42MHRC Programme And The Republic of the Union of Myanmar Ministry of Health 42nd MYANMAR HEALTH RESEARCH CONGRESS Programme and Abstracts 6-10 January 2014 The Republic of the Union of Myanmar Ministry of Health 4422nd MMyyaannmmaarr HHeeaalltthh RReesseeaarrcchh CCoonnggrreessss Programme and Abstracts 6-10 January 2014 FOREWORD Since its inception in 1965, the Myanmar Health Research Congress is an annual event as a symbol of coordination, cooperation and, collaboration of various Departments under the Ministry of Health. The Congress reflects the concerted efforts and achievements of academia, researchers and service personnel in the field of basic, applied and health systems research. Multi-stakeholder involvement under favorable conditions while implementing the research projects may lead to constructive approach of evidence-based findings towards formulating strategies for health and health-related policy and programmes. Each and every year, the Congress brings both national and international researchers together for exchanging their views, thoughts and innovative ideas to serve as a driving force in their future plans to meet the specific health needs of the country. This is indeed an essential platform for mutual exchange of knowledge, expertise, experiences, opinions and lessons learned between senior and junior scientists from various disciplines through the responsible conduct of health research. Ministry of Health encourages health systems strengthening efforts alongside with built-in operational research component for maternal, new-born and child health, emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, and environmental health issues as well as for technology development. The complex nature of research problems in the country calls for multi-sectoral actions that require strong political commitment and health sector reforms at multi-level such as national, state/regional, and township levels, down to the grass-roots. This may further enhance poverty reduction strategies and rural development. For clinical research, it is high time to introduce the clinical registry system to avoid duplications. This Proceeding includes abstracts of 97 research papers and 34 research posters, and the special features of eight scientific symposia. I would like to sincerely congratulate the researchers for their incredible contributions towards evidence-based findings while observing the research ethics. The products of this bench-mark Congress might contribute towards translational applications and knowledge management for further research capacity strengthening and establishment of health research information system. Moreover, multiple avenues of opportunities shed light for young researchers for their future career and profession. Wide range of abstracts in basic biomedical disciplines, applied research, and health systems research may advocate the scientific community for further improvement in knowledge transfer mechanisms in the local context.

Central Biomedical Library Myo Khin MBBS, MD (New South Wales), DCH, FRCP (Edin) Acting Director-General Department of Medical Research (Lower Myanmar) September, 2012 PREFACE Research on medical problems and diseases is of limited interest among the Myanmar health professionals until the formation of the Burma Medical Research Institute (BMRI) in 1963. Two years after its inauguration, the BMRI organized its first Research Conference in which researchers from the BMRI, medical institutes, and the Burma Army Medical Crops presented a total of twelve scientific papers. Since then, the Research Conferences were organized annually in the various categories such as in the form of Research Congresses, Research Conferences or Research Paper Reading Sessions amounting to a total number of forty events by the year 2012. It has been almost fifty years since the publication of the Index of the first Medical Research Conference. It is felt that the listing of the Indexes of all Research Conference is needed to be made available to researchers and medical students who wish to obtain information for reference. This Index Book is compiled to consolidate the indexes of all research conferences which will serve as a data base and covers all research papers presented at the Health Research Conferences during 1965 to 2011.

    SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research Bibliographic Supplement (Winter, 2004) ISSN 1479- 8484 THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BURMA (MYANMAR) RESEARCH: THE SECONDARY LITERATURE (2004 Revision) Michael Walter Charney (comp.)1 School of Oriental and African Studies “The ‘Living’ Bibliography of Burma Studies: The Secondary Literature” was first published in 2001, with the last update dated 26 April 2003. The SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research has been expanded to include a special bibliographic supplement this year, and every other year hereafter, into which additions and corrections to the bibliography will be incorporated. In the interim, each issue of the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research will include a supplemental list, arranged by topic and sub- topic. Readers are encouraged to contact the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research with information about their publications, hopefully with a reference to a topic and sub-topic number for each entry, so that new information can be inserted into the bibliography correctly. References should be submitted in the form followed by the bibliography, using any of the entries as an example. Please note that any particular entry will only be included once, regardless of wider relevance. Eventually, all entries will be cross-listed to indicate other areas where a particular piece of research might be of use. This list has been compiled chiefly from direct surveys of the literature with additional information supplied by the bibliographies of numerous and various sources listed in the present bibliography. Additional sources include submissions from members of the BurmaResearch (including the former Earlyburma) and SEAHTP egroups, as well as public domain listings of personal publications on the internet.
