Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare clinical outcomes of embryo transfers using euploid blastocysts based on their timing (D5 vs. D6) and quality.
- Results showed that D5 embryos had a significantly higher live birth rate (55.04%) compared to D6 embryos (38.71%), with embryo quality being a key factor in these outcomes.
- The findings suggest that selecting excellent quality D5 embryos leads to better IVF success rates, impacting decisions made by IVF teams and patients.
Since the first report of chicken infectious anaemia virus (CIAV) in Vietnam in 2013, there have not been many studies focused on the detection of CIAV or the molecular characteristics of the virus. This study attempted to investigate the presence of CIAV in northern Vietnam by molecular-based methods. Regarding the spatial distribution of CIAV, the PCR-based results showed that CIAV was detected in 47 out of 64 farms (73.

- The study focuses on the diversity of bacterial strains in northern Vietnam, aiming to understand their population structure and resistance patterns.
- It analyzed 85 community isolates and 77 clinical isolates for meticillin resistance and the presence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), revealing significant differences in resistance rates especially among clonal complexes (CCs).
- The findings indicate a concerning spread of virulent strains in community settings, emphasizing the need for enhanced surveillance to track transmission mechanisms beyond clinical environments.
Article Synopsis
- Community-acquired K. pneumoniae pneumonia is prevalent in Asia and connected to alcohol use, with little existing knowledge on oropharyngeal carriage rates and related factors.
- A study conducted in Vietnam surveyed 1,029 individuals randomly selected based on demographics, finding an overall K. pneumoniae carriage rate of 14.1% and identifying key risk factors.
- Findings show that older age, smoking, rural living, and moderate to heavy alcohol consumption increase the likelihood of K. pneumoniae carriage, but further research is needed to determine if this carriage leads to pneumonia.
