Weight Infants.
Conclusion: The SBT and minute ventilation ratio in low birth weight infants were not optimal predictors of readiness for extubation. However, a further prospective study in this field with a larger number of subjects and a proper indication for extubation should be considered.

Reliability of Registration in Imageless Navigation Total Hip Arthroplasty in Semilateral Decubitus Position.
Conclusion: The reliability of registration was acceptable in abduction angle among surgeons. The reliability of registration was not acceptable only in anteversion angle between experienced (S1) and non-experienced surgeons (S3). For the surgeon with one year of experience in imageless navigation, the result of registration process was comparable to and reproducible with the experienced surgeon in both abduction and anteversion angles.

Risk Factors of Post-operative Sore Throat and Hoarseness.
Conclusion: The use of LMA reduced the incidences of both POST and PH. This conclusion is limited to selected cases and not applicable to all. Further studies should focus on possible factors to decrease the incidence of POST and PH after endotracheal intubation, which could increase patient satisfaction.

In vitro Activity of Sitafloxacin and Other Antibiotics against Bacterial Isolates from HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center, Srinakharinwirot University and Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital.
Conclusion: Sitafloxacin had more susceptible percentage to E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, and S. maltophilia compared to comparative fluoroquinolones. It should be considered an antibiotic for treatment of respiratory tract and urinary tract infections caused by the resistant strains of these bacteria with susceptible proven of in vitro susceptibility.

The Effect of Early Versus Late Amniotomy on The Course of Labor.
Conclusion: The amniotomy should not be introduced routinely as the standard labor management, because it was not proven to shorten the course of labor. The authors recommend that the women be informed about the results of the amniotomy, then the decisions were made between the women and their caregivers.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Peripheral Arterial Disease Among Thai Dialysis Patients.
Conclusion: The prevalence of PAD among long-term stable dialysis patients in Thailand was around one-tenth. The prevalence of abnormal TBI was higher than those of abnormal ABI criteria. Factors associated with PAD were increased BMI, history of CAD, and increased pulse pressure.

Clinical Course, Outcomes and Complications of Thai Pediatric Pure Type versus Mixed Type Lupus Membranous Nephritis.
Conclusion: The mixed-type LMN patients had a higher blood pressure, higher BUN and positive LE cell than those of the pure-type LMN patients. Hypertension at initial presentation can be a predictor of proliferative lesion in renal pathology. However, a proliferative lesion accompanied with LMN does not affect renal outcomes. With similar renal outcomes, the immunosuppressive with low adverse effects may be considered as a preferable treatment.
