To effectively control COVID-19 in a resource-scarce developing nation like Vietnam, it is crucial that all health care professionals, including medical students, are willing and able to serve in the frontline health workforce. The constant emergence of new variants puts the country at very high risk. Controlling the spread and treating the patients affected by […]

Care for pregnant women and newborn children is important. In an underdeveloped region like Cao Bang, home for many ethnic minority groups, both governmental and non-governmental organizations have provided substantial support for maternal care, but the effect of the interventions on the health and welfare of the newborn babies, pregnant women and new mothers had […]

The immune system defends our body from bacteria, viruses, parasites, cancer cells, etc. to ensure its healthy state despite exposure to pathogens. There is a strong connection between the immune system and patients with infections as well as cancer patients. At VinUniversity, Professor Huynh Dinh Chien and his first-year students at College of Health Sciences […]

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has long-lasting impacts that require the hotel sector to revise, innovate and transform their businesses. However, the literature related to this area remains vastly under-developed. Based on 219 articles collected from global news media and an integrated crisis management framework, this research note map out “strategic responses” from the hotel sector […]

Abstract “Bottom-up” additive manufacturing (AM) is the technology whereby a digitally designed structure is built layer-by-layer, i.e., differently than by traditional manufacturing techniques based on subtractive manufacturing. AM, as exemplified by 3D printing, has gained significant importance for scientists, among others, in the fields of catalysis and separation. Undoubtedly, it constitutes an enabling pathway by […]

Abstract Hyperphosphatemia is the primary risk factor for vascular calcification, which is closely associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent evidence showed that oxidative stress by high inorganic phosphate (Pi) mediates calcific changes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, intracellular signaling responsible for Pi-induced oxidative stress remains unclear. Here, we investigated molecular mechanisms of […]

Abstract To determine the conclusive integrity in the Shiraz Cohort Heart Study (SCHS) project, management began quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) of the collected data throughout the study end-points. The QA is a focused process that prevents and detects data collection errors and verification of intended requirements in the SCHS. The QC is […]

Abstract Thanks to the ability to bring immersive experiences to users, Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have been gaining popularity in recent years. A key component in VR systems is omnidirectional content, which can provide 360-degree views of scenes. However, at a given time, only a portion of the full omnidirectional content, called viewport, is displayed […]

Abstract In this paper we investigate to which point each of the healthcare industry’s stakeholders are influencing the final innovation outputs. We propose and test a model that puts together stakeholders’ engagement, innovation objectives and innovation outputs. We analyze data from 400+ healthcare Spanish companies using Partial Least Squared modelling technique. Results show that stakeholders’ […]

Abstract Nanotubes made of boron nitride (BN) and carbon have attracted considerable attention within the literature due to their unique mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. In this work, BN and carbon nanotubes, exhibiting high purity (>99%) and similar surface areas (~200 m2/g), were systematically investigated for their thermal stability and oxidation behavior by combining thermal […]
