Evaluation of Thoracic Morphological Changes Using Chest CT in Patients with Congenital Pectus Carinatum Treated by the Modified Abramson Technique.

Background: The Pectus carinatum is an outward protrusion deformity of the sternum and adjacent costal cartilages. It is the second most common congenital deformity of the anterior chest wall, commonly occuring in adolescents.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate thoracic morphological changes using computed tomography (CT) imaging in patients with pectus carinatum treated via the modified Abramson technique at Viet Duc University Hospital from 2020 to 2023.

"When she's there, I no longer worry about her being arrested"-Family perspectives on compulsory drug rehabilitation in Vietnam and implications for community-based services.

Introduction: Compulsory drug rehabilitation continues to be a major governmental response to illicit drug use in East and Southeast Asia despite repeated calls for its discontinuation. Extensive evidence from individuals with substance use disorders and advocacy groups highlights the adverse health, social and economic outcomes associated with compulsory drug rehabilitation. However, the perspective of families on this issue remains relatively unexplored.

Optimization of meropenem continuous infusion based on Monte Carlo simulation integrating with degradation study.

Objective: Meropenem degradation poses a challenge to continuous infusion (CI) implementation. However, data about the impact of degradation on the probability of target attainment (PTA) of meropenem has been limited. This study evaluated the stability of meropenem brands and the consequence of in-bottle degradation on PTA in different environmental scenarios.

Postoperative chylous ascites successfully managed by selective lymphatic embolization: Case report and literature review.

Postoperative chylous ascites is a rare complication following retroperitoneal surgeries, presenting significant challenges in diagnosis and management. Retroperitoneal cyst surgery resulting in chylous leaks is an uncommon complication that has not been previously reported in the literature. Therefore, we report a clinical case of postoperative chylous ascites following retroperitoneal cyst removal with underlying idiopathic thoracic duct obstruction.
