Background And Objectives: Identification of pnemococcal serotypes and antimicrobial resistance provides helpful information for the use of suitable vaccines and antibiotics; however, very limited data is available on these issues in Vietnam. The present study aimed to find the serotype distribution and drug resistance patterns of isolated from unvaccinated children less than 5 years of age with pneumonia at a province in centre Vietnam.
Materials And Methods: A total of 126 clinical pnemococcal strains isolated from unvaccinated children less than 5 years of age with pneumonia at the Nghe An province, Vietnam between Nov 2019 and Mar 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the coprescription of mood stabilizers (MSs) with antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia across 14 Asian countries, finding that 13.6% of patients received MSs, often at high doses.
- Factors associated with MS use included demographic variables like younger age and female sex, as well as clinical aspects like longer illness duration and more severe symptoms.
- Results suggest that patients on high doses of MSs had a less favorable illness trajectory and were more challenging to treat, indicating that adjunctive MS treatment may reflect greater severity of illness.
Article Synopsis
- Patterns of clinical use of long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics for treating schizophrenia in Asia are not well documented, with an average of 17.9% of patients receiving these medications across 15 countries.
- Patients on LAIs tend to be older, have a history of multiple hospitalizations, and experience more severe symptoms like disorganized behavior or aggression, but they also show slightly better psychosocial functioning.
- There are significant variations in the use of LAI antipsychotics among Asian countries, and clinicians need to consider both the benefits and potential adverse effects when prescribing these treatments.
This study aimed to evaluate the potentially beneficial effects of alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) on the modulation of immuno-metabolic pathways in high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obese zebrafish and the underlying mechanism. AOS showed a marked anti-obesity effect in that it reduced body weight, BMI, and the blood glucose level. To understand the mechanisms of action of AOS, comparative proteomics was performed through UPLC-HDMS analysis between HFD vs.

Characterization and utilization of the bioactive compounds from natural resources is one of the most concerns to maintain quality properties of foods, especially to prevent the oxidation of lipids in meat products. Phytochemical components and antioxidant activities of (CT) leaves extracted using various solvents and their effects on physicochemical properties of pork patties during refrigerated storage were measured. The combined solvents of 80% ethanol, 80% methanol and pure double-distilled (dd)-water obtained the higher total phenolic compounds, flavonoids content, and antioxidant activities as compared to the pure solvent alone.
