The burden of headache disorders among medical students in Vietnam: estimates from a cross-sectional study with a health-care needs assessment.

Background: In our previous study, we demonstrated that headaches are highly prevalent among medical students in Vietnam. In the present study, we provide estimates of the associated symptom burden and impaired participation, utilizing these estimates to assess headache-related healthcare needs within this population.

Methods: The study followed the standardized methodology established by the Global Campaign against Headache.

Risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer in the era of ERAS protocols: A retrospective observational study.

Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) is a major surgery associated with a high morbidity rate. Perioperative fluid management according to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aims to maintain patients in an optimal euvolemic state while exposing them to acute kidney injury (AKI) in the event of hypovolemia. Postoperative AKI is associated with severe morbidity and mortality.

The Impact of Vaccination on the Likelihood of COVID-19 Infection.

The current study investigates COVID-19 infection likelihood using data from 5,819 respondents in Vietnam and Indonesia (December 10, 2022, to March 27, 2023) through binary logistic regressions. Descriptive statistics highlight the significance of vaccination status, with almost half of unvaccinated respondents contracting the infection. The second vaccine dose showed the lowest infection percentages, suggesting a potential dose-dependent effect.

Predicting the risk of type 2 diabetes: Standardized diabetes risk score among the Khmer ethnic minority in Vietnam.

Background: Predicting the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes, as well as identifying the factors that increase this risk, helps the population adjust the modifiable risk factors, improve quality of life, and reduce the disease burden.

Subjects And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 918 ethnic Khmer minority people aged 40 and above in Vietnam who had never been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Objective: To predict the 10-year risk of type 2 diabetes, the Finnish Diabetes Risk Scoring Scale, adjusted for the Asian population with modification of the waist circumpherence and Body Mass Index Cut-Offs, was used.

Myo5B plays a significant role in the hyphal growth and virulence of the human pathogenic fungus .

Mucormycosis is an emerging and deadly invasive fungal infection caused by fungi belonging to the Mucorales order. We investigated the myosin superfamily, which encompasses diverse actin-based motor proteins with various cellular functions. Specifically, the role of the Myo5B (ID 179665) protein from the myosin class V family in was explored by generating silencing phenotypes and null mutants corresponding to the gene.

Essential Oils of Four Virginia Mountain Mint () Varieties Grown in North Alabama.

Virginia mountain mint () is a peppermint-flavored aromatic herb of the Lamiaceae and is mainly used for culinary, medicinal, aromatic, and ornamental purposes. North Alabama's climate is conducive to growing mint for essential oils used in culinary, confectionery, and medicinal purposes. There is, however, a need for varieties of that can be adapted and easily grown for production in North Alabama.

Variation in the Chemical Composition of Five Varieties of Rhizome Essential Oils Cultivated in North Alabama.

Turmeric ( L.) is an important spice, particularly is Asian cuisine, and is also used in traditional herbal medicine. Curcuminoids are the main bioactive agents in turmeric, but turmeric essential oils also contain health benefits.

Intraoperative Hemorrhagic Shock in Cancer Surgical Patients: Short and Long-Term Mortality and Associated Factors.

Background: Management of hemorrhagic shock is well codified by international guidelines. These guidelines are predominantly based on trauma patients. We aimed to evaluate factors associated with 30-day mortality and long-term survival after intraoperative hemorrhagic shock during major oncological surgery.

Cytotoxic constituents from the fungus Daldinia concentrica (Xylariaceae).

Phytochemical study on the methanol extract of the fruit bodies of Vietnamese fungus Daldinia concentrica has led to the isolation and structural elucidation of three cytotoxic constituents, 6,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-3,4-dihydroisocoumarin (1), (22R)-hydroxylanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-3-one (2) and ergosterol (3). Their structures were elucidated by 2D-NMR and FT-ICR-MS. All the three compounds showed moderate cytotoxicity against four cancer cells, KB (a human epidermal carcinoma), MCF7 (human breast carcinoma), SK-LU-1 (human lung carcinoma) and HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma).

Use of an Automatic Methane Potential Test System for evaluating the biomethane potential of sugarcane bagasse after different treatments.

A multi-channel analyzer was used to evaluate biogas potential of sugarcane bagasse (SCB). The Automatic Methane Potential Test System contained fifteen parallel reactors and the same number of gas flow meters attached to the acquisition system. The set of reactors - gas flow meters gave reproducible results during anaerobic digestion of chemically defined carbon source and the units were used to evaluate the biomethane potential of SCB after different pretreatments, such as treatment with water, acid, acid followed by enzymatic treatment and acid followed by treatment with inactive enzymes.
