Parental and Medical Classification of Neurodevelopment in Children Born Preterm.

Background And Objectives: The likelihood and severity of neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) affects critical health care decisions. NDI definitions were developed without parental perspectives. We investigated the agreement between parental vs medical classification of NDI among children born preterm.

Occurrence and ecological risks of antibiotics and antiparasitics in surface water in urban lakes in Hanoi city, Vietnam.

The presence of antibiotics in the environment is of significant concern due to their adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. This study provides an assessment of potential ecological risks (RQ) associated with the concentrations of eight antibiotics and antiparasitics (amoxicillin-AMO, azithromycin-AZI, ciprofloxacine-CIP, ofloxacine-OFL, oxfendazole-OXF, lincomycin-LIN, sulfacetamide-SCE and sulfamethoxazole-SME) in the surface water of 13 urban lakes in Hanoi city, Vietnam during the period 2021-2023. The findings revealed considerable variations in the total concentrations of these 8 substances (T), ranging from below the method detection limit (< MDL) to 2240 ng L with an average of 330.

Emotional Competence of Healthcare Workers and Its Impact on Patient Loyalty in Vietnamese Hospitals.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of healthcare employees' emotional competence (EC) on patient loyalty in public and private hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, with a focus on the mediating roles of respect, trust, and rapport.

Method: A survey of 244 patients measured respect, trust, rapport, EC, and patient loyalty using a 5-point Likert scale. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to assess the relationships between EC and patient loyalty, comparing results between public and private hospitals.

Synthesis of alkyl sulfones a photocatalytic multicomponent reaction of aryldiazo tetrafluoroborate salts, styrene derivatives, and sodium metabisulfite.

Alkyl sulfones are found in numerous valuable organic molecules. Here, we describe a promising approach for the one-pot synthesis of alkyl sulfones under visible light. Aryl diazo salts were allowed to react with styrene derivatives and sodium metabisulfite in the presence of thiophenol as a hydrogen atom transfer reagent and rhodamine B as a photocatalyst to yield alkyl sulfones.
