1.Ophthalmic complication of diabetes in community
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;439(1):7-9
From June 2001 to September 2001, 72 patients with diabetes in 20 communes Gia Lam, Soc Son and Dong Da District were enrolled in the study.
The common complications reported are loss of visual capacity <8/10 (76.39%), pathology of retina (59.72%), cataract (58.33%), choroiditis (5.56%), conjunctivitis (4.17%). Pathology of retina, cataract are most common in male than in female patients, but choroditis and conjunctivitis in female than in male. The older age, and later diagnosis the more rate of complication in retina and in visual capacity, the same

Although posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a widely accepted procedure, perioperative and postoperative complications are still encountered. In particular, cage migration can result in severe sequelae, and revision surgery is technically demanded. Here, we report a rare case of repeated migration of a fusion cage after PLIF. To the best of our knowledge, no report has been previously issued on repeated migration of a fusion cage after PLIF. The authors discuss the radiological and clinical findings of this unusual complication with a review of the literature.

3.Diabetes control- the legacy of a memory
Journal of University of Malaya Medical Centre 2009;12(2):47-56
Achieving and maintaining good glycaemic control remains an important goal in the management
of this common and prevalent disorder. Recent evidence from important megatrials, ACCORD,
ADVANCE, VADT, UKPDS-10 year follow-up as well as the STENO-2 follow-up study, have cleared
doubts concerning the benefits of targeting good glycaemic control. For the first time, we have
the reassurance that macrovascular benefits can be realised from good glycaemic control. The
legacy effect of prior good glucose control from the UKPDS-10 year follow-up, reinforces the
results seen from the DCCT-EDIC (for Type 1 diabetes). The Intervention Phase of the UKPDS
revealed benefits for reduction of microvascular complications, while it was only at the end of
the Post-Trial Monitoring Phase where significant improvements in both micro and macrovascular
outcomes were seen.
The other three Trials assessing the effect of glycaemic control on cardiovascular outcomes,
although largely negative for CV benefit, give valuable insight towards appropriate patient
characteristics for which aggressive glucose control can and should be instituted. Individualising
glycaemic targets, which has been the approach that many clinicians have been practising, has
received new impetus albeit with clearer details.
Getting to glycaemic goal early in the course of T2DM and Doing to Safely (Avoiding hypoglycaemia)
are the key ingredients to successful management. The legacy of the memory of initial good
metabolic/glycaemic control is investment in good health with benefits of reductions in both
micro and more importantly, macrovascular disease, years later.
Multifactorial interventions that include blood pressure, lipid lowering in addition to glucose
control in these individuals with the Metabolic Syndrome result in more immediate beneficial
additive effects on cardiovascular outcomes.

Hidradenitis suppurative is a chronic, refractory and recurrent dermatological disease. The disease should be managed by targeted surgical intervention on the basis of medical treatment. Currently, the surgical treatment methods include local treatments like incision and drainage, unroofing, laser therapy, intense pulsed light therapy, photodynamic therapy, as well as complete lesion resection such as skin-tissue saving excision with electrosurgical peeling and extended excision. The clearance range, therapeutic effect, postoperative complications, and recurrence risk vary among the different treatment methods. Local treatments cause less damage, but have high recurrence rates, and are mainly for mild to moderate hidradenitis suppurative patients. Complete lesion resections have relatively low recurrence rates, but may bring more surgical injuries, and postoperative reconstructions are needed, which are mainly for moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurative patients. In this article, the surgical treatment principles and various surgical treatment methods of hidradenitis suppurative are reviewed, to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease in clinical practice.

Background: Dementia is one of the major causes of dependency after stroke. The prevalence of poststroke dementia (PSD)defined as any dementia occurring after stroke is likely to increase in the future.Objectives: This study have two purposes: 1) Clinical study of MCI and dementia after the first stroke of patients with age of 60 years and older; 2) Overview on clinical characteristics of memory disorders. Subjects and method: 30 patients with were diagnosed with the first ischemic stroke in Huu nghi hospital together with the same number in the control group were involved in this study. The subjects in the two groups were all satisfied with included/excluded criteria diagnosis. Clinical diagnosis of new - onset dementia or other mental disorders was determined using neuropsychological tests. Results: Many functions of the brain were impaired including: logical memory, visiospatial skills, executive function were statistically reduced in the research group compared to the control. However, language function was also impacted but not as much as others. The frequency of the poststrocke dementia in this study was 12.3% while the poststrocke mild cognitive impairment rate was 47%. Conclusions: Global cognitive functioning together with memory state was significantly declined in the ischemic stroke compared to the control group.
