There is a pressing need for biomarkers of violent behavior risk in psychosis. Previous research indicates that electrophysiological measures of automatic defensive reactions may have potential. The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between violent behavior in individuals with and without psychosis and electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) responses to startling auditory stimuli.

Various methods of electrospinning have been applied for different applications, from needle electrospinning to needleless electrospinning. A relatively new variation of electrospinning, namely near-field electrospinning, has been used to generate well-defined patterns.

We aimed to uncover genes and pathways associated with TBM pathogenesis and mortality, and determine the best predictors of death, utilizing whole-blood RNA sequencing from 281 Vietnamese adults with TBM, 295 pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and 30 healthy controls. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we identified hub genes and pathways linked to TBM severity and mortality, with a consensus analysis revealing distinct patterns between HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals.

- This study explored genomic selection (GS) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in Vietnamese dairy cattle for various traits related to milk production and health, despite limited individual phenotype data from smallholder farms.
- Researchers collected phenotype data from 345 lactating cows across 32 smallholder dairy farms in different regions of Vietnam, alongside genetic samples for analysis.
- The heritability estimates ranged from moderate to very low for different traits, indicating variability in genetic potential, with low accuracy for genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) suggesting challenges in breeding predictions.
Objective: This study aims to explore the associated impairments of cerebral palsy (CP) and their correlates among children with CP in Vietnam.
Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study using hospital-based surveillance.
Setting: National Children's Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam between June and November 2017.
