The study involved 46 patients with infective urinary calculus who underwent surgical treatment at a level A hospital between March to December 1998. 100% of removed stones have chemical combinations. The most common stones is formulated by CaOx+CaOx+CaP = MAP (60.87%) and CaOx + CaP (26.09%). There was closed relationship between calcium calculus with E. coli and between MAP calculus with Proteus. The stones with MAP Proteus component accounted for 42.85%, the non-MAP stones accounted for only 12.5%.

In this study, we have used various methods to define urinary tract infection in patients including Gram stain, leukocyte, leukocyte esterase, nitrite and culture of urine. Results have shown that all methods (no including nitrite) correspond to gold standard - urine culture method with regard to their sensitivity and specificity

481 patients with urolithiaris-related urinary tract infection were investigated. 68 strains of positive gram cocci were isolated from samples of these patients, in which 28 strains (41.47%) were S. saprophytycus. The difference between two sexes on prevalent was insignificant. This bacterium has had the resistance to common antibiotics and high sensitivity to novel antibiotics
Urinary Tract Infections ; Staphylococcus

On 486 patients with urolithiasis, 40 strains of P. aeruginosa were isolated, in which 29/221 (13.12%) from bladder and 11/545 (20.37%) from kidney. The most common of serotype were P11, P8. The bacteria were sensible to new antibiotics

Studying on 643 stone-induced urinary tract infection patients at hospital to evaluate of several methods in diagnosis of urinary tract infections by direct microscopic examination of urine and urine culture followed by microscopy. The results indicated: the rates of urinary tract infections defined by methods were different. All of methods (not include nitrite) were correspond to urine culture method. The specificity and sensitivity of direct microscopic methods such as Gram stain were 73.825% and 99.55%, of leukocyte is 85.65 % and 78.20%, respectively...

Background: Antibiotic resistance is a popular condition, especially in hospitals. The development of multi-resistance strains of bacteria is a really interesting problem for the health branch. In Vietnam, antibiotic resistance surveillance programs are frequency performed, however, the results from them are limited. Objective: To determine the prevalence, component of bacteria species and the rate of antibiotic resistance of bacterial strains, which were isolated in the hospital. Subject and methods: 446 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated in Hospital 103 with routine microorganism technique. Antibiogramme was conducted with improved Kirby-Bauer technique. Results and Conclusion: Among these strains isolated in Hospital 103, the majority was the gram positive Cocci with Streptococcus spp (53.14%), S.aureus (19.73%). The gram negative was modest (under 10%). All the isolated bacteria were highly resistant to antibiotics (over 50%), except Augmentin. 29.85% of S.aureus resisted with Vancomycine.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and subsequent lockdowns impacted the mental health of numerous sociodemographic groups globally. This crisis can produce stress, overwhelm, and powerful emotions in susceptible people, especially older persons. Our study examined the relationship between well-being and fear of COVID-19 among older persons residing in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, during the pandemic. A sociodemographic survey was undertaken. Two scales are used for a month of the COVID-19 outbreak: the Mental Health Continuum Short Form (MHC-SF) and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S). We surveyed 158 senior citizens in Ho Chi Minh City between February and April 2021. There was no lockdown in Ho Chi Minh before the fourth wave of infection. Despite this, citizens have maintained high compliance with coronavirus prophylaxis. Sociodemographic data were described using descriptive statistics. A one-way MANOVA assessed the financial impact on older individuals' well-being. The Pearson correlation was employed to find the link between happiness and COVID-19 dread. During the COVID-19 pandemic, older persons who received various monthly allowances had statistically significant emotional and psychological well-being differences. There was no association between well-being and COVID-19 dread. The COVID-19 epidemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable groups. Older individuals are a risk population that requires material and mental care.
