    This research project was an investigative study on working environment in wood furnisher factories in Khon kaen province, Thailand. The aspects of working  environment covered were noise level, harmful particulates and brightness level or  illumination. These aspects were then compared to standards. During this project, an  interview was conducted on factories’ employees in manufacturing processes. There  were 4 factories participated in this investigation, one was a medium size factory, whoemployed 52 workers and the others were small and had the combined workers of 17  persons. The gather data was then analysed using a commercially available statistic  program named SPSS and the method used were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and rageThe data analysis illustrated a few common results in regard to these factory workers  in the areas of sex, age and education. The employees were mostly male and the  percentage went as high as 94.1% in small factories. The average age was just below  45 years old and the large portion only graduated from primary school. The  percentage of person who finished primary school in medium size factory was lower  at 75% where the number went up to 84.2% in small factories. The normal workingtime was 8 hours per day, 6 days a week and the factories open all year. While the  workers in medium size factory perform repetitive task and stay within an area of a  production line, workers in the others perform various tasks all over the factory. The  interview also revealed that the medium factory routinely has overtime, unlike the  small factories where this depend on the work. In regard to working condition, the large factory had an organised workplace with protection and safety equipmentprovided. Whereas the small factories lacked good working environment.The investigation of working condition were done by measuring parameters and then compared to standards, which found that the participated factories only meet the  standard on harmful particulate level.

    (Mahasarakham Hospital Journal, 2011-02-08) Sudaporn Booranasan; Warangkana Sungsitthisawad
    The aim of this laboratory investigation was to determine the most optimal conditions to remove dye from two types of wastewater namely direct synthetic wastewater and wastewater from silk factories. The dye concentration tested had been 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 g/L dissolved in the wastewater together with the adsorbate  in a ratio (v/v) of 5 levels being 1:8, 1:4, 3:8, 1:2 and 5:8. The Jar Test method had been applied. During the test procedures a sample of the wastewater was taken for every hour and the dye concentration in the sample was determined by using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 555 nm. The test procedure was interrupted after the dye concentration leveled of to a plateau indicating that an optimum of the removal of the dye had been achieved. The efficiency of dye adsorption had been measured in percent of the decrease of the dye absorption at the start of the experiment and at the optimal point of dye removal considering also the dye/adsorbants ratio used for each test run. The same procedure had been used for testing dye removal from wastewater derived from a silk factory at Tumbon Banchieng Amphoe Nonnghan, Udornthani province. From the factory wastewater also the indicators COD, SS and TDS had been determined. Analysis statistic were  percentage, mean, One way ANOVA and BonferroniThe optimal condition for dye removal had been achieved with a dye concentration in wastewater of 0.1 g/L with an adsorbate ratio of 5:8 and allowing an absorption  time of 13 hours by using carbon black. The dye absorption using carbon black as adsorbent was 80.66% and using rice husk was 80.15%. A dye concentration of 0.2 g/L with an adsorbate ratio of 5:8 resulted in a dye concentration reduction after a 9 hour’s test run of 70.25% for carbon black and 70.56% for risk husk. The results for 0.3g/L with an adsorbate ratio of 5:8 for an 8 hour’s test run had been 60.48% for carbon black and 55.25% for rice husk The efficiency of rice husk in removing dye from the wastewater of the silk factory with an adsorbate ratio of 5:8 and a 9 hour’s test run had been. The indices COD, SS and TDS from the factory wastewater proofed to be according to standards after the dye removal. The result of the experiment suggests that carbon black and rice husk are appropriate means to remove dye from wastewater originated from coloring  silk under conditions tested in this experiment before discharge wastewater to environment.

