Stage- and Temperature-Dependent Coleoptile Elongation Under Submergence in Thai indica Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Screening 192 Thai indica rice accessions revealed wide variation in underwater coleoptile elongation and weak correspondence between anaerobic germination and anaerobic seedling development, r=0.29. Higher temperature was associated with lower dissolved oxygen and reduced elongation. Multiple QTLs and three candidate genes were identified, but gene function and field yield benefits remain unproven.

GEDI–Sentinel Model Maps Northeast Thai Rubber at 82.63% Accuracy but Struggles With Young Plantations

This study mapped 2024 rubber distribution and age structure across Northeast Thailand using Random Forest in Google Earth Engine, combining Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, vegetation indices, and a GEDI-trained canopy-height model. Three-class rubber mapping reached 82.63% overall accuracy and about 0.84 F1; three-group age classification reached 83.39%. Plantations older than seven years dominated and were classified more reliably than young stands. The output is a regional monitoring baseline, not an error-free parcel-level decision map.

Advance-Care-Planning Training Raised Residents’ Knowledge From 7.74 to 8.65, but Had No Control Group

This mixed-methods evaluation tested an Advance Care Planning programme combining role-play, personal-value reflection, and two Circle of Learning sessions with an entire cohort of 50 first-year internal-medicine residents. Longitudinal analysis used 34 complete cases through 15 months, and 10 residents were interviewed. Knowledge rose from 7.74 to 8.65 out of 9, alongside several attitude and confidence improvements. Interviewees said role-play bridged theory and practice but identified a need for ongoing workplace support. The evidence concerns learner readiness, not observed conversation quality or patient outcomes.

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.

Patients in South Ethiopia Know How to Manage Diabetes, but Drug Shortages and Costs Undercut Self-Care

This qualitative study examined diabetes self-care in three South Ethiopian hospital clinics. Its 21 participants comprised 12 adults with type 2 diabetes and nine healthcare providers. Patients described medication, diet, physical activity, foot care, and glucose monitoring as daily work negotiated against financial pressure, drug shortages, beliefs, food costs, limited support, and health-system constraints. Patients tended to foreground structural barriers, whereas providers placed more emphasis on knowledge and forgetting advice. Continued counselling, reliable medicines, and peer support emerged as priorities, but these are interview-derived design directions rather than tested interventions.

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.

Zoonotic Risk in Rural Nan Is Not Just Behavioural: Water Scarcity, Forest Change, and Food Systems Connect Five Interfaces

Researchers examined everyday practices and conditions that could enable cross-species transmission in four rural villages in Nan Province, organising findings into five interfaces: human–animal, human–environment, human-human, animal–animal, and animal–environment. The picture is not simply one of deficient knowledge. Animal contact, butchering and food preparation, water scarcity and contamination, waste, forest change, intensified agriculture, mixed-species proximity, and multilingual communication operate as a system. Community leaders and village health volunteers were viewed as trusted messengers. The study therefore recommends education that combines knowledge, skills, practical tools, and recognition of structural limits, but it neither completed nor evaluated the final intervention.

Crustacean By-Products Hold High-Value Compounds, but ‘Green’ Extraction Still Lacks LCA and Industrial Proof

This review compares conventional acid–alkali and solvent extraction with supercritical fluids, enzymatic hydrolysis, pulsed electric fields, ultrasound, cold plasma, microwave, high-pressure processing, and deep eutectic solvents for recovering bioactives from crustacean by-products. No technology is universally optimal: conventional methods retain advantages in simplicity and maturity, while emerging methods may reduce chemicals or better preserve product quality but face equipment, cost, energy, reproducibility, and pilot-scale constraints. The paper is therefore a map of options and evidence gaps, not proof that one technology is the ‘most sustainable.’

Phetchabun Screens 97.3% for HCV; 96.4% of SVR12-Evaluable Patients Are Cured, but Transmission Elimination Is Unproven

Phetchabun’s micro-elimination programme linked fingerstick anti-HCV testing, HCV-RNA confirmation, and 12-week sofosbuvir/velpatasvir treatment through primary-care and district-hospital services across all 11 districts under universal health coverage. From 2020 to April 2026, 389,547 of 400,567 targeted people were screened (97.25%); 14,845 of 18,340 anti-HCV-reactive participants received RNA confirmation (80.94%), identifying 10,996 active infections. Of 8,961 treatment-eligible patients, 8,842 received therapy (98.67%); among 6,719 evaluated at SVR12, 6,474 were cured (96.35%). The programme demonstrates province-scale test-to-treat feasibility, but not yet the incidence or mortality reductions required for elimination.

Four Countries Have Antimicrobial-Stewardship Policies, but 16 Hospitals Average 72% Implementation and Training Lags

This study linked national policy, hospital systems, and provider behaviour in Indonesia, Nepal, Thailand, and Viet Nam during 2022–2023. It included 486 participants across 16 hospitals. All countries had antimicrobial-stewardship policies, but financing, enforcement, training, microbiology-data use, and inter-programme coordination were uneven. Hospitals averaged 72% on G-ASET, with tracking and reporting highest at 75% and training lowest at 66%. The two Thai hospitals scored 81.3% and 80.6% overall, yet both scored only 50% for training. These results identify actionable system gaps; they do not experimentally show that any intervention reduced antibiotic use, resistance, or mortality.

Twenty-Year Review Finds Zoonotic NTDs Remain Hidden in Laos and Cambodia as Diagnostics and Surveillance Stay Fragmented

The article synthesises publications and long-running surveillance at the animal–human interface in Laos and Cambodia, covering Taenia solium, Trichinella, Streptococcus suis, rickettsiae, melioidosis, hepatitis E, and Japanese encephalitis. Its recurring message is diagnostic invisibility caused by limited laboratories and fragmented human–animal–environment systems, with risks embedded in smallholder livestock, informal slaughter, raw-meat consumption, wet markets, and animal-contact occupations. It proposes scaling abattoir, animal-sentinel, market, and environmental surveillance alongside livelihood-aware risk communication. This is a narrative synthesis, not a systematic review or one national survey, so it maps patterns and gaps rather than estimating current national burden.

Malaria Epidemiology and Elimination92IMPACT SIGNAL
Regional surveillance evidence

Surveillance of 13,386 Sumatra Cases Links Imported Malaria to Mobile Populations and Elimination to District Context

Using individual surveillance records from 2019–2021, this study examined both malaria case patterns and district factors associated with elimination across Sumatra. Of 13,386 reported cases, 71.8% were Plasmodium vivax; among 11,390 investigated cases, 15.3% were classified as imported. Multilevel models identified associations with mobile populations and clinical characteristics, while district elimination was associated with higher human development, lower historical burden, and fewer endemic neighbours. These are observational surveillance associations, not causal effects of a policy.

Review of 52 Studies Finds Low but Hidden Malaria Burden Among Mobile Populations in Mekong Border and Forest Areas

This synthesis mapped malaria evidence among migrant and mobile populations in the Greater Mekong Subregion across epidemiology, access, prevention, and health-system challenges. Of 847 records, 52 studies met inclusion criteria. Reported burden was generally low but highly variable, with hidden reservoirs from asymptomatic or submicroscopic infection in border and forest settings. Structural barriers contributed to delayed diagnosis, inconsistent prevention, and reliance on informal or cross-border care. The review exposes intervention-evaluation gaps rather than proving which approach works best.
