Penetrating brain injury through the cavernous sinus by chopsticks in Vienamese: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Penetrating brain injuries from chopsticks are exceedingly rare, often documented through case reports. Management strategies are tailored to individual cases, with a focus on mitigating postoperative complications.

Case Presentation: A 33-year-old male presented with a chopstick lodged in his right eye.

Effect of smartphone-based stress management programs on depression and anxiety of hospital nurses in Vietnam: a three-arm randomized controlled trial.

There are growing concerns on stress among nurses in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in South-East Asia. It is important to improve mental health among nurses in these countries. The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy of two types of newly developed smartphone-based stress management programs in improving depressive and anxiety symptoms among hospital nurses in Vietnam.

Percutaneous Ultrasound-Guided Access to the Superior Ophthalmic Vein for Embolization of a Cavernous Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistula.

The treatment of symptomatic cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula, an unusually occluded cavernous sinus, is by a transvenous approach through the inferior petrosal sinus and superior ophthalmic vein. If these two modes of conventional transvenous access are not possible, surgical exposure and/or direct puncture access to the superior ophthalmic vein or cavernous sinus have been previously described. In a patient with progressive ophthalmological problems, the goal of treatment is to not only cure the ophthalmic symptoms but also to conserve or improve visual acuity, so treatment is needed as soon as possible.

Type III Secretion Effector VopQ of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Modulates Central Carbon Metabolism in Epithelial Cells.

is a Gram-negative halophilic pathogen that frequently causes acute gastroenteritis and occasional wound infection. contains several virulence factors, including type III secretion systems (T3SSs) and thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH). In particular, T3SS1 is a potent cytotoxic inducer, and T3SS2 is essential for causing acute gastroenteritis.

Prevalence and associated factors of overweight and obesity among schoolchildren in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity (OW/OB) has increased rapidly in Vietnam. This study aimed to elucidate the factors influencing OW/OB among secondary schoolchildren.

Method: A survey was conducted in January 2014 in four randomly selected state schools in two Hanoi urban districts, and 821 students in grade six (11-12 years old) participated.

Effects of two types of smartphone-based stress management programmes on depressive and anxiety symptoms among hospital nurses in Vietnam: a protocol for three-arm randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Due to an increasing demand for healthcare in low-income and middle-income countries in Asia, it is important to develop a strategy to manage work-related stress in healthcare settings, particularly among nurses in these countries. The purpose of this three-arm randomised controlled trial (RCT) is to examine the effects of a newly developed smartphone-based multimodule stress management programme on reducing severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms as primary outcomes at 3-month and 7-month follow-ups among hospital nurses in Vietnam.

Methods And Analysis: The target study population will be registered nurses working in a large general hospital (which employs approximately about 2000 nurses) in Vietnam.

Host cellular unfolded protein response signaling regulates Campylobacter jejuni invasion.

Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of bacterial foodborne illness in humans worldwide. Bacterial entry into a host eukaryotic cell involves the initial steps of adherence and invasion, which generally activate several cell-signaling pathways that induce the activation of innate defense systems, which leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines and induction of apoptosis. Recent studies have reported that the unfolded protein response (UPR), a system to clear unfolded proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), also participates in the activation of cellular defense mechanisms in response to bacterial infection.

Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Reduces Microtubule-Dependent Campylobacter jejuni Invasion.

is a foodborne pathogen that induces gastroenteritis. Invasion and adhesion are essential in the process of infection leading to gastroenteritis. The mucosal layer plays a key role in the system of defense against efficient invasion and adhesion by bacteria, which is modulated by several ion channels and transporters mediated by water flux in the intestine.
