Purpose: To characterize the spectrum of uveitis in patients visiting three tertiary hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Methods: This study collected prospective and multicenter data from patients diagnosed with uveitis at three tertiary hospitals in Hanoi City, Vietnam, between January 2022 and January 2024. Data on age, sex, clinical and laboratory findings, and etiology were collected.

Microalgae - bacteria based wastewater treatment systems: Granulation, influence factors and pollutants removal.

Wastewater treatment based on microalgae and bacteria symbiosis is an environmentally friendly, sustainable technology that has attracted attention recently because of its high efficiency in treating pollutants, saving energy, and short-term biomass recovery. Among them, the granular microalgae and bacteria combination emerges with the advantages of rapid gravity settling, good resistance to adverse environmental conditions, outstanding wastewater treatment performance, and easy biomass recovery. This review aims to clarify the microalgal-bacterial granule (MBG) - based process for wastewater treatment.

Combined Cell-Free DNA Screening for Aneuploidies and Selected Single-Gene Disorders for Pregnancies With Sonographically Detected Fetal Anomalies: Detection Rate and Residual Risk.

Objectives: To determine the additional detection rate (DR) and the residual risk (RR) of combined cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening for aneuploidies (not including copy number variants) and 25 dominant single-gene disorders (SGD) in pregnancies with sonographic abnormalities.

Method: One hundred sixteen singleton pregnant women with abnormal fetal ultrasounds from week 12 were included in the study. They underwent combined cfDNA analysis, while exome sequencing and karyotyping were performed as reference standards.
