Factors influencing medication adherence among hypertensive patients in primary care settings in Central Vietnam: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Medication adherence plays a crucial role in effectively managing hypertension, a significant public health concern, especially in regions like Central Vietnam. This study aimed to assess medication adherence levels among hypertensive patients in primary care settings and explore the factors influencing adherence within this specific population.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate medication adherence and its determinants among individuals with hypertension in Central Vietnam.

Endohedral boron-doped scandium clusters BSc ( = 2-3, = 3-13): triangular - linear rearrangement of the B dopant.

A theoretical investigation, employing density functional theory with the PBE functional and the Def2-TZVP basis set, comprehensively explores the geometric and electronic structures and properties of the boron doped scandium clusters BSc with = 2-3 and = 3-13. Introduction of B atoms significantly enhances the stability of the resulting clusters with respect to the initial counterparts. As the number of B atoms increases, the stability of the doped clusters improves, following the order: BSc > BSc > BSc > Sc.

Enterococcus avium Infection After Liver Transplantation in Vietnam: A Case Report.

Background: The infectious complications are the most common and can be life-threatening to liver transplant recipients, in particular, within the first month after transplantation. Early diagnosis of these severe complications and accurate detection of causative etiologies are crucial for the choice of therapeutic strategies and management of liver transplants.

Case Report: We present a case report of a patient with a history of primary sclerosing cholangitis who underwent a liver transplantation (LT) from a living donor.

Investigation of the free radical scavenging ability of l-tryptophan and its derivatives using experimental methods and quantum chemical calculations.

The free radical scavenging ability of l-tryptophan (LP) and 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan (HLP) was evaluated using experimental and theoretical methods. The impact of antioxidant concentration on the scavenging of DPPH˙ and ABTS˙ free radicals was assessed for both compounds. The results indicated that HLP exhibited superior scavenging ability, with IC values of 31.

Insights into Nitrogen-Associated Protein 50 (NAP50) as a Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase in Dinoflagellates.

Nitrogen-associated protein 50 (NAP50) is an abundant plastid protein with an unknown function identified in (Dinophyceae). No progress has been made in discovering the function of NAP50 since its first characterization in 2009. The present study is a continuation of work on the predicted function of NAP50.
