There were significant associations (p < 0.05) between parental education levels, monthly incomes and attitudes and behaviors. There were significant associations (p < 0.05) between parental education levels, careers and causes of stress that affected care of their child's oral health. Factors that affected their ability to care for their child's oral health were from most to least was lack of time, lack of knowledge about brushing, stress from work, not raising their child by themselves, economics problems and being a single parent. Parental attitudes and behavior in regard to their child's oral health were associated with their education levels and monthly income. Factors that affected their ability to care for their child's oral health were their education levels and their careers. These factors should be considered when giving oral hygiene education to improve their parenting capabilities.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"249-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30990894","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}

One hundred and forty-seven H. pylori-infected dyspeptic patients were enrolled, of whom 68 had non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD), 57 peptic ulcer disease (PUD), 18 gastric cancer (GCA), and 4 other gastroduodenal diseases. PCR and DNA sequence analysis were used to determine the cagA genotype and the pattern of EPIYA motifs. cagA-positive H. pylori were identified in 138 (94%) of H. pylori-infected dyspeptic patients of whom 75 (54%) were of the Western-type, 44 (32%) the East Asian type and 19 (14%) of the other types. The Western type is significantly found in PUD patients (p = 0.0175). The majority of cagA EPIYA was EPIYA-ABC (43%) and EPIYA-ABD (28%). There is no significant correlation between the increase in number of EPIYA-C motifs and clinical outcomes. Thus, the most frequent cagA type found among northeastern Thai dyspeptic patients was the Western cagA type, which is significantly associated with PUD indicating a possible predictive parameter for clinical outcome.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"105-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30987758","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 sensitivity and specificity of the OnSite Chikungunya IgM Rapid Test-Cassette and the SD Bioline CHIK IgM rapid test were evaluated in comparison to a capture ELISA. The sensitivity of the OnSite test was 20.5% while its specificity was 100%. The sensitivity of the SD Bioline test was 50.8% while its specificity was 89.2%. The sensitivity of the SD Bioline test increased with increasing CHIK IgM titers and with days of onset in samples collected before day 21 of illness.

It is one of the major preventable causes of premature death and disease in the world. Fourteen to seventeen year olds are among a vulnerable group of individuals in society and susceptible to cigarette smoking. Older students act as role models to younger pupils and could influence smoking behavior. In a cross-sectional study we compared the differences in smoking between high school students in Pakistan and the United Kingdom. A self-administered anonymous questionnaire, adapted from a WHO questionnaire about tobacco smoking, was distributed to the students. In the UK, 235 participants were recruited; 16% (n = 38) were regular smokers. In Pakistan, 350 participants were recruited; 17% (n = 58) were regular smokers. In both countries males were significantly more likely to smoke. Reasons for smoking varied between the UK and Pakistan. In the UK, the majority smoked for recreational or social purposes and in Pakistan peer pressure played the major role. Beliefs regarding smoking were similar between the two countries. The lifetime prevalence of smoking was higher in the UK, but more students in Pakistan smoked daily. There were important differences in the smoking patterns between the two countries, which have potential public health implications.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"219-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30990890","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}

One of the important virulence properties of this bacteria is its ability to form a biofilm. Genes involved in biofilm formation in B. pseudomallei have not been thoroughly studied. In this study, Tn5-OT182 mutagenesis was used to isolate of B. pseudomallei strain A2 mutants unable to produce biofilm. Ten biofilm-defective transposon mutants were isolated and analyzed. Flanking DNA from each transposon mutant were self-cloned and sequenced, then the sequences were analyzed with the BLAST program. To confirm these genes are involved in biofilm formation, we constructed three gene deletion mutants marked with a tetracycline resistance gene. The constructed tet(r)-marked deletion mutants were checked for correct structure and size by polymerase chain reaction. When subjected to biofilm assay, all tested tet(r)-marked deletion mutants were still able to produce biofilm, indicating the three genes are not involved in biofilm formation. These results suggest integration of Tn5-OT182 in genes not involved in biofilm production can render B. pseudomallei unable to produce biofilm by an unknown mechanism. This information demonstrates Tn5-OT182 is not a reliable tool for identifying genes involved in biofilm formation unless a confirmatory experiment is carried out in parallel.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"124-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30987760","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}

We studied exposure to selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Map Ta Phut and the association between residing near the petrochemical complex and respiratory ailments. We carried out a population-based cross-sectional study, utilizing health data regarding respiratory problems among adults collected as part of a Health Effects of Air Pollution study of residents living in Map Ta Phut Municipality, Thailand, using a standardized questionnaire. The distance from the subject's residence to the center of the MTPIE was mapped using a geographical information system (GIS). A total of 15,441 adults aged > or = 13 years who lived in Map Ta Phut Municipality for at least 1 year were included in the study. Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between the distance between the subject's residence and the MTPIE and the presence of the respiratory problems during the previous 12 months. A 5 km distance was chosen as the maximum study radius. Volatile organic compounds were observed higher concentrations at sites downwind from the MTPIE, and closer to the MTPIE. Study subjects who lived closer to the MTPIE reported an odor more frequently than subjects who lived farther from the MTPIE. Living closer to the MTPIE was associated with more acute respiratory problems, but not more chronic respiratory problems than living farther from the MTPIE. Adults aged > or = 40 years were more likely to have respiratory symptoms and eye irritation than those aged < 40 years. Females were more likely to have dyspnea, wheezing and upper respiratory symptoms than males. Living near the MTPIE for more than 5 years was associated with an increased risk of wheezing and upper respiratory symptoms.","PeriodicalId":520816,"journal":{"name":"The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":"201-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30989873","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}
