1.Study on the hemodynamometry in 2 positions to predict the development of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):31-36
Fifty three of normogravid - normotensive women who subsequently developed pregnancy - included hypertension demonstrated an increase in diastolic blood pressure at least 20 mmHg when turned from the lateral recumbent to the supine position, between twenty eight and thirty six weeks of gestation. Conversely 95.8% percent of women who did not demonstrate such a rise in diastolic blood pressure when turned to supine position did not become hypertensive during that pregnancy. The results demonstrated the high validity of this method as follow: the sensivity of predictive value: 65%. The specificity of predictive value: 93%, the positive predictive value: 53%, the negative predictive value: 96%.

2.Introduction of urodynamic studies
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2003;7(2):68-74
To survey the basic measurements of urodynamic as cystometry, uroflowmetry, electromyography, urethral profilometry. Currently, it may be to combine measurements each other or urodynamic with image diagnostic technique in order to have comprehensive consideration, more accurate on lower urinary tract function: To combine with cystometry, uroflowmetry and electromyography, detrusor pressure measurement, to combine with cystometry and observe reflection of light of cystoids under fluorescent screen, video-urodynamics

3.Varicocele - Updated knowledge on diagnosis and treatment
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2003;7(4):195-200
Varicocele is a dilatation of plexus venosus in the spermatic cord. It rarely occurs before the age of puberty, but 15% of male teenager experienced varicocele (the rate is relatively high). This rate is higher when surveying data of male infertility (35% of primary infertility patients, and 75-81% of secondary infertility patients had experienced varicocele). Varicocele may affect both sides, but 90% of cases occurred in 1 side and among them 90% were in the left side. Microsurgery is a treatment with high rate of success

Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;9():37-38
Antibiotic use must carefully and must exactly consider according to indication and combined exactly method and disease. To against antibiotic resistance, urgent methods is needed such as drugs used exactly disease, sufficient dose and enough time. For physicians, should careful if prescribe antibiotic, don't use new drug if older drug still effective, review antibiotic resistance to choose exactly, preservation obey exact standards, limited using antibiotic for cattle and poultry

6.Review of 20 years of surgical treatment of deformity of foot cervix and club foot combining with orthopadic equipment and external fixation.
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;233(2):20-22
Center for the trauma and orthopady treated 200 cases of foot deformity in which 1,500 cases received operations. Most of them were congenital club foot (70%) followed by club food due to the polio fever(20%) due to the brain paralysis (5%) and due to arthrogrip ossis (5%). The orthopadic equipments were applied for 35 cases. The equipment was used within 5 weeks and continuously fixed by gypsum up to 3 months from the day of operation.

9.Endoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage to collect samples for microbiological diagnosis
Journal of Practical Medicine 2000;383(6):34-37
The study involved 74 patients (48 males, 26 females, and mean age 61 years). Among these, 54 cases have lower respiratory infection and 23 subjects served as controls. In was found that for selective cases of respiratory infection and have received many antibiotics, 103-4CFU/ml should be considered as positive cutoff. With the positive cutoff of 104CFU/ml, the sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of this technique are 69%, 79% and 69%, respectively.

10.Evaluation of methods for detection of new leprosy cases in some provinces of the central of Vietnam
Journal of Medical Research 1998;7(3):26-39
5 methods for the detection of new leprosy cases have been implemented in 6 provinces of the central of Vietnam, namely Danang, Khanhhoa, Binhdinh, Lamdong, Ninhthuan and Binhthuan. The results of each method were detailed evaluated and analysed. Contact survey has proved to be effective with the detection rate of 480 per 100.000. While group survey had no good result with the detection rate of 11.94 per 100.000. The method of mass survey was expensive, not so effective (12.07 per 100.000). It should be applied in areas where the prevalence of the disease is high. Notification of patients through general health system was relatively fruitful (152.20 per 100.000). Passive method of detection through health education was very easy to conduct and economic. This method must be carried out in every where
