    Abstract Background: Chiari malformation is one of the most common Central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities that can be detected in routine fetal scanning. Chiari malformation type I (CMI) is a congenital defect characterized by a displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. The etiology of CMI has not been well established and suggested having multifactorial contributions, especially genetic deletion. Clinical characteristics of this anomaly may express in different symptoms from neurological dysfunction and/or skeletal abnormalities in the later age, but it is rarely reported in pregnancy.
    Case presentation: We present a case in which the Chiari malformation type I was diagnosed with comorbidities of facial anomalies (flatting forehead and micrognathia) and muscular-skeletal dysmorphologies (clenched hands and clubfeet) at the 24
    Conclusion: CMI may only represent with facial abnormalities and muscle-skeletal malformations at the early stage of pregnancy, which may also alert an adverse outcome. A novel heterozygous NFIA gene mutation identified after birth helps to confirm prenatal diagnosis of CMI and to provide an appropriate consultation.

    Abstract Background: Intestinal stomas are surgical interventions that have an impact on both physical and psychological health, necessitating patient self-care. Insufficient knowledge regarding peristomal skin care, prevention, and treatment of potential problems can lead to an increase in stoma-related complications.
    Objective: This study aimed to assess patients' knowledge of self-care for intestinal stomas and examine the relationship between background information and self-care knowledge.
    Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2021 to December 2022 at the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital in Vietnam, involving 74 participants with intestinal stomas. A questionnaire consisting of 24 closed-ended questions was used to evaluate participants' knowledge of self-care for intestinal stomas. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests were employed for data analysis.
    Results: The findings revealed that 54.1% of participants had good knowledge of general self-care for intestinal stomas. The distribution of good knowledge among participants was as follows: basic knowledge (66.2%), self-care practice (56.8%), recognizing and managing complications (31.1%), and dietary knowledge (64.8%). Significant relationships were observed between participants' self-care knowledge and their education level (
    Conclusion: The proportion of participants with good knowledge of self-care for intestinal stomas was relatively low, and it was associated with individuals' education level, marital status, nurses' education, and hospitalization. This study highlights the need for ongoing development of educational programs on self-care for intestinal stomas. These programs should be tailored to address the specific needs of each patient and aim to improve their self-care knowledge in a meaningful and sustainable manner. By investing in patient education, healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, can assist individuals with intestinal stomas in achieving better outcomes and preventing potential complications.

    Abstract The common autosomal recessive (AR) mutation carrier is still unknown in Vietnam. This study aims to identify the most common AR gene mutation carriers in women of reproductive age to build a Vietnamese-specific carrier screening panel for AR and X-linked disorders in the preconception and prenatal healthcare program. A cross-sectional study was conducted at University Medical Center-Branch 2 in Ho Chi Minh City from December 1st, 2020, to June 30th, 2023. 338 women have consented to take a 5 mL blood test to identify 540 recessive genes. The carrier screening panel was designed based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)-recommended genes and suggestions from 104 clinical experts in Vietnam. Obstetricians and genetic experts counseled all positive testing results to discuss the possibility of recessive diseases in their offspring. The most common recessive disorders were defined at a prevalence of 1 in 60 or greater, and those were added to a Vietnamese-specific carrier screening panel. 338 non-pregnant and pregnant women underwent the expanded carrier screening (ECS). The carrier frequency was 63.6%, in which 215 women carried at least one AR gene mutation. GJB2 hearing impairment was identified as the most common chronic condition (1 in 5). The second most common AR disorder was beta-thalassemia (1 in 16), followed by cystic fibrosis (1 in 23), G6PD deficiency (1 in 28), Wilson's disease (1 in 31), Usher's syndrome (1 in 31), and glycogen storage disease (1 in 56). Seven common recessive genes were added in ethnic-based carrier screening. Women in the South of Vietnam have been carried for many recessive conditions at high frequency, such as hearing impairment, genetic anemia, and cystic fibrosis. It is necessary to implement a preconception and prenatal screening program by using seven widely popular AR genes in a Vietnamese-specific carrier screening panel to reduce the burden related to AR and X-linked disorders.

    Abstract Although conventional activated sludge has been demonstrated to be a feasible approach for extracting nitrogenous chemicals and organic pollutants from wastewater, it still has a number of drawbacks. In this research, a pilot-scale biocord-integrated fixed-film activated sludge (Biocord-IFAS) reactor fed with actual domestic wastewater was operated to examine the effect of varying hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the COD and nitrogen removal. The type of material employed in this study is fibrous polypropylene (biocord), which is a major difference. The contribution of the Biocord-IFAS to COD removal efficiency reached 94.2% at HRT of 8 h and gradually decreased to 82.9% when HRT was reduced to 4 h. During the investigation period, a slight decrease in nitrification was found at a shorter HRT. The NH4+-N removal efficiencies at HRTs of 10, 8, 6, and 4 h were 97.8%, 98.7%, 97.1%, and 96.3%, respectively. The average effluent nitrate concentration was 5.3 mg/L with HRTs from 10 to 6 h, but over 30 mg/L with an HRT of 4 h. The SEM analysis results show that microorganisms have formed on the biocord surface. The results of this research have demonstrated the potential application of IFAS reactors in bioremediation procedures employing biocord material with great processing efficiency.

