Breast cancer, a common cancer in women, is a main cause of death for women in many countries in the world. Based on the study on 128 female patients who suffered from breast cancer treated at Hue Central Hospital, we concluded that : The highest rate of the said cancer is at 40-49 year old women (accounting for 30.5%); for the patients sent to the hospital for their treatment, most of them were self-discovered(68%).The main threat for breast cancer in women is late menopause, non-birth or women who are firstly pregnant are over 35 years old. Ductal invasive carcinoma reaches a high rate(88.2%). The result of differential grade I: 18.6%; grade II:43.4%; grade III:38.9%
Breast Neoplasms

A study on 2495 newly infected cancer cases in Thua Thien – Hue between 2001 and 2003 showed that males account for 54.9% and females account for 45.1%. The cancers of liver, stomach, lung, colon-rectum and leukemia were the leading cancers in males while the cancers of breast, stomach, cervix, lung and lymphoma were the leading cancers in females. The average annual incidence for both sexes was 76.1/100,000 habitants (in males was 80.9 per 100,000 habitants and in females was 67.6 per 100,000 habitants)

Background:Asthma is a chronic disease. Its characteristic is a chronic process of infection on respiratory leading to obstructed respiratory airway. In order to evaluate the obstructed respiratory disorder on asthma children, there are many various methods in which two methods are been applied widely: measure respiratory function and measure the resistance of respiratory airway. Objectives:This study aims to learn aboutthe respiratory airway resistance of asthmatic children from 6 to 10 years old at Respiratory Department of Saint-Paul hospital. Subjects and method: A retrospective, cross sectional and descriptive study was conducted on 135 children with asthma hospitalized at the Pulmonary Division at the Hospital Saint - Paul from January to October 2006. Results:- Value through thoracic pulmonary resistance in children asthmatics:The average resistance of the respiratory tract had inspiration: 7.31 \xb1 2.14 hPa.s L -1 . The average resistance of the respiratory tract had expiration: 8.30 \xb1 2.42 hPa.s L -1. There was no significant difference in the resistance of the respiratory tract between boy and girl children. Conclusion: Thoracic pulmonary resistance decreased with age from 6 to 10 years. After the inspiration of Ventolin, resistance of the respiratory tract decreased of 22.2% in the inspiration and 17.5 in expiration. The difference was significant.

A 47-year-old female was admitted with progressive exertional dyspnea and diagnosed with anomalous drainage of the left pulmonary veins into the coronary sinus (CS), combined with an intact interatrial septum and a small patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Multimodal imaging, including echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac catheterization, helps diagnosis, optimal management and monitoring. The patient successfully underwent surgical repair, which involved rerouting the left anomalous pulmonary veins into the left atrium through a surgically created atrial septal defect, while the CS continued to drain into the right atrium and the PDA was closed directly via a transpulmonary approach. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Background: Coordinating between soldiers and people bring significant results in protecting healthy for soldiers and people in malaria epidemic area.\r\n', u'Objectives: To evaluate epidemic supervision and propose solutions protecting healthy for soldiers and people in malaria epidemic area.\r\n', u'Subjects and methods: A retrospective cross sectional study was carried out on two provinces Binh Phuoc and Dak Lak\r\n', u'Results: there was 4 main disease types were fever, tuberculosis, diarrhea and malaria. Malaria at investigated times still accounted high rate comparing with general fever rate. Malaria risk contained in people living or working in forest and mountain field; free emigrants; armed forces and border guard. These subjects needed to improve regularly protection from malaria. Communication of health education is one of important method to prevent and control malaria.\r\n', u'Conclusion: It is necessary to implement strong methods (such as providing insecticide treated bed nets, indoor residual spray) to prevent and control malaria. \r\n', u'
