Unprecedented large outbreak of malaria in Vietnam: Epidemiological and clinical perspectives.

, a causative agent of quartan malaria, is prevalent across tropical and subtropical regions, but global cases have been usually very rare and sporadic. However, a significant outbreak of quartan malaria caused by occurred in Khanh Vinh District, Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam in 2023 and the outbreak persists. In this report, we present the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of this unprecedented outbreak of quartan malaria in Vietnam.

Potential distribution of malaria vectors in Central Vietnam: A MaxEnt modeling approach.

Background And Aim: In Central Vietnam, and are the primary malaria vector species. These spp.' distribution and prevalence are determined by environmental, climatic, and socioeconomic conditions.

Bayesian spatio-temporal modelling of environmental, climatic, and socio-economic influences on malaria in Central Vietnam.

Background: Despite the successful efforts in controlling malaria in Vietnam, the disease remains a significant health concern, particularly in Central Vietnam. This study aimed to assess correlations between environmental, climatic, and socio-economic factors in the district with malaria cases.

Methods: The study was conducted in 15 provinces in Central Vietnam from January 2018 to December 2022.

Two plant-associated strains selected after genome analysis, metabolite profiling, and with proved biocontrol potential, were enhancing harvest yield of coffee and black pepper in large field trials.

Elimination of chemically synthesized pesticides, such as fungicides and nematicides, in agricultural products is a key to successful practice of the Vietnamese agriculture. We describe here the route for developing successful biostimulants based on members of the species complex. A number of endospore-forming Gram-positive bacterial strains with antagonistic action against plant pathogens were isolated from Vietnamese crop plants.

Clinical Features and Treatment Outcomes of COVID-19 Admissions in the Can Tho City Hospital of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, Vietnam: A Hospital-Based Observational Study.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, is among the top global health crises. As confirmed by the Vietnam Ministry of Health on 25th January 2023, Vietnam had a cumulative total of more than 11.52 million COVID-19 patients, including 10.

Cellulose Nanocrystals-Incorporated Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Controlled Release, 3D Printing, and Breast Cancer Treatment Applications.

-gel-forming thermoresponsive copolymers have been widely exploited in controlled delivery applications because their critical gel temperature is similar to human body temperature. However, there are limitations to controlling the delivery of biologics from a hydrogel network because of the poor networking and reinforcement between the copolymer networks. This study developed an -forming robust injectable and 3D printable hydrogel network based on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) incorporated amphiphilic copolymers, poly(ε-caprolactone--lactide)--poly(ethylene glycol)--poly(ε-caprolactone--lactide (PCLA).

A conceptual model for studying the immersive mobile augmented reality application-enhanced experience.

Purpose: This study aims to develop and propose an integrated conceptual framework that illustrates how emerging technologies such as mobile augmented reality applications (MAR apps) stimulate a user's immersive MAR app-enhanced experience-a human psychological state of being engaged and engrossed in a virtual environment-which in turn facilitates user responses.

Design/methodology/approach: This study draws on a literature review of related fields to develop a theoretical model showing the centrality of the immersive MAR app-enhanced experience.

Findings: A conceptual model that explicates the selected antecedents and outcomes of the AR-enhanced immersive experience is proposed.

Influenza Vaccination and Hospitalizations Among COVID-19 Infected Adults.

Introduction: To date, there are no effective treatments for decreasing hospitalizations in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections. It has been suggested that the influenza vaccine might attenuate the severity of COVID-19.

Methods: This is a retrospective single-centered cohort review of a de-identified database of 2005 patients over the age of 18 within the University of Florida health care system who tested positive for COVID-19.

Water and sanitation in schools: a systematic review of the health and educational outcomes.

A systematic review of the literature on the effects of water and sanitation in schools was performed. The goal was to characterize the impacts of water and sanitation inadequacies in the academic environment. Published peer reviewed literature was screened and articles that documented the provision of water and sanitation at schools were considered.
