Validating the ratio of insulin like growth factor binding protein 4 to sex hormone binding globulin as a prognostic predictor of preterm birth in Viet Nam: a case-cohort study.

Objective: To validate a serum biomarker developed in the USA for preterm birth (PTB) risk stratification in Viet Nam.

Methods: Women with singleton pregnancies ( = 5000) were recruited between 19-23 weeks' gestation at Tu Du Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City. Maternal serum was collected from 19-22 weeks' gestation and participants followed to neonatal discharge.

Highly Stable White Light Emission from III-Nitride Nanowire LEDs Utilizing Nanostructured Alumina-Doped Mn and Mg.

In this report, red-emitting alumina nanophosphors doped with Mn and Mg (AlO:Mn, Mg) are synthesized by a hydrothermal method using a Pluronic surfactant. The prepared samples are ceramic-sintered at various temperatures. X-ray diffraction shows that AlO:Mn, Mg annealed at 500 °C exhibits a cubic γ-AlO phase with the space group 3-227.

Enhancement of Green Soybean Growth and Yield in Alluvial Soil by Potent N-fixing Rhizospheric Bacteria.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Nitrogen fertilizer causes adverse effects on the environment aspect, so biological nitrogen sources should be applied in agriculture. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of N₂-fixing rhizospheric bacteria in improving soil fertility, nitrogen (N) uptake, growth and yield of green soybean (<i>Glycine max</i> (L.) Merr).

Comparison of psychomotor development among children conceived through icsi in-vitro-fertilisation and naturally at 5 through 30 months of age, Vietnam.

Objective(s): To compare psychomotor development during 5 months to 30 months of age among children who were conceived via ICSI in-vitro fertilization to those conceived naturally.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study was conducted during 2017-2018 with children visiting Tu Du Hospital for scheduled health checks. We randomly recruited 935 five-to-thirty-month-old children and distributed them into two groups for comparison: a group of 426 ICSI/IVF children and a group of 509 Naturally Conceived (NC) children.
