In Vietnam, erectile dysfunction (ED) is prevalent and recognized to be associated with mental disorders; however, societal taboos impede a comprehensive understanding of this connection. Our study aims to investigate the factors related to higher levels of anxiety and/or depression (HAD) in individuals with ED. Between November 2022 and March 2023, a face-to-face survey was conducted at the Center for Andrology of Viet Duc University Hospital, involving 390 patients diagnosed with ED.

Diastolic dysfunction after repair for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is associated with adverse long-term outcomes. Right atrial (RA) mechanics as a proxy of right ventricular (RV) diastolic function in the early post-operative period after surgical repair for TOF has not been reported. We sought to evaluate RA and RV strain prior to hospital discharge after TOF repair and to identify important patient factors associated with strain using a machine learning method.

- Neonates undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery face high risks of death and complications, leading to the proposal of "ICU-30" as a combined measure of poor outcomes, including mortality and prolonged ICU stays.
- A study analyzing 887 neonates found that 26.2% experienced the ICU-30 outcome, which correlated with higher rates of mortality at 6 and 12 months.
- The ICU-30 measure effectively predicted long-term mortality, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for assessing patient outcomes using standard data collection methods.
Background: Serum biomarkers of myocardial fibrosis are considered markers of adverse outcome in adults with heart disease. Associations between biomarkers and clinical parameters in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has been understudied. We compared serum biomarker profiles with clinical and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters of ventricular remodeling in patients with repaired TOF.

Methods: A combined PGT-M (thalassemia) plus PGT-A system was developed for patients undergoing IVF in Vietnam. Here we developed a system for testing numerous thalassemia mutations plus SNP-based testing for backup mutation analysis and contamination control using next-generation sequencing (NGS).