    (Mahasarakham Hospital Journal, 2011-02-07) ITTA JIRAKULSOMCHOK
            In the authur’s experience in treating patients with temporomandibular joint pain. Unilateral chewing habit prior the pain happens was frequently found together with temporomandibular pain. The unilateral chewing was found both ipsilateral and contralateral to the pain side. It is logically understanding that ipsilateral chewing  can cause overload to the joint and cause pain. But a large number of contralateral chewing was also observed. It seems illogically that chewing on one side can cause pain to the contralateral temporomandibular joint. So this study purposes is to find how much unilateral chewing there are in patients with temporomandibular pain and the ratio of  unilateral chewing and contralateral chewing.          Results: There were 39 men and 111 women . Had 67 right temporomandibular joint pain, 81 left temporomandibular joint pain and 3 bilateral temporomandibular joint pain . In the unilateral temporomandibular joint pain patients, there were 85 ipsilateral chewing (58%), 45 contralateral chewing (30%) and 18 equally chewing (12%)          Conclusion: There are correlation between unilateral chewing and temporomandibular pain. Ipsilateral chewing is frequently found together with temporomandibular pain but it is not surprising to find contralateral chewing together with temporomandibular joint pain.

The complications of blood circulation failure include respiration failure, hypoxia, hypotension, and acute renal failure. Those complications may be the causal of death in patients. Therefore, it is very important for nurses to be able to perform patients’ assessment at the very early state of shock. Consequently, patients can be treated in timely manner.  Objective: The purposes of this report were to study the prognosis, health problems, treatments, and patient outcomes. It is expected that knowledge gained from this report will provide resource of nursing practice guideline (NPG) for nurses to care for patients diagnosed from ectopic pregnancy with shock. Sample and setting: The purposive sampling method was used to select 1 patient diagnosed from ectopic pregnancy with shock. The patient was recruited from Gynaecology unit at Sisaket hospital. Study design: The retrospective data collection was employed. Data were gathered from the patient’s medical record between January 2, 2009 and January6,2009. Results: A married Thai woman aged 18 with a report of absence of 1 month period of menstrual was referred to Sisaket hospital from community hospital with lower abdominal pain, faint, alteration of conscious and shock. At Sisaket hospital, shock was worsening progressive.  0.9% Normal Saline Solution and Haemaccel were given intravenous. Later on, the patient’s clinical improved enough to tolerate the operation. Right partial salpingectomy was performed and found hemoperitonieal 2,000 ml. ultimately; the patient’s conditions were dramatically recovered.  In summary, the patient’s health problems were: 1) actual: hypovolemic shock (deficient fluid volume) due to massive blood loss in the abdomen secondary to ectopic pregnancy, 2) actual: ineffective tissue perfusion related to progression of shock with decreased red blood cell to transport oxygen to tissues, 3) risk for: fluid and electrolyte imbalance, 4) actual: anxiety related to feelings that illness was worsening and is potentially life threatening (patient and significant others), 5) actual: pain secondary to tissue injury, 6) actual: anemia due to massive blood loss, and 7) actual: alter in comfort due to abdominal distension secondary to the operation received. Nursing care had been closely provided based on patient’s conditions to correct the shock. Finally, Patient was safe from shock and those mentioned health problems.Conclusion: In order to provide nursing care for correcting shock, nurses must have knowledge of characteristics of shock and initiate nursing care plan to provide cares and observe patients closely.

    Bacteriology of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media
    (Mahasarakham Hospital Journal, 2011-02-01) Boonrert Pealskulrat
    Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a disease well known to otolaryngologists. It is a chronic inflammatory process, slow and insidious in its course, tend to be persistent, with sometimes irreversible sequelae. The aerobic microbiology of 59 patients from Lampang Hospital, who suffered from chronic suppurative otitis media was studied between January 2008 and March 2009.  A total of 57  isolates (45 singled isolates and 6 mixed isolates) were recovered. The predominant organisms were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(30.5%), Staphylococcus coagulase negative(10.1%) and Staphylococcus aureus(6.8%).  Many of Staphylococcus sp.  can produce beta-lactamase, rendering them resistant to many of the penicillins. A knowledge of the pathogens responsible for CSOM can assist in the selection of the most appropriate treatment regimen and can minimize complications.
