Status of Digital Health Technology Adoption in 5 Vietnamese Hospitals: Cross-Sectional Assessment.

Background: Digital health technologies (DHTs) have been recognized as a key solution to help countries, especially those in the low- and middle-income group, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the World Health Organization's (WHO) Triple Billion Targets. In hospital settings, DHTs need to be designed and implemented, considering the local context, to achieve usability and sustainability. As projects such as the Vietnam ICU Translational Applications Laboratory are seeking to integrate new digital technologies in the Vietnamese critical care settings, it is important to understand the current status of DHT adoption in Vietnamese hospitals.

Deer antler velvet (Cervus elaphus sibiricus) promotes fracture healing via partial BMP2-Smad mediated osteoblast differentiation.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND CERVUS ELAPHUS SIBIRICUS: (CES) has been traditionally used in Korean clinics to promote fracture healing based on its function of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening bones. However, experimental data supporting its efficacy are still insufficient. The aim of this study investigated the bone-union properties of CES in a femoral fracture animal model and its corresponding molecular mechanisms.

Anxiety and stress among Vietnamese health workers during the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant: a cross-sectional study.

The prevalence and contributing factors of mental health issues among health workers in Vietnam during the early 2022 Omicron wave remain underexplored. This study investigated the prevalence and factors associated with anxiety and stress among health workers in a Vietnamese hospital during this period. A cross-sectional study, conducted from February 28 to April 14, 2022, at Hanoi Medical University Hospital, assessed anxiety and stress among 754 frontline health workers using the DASS-21 questionnaire via a Google survey.

Associations between dose-response of serum creatinine and type 2 diabetes mellitus risk: consistent and robust evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Skeletal muscle is the key target of insulin action. Therefore, a reduction in skeletal muscle mass may trigger insulin resistance, a mechanism of diabetes. Creatinine is the only metabolite of creatine phosphate in the skeletal muscle.

NSE protein detection in a microfluidic channel integrated an electrochemical biosensor.

This study proposed a microfluidic chip for the detection and quantification of NSE proteins, aimed at developing a rapid point-of-care testing system for early lung cancer diagnosis. The proposed chip structure integrated an electrochemical biosensor within a straight PDMS microchannel, enabling a significant reduction in sample volume. Additionally, a method was developed to deposit silver and silver chloride layers onto the reference electrode.
