Mangrove forest plays a very important role for both ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation. In Vietnam, mangrove is mainly distributed in the Mekong delta. Recently, mangrove areas in this region decreased rapidly in both quality and quantity.

- Duodenal obstruction from gallstones, known as Bouveret's syndrome, is a rare but challenging complication of gallstone disease, often hard to diagnose due to non-specific symptoms.
- An 85-year-old woman experienced gastric outlet obstruction, and her diagnosis was confirmed through CT scan showing duodenal obstruction and a giant gallstone, which required a specialized surgical approach.
- The case highlights that surgical intervention, particularly a radical one-stage procedure, can be effective and safe for treating patients with significant gallstone-related duodenal obstruction.
Background: Advances in earth observation and machine learning techniques have created new options for forest monitoring, primarily because of the various possibilities that they provide for classifying forest cover and estimating aboveground biomass (AGB).
Methods: This study aimed to introduce a novel model that incorporates the atom search algorithm (ASO) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) into mangrove forest classification and AGB estimation. The Ca Mau coastal area was selected as a case study since it has been considered the most preserved mangrove forest area in Vietnam and is being investigated for the impacts of land-use change on forest quality.
