Normative data for the Vietnamese smell identification test.

Introduction: The 12-item Vietnamese smell identification test (VSIT) has been developed to evaluate the olfactory function of the Vietnamese population. This study aimed to investigate the normative value of the VSIT in different age groups and sexes.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Ho Chi Minh University Medical Center, Vietnam.

Development and validation of the Vietnamese smell identification test.

Background: Correct olfactory identification requires familiarity with the odor stimuli and is culturally dependent. Existing smell identification tests (SIT) are not culturally specific and may not be reliable in detecting hyposmia in all populations. This study aimed to develop a smell identification test suitable for Vietnamese patients (VSIT).

High Prevalence of Infection Among School-Aged Children in Ho Chi Minh City, VietNam.

There is no study on () infection in pupils of Ho Chi Minh city (HCMC), the most overcrowded city in Vietnam. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of and its geographical spread among school-aged children. A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 1854 pupils across 24 districts of HCMC in 2019.

The Implementation and Assessment of a Perioperative Co-Management of Surgical Services Rotation for Medical Students.

Objective: To develop a hospital-based perioperative surgical co-management curriculum rotation to provide educational value to fourth year medical students, many of whom are future surgical trainees. We leveraged our Hospitalist service which comanages patients with many surgical subspecialties to teach students about preoperative optimization, postoperative management of both acute medical issues and chronic comorbidities, and the interprofessional team for surgical care.

Design: Medical students were assigned to surgical co-management services on two to four week rotations.

The effect of Non-Motor symptoms on Health-Related quality of life in patients with young onset Parkinson's Disease: A single center Vietnamese Cross-Sectional study.

Background: Young onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) is a distinct entity from typical late onset Parkinson's disease (LOPD). The influene of non-motor features on the health - related quality of life (HRQoL) in LOPD has been previously reported, but little is known about the impact of non-motor features in YOPD.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between non-motor burden and HRQoL in patients with YOPD.

Tracking the sensory environment: an ERP study of probability and context updating in ASD.

We recorded visual event-related brain potentials from 32 adult male participants (16 high-functioning participants diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 16 control participants, ranging in age from 18 to 53 years) during a three-stimulus oddball paradigm. Target and non-target stimulus probability was varied across three probability conditions, whereas the probability of a third non-target stimulus was held constant in all conditions. P3 amplitude to target stimuli was more sensitive to probability in ASD than in typically developing participants, whereas P3 amplitude to non-target stimuli was less responsive to probability in ASD participants.