    Abstract In the study, Fe was used as a dopant to enhance photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Then, the Fe-doped TiO2 was deposited on bentonite, which was pillared by Fe. The synthesized materials were characterized by SEM, XRD, UV-Vis, BET, and point of zero charge (pHPZC). Then, the synthesized materials were used for diazinon removal under both dark and visible light conditions to investigate adsorption and photocatalytic degradation abilities of the synthesized materials. The maximum diazinon adsorption capacity of the synthesized Fe-TiO2/Bent-Fe was 27.03 mg/g. The obtained results indicated that the Fe-TiO2/Bent-Fe exhibited high photocatalytic degradation activity for removal of diazinon even under visible light. The diazinon removal experiments were also conducted using different photocatalyst dosages, under different pH and light sources to figure the optimal conditions for removal processes. The obtained results indicated that optimal photocatalyst dosage and pH were 0.5 g/L and 4.5, respectively. Finally, the natural light generated from solar could be suitable used for diazinon removal by the synthesized Fe-TiO2/Bent-Fe.

    Abstract This study was conducted to synthesize and apply a nano-size calcium dispersed reagent as an immobilization material for heavy metal-contaminated automobile shredder residues (ASR) dust/thermal residues in dry condition. Simple mixing with a nanometallic Ca/CaO/PO4 dispersion mixture immobilized 95–100% of heavy metals in ASR dust/thermal residues (including bottom ash, cavity ash, boiler and bag filter ash). The quantity of heavy metals leached from thermal residues after treatment by nanometallic Ca/CaO/PO4 was lower than the Korean standard regulatory limit for hazardous waste landfills. The morphology and elemental composition of the nanometallic Ca/CaO-treated ASR residue were characterized by field emission scanning election microscopy combined with electron dispersive spectroscopy (FE-SEM/EDS). The results indicated that the amounts of heavy metals detectable on the ASR thermal residue surface decreased and the Ca/PO4 mass percent increased. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis indicated that the main fraction of enclosed/bound materials on ASR residue included Ca/PO4− associated crystalline complexes, and that immobile Ca/PO4 salts remarkably inhibited the desorption of heavy metals from ASR residues. These results support the potential use of nanometallic Ca/CaO/PO4 as a simple, suitable and highly efficient material for the gentle immobilization of heavy metals in hazardous ASR thermal residue in dry condition.

    Abstract Purpose: Due to early antenatal screening and treatment, HIV mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rarely occurs in Germany. The study aimed to investigate the impact on prevalence of HIV infection in the antenatal population and the incidence of late-presenting HIV-infected mothers attributable to increased numbers of refugees.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis and comparison were performed for all deliveries in HIV-infected pregnant women presenting to medical care in Munich (southern Germany) and Hamburg (northern Germany) covering two time periods, A (2010-2012) and B (2013-2015).
    Results: In Munich, deliveries in HIV-infected pregnant women increased 1.6-fold from period A (n = 50) to B (n = 79) with late-presenting cases rising significantly from 2% (1/50) in period A to 13% (10/79) in B. In contrast, late-presenting cases in Hamburg decreased from 14% (14/100) in period A to 7% (7/107) in B, while the total number of HIV-infected women giving birth remained stable. From 2010 to 2015, one late-presenting pregnant woman transmitted HIV in Munich by presumed in utero mode of infection (case reviewed here), while no MTCT occurred in Hamburg.
    Conclusions: HIV infections diagnosed late in pregnancy and leading to delayed ART initiation are rising in Munich compared to Hamburg. Antenatal care of HIV-infected pregnant women in Munich appears to have been more affected by the recent refugee influx than Hamburg. Our study highlights the importance of screening all pregnant women for HIV early in pregnancy and providing timely health care access for pregnant refugees and asylum seekers to effectively prevent MTCT in Germany.

    Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health concern. The development of vaccines with high immunogenicity and safety is crucial for controlling the global COVID-19 pandemic and preventing further illness and fatalities. Here, we report the development of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate, Nanocovax, based on recombinant protein production of the extracellular (soluble) portion of the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2. The results showed that Nanocovax induced high levels of S protein-specific IgG and neutralizing antibodies in three animal models: BALB/c mouse, Syrian hamster, and a non-human primate (
