Brain and CNS cancers (collectively referred to as cancers) are a source of mortality morbidity for which diagnosis treatment require extensive resource allocation sophisticated diagnostic therapeutic technology. Previous epidemiological studies limited specific geographical regions or time periods, making them difficult compare on global scale. In this analysis, we aimed provide comparable comprehensive estimation the burden brain cancer between 1990 2016.We report means 95% uncertainty...
Background As global rates of mortality decrease, non-fatal injury have increased, particularly in low Socio-demographic Index (SDI) nations. We hypothesised this pattern would be demonstrated regard to bony hand and wrist trauma over the 27-year study period. Methods The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2017 was used estimate prevalence, age-standardised incidence years lived with disability for 195 countries from 1990 2017. Individual injuries included fractures, thumb...
Stigma and discrimination may adversely affect the benefits of methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for drug users, especially in disadvantaged settings. This study assessed stigma against MMT patients mountainous rural areas Vietnam explored their associated factors to inform implementation strategies. We interviewed 241 two clinics: one Tuyen Quang Province's inner city other Son Duong District, assess that perceived experienced. Socioeconomic status, health behaviors, history abuse were...
The rapid integration of Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) in sectors such as education healthcare have marked a significant advancement technology. However, this growth has also led to largely unexplored aspect: their security vulnerabilities. As the ecosystem that includes both offline online models, various tools, browser plugins, third-party applications continues expand, it significantly widens attack surface, thereby escalating potential for breaches. These...
Medication adherence is essential to achieve successful methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). However, among MMT patients in the mountainous setting Vietnam has not been yet investigated. This study aimed explore medication and associated factors Tuyen Quang, a province. A cross-sectional survey was conducted two clinics namely Quang Son Duong. Convenience sampling method used recruit patients. Adherence assessed by using three questions: 1) number of days that they missed doses last 4...
Ensuring an equal benefit across different patient groups is necessary while scaling up free-of-charge antiretroviral treatment (ART) services. This study aimed to measure the disparity in access, adherence, and outcomes of ART Vietnam effects socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics on levels inequality.A cross-sectional was conducted 1133 PLWH Vietnam. were self-reported using a structured questionnaire. Wealth-related inequality calculated concentration index, decomposition analysis...
Objectives Smoking is associated with adverse health outcomes among drug users, including those in treatment. To date, however, there has been little evidence about smoking patterns people receiving opioid-dependence treatment developing countries. We examined self-reported nicotine dependence and factors a large sample of opioid-dependent patients methadone maintenance (MMT) northern Vietnam. Setting Five clinics Hanoi (urban area) Nam Dinh (rural area). Participants Patients MMT the...
Abstract Background HIV Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is being considered for implementation among MSM nationwide in Vietnam. However, there may be concerns about potential obstacles PrEP adherence Vietnamese MSM. This study aims to assess the acceptability use PrEP, barriers and facilitators, preferences service accessibility delivery Methods Four focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 30 HIV-negative January 2018 Hanoi, FGDs explored MSM’s awareness regarding perceived...
ABSTRACT The functions of specific microorganisms in a microbial community were investigated during the composting process. Cerasibacillus quisquiliarum strain BLx T and Bacillus thermoamylovorans BTa isolated characterized our previous studies based on their dominance system. Strain degrades gelatin, while starch. We hypothesized that these strains play roles gelatinase amylase production, respectively. relationship between changes abundance ratios each those enzyme activity process was...
Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal that negatively affects human health. Many studies have shown the relationship between lead exposure and various activities, of which automobile service stations with gasoline emissions are considered main cause. However, limited number specifically from in Vietnam, as well its impact on activities surrounding natural resources. The objective this study was to assess possible risks agricultural non-agricultural farms bus station located center Dalat city, Lamdong...
Abstract Background Electronic health (eHealth) interventions are promising in HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) prevention among men who have sex with (MSM), given a high rate of the Internet use this population. This study determined preferences for eHealth to prevent STIs MSM Hanoi, Vietnam guide development future interventions. Methods Five focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted 35 recruited by purposive sampling January 2018 Vietnam. The FGDs addressed attitudes...
Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) improves patients' ability to access HIV-related services and reduces needle sharing other risky behaviors. However, patients may continue engage in sexual practices. In this study, we evaluate behaviors of MMT a mountainous province Northern Vietnam. We explored the health status, substance use history, practices 241 male Tuyen Quang province. Health status was investigated using EuroQOL-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5 L). Multivariate logistic...
Objective To describe associations of demographic, military, and health comorbidity variables between mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) history posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) status in a sample Former current military personnel.Setting Participants recruited tested at seven VA sites one training facility the LIMBIC-CENC prospective longitudinal study (PLS), which examines long-term mental health, neurologic, cognitive outcomes among previously combat-deployed U.S. Service Members...
Microbial fuel cells are a recently emerging technology that promises number of applications in energy recovery, environmental treatment and monitoring. In this study, we investigated the effect inoculating sources on enrichment electrochemically active bacterial consortia sensor-typed microbial (MFCs). Several MFCs were constructed, operated with modified artificial wastewater inoculated different from natural soil, mud, activated sludge, mixture those sources. After enrichment, soil source...
Abstract Venomous snakebite is an important cause of preventable death. The World Health Organization (WHO) set a goal to halve mortality by 2030. We used verbal autopsy and vital registration data model the proportion venomous animal deaths due snakes location, age, year, sex, applied these proportions contact estimates from Global Burden Disease 2019 study. In 2019, 63,400 people (95% uncertainty interval 38,900–78,600) died globally snakebites, which was equal age-standardized rate (ASMR)...
Background: People living with dementia (PLWD) may experience substantial cognitive decline as the disease progresses, which interferes their daily activities. This study aimed to assess physical activity (PA) performance and care dependency (CD) identify factors related PA among PLWD. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional in 63 PLWD from National Geriatrics Hospital, Vietnam, 2021 2023. used Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Care...
Mentha is a complex genus encompassing many species as consequence of their interspecific hybridization and polyploidy. Southeast Asian mints have been poorly distinguished though they are widely used for culinary medical purposes. In this study, we analyzed known varieties well related Lamiaceae (Nepeta sp.) using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers leaf morphology. Two types were clearly based on venation pattern shape index. We developed 12 SSR that allowed good amplification in the...
