1.Some opinions of electroencephalogram in patients with epilepsy in community.
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):26-28
139 patients with the clinical epilepsy (139: untreated; 7: interuption of drug therapy) received an electroencephalogram between crisises or during or after crisises if occuring the crisis during electrencephalogram, combining with activated tests such as deep breath, intervented photostimulation and berger tests. The results have shown that the paroxysmal typical epyleptoid electroencephalogram occurred more frequent in patients with focal epilepsy than in patients with total epilepsy. The typical epileptoid electroencephalogram was not suitable with clinical description occurred frequent in patients with focal epilepsy (especially complex focal epilepsy). Which emphasied an important role of electroencephalogram in classfication of epilepsy crisis and determination of epilepsy focus in the researches in community.

Background: Each of the zone there has a different context for soil-transmitted helminth disease to exist and develop. Objectives: (1) To define the soil-transmitted helminth infection prevalence situation. (2) To define knowledge and practice about soil-transmitted helminth diseases prevention in Ea Tieu commune. Subject and method: The Ede ethnic population community lives in Ea Tieu and using a cross-sectional study. Results and conclusions: Ea Tieu commune, Krong Ana district, Daklak province, that has rather high soil-transmitted helminth general prevalence about 74.1 %, the highest prevalence is Ascaris lumbricoides infection, about 53.7%, next is hookworm with 38.4%, and the lowest is Trichuris trichiura with 1.3%. The Ascaris lumbricoides infection prevalence is not that different between age group (2 - 15: 58.98% in comparison with over 16: 50.87%) and hookworm infection prevalence was different between two age group that are 2-15: 6.05% which is lower than over 16: 55.99%. Average of intensity infection (average of eggs per gram of faeces) belongs to low intensity infection. Knowledge and practice about worm infection prevention of Ede ethnic in Ea Tieu is very low: 29.8% people does not rightly know of any harm, 24.6% people know one of the reasons is because of unclean food, 16.3% and another reason because of unclean hands with 16.3%, only 6.1 % people know the reason for hookworm infection.
