A retrospective study was performed on 86 patients with unstable angina treated at Cardiovascular Department of Viet Tiep – Hai Phong Hospital from January 2004 to May 2005. Results: this disease occured mainly in age group of 51-80; there was no difference in prevalence between 2 genders. The hospitalized patients more likely live in urban than in rural (77.91% vs 22.09%). Most of patients had at least one risk factor; several patients had 2 or 3 risk factors. Most common risk factors are hypertension (53.49%), diabetes (15.21%), and dyslipidemia (46.5%). Angina appeared in rest time in 77.9%, and angina post-myocardial infarction angina accounted for 26.,74%. ECG was performed 2.62 times/patient. Heparin and aspirin are two most common used anti-coagulators (used in 70.09% and 84.88% of patients, respectively). Two drugs were used to treat myocardial ischemia are nitrat derivatives (87.21%) and beta-adrenergic blockers (40.7%). The hospitalized mortality rate was 4.65% due to ventricular fibrillation

Clinical examination on 87 patients with chronic bronchitis at Vinh Tien - Vinh Bao - Hai Phong in 2003. Results showed that common clinical symptoms are cough and expectorate (100%), breath shortness (88.51%), normal thoracic cavity (63.21%), rales (100%). VC and FVC reduced dramatically (65.52%), FEV1 reduced significantly (71.27%), PEF reduced remarkly (74.72%)
Bronchitis, Chronic ; Pulmonary Ventilation

23 cases (17 men, 6 women) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were investigated at Hue Central Hospital from 2004. There were 14 cases with myocardial infarction (60.87%) and 9 cases with unstable angina (39.13%). The rate of ACS-caused arteries was very high (>92%). Emergency treatment is success in 21/23 patients (91.3%). Good cooperation between related departments (Cardiovascular and Anesthesiology & ICU) is crucial factor for timely emergency intervention in these patients

Retrospective study on 247 cases of Caesarean section among 3531 deliveries at the Obstetric Department, Bach Mai hospital from January to October 1992 showed that the ratio of Caesarean section is 7% in total deliveries; the rate of women who have the first child born by Caesarean section is 55.5%. The maternal death rate is 0%, but the rate of postoperative complications is 1.6%, including severe complications such as total peritonitis, postoperative bleeding, compress omit, septicemia, and maternal death

A cross – sectional survey on dental caries in 3181 Vietnamese adults, who are over 18 year olds and live in 7 geographic areas of Vietnam, showed that the percentage of Vietnamese adults who had dental caries is high. The percentage of caries and the DMFT index increase across the age groups. There is no difference in caries percentage between male and female but it is different between urban population and rural population, in the same age group urban population had more caries experience than rural population. The percentage of filling teeth is very low, from 1.49% to 6.38% depending on age groups. The percentage of missing teeth due to untreated is very high and increase across age groups

The study investigated therapeutic effect in 98 patients with diabetes type 2 (59 males, 39 females, 34 - 80 years old) who have diagnosis in first time or are monitored at the National Institute of Endocrine. Results showed that first test of the patients who have recent diagnosis or following-up examination showed a higher levels of glucose and HbA1C than that in normal people. The average levels of glucose and HbA1C in following visits were reduced but still higher than that in normal people

A study on 282 patients with alcohol abuse admitted in Emergency Department and Poison Control Center of Bach Mai Hospital between 2002 and 2003 showed that the common acute conditions included: bleeding from esophageal vein, hepatic comma, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, and stroke. Less common acute conditions included bleeding from gastric intestinal, sepsis, and pancreatitis. Common acute conditions during treatment included hypoglycemia and hypokalemia. Hypokalemia often combined with alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Patients with over 15 years alcohol use had bad treatment result. Patients with less than 15 years alcohol use and less than 500ml/day had lower mortality rate

Studying on 127 medical records of asthma patients who were treated at the Pediatric Department of Bach Mai hospital between 1/1999 and 1/2001 showed that the hospitalization of asthma children were most common in March, April and September to December. Male is more than female with the ratio were 1:1.49. There were correlation between allergic history of patients and family with asthma. The short acting beta2-adrenecgic agonists were used most common in treatment for asthma (92.64%), with oral route is highest rate, followed by nebulization and inhalation, intravenous route was less common. There were 47% cases patients without signs of bacterial infections were given antibiotics

The study is a survey on oro-dental diseases in 1132 children who were over 6 years old and living in the North Central Coastal and South Central Coastal areas. The subjects were divided into 4 age groups: 6-8, 9-11, 12-14 and 15-17. Results: The percentage of children 6-8 years old with caries in the primary dentition was high, from 83.7% to 91.6%. The percentage of children who had caries in the permanent dentition increased across the age groups. The percentage of children who had not caries was much more lower than WHO’s standard. In all age groups, the percentage of children in the South Central Coast who had dental caries was higher than children in the North Central Coast. The percentage of children 6-14 years old with gingivitis in the South Central Coast was higher than in the North Central Coast

A study on 53 patients, average age 27.2 ± 5.6, underwent cesarean section using Hinh-Minh’s incision between 6/2000 and 12/2001 in National Hospital for Obstetrics and Gynecology showed that Hinh-Minh technique overcame the unaesthetic of Joel Cohen incision and time consuming of Pfannenstiel incision, with time of abdominal open is very quick, average time is 1 minute 45 second, average time of child delivery is 2 minutes 39 seconds and time of abdominal closure is 4 minutes 53 second. Total operation time using this technique is 21 minutes. In this study, besides 3 cases had fever some days after operation, there was no significant complication
