Mutations in NPHS2, encoding podocin, have been identified childhood onset focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The role of NPHS2 adult disease is less well defined. We studied 30 families with FSGS apparent autosomal recessive inheritance 91 individuals primary FSGS. screened family members for mutations. mutations appeared to be responsible nine these families. In six families, the affected were compound heterozygotes a nonconservative R229Q amino acid substitution. This variant...

Abstract Background One hundred days after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first reported in Vietnam on 23 January, 270 cases were confirmed, with no deaths. We describe the control measures used by government and their relationship imported domestically acquired case numbers, aim of identifying associated successful SARS-CoV-2 control. Methods Clinical demographic data infected timing nature measures, including numbers tests quarantined individuals,...
Identifying those who use methamphetamine or are at high risk of using is essential so that early, appropriate intervention can be made. This study evaluated the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) for identifying among people on methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) in Vietnam. From June 2021 to May 2023, all MMT 15 clinics Hanoi Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, were invited participate this study. Participants underwent a face-to-face interview complete 8-item...
Women living with HIV often face intersecting challenges of stigma and gender inequality. In Vietnam, this issue is potentially exacerbated by the patriarchal culture. From December 2021 to March 2022, we conducted in-depth interviews 30 women in Hanoi better understand their experiences coping mechanisms navigate stigma, cultural beliefs norms. The explored various topics including women's social family roles HIV-related beliefs, its impact on one's health strategies. Participants reported...
Few evidence-based interventions have been successfully scaled up and sustained long-term. Within an implementation trial testing strategies for scale-up of the Systems Navigation Psychosocial Counseling (SNaP) intervention people who inject drugs (PWID) with HIV across clinics in Vietnam, we sought to assess if SNaP was after study support ended identify factors, including adaptations, that affected sustainment. Across all 42 clinics, surveyed clinic staff at 6-10 months post-study...
Abstract This study focuses on the development of efficient catalysts for selective oxidation alcohols to high-value intermediates, including aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids, which are key components in pharmaceuticals fragrances. Gold nanoparticles (Au), especially when supported ZnO, have shown exceptional catalytic performance aerobic benzyl alcohol. Au/ZnO were synthesized via co-precipitation with Au loadings ranging from 0.1 7.0 wt%. Advanced characterization techniques, X-ray...
Imipenem-resistant Escherichia coli strains represent a growing public health concern, posing threat due to their resistance last-resort antibiotics. Here, we present the discovery of Imipenem-Linked Resistance Gene VIN (ILR-VIN) within E. isolates from Vietnam, revealing its absence in non-resistant and local bacterial species. ILR-VIN constitutes previously unrecognized genetic element potentially linked Imipenem resistance, with notable prevalence Vietnamese strains.We conducted an...
Loeys–Dietz syndrome (LDS1-6) is caused by mutations along the transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β) signaling pathway and features aortic aneurysms craniofacial dysmorphology. Mutations that cause LDS can be found in genes encoding ligands ( TGFB2 TGFB3 ), receptors TGFBR1 TGFBR2 signal transducers SMAD2 SMAD3 ). Variable enamel anomalies are seen patients with LDS, but most severe defects advanced attrition have been observed specifically some mutation gene (LDS2). We used human specimens...
Abstract Background Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a significant public health concern worldwide. Women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) have the additional and unique need to seek sexual reproductive services. WLHA’s maternal journeys can be shaped by cultural norms resources that exist in their society. This study sought understand if how family planning, pregnancy, motherhood experiences could influenced patriarchal culture, gender roles, HIV stigma Vietnam, specifically. Methods...
We analyzed 1,303 SARS-CoV-2 whole-genome sequences from Vietnam, and found the Alpha Delta variants were responsible for a large nationwide outbreak of COVID-19 in 2021. The variant was confined to AY.57 lineage caused >1.7 million infections >32,000 deaths. Viral transmission strongly affected by nonpharmaceutical interventions.
Abstract The first nationwide outbreak of COVID-19 in Vietnam started late April 2021 and was caused almost exclusively by a single Delta lineage, AY.57. In early 2022, multiple Omicron variants co-circulated with quickly became dominant. co-circulation happened leading to possibility co-infection recombination events which can be revealed viral genomic data. From January October total 1028 RNA samples out 4852 positive (Ct < 30) were sequenced the long pooled amplicons method on Illumina...
Machine learning has the potential to be a powerful tool in fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), critical global health issue. can identify mechanisms from DNA sequence data without prior knowledge. The first step building machine model is feature extraction sequencing data. Traditional methods like single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calling and k-mer counting yield numerous, often redundant features, complicating prediction analysis. In this paper, we propose PanKA, method using...
