Characterization and Abundance of Plasmid-Dependent Alphatectivirus Bacteriophages.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat, exacerbated by the ability of bacteria to rapidly disseminate antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG). Since conjugative plasmids of the incompatibility group P (IncP) are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements that often carry ARG and are broad-host-range, they are important targets to prevent the dissemination of AMR. Plasmid-dependent phages infect plasmid-carrying bacteria by recognizing components of the conjugative secretion system as receptors.

Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Profile of Isolated from Pork and Chicken Meat in Vietnam.

is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens as it can cause food poisoning in humans and necrotic enteritis in both animals and humans. Meat, especially pork and chicken meat, is considered the main vehicle for the transmission of from animals to humans. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, toxinotype, and antimicrobial resistance profile of isolated from pork and chicken meat sold in Vietnam.

Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with selective renal artery clamping for renal cell carcinoma: initial outcomes.

Introduction: To explore the feasibility and safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) with selective artery clamp (SAC) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods: The authors recruited three men and two women who underwent RLPN for T1 RCC between December 2022 and May 2023 at a tertiary hospital. The median age of the patients was 32 years (range, 25-70 years).

Deep Learning for Human Activity Recognition on 3D Human Skeleton: Survey and Comparative Study.

Human activity recognition (HAR) is an important research problem in computer vision. This problem is widely applied to building applications in human-machine interactions, monitoring, etc. Especially, HAR based on the human skeleton creates intuitive applications.

YOLO Series for Human Hand Action Detection and Classification from Egocentric Videos.

Hand detection and classification is a very important pre-processing step in building applications based on three-dimensional (3D) hand pose estimation and hand activity recognition. To automatically limit the hand data area on egocentric vision (EV) datasets, especially to see the development and performance of the "You Only Live Once" (YOLO) network over the past seven years, we propose a study comparing the efficiency of hand detection and classification based on the YOLO-family networks. This study is based on the following problems: (1) systematizing all architectures, advantages, and disadvantages of YOLO-family networks from version (v)1 to v7; (2) preparing ground-truth data for pre-trained models and evaluation models of hand detection and classification on EV datasets (FPHAB, HOI4D, RehabHand); (3) fine-tuning the hand detection and classification model based on the YOLO-family networks, hand detection, and classification evaluation on the EV datasets.

Unified End-to-End YOLOv5-HR-TCM Framework for Automatic 2D/3D Human Pose Estimation for Real-Time Applications.

Three-dimensional human pose estimation is widely applied in sports, robotics, and healthcare. In the past five years, the number of CNN-based studies for 3D human pose estimation has been numerous and has yielded impressive results. However, studies often focus only on improving the accuracy of the estimation results.

The use of composting for the disposal of African swine fever virus-infected swine carcasses.

African swine fever (ASF) has been considered as one of the most important and devastating swine diseases with high mortality rates. Since effective vaccines and treatment are not available, mass euthanasia of infected and exposed pigs has been known to be the best measure to control ASF. Although composting has been proved to be a safe method for the rapid disposal of animal carcasses during outbreaks, there is no information about the effect of composting on the viability of ASF virus in swine carcasses.

Human Segmentation and Tracking Survey on Masks for MADS Dataset.

Human segmentation and tracking often use the outcome of person detection in the video. Thus, the results of segmentation and tracking depend heavily on human detection results in the video. With the advent of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), there are excellent results in this field.

Genomic analysis and antimicrobial resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from Vietnam in 2011 and 2015-16.

Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, compromising gonorrhoea treatment, is a threat to reproductive health globally. South-East and East Asia have been major sources of emergence and subsequent international spread of AMR gonococcal strains during recent decades. We investigated gonococcal isolates from 2011 and 2015-16 in Vietnam using AMR testing, WGS and detection of AMR determinants.

Efficacy of Oral Itraconazole in the Treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis in Vietnamese Adults Patients.

Aim: This longitudinal study aims to evaluate the efficacy of oral itraconazole in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in Vietnamese patients.

Methods: Thirty patients were enrolled at National Hospital of Dermatology and Venereology, Hanoi, Vietnam and were treated with oral itraconazole (200 mg daily in 14 days followed by 200 mg weekly in 4 weeks). The clinical severity was assessed by a four-parameter scoring system.

Early Treatment with Imiquimod 5% Cream of Periungual Warts in Vietnam: The Poorer, the Better.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of imiquimod 5% in periungual wart treatment.

Material And Methods: A group of 40 patients were recruited to apply imiquimod 5 % cream once daily for 5 consecutive days per week in 8 weeks. They were classified into 3 levels: Mild (the total lesion area ≤ 25 mm), moderate (25 mm 50 mm).

[Fistula of the total isolated gastric pouch in the rat].

Chronic fistula of total gastric pouch in Rat, until now unsuccessfully performed, is realizable. It provided a pure gastric juice and solved the reproducibility of the results. Quantity of daily secretion juice was variable from one animal to another, but remained constant for the same animal; it influenced the evolution of the animal state; the larger it was the less likely the operated animal was to survive.
