RIA and IRMA irradiation quantification technique was applicated for determining the concentration of triiodothyrosin (T3), thyroxin (T4), thyroid stimulating hormon (TSH) in blood of normal woman and pregnant woman. Results showed the significantly higher level of TSH and FT4 has not considerable difference in comparing with normal woman (no pregnancy). For verifying the thyroid disease in pregnant woman, TSH and FT4 should be quantified

At the Department of Neurology, Bach Mai Hospital, 11 cases of cerebral infarction were studied in the first 6 months of the year 2002. All 11 patients underwent CT scanning, blood examination, EEG, X-ray examination of heart and lung. Results showed that cerebral infarction can be diagnosed definitely, especially it can be differentiated with cerebral haemorrhage, etc … to develop a possibility of intensive and effective management of cerebral infarction. CT radiography permits an efficacy monitoring of the treatment processus

In pathological and symtomatic study, one patient of carebrovascular accident subject pairing with 2 patients of same age and same gender without cerebrovascular accident admitted in same time was studied (The total number era 1621 subjects including 1016 patients of cerebrovascular accident). Results showed that cerebrovascular accidents were common in the morning and the small hour of the day. Patients having history of hypertension had a higher risk by 6.35% than normal, history of cardiovascular diseases 5.76 times, lipidicemia 1.44 times, smoker 1.9 times and alcohol user 1.41 times

From Nov. 1999 to April 2000, at Ha Noi Centre of Vereno-Dermatology, 365 samples isolated from patients of all ranges of age were studied, using the procedures of antibiogramme to determine the sensitivity of antibiotics to blennorrhagic agent. Results: 65 positive cases (17.8%), among them patients aged 16-40 account for highest positive rate (27.3%). Gonococcus has relatively high resistance to Penicillin (75.4%), then tetracyclin (21.5%), ciprofloxacin (6.2%). The resistance to Kanamycin (18.5%), Nalidizic acide (10.8%), Chloramphenicol (7.7%), Erythromycine (1.5%) were recorded. Multiresistance to 2 antibiotics had the highest rate: PG-TE (16.9%), PG-KA (15.4%), to 3 antibiotics PG-KA-NA (4.6%) was noted. There is no resistance to Ceftriaxon, Spectinomycin, Cephalexin

MEIA method was applied to determine the change of serum cancer antigene level of scale cell cancer (SCC) in 32 healthy control subjects, 32 patients with cervical fibrous tumor, 78 patients of cervical cancer prior and post-radiation in Ha Noi K Hospital. Results: resum level of SCC enhanced by > 2-10 mcg/L in 63.8% cervical cancer patients, > 10 mcg/L did not determined in patient of cervical fibrous tumor; in cervical cancer, SCC serum level higher obviously than cervical fibrous tumor patients (10.6523.31 mcg/L versus 0.710.64 mcg/L with p<0.001). After irradiation, serum SCC level decreased obviously (10.6523.31 mcg/L versus 1.742.35 mcg/L with p<0.001). Serum SCC can be used for differenciating cervical cancer and cervical fibrous tumor and monitoring the response to the irradiation on patients with cervix scale cell cancer

At the Department of Communicabe Disease of Ha Noi – Dong Da Hospital 546 patients (52 dengue fever (DF) patients and 44 dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) patients were studied. IgM antibody was quantified by ELISA, blood count by 680 plus device. Results: a leucopenia (<4000) 24.2% in DF and 15.9% in DHF. Thrombocytopenia 51.2% in DF. In DF, 81.8% exerted an antibody response; in DHF there were a high rate of stimulating lympho cells (84.1%), there is 100% correlation between stimulating lympho cell and IgM antibody response

The study carried on 30 patients diagnosed reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (RIND) at Bach Mai Hospital Nervous deparment from 2000 January. Result: The indicende of male was higher than female (67% vs 33%). 70% were 45 to 59 years of age. Two major reasons were internal carotid artery stenosis 60%, heart diseases e.g mitral stenosis and insufficiency, artrial fibrillation 27%, the cause of unknown 13%. The clinical symptoms of RIND were: hemiplegia 100%, hemisensory loss, dysphasia or aphasia. RIND can make cerebral infarction, so need to detect early and treat timely to advoid stroke and cerebral infarction

Study on 70 patients over 15 years old with both of type 1 and type 2 diabetics at Hue Central Hospital find out the indicende of female was higher than male, most common at 60-69 years of age. Eye injuries rate in diabetes patients: common injuries 65,8%, cataract 48,6%, retina 34,4 %, non-proliferative period 62,5%, post-proliferative period 25%, proliferative 12,5%. Diabetic disease effect mostly to vision: 11,4% blind, 55,7% reduce vision. When indicended the disease over 10 years, rate of retina disease was 100%.
