To Read Abstract Booklet 2 16th ASCoN CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP WELCOME ADDRESS Dear Colleagues and friends We are very pleased to welcome you all to Chiang Mai and to the 16th Asian Spinal Cord Network (ASCoN) conference and workshop. This is the second time that we, the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, host the ASCoN conference. The first time was back in 2003 when we firstly used the name of “ASCoN” for the 3rd ASCoN conference, together with the 4th Chiang Mai SCI workshop. Since then, we have agreed to meet each year and to share our experience in the management of spinal cord injury (SCI) in Asia, especially low and middle income countries, and also to learn from and with our good friends from Europe, Australia and America. This year the theme is “sharing and learning for enhancing comprehensive rehabilitation management of SCI”, and there have been nearly 100 abstracts submitted for presentation, many more than expected. More than 200 participants from 11 ASCoN countries and 13 non-ASCoN countries, registered for the conference and workshop. This reflects that our ASCoN, which started from a small group of initiators meeting at CRP, Bangladesh in 2001, has been growing steadily. Thanks to all colleagues and friends from our Asian Spinal Cord Network who aim at better quality of life of our SCI patients and friends. This year we have about 20 SCI consumers/friends joining the conference and there are some sessions that we can learn from them to improve our rehab services. Besides knowledge, skills and research in SCI rehabilitation, you all will experience and enjoy our get together party where we can also share our cultures and tie our relationships closer. Thanks to our supporters, ISCOS, SPIRIT, Livability, INUS, Rick Hansen Institute, the Faculty of Medicine Chiang Mai University and the Chiang Mai Foundation for the Well-being of the Disabled. Lastly, thanks to our team, without them this conference and workshop cannot become true. Apichana Kovindha, M.D., FRCPhysiatrT Chairperson, the 16th Asian Spinal Cord Network (ASCoN) 7th-10th December 2017 3 16th ASCoN CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP Chiang Mai, December 2017 Welcome It is an honour and a pleasure for INUS, the International Neuro-Urological Society, to be invited to this 16th ASCoN Conference and Workshops and we would like to thank Prof.A.Kovindha for all her efforts on this behalf. INUS is the only medical and scientific society, which deals exclusively with Neuro-Urology. The aim of this young society is to offer the best possible care for neuro-urologic patients worldwide by enhancing its visibility through educational courses and research. Thus our activities, supporting a Workshop on Neuro-Urology and presenting lectures, during this important conference ideally fit into our mission. We invite all participants to share with us an up-date on several neuro-urological topics, moreover we are welcoming all involved in neuro-urological care and research to join our efforts. We wish you all a successful meeting and pleasant days in Chiang Mai. Prof.Dr H.Madersbacher President of INUS 4 16th ASCoN CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP Welcome to the 16th ASCoN Conference and Workshops On behalf of the Rick Hansen Institute, I am very pleased to welcome delegates from the 18 member countries of ASCoN to Chiang Mai. The Rick Hansen Institute is very proud to be a sponsor of this event, which will provide valuable opportunities for researchers, healthcare professionals, service organizations, and individuals with spinal cord injuries to share a wealth of expertise and experience on a broad range of topics, all aimed at improving care and outcomes for individuals with spinal cord injuries. The goals of ASCoN are fully consistent with the objectives of the Rick Hansen Institute, and we are very pleased to work with ASCoN and ISCoS to continue to build the Asian Spinal Cord Network, and promote ASCoN’s participation in SCI networks beyond Asia. 30 years ago, our founder, Rick Hansen, pushed his wheelchair through Asia and around the world, wheeling 40,000 km to raise awareness of the potential of people with disabilities and spinal cord injuries. Recognizing the almost limitless power of collaboration, he acknowledged that “no one – absolutely no one – gets anywhere on their own”. It is in this spirit of teamwork, collaboration, and shared success that we join together at the 16th ASCoN conference to advance spinal cord injury research, clinical care, and community services that will improve the quality of life for millions of people with spinal cord injuries. I wish you a very productive and enjoyable conference. Sincerely, Bill Barrable CEO, Rick Hansen Institute 5 16th ASCoN CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP ASCoN Executive Committee Chairperson Assoc.

National notifiable diseases surveillance system (NNDSS) data in developing countries are usually incomplete, yet the total number of fatal cases reported is commonly used in national priority-setting. Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is largely underrecognized by policy-makers due to the underreporting of fatal cases via the NNDSS. Methods. Collaborating with the Epidemiology Division (ED), Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), we conducted a retrospec- tive study to determine the incidence and mortality of melioidosis cases already identified by clinical microbiology laboratories nationwide. A case of melioidosis was defined as a patient with any clinical specimen culture positive for B.
