It is necessary to find early the maxillofacial tumors and ulceration to treat well. During 1998-1999, the Instituteof maxillo-facio dentology have implemented 676 pathological anatomical tests (male: 353) in which the benign diseases (585 cases: 86%) and malignant diseases (91 cases: 14%).

An interviewed survey on 147 mothers who have small children was carried out in some communes in Hue city to evaluate their knowledge, attitude and practice in vaccineation against measles. The results showed that most of the interviewed mothers (> 87%) had good knowledge about the severity of measles infection, the susceptibility of their children with measles virus and transmission of this disease. The mother’s acceptance to vaccineation against measles is good; this implies the efficiency of the vaccination program.

The comparison of the anthropometric indicators on nutrition between hypertesives and normal people at Tien Phuong commune showed that abdominal, hip circumferences and the ratio of abdominal and hip circumference in hypertensives were significantly higher in female and male than those in the normal people (p<0.05-0.001). Weight and BMI (body mass index) were significantly higher in female and skinfold thickness was higher in male group, only (p<0.05-0.001); these indicators were also significantly lower than those of the hypertensives cared for health in Huu Nghi Hospital (p<0.01-0.001). Weight, BMI, abdominal circumference, and the ratio of abdominal and hip circumferences are the valid indicators for supervising nutritional status and preventing of hypertension in the elderly.

A total of 446 elderly employees admitted to Dai Lai Sanatorium were medically examined at Huu Nghi Hospital in 2004-2005. The results showed that the rates of health status classification were 3.79% at degree B1, 40.31% at degree B2, 55.01 % at degree C, and 0.89% at degree D. Four highest diseases were at cardiovascular (54.04%), genitourinary (43.50%), digestive (36.32%) and musculoskeletal system (22.20%). The rates of endocrinological metabolic disorders and musculos-keletal diseases among obesity people with BMI > 25 were higher than that of the others with p<0.05 and p< 0.02, respectively.

Reprospective study on the healthy station's reports and the data monthly of Malaria Protection Centre of Thanh Hoa province, from 1998-2002. The malaria situation has been stable, no malaria epidemic outbreak and death due to malaria. The annual malaria morbidity has been greatly reduced from 3.74% in 1998 to 2.09% in 2001 and 1.70% in 2002. The malaria parasite rate has been reduced from 0.25% in 1998 to 0.22% in 2001 and 0.19% in 2002. The malaria imported cases were 51.78% (1998) and 92.86% (2002). However, malaria cases are available in almost districts. The number of positive cases in the plain and midland districts are more than in the mountainous area due to the importation of malaria from malaria endemic areas. The malaria cases distributed scattered, which is difficult for management and treatment patients

Most of malaria hot spots occurred in Lao Cai province from 1998 to 1999 were P.falciparum infections. The rate of parasite infections were high (7.06%-33.75%), because of unorganized migration of population from and to the malaria endemic areas. Illegal migrants often went to Dak Lak and all of them were Mong ethnic, accounted for 70% of unorganized migration in the province. Outbreak control activities were taken in high risk spots. During surveillance, there wasn’t any patient and results of slide were negative or low counts and those were nonresident parasites

46 patients with occult fracture on middle third of tibia shaft due to many causes were surgical treated by intramedullary fixation with Küntscher nail: 37 patients were treated at Viet Duc Hospital from January 1996 to July 1999 and 9 patients were treated at Hospital No 103 from April 1993 to July 1999. Outcomes: very good 27 cases (84.37%), good 5 cases (15.63%). Advantages of this procedure were firm fixation; early rehabilitation that helping bone union; easy to use so that it can be used at all hospitals; dissection of periosteum in this procedure is less than fixation with screw that making less vascular damages and better healing. Disadvantages were higher risk of infections, slower bone union, and this procedure can’t be used for fracture of upper or lower third of tibia shaft

Malarial statistic data of at HungYen provincial Center of Preventive Medicine shown an incidence of 0,118% of population in the year 2001 and 0,08% in 2002, parasitic rate of 0,68% in 2001 and 0,49% in 2002. All clinical cases and parasitically confirmed cases were infected from the endemic areas , of South Vietnam. Malarial parasite was determined only on laboratories at the level of province and district. At basic level health stations, malarial patients and persons who arrived from endemic regions were not carefully managed
