Background: Extracranial malignant germ cell tumors (GCTs) generally exhibit favorable outcomes with contemporary therapeutic approaches. However, the outcomes of pediatric GCTs in Vietnam remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the clinical features, treatment modalities, and prognostic factors associated with survival outcomes in children with GCTs treated at Children's Hospital Number 2 (CH2) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

- The study investigates how different concentrations of diluted seawater (SW) in drinking water affect the health and habits of dairy goats in tropical regions, where saline intrusion is a growing concern due to climate change.
- Twenty dairy goats were divided into four groups and were given varying levels of saline water over a period of 49 days, with daily measurements of food and water intake and blood samples taken.
- Results showed that while dry matter intake wasn't affected, higher salinity significantly impacted water consumption and caused changes in urinary excretion and physiological responses, indicating that goats can adapt to low and moderate salinity but struggle more with high salinity levels.
Aims And Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of treatment following coronectomy on mandibular third molars with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) involvement.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was done on the mandibular third molars of 37 people (≥ 18 years old, 28 males, and 9 females) who needed a coronectomy and had a confirmed diagnosis of IAN in groups I, II, and III according to the classification of Q. Luo 2018, as found by CBCT.
Coinfections with (Mtb) and HIV-1 present a critical health challenge and require treatment for survival. We found that human M1 macrophages inhibit Mtb growth, while M2 macrophages, characterized by elevated Sirt2 expression, permit Mtb growth. Further, we found that HIV-1 augmented Sirt2 gene expression in MФs.

Although most BCCs are amenable to local treatment, there are limited therapeutic options for surgically unresectable locally advanced and metastatic BCCs. Activation of the sonic hedgehog signalling pathway plays a significant role in the development of most BCCs.
