This paper introduced the situation of investment for studies on the clinical medicine in the central and provincial hospital during 1996-1997 and their application. There were 1357 themes in 96 hospitals of which 76 themes of traditional medicine. There were much medical advancement applied in the diagnosis and treatment. However, there were remainly many limitations in the studies on the clinical medicine such as extent of technical application, and development of high techniques to contribute to the people protection and care better.

In this study, 80 hospital acquired pneumonia patients ≥60 years old (59 males, 21 females) were treated in Thong Nhat Hospital of HCM city from December 2003 to April 2005. The results: mortality rate of hospital acquired pneumonia in the elderly patients was high, accounted for 43.75%. Invasive mechanical ventilation, long-term endotracheal intubations, endotracheal reintubation increased risk of death. Multi-organ failure, liver failure, kidney failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, shock, unconsciousness and diabetes increased fatal risk of disease. Serious prognostic factor included: no regress of fever, increase of leukocyte after 10 days of treatment, no improvement of PaO2/FiO2 ratio after 3 days of treatment.

Over the past decade, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has evolved at an astonishing pace and has revolutionized clinical medicine as well as genomics research. The rapid advancements in NGS technologies have been accompanied by accumulating evidence of the analytical and clinical validity, and clinical utility of NGS. NGS is used worldwide. This review provides medical technicians and laboratory physicians with the essential elements for establishing clinical NGS testing. Here the authors briefly describe the advantages and drawbacks of currently available NGS platforms, potential sources of error in NGS workflow, and reference materials.
