» Six women. One room. Choices that bind them together—yet drive them apart. This is the emotional core of Pride and Prejudice: In Her Room, the latest creation from Aim-ei Polpitak, the visionary director and playwright behind AORTA’s acclaimed Before 2475. As the world celebrates the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth in 2025, Aim-ei returns with a bold reinterpretation of one of literature’s most beloved works—this time, refracted through a distinctly modern lens.
Aortic Valve Stenosis: A Silent, Deadly Threat

» “Aortic valve stenosis” is an often-overlooked condition and a growing health concern in ageing societies such as Thailand. With an increasing elderly population and a rise in age-related valve degeneration, this condition poses a serious threat to public health. According to the Ministry of Public Health’s 2022 report, cardiovascular diseases claimed 70,000 Thai lives — equivalent to eight deaths every hour. Among these, heart valve disease is a key contributor, particularly aortic valve stenosis, which is increasingly prevalent among individuals aged 65 and older. As people age, calcium deposits can cause the aortic valve to thicken and stiffen, reducing its ability to open fully and thus restricting blood flow.
