From December 2000 to March 2003, at Huu Nghi Hospital, 85 patients with tracheal intubation were studied. There was no statistically statistic significances between 2 groups (of success and of failure) concerning the age, predicted body mass, the duration of mechanical ventilation. The causes of respiratory deficiencies needing mechanical ventilation were: infections, cerebral infarctus, cerebral hemorrhagy, acute left heart failure, acute myocardiac infarctus, diabetes. CROP diagnostic value of weaning from mechanical vetilation was higher in success group than in failure group. Threshold value of CROP index  13 (ml/breathing rythm/minute) had got a sensitivity of 0.65, specificity 0.89, predicted positive value 0.84, negative 0.74, under curb surface ROC = 0.875.

A retrospective study on 14 case of ruptured cerebral cranial carotid aneurysm operated in Viet Duc Hospital during 1998 - 2000 has shown that the clinical outcome and method of operation found well in 78.6% of patients. The time for operation was usually late (often 2-3 weeks of bleeding).

A study on the shaking disease among coal miners in Quang Ninh was implemented by measurement of the shaking perception. The results found that the shaking perception of miners who have been working in coal mine for 5 years and over was significantly reduced compared with this of control. The test of shaking perception by diapason C128 is easy to use everywhere and has a specific significant for finding the shaking disease.

Study on 168 cases of traumas in the ear, nose and throat in Hue hospital during 1997-1998 has shown that the traumas occurred in all ages of which sinonasal traumas, ear traumas. The trauma due to traffic accidents, due to the accomodation and due to the working. The traumas in the ear, nose and throat usually combined with traumas in other regions

33 cases of renal calculus received opene surgery for pyelonephrolithotomy (the operative procedres described by L.Q. Cat and N.B. Trieu - 1971, Resnick. M.I.1981) in Urology Department of hospital Viet Duc and hospital No 103. Renal function was determined with serum, blood ure nitrogen (BUN), creatinine and creatinine clearance. Creatinine clearance was calculated up on equations of Cockroft and Gault (1976). Author compared renal function preoperatively and postoperatively (5 -7 days). There was no significant difference in serum ure nitrogen (BUN), creatinin (n= 33) between preoperative and post operative (p>0.05). There was significant in creatinine clearance postoperation (p < 0.05).

The study aimed to evaluate the local shaking level and noising level in coal miners of Mong Duong, Khe Cham, Thong Nhat and Mao Khe in 8/2001. The results have shown that the coal miners were affected by shaking of drilling hamper. The shaking level was 1.7 m/s2, higher allowed level. In addition to, they were affected by the noise that was higher than this of allowed level.

Our study included 14 patients admitted to Bachmai hospital because of headache and hypertension after taking anti-cold preparations (Rhumenol Decolgen, Decolsin, and Medicoldac) from 3/2002 to 6/2002. These patients had no history of hypertension and took antiflu tablets according to instruction of manufacturers. On admission, all patients had hypertension with the maximum BP 190/120mmHg. The first-degree atrioventricular block was observed in 1 case. The adverse effects may be caused by overdose of phenylpropanolamine, a sympathomimetic agent. Our study is a warning of dangerous reality of broadly advertising, marketing and abusing drugs. The manufacturers should consider the amount of Phenylpropanolamine in anti-cold preparations to avoid the adverse effect.
