Neurological disorders are now the leading source of disability globally, and ageing is increasing burden neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease. We aimed to determine global disease between 1990 2016 identify trends enable appropriate public health, medical, scientific responses.Through a systematic analysis epidemiological studies, we estimated global, regional, country-specific prevalence years life lived with for from 2016. proportion mild, moderate, severe on basis...
PURPOSE: The Hoosier Oncology Group has previously reported the results of its phase II trial combination cisplatin plus gemcitabine. In that study 27 assessable patients with advanced or metastatic non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), response rate was 33%, a median survival 8.4 months. Based on such favorable results, designed this randomized III gemcitabine compared alone in chemotherapy-naive NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were to receive either (100 mg/m 2 intravenously day 1...
Numerous prospective and retrospective studies have concluded that elderly patients (> or = 70 years old) achieve a similar survival benefit, with acceptable toxicity, from first-line cytotoxic chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared their younger counterparts. However, few published data exist on efficacy tolerability second-line therapy in this population.Retrospective analysis large trial was performed. Data 571 randomly assigned to docetaxel...
Hepatitis B (HBV) infection is endemic in Viet Nam, with up to 8.4 million individuals estimated be chronically infected.

A community-based cross-sectional was conducted 632 people aged 60 years or over Ho Chi Minh City. Data were collected through predefined questionnaire direct measurement. identified based on Inbody 770 machine AWGS criteria. The prevalence...
Sparsity-based tensor recovery methods have shown great potential in suppressing seismic data noise. These exploit sparsity measures capturing the low-dimensional structures inherent tensors to remove noise by applying constraints through soft-thresholding or hard-thresholding operators. However, these methods, considering that real are non-stationary and affected noise, variances of coefficients unknown may be difficult accurately estimate from degraded data, leading undesirable suppression...
Coffee is one of the most consumed drinks, which releases large amounts used coffee grounds (UCG), causing environmental problems. Thus, UCG was re-used in combination with bottom ash (BA) as fine aggregates making alkali-activated non-load-bearing lightweight composites (ANLC) this study. To evaluate effect on properties ANLC, seven ANLC mixtures UCG/BA ratios 0/100, 5/95, 10/90, 15/85, 20/80, 25/75, and 30/70 were prepared. Results showed that influenced significantly by contents. Indeed,...

This study aimed to explore menstruation-related symptoms associated among female students in Vietnam. used a cross-sectional design. Data from 349 were analyzed for menstrual using Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ). We found that 92.0% 98.9% had pre- intra-menstrual phases, respectively. The most common each phase backache (71.1%)...
Abstract Introduction Low‐ and middle‐income countries have rapidly increasing numbers of people with dementia, yet little evidence on family caregiving interventions. We tested the preliminary efficacy feasibility a intervention in northern Vietnam.

Eligible ≥18 years age scored ≥6 Zarit Burden Inventory (ZBI)....
Abstract Considerable energy is being directed towards an indiscriminate policy of conflict reduction in the construction industry but problem may be its management rather than incidence. Conflict a response to industry's inability manage constructively, and it more productive focus upon building skills this area as basis for encouraging conflict. This paper explores merits idea. It does so by discussing results survey which used two psychometric tests investigate whether has attitudinal...
