In silico identification of Histone Deacetylase inhibitors using Streamlined Masked Transformer-based Pretrained features.

Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that regulate gene expression by removing acetyl groups from histones. They are involved in various diseases, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, inflammatory, and metabolic disorders, as well as fibrosis in the liver, lungs, and kidneys. Successfully identifying potent HDAC inhibitors may offer a promising approach to treating these diseases.

 (Poaceae, Bambusoideae), a new species from southern Vietnam.

from Vietnam is described and illustrated. It is found in southern Vietnam, where it occurs at an elevation of 1400-1500 m in Voi Mountain, Duc Trong District, Lam Dong Province. This new species is distinguished from a similar species, , by culm nodes with a thick swollen patella, culm leaf blades erect, auricles conspicuous, margins bearing long hairs, palea dorsal view showing rachilla extension and rudimentary floret at the apex and lodicules purple gradually towards the top.

Rifampicin resistant in Vietnam, 2020-2022.

Objective: We conducted a descriptive analysis of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Vietnam's two largest cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city.

Methods: All patients with rifampicin resistant tuberculosis were recruited from Hanoi and surrounding provinces between 2020 and 2022. Additional patients were recruited from Ho Chi Minh city over the same time period.

Predicting Cardiotoxicity of Molecules Using Attention-Based Graph Neural Networks.

In drug discovery, the search for new and effective medications is often hindered by concerns about toxicity. Numerous promising molecules fail to pass the later phases of drug development due to strict toxicity assessments. This challenge significantly increases the cost, time, and human effort needed to discover new therapeutic molecules.

Spatial Analysis of Drug-Susceptible and Multidrug-Resistant Cases of Tuberculosis, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 2020-2023.

We characterized the spatial distribution of drug-susceptible (DS) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) cases in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a major metropolis in southeastern Asia, and explored demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with local TB burden. Hot spots of DS and MDR TB incidence were observed in the central parts of Ho Chi Minh City, and substantial heterogeneity was observed across wards. Positive spatial autocorrelation was observed for both DS TB and MDR TB.
