During the 5-day camp, twenty-seven participants (mean age 15.6 +/- 2.1 years, mean duration 6.3 +/- 3.0 years) were taught diabetes self-management education (DSME) and engaged in psychosocial support sessions. Post-camp activities were held every 3 months and participants were followed for 12 months post-camp. Glycemic control was assessed prior to the camp, then every 3 months. Knowledge level was assessed prior to the camp, at the end of the camp, and every 3 months. Diabetes self-care behavior and quality of life were evaluated prior to the camp, at 3 months and 12 months after the camp. After attending the camp, participants had improvement in knowledge but there were no changes in HbA1c levels or quality of life scores. Quality of life was not consistently associated with HbA1c. In general, participants did not perceive their quality of life was poor or feel having diabetes affected their social life. The issue participants worried about most was whether they would develop complications from diabetes. There were several weak points found among participant self-care behavior, particularly in diet-related matters. Despite no improvement in glycemic control, participants gained knowledge from attending the camp. Diet related self-care behavior is difficult for teenagers with T1D to be compliant.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"172-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30989870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Susceptibility data by disk diffusion method for cefepime (30 microg), ceftazidime (30 microg), gentamicin (10 microg), piperacillin-tazobactam (100/10 microg) and ciprofloxacin (5 microg) were available for 38 isolates. Resistance to ceftazidime and piperacillin-tazobactam was the most common (74%) with five isolates not susceptible to three or more different antibiotics. PCR detection of exoU and exoS of all 44 isolates showed the former gene to be present in 18 and exoS in 41. In analyzing the two genes together, 17 isolates were detected for exoU and exoS with only two being negative for both genes. Only one isolate was detected for exoU alone whereas 24 for exoS alone. Distribution of the genes in relation to antibiotic susceptibility was inapplicable due to the majority of the isolates having similar susceptibility patterns, but the tendency of exoU-carrying isolates to be present in male patients (83%) and respiratory sites (61%) was observed (p < 0.050). The finding warrants further investigation in a larger sample of isolates.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"116-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30987759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of family care behavior by family caregivers of children with thalassemia. Eighty-eight family caregivers for children with thalassemia aged 1-16 years were recruited by purposive sampling from in-patient and out-patient clinics in an eastern regional hospital in Thailand. Research instruments were 5 self-administered questionnaires: 1) demographics of family caregivers, 2) perceived family management, 3) medical adherence, 4) health literacy, and 5) family management behavior. Data were analyzed by percentages, means, standard deviations, Pearson's product moment correlation and multiple regression. The strongest predictor for family management behavior was perceived family management (B = 0.550, p < 0.001), it accounted for 26.3% of the variance. Health literacy (B = 0.337, p = 0.024) accounted for 4.5% of the variance. When these two dependent measures were combined, they accounted for 30.8% of the variance (R2 = 0.308, F = 18.933, p < 0.001). Within the three subscales of family management behavior (medical, role, and psychosocial management), medical adherence, health literacy and perceived family management, together accounted for 22.6% of the variance for medical management. Perceived family management and health literacy together accounted for 30.3% of the variance in role management. Perceived family management accounted for 20.9% of the variance in psychosocial management. These findings suggest a tailored intervention program should emphasize promoting family management and increasing health literacy to improve the quality of family management behavior for children with thalassemia.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"160-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30989869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients greater than or equal to 24 months old presenting with acute fever (> 38 degrees C) were enrolled. In late July 2009, the study identified its first case of pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza virus infection. The prevalence of pH1N1 infections increased rapidly during August and September and by October, pH1N1 infections had peaked replacing H3N2 as the dominant subtype. The incidence of pH1N1 subsequently decreased, with only one case identified in late December. From late July through December 2009, 42.4% of all influenza cases were caused by pH1N1. Except for headache, less frequently reported among pH1N1-infected patients, patients infected with the pH1N1 reported symptoms (eg, cough, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea) similar to seasonal H3N2 and B virus infections. Among children 6 to 12 years old, there was a higher number of hospitalizations campared to other age groups. Identification of influenza virus types A and B using the QuickVue rapid diagnostic test was found to be equally sensitive for pH1N1 (50.4%), H3N2 (51.7%) and influenza B (53.9%) viruses, although the sensitivity was low among all subtypes. The pH1N1 virus rapidly became the dominant virus subtype in 2009 in Cambodia, but no symptoms consistently distinguished the pandemic strain from other influenza virus subtypes. The QuickVue test was as sensitive for detecting pH1N1 viral as well as other circulating seasonal influenza viruses.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"68-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30987754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two hundred eighty fourth year secondary students were each assigned by school to 1 of 4 different treatment groups. Each intervention was carried out for 3 months followed by 3 months without treatment. A validated self-reported knowledge and attitude questionnaire was administered; hemoglobin levels were measured before and after intervention. At baseline, no significant difference in hemoglobin was noted among the 4 groups (p = 0.06). The changes in hemoglobin levels at 3 months were 11, 4.6, 3.9 and -3.7% for the supplementation, nutrition education, combination and control groups, respectively. The changes at 6 months were 1.0, 6.8, 3.7 and -14.8%, respectively. Significant improvements in knowledge and attitude were evidenced in both the nutritional education and combination groups. The supplementation and control groups had no improvement in knowledge or attitudes.
