Background: Evaluating the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in patients with hypertension and diabetes is vital for improving treatment adherence and outcomes.

Objective: This study assessed HRQoL and its influencing factors among patients with both type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension at Can Tho Hospital, Vietnam.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 310 outpatients at the polyclinic, using the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) between July 2021 and July 2022.

Tartrazine (E102) is a controversial coloring agent whose potential impacts on human health are not fully understood. Our study reveals the vascular disrupting effects of tartrazine (TTZ) on developing zebrafish embryos in vivo and on human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro. The dye was shown to cause dose-dependent hemorrhages in zebrafish embryos.

Article Synopsis
  • Prussian White (PW) is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries with high capacity and voltage, but its performance varies due to challenges in controlling hydration levels.
  • This study focuses on understanding the dehydration and rapid rehydration processes of PW materials, which are critical for accurate characterization.
  • Findings reveal that drying conditions significantly affect PW's properties and that samples quickly reabsorb moisture from the air, underscoring the importance of maintaining airtight conditions during experimentation.

Mortality and morbidity from tuberculous meningitis (TBM) are common, primarily due to inflammatory response to infection, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We aimed to uncover genes and pathways associated with TBM pathogenesis and mortality, and determine the best predictors of death, utilizing whole-blood RNA sequencing from 281 Vietnamese adults with TBM, 295 pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and 30 healthy controls. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we identified hub genes and pathways linked to TBM severity and mortality, with a consensus analysis revealing distinct patterns between HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals.
