The project “Research and production of biochips based on DNA microarray technology for the diagnosis of some human diseases”, belongs to the Program to develop a number of high-tech industries managed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The goal of the project is to master the technology of manufacturing biochips based on DNA microarray; to produce biological chip sets that meet the quality standards of in vitro diagnostic biological products – IVD; At the same time, these biochips can be applied to clinical diagnosis. BIMEDTECH officials and employees implement the project To implement the project, BIMEDTECH collaborated with leading units such as the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, the Central Lung Hospital and the Cardiology Institute – Bach Mai Hospital to conduct surveys of known gene mutations. found in biochips of international production and a number of new or specific genetic mutations in humans and pathogens in Vietnam that are associated with diseases: thalassemia, 17 bacterial strains non-tuberculosis (NTM) and clopidogrel-resistant patients in patients undergoing cardiovascular intervention. Along with that, BIMEDTECH has invested in building a clean room system and the world’s leading advanced and modern equipment and machines into the factory in the Hi-Tech Park of Ho Chi Minh City. BIMEDTECH has signed cooperation agreements with high-tech companies in the United States and Europe to receive technology transfer for the production of DNA and Protein Microarray, the foundation for developing products for the diagnosis of a number of diseases in Vietnam. people. Take the lead in mastering technology With the support of the program, BIMEDTECH team has developed 3 products: BIMEDCHIP Thalassemia Detection Kit for diagnosis and treatment of thalassemia. This is the first in vitro diagnostic kit product made in Vietnam that allows simultaneous detection of many mutations causing congenital anemia including alpha and beta – thalassemia in just one test with accurate results. , fast time to get results with suitable cost. Thalassemia is a group of inherited anemias. Vietnam is a country with a high prevalence of thalassemia in the world: About 3% of the population carries the thalassemia gene, the prevalence is about 0.5-1% for the Kinh ethnic group, and a high increase of 10-25% in the Kinh population. some hill tribes. Early diagnosis and treatment of thalassemia reduces morbidity and mortality from thalassemia. Next, is BIMEDCHIP Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria Panel Kit for TB diagnosis. This kit provides results quickly, in as little as 6 hours, compared to traditional culture methods that can take weeks. Providing fast and accurate results helps medical staff to provide effective and timely treatment regimens, bringing benefits to patients. In particular, BIMEDCHIP Cardiovascular Drug PGx Testing Kit allows to detect whether a patient has changes in genes related to liver metabolism of Clopidogrel, Statin, Sinthrome drugs or not in a single test, thereby helping medical staff choose the right dose or drug for each patient, bringing the best effect for drug use. The successful implementation of the project is expected to contribute to improving the current limited production of medical equipment in Vietnam, meeting the increasing health care needs of the community, and at the same time. making an important contribution to the successful implementation of the Program on the development of a number of high-tech industries.

Students in South Korea have returned to normal school with splash shields. (Photo: AP) However, the FDA also emphasized that each country’s approach may vary, so it does not recommend any approach to the United States to deal with new infectious diseases that will emerge. The above report introduces Korea’s approach to the COVID-19 epidemic, based on lessons learned from the Middle East Acute Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak in 2015, detailing the Korea’s efforts to deal with infectious diseases. The report indicates that the Seoul Government has invested heavily in the commercial use of infectious disease diagnostic technology, which has helped Korean private enterprises develop and rapidly produce testing equipment. In addition, South Korea followed the US, applying an “emergency use authorization” (EUA) regime for COVID-19 diagnosis. The Korean justice agency has revised the law, so that the authorities have the right to collect information about patients and people suspected of having infectious diseases in critical situations. Along with that, measures such as mandatory wearing of masks, social distancing, stopping some business activities, and effective exchange strategies, have helped South Korea contain the wave of COVID-19 spread. On the other hand, according to the ranking of resilience from the COVID-19 epidemic (Covid Resilience Ranking) published by Bloomberg (USA) every month, South Korea ranked 5th out of 53 assessed countries, an increase of one place compared to the previous year. with April. Korea’s highest ranking was 4th in November last year.

In March, Soyou revealed to fans that she had reached the weight of 62.4 kg. “The doctor told me I was mildly obese,” Soyou said. Soyou lost 6 kg after being diagnosed with mild obesity. Photo: Cosmopolitan. With a strict diet, the singer lost from 62.4 kg to 56.4 kg. However, the 29-year-old singer advises fans not to follow her diet in an absolute way. “You don’t have to follow my routine unconditionally. It is important to find a method of exercise and eating that works for you. Everyone’s body is different, so even if you do the same exercises with me, the results may still be different.” Sports Kyunghyang quote the answer of former SISTAR member. Soyou’s real name is Kang Ji Hyun, born in 1992. She was a trainee under Cube Entertainment before becoming a member of SISTAR. In the group, she takes the lead vocal position, but is still highly appreciated by experts for her special husky voice. When she was active in the group, Soyou was dubbed the “double-singing queen”. She has collaborated with many famous artists such as K.Will and Jeong Min Boyfriend ( White Love ), Mad Clown ( Stupid In Love ), JunggiGo ( Some) … After SISTAR disbanded, Soyou pursued a solo career but has not made her own mark.

