Diffuse Gallbladder Adenomyomatosis in a Child.

Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder is a benign condition, usually occurring in middle age, in which the epithelium of the gallbladder proliferates and the gallbladder wall thickens with the presence of Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses (RAS). The diffuse form is an unusual subtype of adenomyomatosis. Herein, we describe a 17-year-old female who presented with dull and intermittent pain in the right hypochondriac region for more than a month.

Comparison of psychomotor development among children conceived through icsi in-vitro-fertilisation and naturally at 5 through 30 months of age, Vietnam.

Objective(s): To compare psychomotor development during 5 months to 30 months of age among children who were conceived via ICSI in-vitro fertilization to those conceived naturally.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study was conducted during 2017-2018 with children visiting Tu Du Hospital for scheduled health checks. We randomly recruited 935 five-to-thirty-month-old children and distributed them into two groups for comparison: a group of 426 ICSI/IVF children and a group of 509 Naturally Conceived (NC) children.

Intestinal Obstruction due to Acute Appendicitis.

Acute appendicitis has been proven to be a usual cause of mechanical small bowel obstruction since 1901, but there has been very little specific research on this subject. It usually occurs as an effect of adhesion because of periappendicular inflammation. Although previous studies exist, this presentation of acute appendicitis is not widely identified, which might lead to delays in making the right diagnosis and initiating treatment.

Cerebral Cysticercosis Presenting With Recurrent Epileptic Seizures.

Cerebral cysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of the human nervous system. It is endemic to some tropical countries but has rarely been described in Vietnam. We report three cases of neurocysticercosis in patients from north-west Vietnam presenting with recurrent epileptic seizures.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings and Their Association with Electroencephalogram Data in Children with Partial Epilepsy.

Background It is important to identify the neuroimaging features that are associated with partial epilepsy in children. Advances in technology have recently been made to localize focal epileptogenic lesions, especially high-resolution structural imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The recommendation that electroencephalography (EEG) should be the gold standard and that MRI should be optional has been questioned.

A Rare Case of Large Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor in a Child.

BACKGROUND Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) is a rare disease with low-grade malignancy potential of the pancreas. SPT accounts from 0.13% to 2.

The protective effect of rural life on mite sensitization disappears among urban migrants in the South of Vietnam.

Background: Rapid urbanization combined with rural migration to urban areas in southern Vietnam could be risk factors for allergen sensitization, contributing to chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of mite sensitization and its relation to house dust characteristics among rural and urban native and migrating populations with CRD.

Methods: Rural (n = 19) and urban (n = 46) dwellings were defined on the basis of a home typology.
