Knowledge and Attitude Related to Hepatitis C among Medical Students in the Oral Direct Acting Antiviral Agents Era in Vietnam.

Background: Medical students play important frontline roles in the prevention, early detection, and treatment of hepatitis C. This study investigated knowledge and attitudes toward hepatitis C among 5th- and 6th-year medical students and possible associated factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2000 students from eight medical universities using a self-administered structured questionnaire.

Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease in a Vietnamese adult female: Case report and literature review.

Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is a rare disease in the Asian population and might be overlooked in clinical practice. Early diagnosis is crucial to initiate treatment and to prevent disease progression. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the modality of choice for diagnosing and assessing this disorder.

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices toward Hepatitis B Virus Infection among Students of Medicine in Vietnam.

Background: Building capacity in hepatitis B virus prevention and management for medical students and health professionals is one of the pillars of the national viral hepatitis control strategy.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at eight medical universities from the northern, central and southern regions of the country between May and November 2020 using a systematic random sampling technique.

Results: Among 2000 participants, 84.

LI-RADS v2018 major criteria: Do hepatocellular carcinomas in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis differ from those in virus-induced chronic liver disease on MRI?

Purpose: LI-RADS v2018 diagnostic system is used to diagnose hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in at risk patients. However, its applicability to HCC in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has not been specifically studied. The purpose of this study was to assess the applicability of LI-RADS v2018 diagnostic system for HCC in patients with NASH.

Three new phenolic compounds from the lichen Ach. (Ramalinaceae).

Three new phenolic compounds, peruvinides A-C were isolated from the lichen Ach. (Ramalinaceae). Their structures were unambiguously determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with literature data.

Removal of Lindane from Aqueous Solution Using Aluminum Hydroxide Nanoparticles with Surface Modification by Anionic Surfactant.

In the present study, we investigated the removal of an emerging pesticide lindane from aqueous solution using synthesized aluminum hydroxide Al(OH) (bayerite) nanomaterials with surface modification by an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The Al(OH) nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and zeta potential. The lindane removal using SDS-modified nano-aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles (SMNAH) achieved removal of up to 93.
