RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the impact on the mental health of patients with COVID-19 in a centralized isolation facility in the community who experienced a long period of full lockdown during the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study among 125 patients with COVID-19 in a centralized isolation facility in the community of Ho Chi Minh City from September to November 2021. We collected data on depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, as indicated by scores on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, as well as sociodemographic characteristics. RESULTS: The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among patients with COVID-19 was 14.4%, 20.8%, and 20.0%, respectively. Depression scores were significantly and positively correlated with body mass index whereas stress scores were significantly and positively correlated with age. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicated an increased prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among patients with COVID-19 who were in a centralized isolation facility during the fourth COVID-19 wave in Vietnam. Overweight and older age were identified as risk factors for adverse mental health in patients with COVID-19. Psychological intervention programs should be implemented in isolation facilities for individuals with COVID-19 infection.

RESUMO

Purpose: Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal bacteria species that can cause various illnesses, from mild skin infections to severe diseases, such as bacteremia. The distribution and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pattern of S. aureus varies by population, time, geographic location, and hospital wards. In this study, we elucidated the epidemiology and AMR patterns of S. aureus isolated from a general hospital in Vietnam. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Data on all S. aureus infections from 2014 to 2021 were collected from the Microbiology department of Military Hospital 103, Vietnam. Only the first isolation from each kind of specimen from a particular patient was analyzed using the Cochran-Armitage and chi-square tests. Results: A total of 1130 individuals were diagnosed as S. aureus infection. Among them, 1087 strains were tested for AMR features. Most patients with S. aureus infection were in the age group of 41-65 years (39.82%). S. aureus isolates were predominant in the surgery wards, and pus specimens were the most common source of isolates (50.62%). S. aureus was most resistant to azithromycin (82.28%), erythromycin (82.82%), and clindamycin (82.32%) and least resistant to teicoplanin (0.0%), tigecycline (0.16%), quinupristin-dalfopristin (0.43%), linezolid (0.62%), and vancomycin (2.92%). Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) S. aureus were prevalent, accounting for 73.02% and 60.90% of the total strains respectively, and the strains isolated from the intensive care unit (ICU) had the highest percentage of multidrug resistance (77.78%) among the wards. Conclusion: These findings highlight the urgent need for continuous AMR surveillance and updated treatment guidelines, particularly considering high resistance in MRSA, MDR strains, and ICU isolates. Future research focusing on specific resistant populations and potential intervention strategies is crucial to combat this rising threat.

RESUMO

Diagnosis and endovascular treatment for ruptured wide neck aneurysms are challenges in clinics, particularly in developing countries. In the present study, we described a clinical case with a ruptured wide neck aneurysm in Vietnam treated by flow diverter stent and coil embolization. A 77-year-old- female patient had a right droopy eyelid for 2 months. The patient was admitted to hospital on the second day after being presented with a sudden-severe headache. Cerebral computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were taken on the second day and fifth day after the onset of the headache. The results showed an aneurysm in the right internal carotid artery but no potential subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was displayed. An uncoagulated blood was found in cerebrospinal fluid indicated by a lumbar puncture test. Digital subtraction angiography provided images with one wide-neck right internal carotid aneurysm. The patient was treated by flow diverter stent and coil embolization and the dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor and aspirin at home. After 45 days, the patient did not face with any complication, no neurological symptoms, and the aneurysm was partially thrombosed indicated by MRI images. These results suggested that a lumbar puncture should be analyzed on the patient with brain aneurysm appeared a sudden severe headache and even no potential SAH on brain MRI or CT was found. The combination of flow diverter stent and coil embolization to treat cases with ruptured wide necked aneurysms should be considered in the future.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficiency of a biodegradable gel containing hyaluronic acid and berberine hydrochloride in endoscopic sinus surgery. METHODS: Sixty-six chronic rhinosinusitis patients with or without nasal polyps who underwent bilateral endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) were randomly received a biodegradable gel containing hyaluronic acid and berberine hydrochloride or merocel in both middle meatal spacers at the end procedure of ESS. Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score (LKES) was used to examine status of nasal cavity on preoperative day and postoperative day 1 to 7. The LKES ratio was calculated as the LKES on postoperative day divided into the LKES on preoperative day. Visual analogue score (VAS) was used to assess patient's status from the first postoperative day to the hospital discharge day. The average VAS during hospital stays was calculated by the sum of VAS in each examination day divided into the number of examined day. The LKES ratio, the average of VAS during hospital stays and length of hospitalized day of the patients were used as clinical outcome indices in early stage after surgery. A general linear model adjusted for confounding factors was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Adjusted mean of LKES ratio were lower in group used biodegrable gel of hyaruloic acid and berberin hydrochlode (study group) than those in merocele group in the postoperative day 1 to day 7. However, significant difference was found in the adjusted mean of LKES ratio on the postoperative day 2 to 6. Similarly, the adjusted mean of VAS during hospital stays and length of hospitalized day after surgery in study group were significantly decreased as compared with those in merocele group. CONCLUSIONS: Biodegradable material containing hyaluronic acid and berberine hydrochloride was more effective than merocel in length of hospital stay, post-operative symptoms, and sinus cavity's status in early stage after ESS.
