RESUMO
Cardio-oncology is an emerging multi-disciplinary field, which aims to reduce morbidity and mortality of cancer patients by preventing and managing cancer treatment-related cardiovascular toxicities. With the exponential growth in cancer and cardiovascular diseases in Asia, there is an emerging need for cardio-oncology awareness among physicians and country-specific cardio-oncology initiatives. In this state-of-the-art review, we sought to describe the burden of cancer and cardiovascular disease in Asia, a region with rich cultural and socio-economic diversity. From describing the uniqueness and challenges (such as socio-economic disparity, ethnical and racial diversity, and limited training opportunities) in establishing cardio-oncology in Asia, and outlining ways to overcome any barriers, this article aims to help advance the field of cardio-oncology in Asia.
RESUMO
Determine ultrasonic features of renal trauma patients at Viet Tiep Hospital, Hai Phong city. Subject: 21 renal trauma patients (14 males and 7 females) with mean age 30.71±13.85 years treated from April 2001 to April 2002. Method: Use ultrasound examination, classify renal trauma.
