Abstract

Background : Prolonged QTc interval is one of the side effects of the short-regimen MDR-TB. QTcprolongation is a risk factor for Torsades de pointes and is influenced by many factors. Case : 47-year-oldwoman who was diagnosed with MDR-TB through GeneXpert examination and received short-regimenMDR-TB. This patient experienced repeated QTc prolongation, with peak QTc interval 600 msec occurringat 4th month with mild hypokalemia without clinical symptoms. The patient completed 9 months of shortregimentherapy with improve chest x ray followed by negative sputum culture. Conclusion : Short-regimenMDR-TB contains several drugs that cause QTc prolongation. Clinical evaluation is required in patientswith QTc prolongation before changing the regiment.

Abstract

Accidents in a workplace are caused by many human errors in form of unsafe behavior. One of the efforts toprevent work accidents is to improve safety performance in form of participation and obedience. Improvementof safety performance in workplace is affected by management and individual factors. Management factoris mainly associated with safety management practices while individual factor is associated with individualcharacteristics and occupational health and safety knowledge and training. This study aims to analyze theeffect of individual factors and safety management practices on safety performance among workers at PT.Masmindo Dwi area. This research is a quantitative research using analytic observational and cross sectionaldesign which was conducted in November-December 2020. Interviews were conducted on 72 workers outof 289 workers. The methods used in assessing safety management practices, individual factors and safetybehavior are questionnaires, observation and interviews. The results showed that there is a direct (p=0,024)and indirect effect (p=0,001) of safety management practices on safety performance with safety knowledgeas a mediating variable. Writer highly advise that in improving safety performance, the management haveto be consistent, show commitments to safety rules and procedures that have been made, improve safetytraining programs, and increase the quantity and quality of training programs.

Abstract

Background: The application of herbicides has been a common practice in worldwide agriculture, mainlywith the goal to increase efficacy of weed control. So, most farmers faced a greater risk of herbicideexposure to develop adverse health effects from oxidative stress-induced herbicides. The aim of this studyis to determine the urinary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and 8-isoprostane levels in farmers using themixture of herbicides in Long District, Phrae Province, Thailand.Methods: Ninety-three participants were recruited. The spot urine samples (pre- and post-work) werecollected. The urinary TAC was determined using ABTS radical scavenging assay. The urinary 8-isoprostanelevel was investigated by commercial ELISA kit.Results: Most farmers worked on a farm during 1-5 h/day. Fifty-five percents of participants used themixture of herbicide while working between glyphosate and paraquat as well as glyphosate and 2,4-D. Theurinary TAC levels in pre-work urine sample of farmers applied combining herbicides were significantlyhigher than that level in their post-work urine sample. However, there was no significant difference betweenpre- and post-work urinary 8-isoprostane in farmers applied combining herbicides.Conclusion: The results suggest that occupational exposure to mixture of glyphosate herbicides plus paraquator 2,4-D could induce abnormal oxidative stress value especially antioxidant defense among agriculturalworkers.
