Acute otitis media (AOM) is an infection and accumulation of fluid in the middle ear. |
The disease that usually begins suddenly and is in the short duration, with clinical symptoms relating to endoscopic images. |
Objective: Description of clinical characteristics of acute otitis media in children at Hospital E from 2019 - 2020. |
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study, included 40 patients, under 16 years old, diagnosed with AOM, treated at the Department of Otolaryngology in E Hospital from 2019 September to 2020 April. |
Results and discussions: Mild fever: 37.5%, moderate fever: 20%, high fever: 22.5%; Mild otalgia accounted for 40%, severe otalgia 25%; No ear discharge 77.5%, ear discharge accounted for 22.5%; congested tympanic membrane accounted 35%, pus-filled bulging tympanic membrane 42, 5%, perforated tympanic membrane 22, 5%. |

New-onset refractory status epilepticus: Case report and literature review |
Out of 47 cases of elevated transaminases, 16 cases occurred after 1 cycle of treatment, 14 cases occurred after 2 cycles and 9 cases appeared after 3 cycles, and after 4, 5, and 6 cycles, there were only 4, 2, 1 cases of elevated transaminases, respectively. |
There were no cases after treatment cycle eighth and ninth. |
In patients with pre-treatment AST >25 UI / L, the risk of elevated transaminases is 2.29 times higher than in patience with pre-treatment AST <25 UI/L. |
Based on Cox regression model, we built a Nomogram with 4 variables, including age, BMI, pre-treatment AST, and pre-treatment ALT. |
Other adverse reactions included oral ulcer, diarrhea, vomiting, and hair loss, which occurred at an incidence of 18.4%, 14.7%, 10.4%, and 4.9%, respectively. |
Most of these reactions were minor and did not require any specific treatment. |
Conclusions: The overall incidence of elevated transaminases is 28.83%, usually occurred within the first 3 to 4 treatment cycle. |
Pre-treatment AST is related to elevated transaminases. |
Nomogram is able to determine risk of elevated transaminase in patience with low-risk gestational trophoblastic disease, treated with methotrexate and folinic acid. |
Objective: Identify the incidence and related factors of elevated transaminases in low-risk gestational trophoblastic disease patients treated with methotrexate. |
We selected entire 163 patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic disease, treated with methotrexate and folinic acid, from October 2019 to June 2020 at Tu Du hospital. |
Kaplan-Meier survival analysis is performed to determine the incidence of elevated transaminases over time. |
We apply Cox regression model in order to identify factors related to elevated transaminases and build a Nomogram to predict the risk of elevated transaminases. |
Results: The incidence of elevated transaminases is 28.83%. |

Subject and method: case report, literature review. |
Result: Good outcome at 2-month time base on the combination of experience and evidence. |
Conclusion: New-onset refractory status epilepticus is a rare condition, has poor prognosis, with high risk of transformation in to super refractory status epilepticus, high mortality and morbidity rates. |
Immunomodulatory therapy is considered in the treatment of the condition. |
Results of treatment of distal femur fractures by locking plate fixation in adults at Thai Nguyen national hospital |
Depressive disorder is a common comorbid disease in the rheumatoid arthritis disease (RA), which will adversely make the RA symptoms worse, complications increased, mortality and suicide rates increased which is a heavy burden for the patient, their family and society. |
there has been a lot of research about depression disorder in rheumatoid arthritis patient in the world but it is still lack of report in Viet Nam. |
Therefore, we carry out research named "Depression and some related fators in rheumatoid arthritis patients in rheumatology department - Bach Mai hospital". |
Subjects and research methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study of 79 rheumatoid arthritis inpatients at the Department of Rheumatology in Bach Mai Hospital from June 2019 to June 2020. |
Results: studying subjects are mainly female (83.5%), the average age is 60.9 ± 9.3, where urban is equivalent to rural, 40.5% is secondary education. |
There are 51.9% of patients who are depressive according to the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM - D). |
Significantly different is the number of joint pain and swollen joints, CRP index, disease activity index in 28 joint following CRP (DAS 28 - CRP) in depressed patient and non-depressed patient. |
The patients who are unable to work, do activities of daily living or make money have a higher depression rate than the others who still remain their workability and activities of daily living with p<0.05. |
A preliminary results in anterior cervical disc surgery using the interlock system |
Distal femur fractures are a large, complex fractures, which often affects to the motor function of the knee. |
Results of rehabilitation by Sanders. R: excellent: 63.8%, good: 18.5%, average: 12.1% and poor 3.0%. |
Conclusion: Results of treatment of distal femur fractures by locking plate is very positive, including older patients with osteoporosis, which is now the optimal treatment choice for this type of fracture. |
The locking compression plates for distal femur helps firmly fix the fracture, early rehabilitation. |
Objectives: Assessing results of treatment of distal femur fractures by locking plate fixation in adults. |
Subjects and method: Cross - sectional description. |
From January 2018 to June 2021, 33 patients, from 18 years old and older with distal femur fracture, were treated by locking plate fixation and observed for at least 6 months - follow up. |
Results: There were 12 (36.4%) males and 21 (63.6%) females. |
The rate of bone union was 100%. |

Study of the results of acne vulgaris treatment with oral isotretinoin and vitamin D |
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is widely indicated for degenerative or multilevel cervical disc herniation. |
Pre-and postoperative X-ray assessment of sagittal cervical angle, surgery time, blood loss as well as complications were also assessed. |
All patients had good improvement of nerve root compression and cervical pain, improved NDI and improved lordosis. |
Surgery time and blood loss are minimized. |
There was no dysphagia or general complications. |
ACDF using interlock came with good results, maintain cervical lordosis, save surgery time, blood loss and currently does not record any postoperative complications including dysphagia. |
However, they also come with complications, such as soft tissue damaged causing esophagus edema, dysphagia, especially in multi-level surgery. |
The interlock disc graft was invented to ensure maximum fusion rate, less complications, dysphagia and save surgery time. |
By the end of 2019, this system was approved by the FDA in multi-level cervical surgery. |
At Department A, Hanoi Medical University Hospital, we have applied and obtained favorable initial results. |
This is a preliminary prospective study of 10 patients with degenerative and cervical disc herniation. |
21 interlocks have been used. |
Patients were evaluated for clinical symptoms pre-and post operation according to protocol, VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) scale for pain, NDI (Neck Disability Index) and scale for dysphagia. |

Subject and method: A controlled clinical trials, comparing the treatment effectiveness of 70 patients with moderate and severe Acne vulgaris. |
Patients were randomized to 2 groups, each of 35 patients, the study group used Isotretinoin 20mg / day and Vit D 1000UI / day, the control group only used Isotretinoin 20mg / day in 3 months treatment. |
Result: Both study group and control group had statistically significant differences in the severity of acne vulgaris and GAGS scores at 1 - 2 - 3 months after treatment compared with before treatment. |
After 3 months, both study and control groups showed very good, good and rather good improvement in more than 90% of patients. |
There was no statistically significant difference in GAGS score, disease severity, disease improvement as well as clinical side effects after 1 - 2 - 3 months of treatment between the 2 groups. |
Conclusion: In the treatment of moderate and severe acne vulgaris, oral Isotretinoin in combination with Vit D showed no difference in treatment results and side effects compared with using isotretinoin alone. |
