Preliminary and Intermediate-Term Results of the Novel Modification of Frozen Elephant Trunk: A Single-Center Study.

We evaluate the preliminary and intermediate-term results of Viet Duc modification of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique. During December 2019 and May 2023, 47 patients underwent surgery using our modification of the FET at Viet Duc University Hospital. The mean age of the patients was 56.

CapNet: An Automatic Attention-Based with Mixer Model for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Image Segmentation.

Deep neural networks have shown excellent performance in medical image segmentation, especially for cardiac images. Transformer-based models, though having advantages over convolutional neural networks due to the ability of long-range dependence learning, still have shortcomings such as having a large number of parameters and and high computational cost. Additionally, for better results, they are often pretrained on a larger data, thus requiring large memory size and increasing resource expenses.

Risk assessment of 3-MCPD esters and glycidyl esters from the formulas for infants and young children up to 36 months of age.

Esters of 2-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (2-MCPD), 3- monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), and glycidol are present in infant formulas, follow-on foods and similar compositions. They arise mainly from the vegetable oil content and may cause harmful effects in consumers. The contents of these substances in formulas were determined indirectly by converting the esters to the free form, followed by derivatization and analysis by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).

Diagnosis and Treatment for Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures with Brachial Artery Injuries.

(1) Background: This study aims to describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of and the diagnostic approach to brachial artery injuries in pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, as well as to evaluate intraoperative vascular anatomical lesions and early postoperative results. (2) Methods: A retrospective, hospital-based analysis of medical records at Viet Duc University Hospital (Vietnam), using a sample of children under 16 years who met the diagnostic criteria for supracondylar humerus fractures with brachial artery injuries between January 2016 and December 2020, was performed. A total of 50 patients were included in the analysis.
