Patients' acceptance toward elective induction of labor at 39th week of gestation among low-risk pregnancies in a tertiary hospital in Vietnam: the PALI study.

Background: The term "elective induction of labor (eIOL)" refers to the practice of inducing labor before the due date in the absence of medical indication. In 2022, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommended that eIOL be considered for healthy women at 39 weeks of gestation. However, the acceptance of eIOL among pregnant women is crucial.

Security Performance Analysis of Downlink Double Intelligent Reflecting Surface Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Network for Edge Users.

In this work, we study the security performance of a double intelligent reflecting surface non-orthogonal multiple access (DIRS-NOMA) wireless communication system supporting communication for a group of two NOMA users (UEs) at the edge, with the existence of an eavesdropping device (ED). We also assume that there is no direct connection between the BS and the UEs. From the proposed model, we compute closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and the average security rate (ASR) for each UE.

Risk association of Lawsonia intracellularis in commercial swine farms.

Lawsonia intracellularis and Brachyspira species are important enteric pathogens in commercial pig farming. Despite their importance, there is little information on the epidemiology and risk factors of these pathogens in Vietnam. Therefore, this study investigated the percentage of L.

One-pot acid-catalysed synthesis of bis(1-imidazo[1,5-]pyridyl)arylmethanes and evaluation of cytotoxic activities.

A practical and efficient approach for the acid-catalysed synthesis of bis(1-imidazo[1,5-]pyridyl)arylmethane (BimPy) derivatives has been described. Interestingly, these BimPys showed potential cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines (SK-LU-1, MCF-7, HepG2).

Synthesis and Evaluation of Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities and of Novel Morpholinoalkoxychalcones.

Introduction: Chalcone compounds exhibit diverse bioactivities, attracting significant interest. Morpholine is a heterocycle commonly used in medicinal chemistry. It could enhance the potency, pharmacokinetics, and bioactivities of its compounds.
