Background And Aims: Pectus carinatum (PC) is the second most common deformity of the anterior chest wall, resulting in detrimental effects on body image and quality of life. This study evaluated the safety, effectiveness, and factors associated with the treatment of PC using a sandwiched bar and screw fixation system, first performed in Vietnam at the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City in 2016.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted from March 2016 to February 2023 in patients with PC and PC-mixed pectus excavatum (PE) deformities.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic value of percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy biopsy (PTCB) for identifying the causes of biliary strictures.
Methods: This retrospective study included 34 patients (18 females and 16 males), with a mean age of 59.4 ± 13 years.
Malignant transformation of a mature teratoma in the duodenum: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
January 2025
Introduction: Mature teratomas of the duodenum are extremely rare, with only five cases reported in the English literature and none documented in Vietnam. Malignant transformation within a mature teratoma presents a challenging scenario for diagnosis and management, requiring a nuanced approach to treatment.
Presentation Of Case: We report the first documented case of malignant transformation in a duodenal mature teratoma in Vietnam.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the prevalence of depression among 410 patients with post-COVID-19 conditions at a hospital in Southern Vietnam, revealing that 23.7% of patients experienced depression, mostly at mild levels.
- - Factors linked to increased depression rates include being 50 years or older, education level, employment status, marital status, chronic diseases, and various post-COVID symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.
- - The findings highlight a significant mental health crisis post-COVID-19, emphasizing the need for ongoing mental health support and improved quality of life for affected individuals.
Article Synopsis
- Crop establishment is crucial for rice production; this study focuses on mechanized wet direct seeding (mDSR) as a better alternative to traditional methods in Vietnam’s Mekong River Delta.
- The research compares various seeding techniques over two cropping seasons, highlighting how mDSR with lower seed rates significantly reduces seedling density variation and maintains comparable yields to broadcast seeding (bDSR), while also improving nitrogen productivity.
- mDSR not only leads to higher incomes and lower fertilizer use but also results in a smaller carbon footprint compared to bDSR, making it a more sustainable option for rice production.
