Abstract

Mpox, a zoonotic viral disease, has emerged as a significant public health concern globally, especially since its spread beyond Central and West Africa in 2022. This study focuses on the epidemiological patterns of mpox in Southern Thailand, a region characterized by frequent human-wildlife interactions and cross-border activity. The findings reveal a high concentration of mpox cases in rural areas, with a prevalence rate of 15.4 per 100,000 population. The majority of cases occurred among males aged 25-40, highlighting a demographic trend linked to occupational and travel-related exposure. Transmission patterns indicate that close contact with infected individuals and wildlife are critical factors, with occupational exposure in rural areas posing significant risks. Public health interventions, such as isolation, hygiene promotion, and education, have been somewhat effective in urban settings but face challenges in rural areas due to limited healthcare access and low public awareness. The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions, improved surveillance, and expanded vaccination efforts to mitigate the spread of mpox, particularly in regions with significant wildlife contact. Understanding these dynamics is essential for future outbreak control efforts in Southeast Asia and beyond.

Abstract

High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart-related conditions, such as stroke and heart attack. Dietary management is essential for regulating blood pressure, and foods high in potassium, like chayote (Sechium edule, Latin) (labu siam, Indonesian), are becoming recognized for their possible antihypertensive benefits. This research examines the effects of eating chayote on the control of blood pressure in people with hypertension. An experimental approach was employed, involving three participants with hypertension and a history of stroke. The participants ate chayote combined with oats as a substitute for rice every day for a week. Blood pressure readings were taken prior to and following the intervention to evaluate alterations in systolic and diastolic values. The results indicate a notable decrease in blood pressure. Typically, systolic pressure dropped by 15 mmHg (9.4%), whereas diastolic pressure fell by 10 mmHg (10.5%). These findings indicate that chayote aids in blood pressure control due to its elevated potassium levels, promoting sodium elimination and supporting electrolyte equilibrium. Moreover, its fiber and flavonoids promote heart health by lowering cholesterol levels and minimizing oxidative stress. Although the outcomes are favorable, this research is constrained by its limited sample size and brief duration. Future studies should include larger and more varied populations, longer intervention durations, and an examination of chayote’s bioactive compounds to gain a clearer understanding of its long-term impact on blood pressure control.
