Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbates are the two typical preservatives widely used in Vietnam other countries. The maximum level (ML) of sodium sorbate processed meat products imposed by Ministry Public Health is 1000 ppm. Although there warnings about overusing these that related to human health, many manufacturers do not follow regulations. aim this study was survey consider amounts presence using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. 90 samples brands no including...
Background Web-based surveys (WBS) are increasingly applied in epidemiological studies as an appealing alternative to traditional survey methods. Rapid data collection, reduced expenditure and ease of access large populations some the clear advantages online surveys. However, WBS still subject limitations terms sample size, response rate other additional biases compared In present study, we seek validate on food allergy (FA) two independent collected from a WBS, compare it paper-based...
Food allergy (FA) is a serious, costly and growing health problem worldwide. FA occurs in both children adults; however, there paucity of information on prevalence its clinical features the adult population, especially Asia. We sought to assess FAs Vietnamese adults distribution offending food items among different regions throughout Vietnam.A nationwide, cross-sectional, population-based survey was conducted University students aged 16-50 years. used structured, anonymous questionnaire,...
Objective: To measure mortality incidence rates and rate ratios (IRR) in adolescents youth living with perinatally acquired HIV (YPHIV) compared those nonperinatally (YNPHIV), by region, sex, during the ages of 10–14, 15–19, 20–24 years IeDEA. Design methods: All a confirmed diagnosis, antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive at enrollment, who have post-ART follow-up while aged 10–24 between 2004 2016 were included. We estimated 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) per 100 person-years for YPHIV...

Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated shutdowns disrupted healthcare access resulted in decreased cancer screenings. Cancer diagnosis delays have concerning downstream effects on late-stage cancer, especially for marginalized populations. Methods: study population included 349,458 adults the California Registry diagnosed with between January 2019 December 2021, during which experienced two stay-at-home orders.

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of pregnancy and infant outcomes in 670 adolescents young adult women with perinatally acquired HIV (AYAPHIV), aged 15–24 years, Thailand Vietnam. Between January 2013 December 2018, there were 52 pregnancies, for an incidence 2.49 (95% CI 1.90-3.27) per 100 person-years. The median age at was 17.7 years (IQR 16.8-18.9). Pregnant AYAPHIV had been on cART lifetime 9.8 7.3-12.4). At the time conception, CD4 521 cells/mm3 213-760), 76% RNA ≤400...
European country, where subtype B predominates, the second most common was found to be A. Non-B subtypes were observed in one out of seven patients Slovenia, a fraction that is not negligible, thus proving importance surveillance HIV diversity and corresponding molecular epidemiology non-B subtypes.
