Trichinellosis outbreaks occur occasionally in Vietnam following the consumption of undercooked pork. Diagnosing trichinella can be problematic because fever and myalgia are nonspecific, diagnosis may delayed. We describe 5 Vietnamese patients whom trichinellosis was diagnosed after several weeks illness.

We collected data on characteristics, management and outcomes patients compared these type transportation hospital admission. assessed admission discharge using logistic regression analysis.Of 590 eligible arrest, 440...
Abstract Sepsis is the most common cause of in-hospital deaths, especially from low-income and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to investigate mortality rate associated factors sepsis in intensive care units (ICUs) an LMIC. We did a multicenter cross-sectional septic patients presenting 15 adult ICUs throughout Vietnam on 4 days representing different seasons 2019. Of 252 patients, 40.1% died hospital 33.3% ICU. with accredited training programs (odds ratio, OR: 0.309;...
Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) patients with acute obstructive hydrocephalus (AOH) who require external ventricular drainage (EVD) are at high risk for poor outcomes. fibrinolysis (IVF) low-dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) can be used to improve patient Here, we evaluated the impact of IVF on death and functional outcomes in IVH AOH.This prospective cohort study included hypertensive intracranial complicated by AOH required EVD. We 1 3 months, a specific focus...
Headache disorders are among the leading causes of disability worldwide, especially in young adults. However, no data on burden these Vietnam have been published to date. This study is first assess prevalence headache Vietnamese medical students. was conducted accordance with recommended methodology Global Campaign. Data were collected through interviews using HARDSHIP structured questionnaire, translated into Vietnamese, diagnostic assessments based ICHD-3 criteria. Participants recruited...
Background Evaluating the prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) who may be at risk poor outcomes using grading systems is one way to make a better decision on treatment for these patients. This study aimed compare accuracy modified World Federation Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS), WFNS, and Hunt Hess (H&H) Grading Scales in predicting aSAH.
