Human Enterovirus B Is a Significant Cause of Aseptic Meningitis and Sepsis-Like Illness in Young Infants in Thailand
This study tested clinical samples from hospitalized young infants with suspected aseptic meningitis or sepsis-like illness between 2013 and 2022 for EV, PeV, and Herpes simplex virus (HSV). Of 95 specimens, 10 were positive for EV, representing 10.5%. These positive samples included eight CSF and two stool samples. No samples were positive for PeV and HSV. Of these positive cases, EV-B was detected in eight, and EV-A was detected in two cases. The species of EV-B detected include echovirus-18 (E18) (n=2), E21 (n=2), E4(n=1), E5 (n=1), E9 (n=1), and E11 (n=1). Our report demonstrates the significant role of EV-B, and less ...

Health Literacy and Demand for Medical Cannabis use among Colorectal Cancer Patients in Northern Thailand: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSIONS: Health literacy is an important factor affecting the demand for MC use of CRC patients. Therefore, improving health literacy, social support, and attitudes about MC especially among younger CRC patients, could help increase demand for MC as a complementary and alternative medicine alongside cancer treatment.PMID:38546082 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.999 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Self-protective behaviors of Thai village health volunteers in community engagement during a COVID-19 outbreak: interpretation using the health belief model
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the importance of VHVs' self-efficacy for achieving self-protective behavior during a COVID-19 outbreak, and suggests that self-efficacy may help to overcome barriers that might otherwise hinder behaviors to mitigate against COVID-19. Policies that support self-efficacy should be implemented in any future pandemic, and steps to support VHVs with hand hygiene compliance and empower non-leaders to increase their self-protective behavior may also be helpful. Whilst the HBM provided a useful framework for interpretation, the final model was driven mainly by self-efficacy.PMID:38539098 | PMC:P...
