Hypertension-related cerebral strokes, including ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, were evaluated at the H÷u NghÞ Hospital from January 1998 to April 2000. Patients were treated and disease progress was evaluated by using the Barthel-Mahoney scale. There were 86 cases of complication in the patients who have had hypertension for 5-20 years. This number in those who have had hypertension for more than 20 years was 12 cases and in those who have had hypertension for less than 5 years is 19 cases. Treatment regimen used in this study had good effect only on patients with hypertension-related cerebral hemorrhage, and had almost no effect on patients with hypertension-related cerebral ischemia. B-M scale has a value in assessment the recovery for patients who were over 10 days of emergency

The study was conducted on patients who were presented at the Emergency Department of H÷u NghÞ Hospital from 1996-1998. Among these, rate of cerebrovascular accident was 7.7% (538 patients). Hypertension is a main cause of cerebral hemorrhage, particularly unstable hypertension. Stress is important factor can lead to cerebrovascular accident and cerebral hemorrhage in particular. Some cardiovascular pathologies such as arteriosclerosis and perpetual arrhythmia are common causes of ischemic cerebral infarction.

In a study in 90 patients with primary hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in Friendship Hospital from August 1998 to May 2000. We found that white blood cell were 64.5% when the patients admitted to hospital. The increase of cholesterol is 53.4%; triglycerid is 63.3%. This is rich factor of primary hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. The author suggested the above mentioned clinic signs give the early diagnose, fast indication and blood test.

Through the above mentional study, we assume that to avoid a portal hypertension and consequently to limit reasons that cause cerebrovascular accident, a frequent medical examination and treatment should have been carried out, particularly for patients suffered hypertension. On the other hand, a frequent medical examination should also has been done to discover soon enough hypertensive situation as well as other internal diseases, so a frequent and suitable treatment regime can be granted

Background: Monitoring antimalarial drug quality should be conducted regularly in locals to enhance the effect of treatment for malaria \r\n', u'Objective: to study and analyze antimalarial drug quality\r\n', u'Subjects and methods: The study was carried out in 2007 for 5 provinces supported by the Global Fund: Ha Giang, Dien Bien, Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri and Gia Lai. Material were malaria drugs: artesunat, chloroquin, quinine, mefloquin, fansidar\u2026etc\r\n', u'Results and conclusion: The strict supervision on the anti-malarial drug quality by the National Malaria Control Program was very good and no substandard antimalarial drugs were detected. Evaluation of antimalarial drug quality and control was made for finding out the counterfeit drugs through sentinel sites in both private and public sectors. A total of 268 samples were collected, of which 13 samples were found substandard drugs (8 samples collected in private and 5 samples in public sectors). No counterfeit drugs were found. \r\n', u'

Purpose: Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended to identify intracranial lesions in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP). Yet, the use of routine MRI scans in girls with CPP is still debatable, as pathological findings in girls 6 years of age or older with CPP are limited. Therefore, we aimed to identify the prevalence of brain lessons in CPP patients stratified by age group (0–2, 2–6, and 6–8 years). Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study recruited 257 girls diagnosed with CPP for 6 years (2010–2016). MRI was used to detect brain abnormalities. Levels of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and sex hormones in blood samples were measured. Results: Most girls had no brain lesions (82.9%, n=213), and of the minor proportion of girls with CPP that exhibited brain lesions (17.1%, n=44), 32 girls had organic CPP. Pathological findings were detected in 33.3% (2 of 6) of girls aged 0–2 years, 15.6% (5 of 32) of girls aged 2–6 years, and 3.6% (8 of 219) of girls aged 6–8 years. Hypothalamic hamartoma and tumors in the pituitary stalk were the most common pathological findings. The likelihood of brain lesions decreased with age. Girls with organic CPP were more likely to be younger (6.1±2.4 vs. 7.3±1.3 years, p<0.01) than girls with idiopathic CPP. Conclusion Older girls appeared to have a lower prevalence of organic CPP. Clinicians should cautiously use cranial MRI for girls aged 6–8 years with CPP.

As authorities braced for the arrival of the Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), infrastructure investments and government directives prompted action in central Viet Nam to establish capacity for genomic surveillance sequencing. From 17 November 2021 to 7 January 2022, the Pasteur Institute in Nha Trang sequenced 162 specimens from 98 150 confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases in the region collected from 8 November to 31 December 2021. Of these, all 127 domestic cases were identified as the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant, whereas 92% (32/35) of imported cases were identified as the B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant, all among international flight passengers. Patients were successfully isolated, enabling health-care workers to prepare for additional cases. Most (78%) of the 32 Omicron cases were fully vaccinated, suggesting continued importance of public health and social measures to control the spread of new variants.
