Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice toward Clostridium Botulinum Outbreak in Home-Canned Bamboo Shoots at Pakaluang Subdistrict, Ban Luang District, Nan Province, Thailand
No full textThis study aims to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward Clostridium botulinum outbreak in home-canned bamboo shoots at Pakalung SubDistrict, Ban Luang District, Nan Province, Thailand. A cross-sectional approach was conducted to assess KAP using a structured questionnaire. A total of 280 people, randomly selected responded by face to face interview. The results indicated that the knowledge and attitude of the participants were moderate and neutral (57.9 % and 51.8 %, respectively). The prevalence of good practice level was 89.6 %. Furthermore, the knowledge was significantly associated with social-demographic characteristics (Chi-square, p<0.05) i.e. education level (p<0.001), occupation (p<0.029), monthly incomes (p<0.001). The attitude was associated with age group (p<0.001), education level (p<0.002), monthly incomes (p<0.001) and monthly incomes (p<0.001) are associated with practice level. The information gained would be utilized for health promotion and use of appropriate tools to increase more knowledge, and changing wrong beliefs concerning food habits and changing some people’s practices that might increase risk related to C. botulinum foodborne.Peer reviewed

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

or symplectic involution and gives an explicit form of the Robson
cubics. Some other results are also given in case $n=3.
