Distribution and antifungal susceptibility of species causing vulvovaginal candidiasis and urinary tract infection in Medlatec healthcare system, Ha Noi city, Vietnam in 2023.

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis and urinary tract infections caused by are common diseases. While the most common causative agent is , other species, such as non-, can also be responsible. Susceptibility to antifungal drugs varies among species, but there is very limited information available from Vietnam.

Role of cell-free DNA levels in the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis and bacteremia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Sepsis remains a major cause of mortality in intensive care units (ICUs). Prompt diagnosis and effective management are imperative for better outcomes. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we explore the potential of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), as a promising tool for early sepsis detection and prognosis assessment, aiming to address limitations associated with traditional diagnostic methods.

Two-channel optical bistability and multistability in a degenerate four-level atomic medium under a static magnetic field.

In this paper, we study the formation of optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) in a degenerate four-level atomic system by an external magnetic field that is excited by a probe laser field, a coupling laser field and a signal laser field. The coupling field can cause electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) for the probe field in the atomic medium, while the signal field and/or external magnetic field can switch between single-EIT and two-EIT regimes. Based on these properties, OB and OM effects can be formed at two different frequency regions of the probe field (two channels).

Evaluation of COVID-19 protease and HIV inhibitors interactions.

The epidemic of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that started in 2019 has evoked an urgent demand for finding new potential therapeutic agents. In this study, we performed a molecular docking of anti-HIV drugs to refine HIV protease inhibitors and nucleotide analogues to target COVID-19. The evaluation was based on docking scores calculated by AutoDock Vina and top binding poses were analyzed.
