Hypomineralization disorder in tropical Southeast Asia during the agricultural revolution: Analysis of morbidity and mortality
AbstractThis paper presents evidence for hypomineralization disorders (rickets and osteomalacia) in non-adults at Man Bac, a Neolithic site from northern Vietnam dated to 4000 –3500BP, contributing to the well-described disease burden at the site that includes scurvy, treponemal disease, thalassemia, and malaria. Forty-four non-adults (<20 years of age-at-death) were assessed for macroscopic and radiographic evidence for hypomineralization disorders. Differential diagnosis was completed using traditional methods and three-level standardized criteria to combat the challenges of overlapping pathological features betw...

Hepatitis B screening and knowledge among Chinese and Vietnamese students in Australia
by Elena Cama, Loren Brener, Timothy Broady, Robyn Horwitz, Defeng Jin, Hoang Minh Khoi Vu, K. O. E. Wu, Carla Treloar Research has shown that there are significant gaps in hepatitis B knowledge among migrant communities who are at risk of hepatitis B, such as Chinese and Vietnamese communities. Many students studying within Australia come from countries with high prevalence of hepatitis B. However, there is very little research examining hepatitis B knowledge, screening, or vaccination among university students in Australia or worldwide. The aim of this paper was to measure both levels of and demographic differences in h...

27 Childbearing womens experiences of and interactions with the health system in post-Doi Moi Vietnam
ConclusionsWe highlight the need for future inquires to situate peoples’ health system interactions and experiences within evolving social and institutional contexts. In the Vietnamese context, such inquiries should explicitly consider how the shift towards market-oriented provision of care shapes peoples’ health system interactions. (Source: BMJ Open)

Are Abnormally Large Eastern Bent-Wing Bats, Miniopterus fuliginosus, the Result of a Feature Shift or the Result of Hybridization?
Dokl Biol Sci. 2024 Mar 2. doi: 10.1134/S0012496624700911. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring a study of morphological variations in bent-wing bats (Miniopterus), we found that specimens originating from the Cao Bang province of Vietnam, identified as M. fuliginosus, were closer in size to the larger species, M. magnater. Mitochondrial gene analysis clearly places these specimens in the former species. At the same time, morphometric analysis of 21 cranial measurements definitely puts these specimens closer to M. magnater and shows their differences from M. fuliginosus samples from different parts of the species range. We...
