Factors correlated with neuropathic pain among industrial workers in Vietnam: a multi-site cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Neuropathic pain is a debilitating condition resulting from various etiologies such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and infection, and is associated with decreased quality of life, poor health outcomes, and increased economic burden. However, epidemiological studies on neuropathic pain have been largely limited in Vietnam.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on adult Vietnamese industrial workers across three manufacturing plants.

A novel single-point mutation of NEFH and biallelic SACS mutation presenting as intermediate form Charcot-Marie-Tooth: A case report in Vietnam.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is among the most common group of inherited neuromuscular diseases. mutations were demonstrated to cause autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS). However, there have been few case reports regarding to and gene mutation to CMT in Vietnamese patients, and the diagnosis of and in the clinical setting still overlapped.

Survival outcomes of the combination of extrafascial extrahepatic and extrafascial intrahepatic pedicle approaches in hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate the results of hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by the combination of extrafascial extrahepatic (Takasaki method) and extrafascial intrahepatic pedicle approaches (Ton That Tung method).

Material And Methods: A longitudinal follow-up study was conducted on 83 patients undergoing hepatectomy for HCC using the combination of extrafascial extrahepatic (Takasaki method) and extrafascial intrahepatic pedicle approaches at Nghe An Provincial Hospital from April 2017 to July 2021. Survival analysis was applied.

Gallbladder volvulus and hernia through the foramen of Winslow: a case report.

Gallbladder hernia through the foramen of Winslow is an uncommon condition and gallbladder hernia combined with volvulus is even rarer. A 70-year-old patient was hospitalized with the clinical signs of pain in the right hypochondriac region associated with fever. The computed tomography scan images showed some signs of gallbladder herniation through the foramen of Winslow.

Genome sequence data of sp. SS52, an endophytic strain for daidzein biosynthesis.

We report here the biosynthesis of daidzein in sp. SS52, its genome sequence and the analysis of its genome for finding putative genes involved in daidzein biosynthesis. The sp.

Knowledge, Attitude and Practice about Dengue Fever among Patients Experiencing the 2017 Outbreak in Vietnam.

There is a gap in the literature on the understanding of the general Vietnamese population toward dengue fever (DF). This study aimed to explore knowledge, attitudes, practice (KAP) of dengue fever among Vietnamese participants and the potential associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 330 patients at the Bach Mai Hospital in Northern Vietnam.

Impact of Comorbid Chronic Conditions to Quality of Life among Elderly Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Vietnam.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major cause of disease burden in the elderly population. This study aimed to measure the quality of life (QOL) among patients with T2DM and the associations between co-morbidities and QOL. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 194 patients with T2DM.

Developing a self-reported tool on fall risk based on toileting responses on in-hospital falls.

The aim of this cohort study was to determine the predictive value of a 2-item self-reported questionnaire regarding in-hospital toileting behavior for predicting falls in older inpatients and to compare its performance with an existing state-based falls assessment scale. Between May 28, 2009 and January 30, 2010, we assessed aged care inpatients for risk of falls using the standard STRATIFY fall screening tool and the 2-item self-reported questionnaire developed for this study. The participants were then followed up, with the primary outcome being the occurrence of falls.

Clinical outcomes and length of stay of a co-located psychogeriatric and geriatric unit.

To examine the effect of co-location of psychogeriatric and geriatric services on length of stay and changes in patients' psychosocial characteristics. A retrospective analysis of the performance indices of psychogeriatric patients aged > or =50 years admitted to a co-located psychogeriatric and geriatric unit at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital, New South Wales (NSW), Australia from April 2004 to June 2006. Comparisons were made between the performance of the Bankstown-Lidcombe's unit and the NSW state average (consisting of traditional solitary models of care) with respect to patients' length of stay (LOS) and changes in psychosocial indices.

Traumatic retroperitoneal hematoma illustrated on Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy in a patient presenting with a fall.

Retroperitoneal haematoma is rarely described in the context of bone scintigraphy, as it is usually an incidental discovery on bone scan carried out for another purpose. We report a case of a right retroperitoneal haematoma detected on Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy taken in an elderly patient presenting with a mechanical fall and a right acetabular fracture.
