Unlabelled: Breast cancer is associated with cardiovascular mortality as an adverse effect of chemotherapy. Considering the variances across breast cancer subtypes, this study aims to investigate the cardiovascular mortality patterns in each subtype.
Methods: This retrospective study used the SEER database of chemotherapy-receiving breast cancer patients (diagnosed in 2013-2020).
With the development of automatic electrical devices in smart grids, the data generated by time and transmitted are vast and thus impossible to control consumption by humans. The problem of abnormal detection in power consumption is crucial in monitoring and controlling smart grids. This article proposes the detection of electrical meter anomalies by detecting abnormal patterns and learning unlabeled data.

Case Presentation: A 62-year-old man was admitted to the cardiac emergency department presenting with chest pain, worsening shortness of breath and palpitations. He had a history of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with chemoradiotherapy, and he was not diagnosed with cardiovascular disease before.
Background: The Mobile Continuing Medical Education (mCME) 2.0 project was a randomized controlled trial that found that a 6-month text message-based CME intervention improved both the use of online medical training resources and medical knowledge among a cadre of HIV clinicians in Vietnam. This companion study analyzed intervention costs and cost-effectiveness.

Methods: All patients were prospectively recruited in Ho Chi Minh City. Presence of the HLA-B*58:01 allele was determined by real-time PCR-sequence-specific amplification by using the PG5801 Detection Kit (Pharmigene, Taipei).
Background: This study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the treatment of brain metastasis with surgical resection (SR) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the lower-middle-income country of Vietnam from the perspective of patients and families.
Methods: The treatment of 111 patients with brain metastases who underwent SR (n = 64) and SRS (n = 47) was retrospectively reviewed. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for selection bias (n = 30 each); mean and curves of survival time were defined by the Kaplan-Meier estimator; the cost analysis focused on the time period of relevant treatment.
