Breast cancer, a common cancer in women, is a main cause of death for women in many countries in the world. Based on the study on 128 female patients who suffered from breast cancer treated at Hue Central Hospital, we concluded that : The highest rate of the said cancer is at 40-49 year old women (accounting for 30.5%); for the patients sent to the hospital for their treatment, most of them were self-discovered(68%).The main threat for breast cancer in women is late menopause, non-birth or women who are firstly pregnant are over 35 years old. Ductal invasive carcinoma reaches a high rate(88.2%). The result of differential grade I: 18.6%; grade II:43.4%; grade III:38.9%

Acupuncture, which is a preventive and treating method without drugs of traditional medicine, has had a long-standing history. Classical acupuncture is still the main, irreplaceable treatment method (electricity acupuncture in nature is classical acupuncture which is added by electricity into acupunctured spots). When giving the needle in patients, they will react against and have pain feeling, level of pain depends on different areas of the body, whenever receptors in skin and muscle will identify and make nervous pulses that will go to central nervous system through nerves. The second electric potential appears when acupuncturing needle into the body, that is injury electric potential. The third electric potential appears when the acupuncture needle is made of metal

98 patients were operated surgical commissurotomy in the No 108 Military Hospital from March 1995 to May 2000. All patients were performed Doppler ultrasonography pre- and post-operation. All patients were received surgical commissurotomy by Tubs. Hemodynamics was changed with satisfactory results after surgical commissurotomy the pulmonary arteries pressure down from 50.4  15.5 to 36.6  7.9 mmHg; MaxPG (mmHg) down from 22.1  7.6 to 12.3  3.3 and mean PG (mmHg) also down from 13.5  4.8 to 6.9  4.5. For right indication and contraindication in surgical intervention, as well as prognosis of postoperative patient's life, the evaluation of hemodynamic indexes are necessary, in which Doppler ultrasound plays an importance role in assessing the pre- and postoperative results

A study on 2495 newly infected cancer cases in Thua Thien – Hue between 2001 and 2003 showed that males account for 54.9% and females account for 45.1%. The cancers of liver, stomach, lung, colon-rectum and leukemia were the leading cancers in males while the cancers of breast, stomach, cervix, lung and lymphoma were the leading cancers in females. The average annual incidence for both sexes was 76.1/100,000 habitants (in males was 80.9 per 100,000 habitants and in females was 67.6 per 100,000 habitants)

The study was conducted on 55 patients (39 males and 16 females) with 56 trochanteric hip fractures related to surgical treatment trauma. These patients were treated by internal bone fixation using angle splint in Orthopedic Department of Viet- Duc Hospital from 1/2000 - 12/2001. Good and very good outcomes were reached in 82% of patients, 14% of patients had moderate and 4% had poor outcomes. Mass angle splints were used for intertrochanteric fractures: Unstable intertrochanteric fractures, trochanteric fracture with femoral neck fracture line, intertrochanteric fractures with multiple fractures in 1/3 above and 1/3 below of ipsilateral femoral bone. Intertrochanteric fractures occurred in any patient with quick movement prior event. Inter- and inferior trochanteric fractures occurred with two points. DHS is applied with most efficiency. Internal bone fixation using angle splint for intertrochanteric fractures was the most effective method. There were no complication in terms of vascular obstruction related to fat and heart failure. Setting a broken bone wass carried out in surgical position and fixed by angle splints. Separated pieces in backside and inside can be rearranged under the surgery and fixed by soft screws. Rehabilitation and follow-up exammination was needed after surgery.

In the year period of 1998-2002, in the Hospital N07 in Hai Duong province and the Hospital Buu Dien in HaNoi. 117 patients (99 females and 18 males, aged 17-69) who were clinically diagnosed as thyroid nucleous, goiter were undergone a fine needle puncture biopsy. Results showed a consistency between clinical diagnosis and ultrasound in 92.9% of solid form, 93.1% liquid form and in mixt form, the consistency rate was lower 55.5%. Between clinical diagnosis and ultrasound, there was a consistency in the determination of 76% of the number of goiters, and the consistency rate was higher between these 2 diagnostic methods, 81/85 in solid form and 25/27 in liquid form, while in mixt form the technique of fine needle aspiration puncture notified more cases than ultrasound 11 versus 5

From 1998 to 2002, 117 patients (99 females, 18 males, aged 17-69) with thyroid nucleus tumors at Hospital 7 in Hai Duong and Hospital Buu Dien I in Hanoi was given percutaneous injected ethanol. Among 82/117 patients (70.1%) good results and 29/117 (24.8%) moderate results achieved. With mononucleus tumor 67 patients had got good results, 15 with moderate results and 2 without results. With polynucleus tumor, 15 patients had got good results, 14 moderate results and 4 without result. The treatment was safe complications were not severe and easy to manage

The morbidity rate of the cerebro- meningeal hemorrhage is high. From 1991 to 1998, the Institute of Pediatry, hospital Saint Paul and Bach Mai hospital admitted 1,325 pediatric patients with this disease in which 793 patients during 1991-1995 and 532 patients during 1996-1998. The morbidity rate in Hanoi and Ha Tay with population of 2 million was 110.5-124.15/1000.000 infant. The mortality rate was 17.2% of morbidity number. The highest morbidity occurred in the months of 9-12. Infant with 1-2 months accounted for 88.5% morbidity. Disease acquired infant with the normal history account for 91.5. The birth weight over 2.5 kg in the disease acquired infant account for 90.4%. The morbidity rate in female was higher 3 times than this in male. The infant received breast milk account for 95.7%.

During 2 years from 1998 to 1999, 76 pediatric patients underwent brain CT imaging at the Pediatric Institute. Patients aged 30-60 days and admitted with severe anemia (average of Hb 6.5+/-1.5g%). Some features of cerebral-meningeal damage in patients with cerebral-meningeal hemorrhage were showed. The most common types are subarachnoid hemorrhage (91.9%), subdural hemorrhage (74.3%), brain tissue hemorrhage (52.7%), cerebral ventricular enlargment (35.1%), lateral cerebral ventricular compression (72.4%), midle-way displacement (82.6%), cerebral oedema (96.5%). Cerebral- meningeal damage combinations included submeningeal hemorrhage alone (15.8%), subduralmeningeal hemorrhage 35.5%, submeningeal-cerebral tissue hemorrhage (48.7%).

From 31/9/1995 to 31/2/1998, 3 patients (female) underwent surgery for cardiac myxoma at Military Hospital 108 Hanoi, 3 patients had a left atrial myxoma. One patient presented with progressive dyspnea, two with syncope. Three patients were diagnosed by two dimensional echocardiography. Cardiopulmonary bypass with mild to moderate systemic hypothermia was used for excision of the myxoma in all cases. Two had concomitant tricuspid valve repair and one with Mitral repair. There was no death.
