Progression of liver fibrosis and associated factors among chronic hepatitis B patients at a general hospital in Northern Vietnam
Nagoya J Med Sci. 2022 Feb;84(1):19-28. doi: 10.18999/nagjms.84.1.19.ABSTRACTEvaluation of liver fibrosis is necessary to make the therapeutic decision and assess the prognosis of CHB patients. The current study aimed to describe the progression and identify some influencing factors in patients with chronic hepatitis B at a General Hospital in Northern Vietnam. The longitudinal study included 55 eligible subjects diagnosed Hepatitis-B-virus. Dependent variable was the aspartate aminotransferase/platelet ratio index and we collected some demographic variables and disease related and behaviour variables. Bayesian Model Avera...

What Are the Potential Benefits and Risks of Premasticated Foods?
Discussion Premastication is the prechewing of foods or medicines by another person before feeding to an infant. It is also used to pretaste or temperature test foods. It was a common practice for millennia, especially before modern food technology, as a way to transition an infant from a solely liquid based diet to a mixed diet mainly of solid food. Rates of premastication vary, with less developed countries having an increased incidence/prevalence (up to 50%) but it is not uncommon in developed countries (in the US 14% is reported). Saliva is also used to clean other people, treat cuts/itches or insect bites as well. Pla...

Culturally Appropriate Photonovel Development and Process Evaluation for Hepatitis B Prevention in Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese American Communities
Asian Americans have disproportionately high prevalence of chronic hepatitis B virus infection in the United States and yet have low hepatitis B screening and vaccination rates. We developed three photonovels specifically designed for Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese Americans and evaluated their cultural relevance and effectiveness in increasing self-efficacy and intention to have a hepatitis B screening. Photonovels’ storylines were drawn from focus group themes, and lay people from each community played actors/actresses in community settings. Photonovels were pilot tested, revised, and distributed in a hepatitis B ...

Routine childhood vaccination programme coverage, El Salvador, 2011-In search of timeliness.
Abstract While assessing immunization programmes, not only vaccination coverage is important, but also timely receipt of vaccines. We estimated both vaccination coverage and timeliness, as well as reasons for non-vaccination, and identified predictors of delayed or missed vaccination, for vaccines of the first two years of age, in El Salvador. We conducted a cluster survey among children aged 23-59 months. Caregivers were interviewed about the child immunization status and their attitudes towards immunization. Vaccination dates were obtained from children immunization cards at home or at health facilities. We refe...