Although the disease is benign, with no severe symptoms other than widespread blister, chickenpox can progress very quickly and cause serious complications if not treated promptly. Little Phan Nhu Q. (3 years old, living in Thanh Son district, Phu Tho) was taken to the Phu Tho Obstetrics Hospital in Phu Tho province with a high fever of 40 degrees C accompanied by chills and crying a lot. Inflammatory burns. Through examination, the child was diagnosed with superinfection with chickenpox and indicated for monitoring sepsis. At the Phu Tho Provincial Obstetric Hospital, children are given 2 antibiotics for systemic injection combined with antiviral drugs. After 6 days of treatment, the child is progressing well, has no fever, plays well, although there are still some burning pus on the skin, but the condition is much more stable. Child Q. is regularly examined and closely monitored at the Phu Tho Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. MSc Ha Son Tung – Deputy Head of the Department of Tropical Diseases, Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital in Phu Tho province, said: Chickenpox is a very contagious disease caused by a virus called Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). The disease occurs mostly in children, but also many adults suffer from this disease. The onset of the disease is usually sudden, with blisters on the head, face, limbs and trunk. These blisters appear very quickly, within 12 – 24 hours they can appear all over the body, especially when infected with bacteria they will turn cloudy due to pus. In young children, in addition to symptoms of blisters also accompanied by high fever, refusal to eat, fussy or vomiting. Chickenpox is considered a benign disease, but if it is not diagnosed and treated in time and properly, it can cause very serious complications. Not only does it infect the skin at the site of the blister, from where the bacteria can enter the bloodstream, causing sepsis. More seriously, the disease can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, cerebellum … causing danger to life or leaving sequelae later. The image of infected blisters is cloudy due to pus. The vaccination helps the body make antibodies against the chickenpox virus BS. Tung also said, if pregnant women get chickenpox will be very dangerous. When pregnant women get chickenpox in the first 3 months of pregnancy, the virus will cause miscarriage, or at birth, babies will be congenital chickenpox with many defects such as small head, limb constriction, cerebral palsy, scarring. natural… In case of getting chickenpox in the days of giving birth or after giving birth, the infected child will be very sick with very prominent blisters and easy pneumonia complications. Therefore, Dr. Tung recommends: The vaccination against chickenpox is an effective, highly effective and long-term measure, helping the body to create antibodies against the chickenpox virus. All children 12-18 months of age get one injection; children from 19 months to 13 years old who have never had chickenpox each time will get one injection; Children over 13 years old and adults who have never had chickenpox should be injected 2 times, repeated 4-8 weeks apart. For the cases of chickenpox, absolutely not self-treatment at home, especially not being treated with traditional medicine, traditional medicine, to avoid the unfortunate consequences. >> People can contact for advice, examination and vaccination at Phu Tho Obstetrics Hospital. Address: Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, Nong Trang Ward, City. Viet Tri, Phu Tho Province.
Phone: 0210.655.9999 To proactively prevent chickenpox, the Department of Preventive Medicine, the Ministry of Health recommends people to take some of the following measures:
1. Limit contact with sick people to prevent spreading.
2. Cases of Chickenpox need to be absent from school or work for 7 to 10 days from the time the disease was first discovered to avoid spreading to those around them.
3. Wash your hands often with soap, use separate living utensils, and clean your nose and throat every day with saline water.
4. Regularly clean homes, schools, living objects with common antiseptics.
5. Chickenpox vaccination against children 12 months old.

The reason that the relatively low rate of early diagnosis of cancer in people is directly related to the lack of understanding of cancer related knowledge and ignoring physical symptoms.

Currently, the most common type of cancer is cancer of the internal organs, such as gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer … These organs are all located in the abdominal cavity, so after developing into Cancer, the patient’s abdomen will also appear various abnormal symptoms.

If these 3 symptoms appear on the abdomen, being alert is a sign of cancer.

1. Abdominal pain

Pain is the most typical symptom of cancer. Almost all solid internal organs in the body can become cancerous. Illness in each stage will have different levels of pain. For example, liver cancer can cause upper right abdominal pain, pancreatic cancer can cause upper middle abdominal pain, and bowel cancer can cause lower abdominal pain …

If you have been experiencing a dull, throbbing, or persistent pain in a certain part of your abdomen in recent times, but you may not be able to tell the specific location and sensation of pain. After taking the drug is not relieved and lasting more than two weeks, you need to see the hospital, because this may be a sign of cancer.

2. Ascites

Ascites is a condition used to refer to the accumulation of pathological fluid or water in the peritoneal cavity. Clinically believed that ascites appeared not necessarily cancer, but it was definitely a sign of serious illness. Such as cirrhosis and kidney failure.

If it is not, the appearance of ascites may be related to cancer. Clinically, regardless of the type of cancer of the internal organs, as long as it invades the peritoneum, the symptom of ascites develops. In which, ascites caused by liver cancer is the most common disease, its occurrence is related to portal hypertension and decreased blood protein.

3. Bloating, loss of appetite

Many people will blindly think that it is a common chronic stomach disease after they have symptoms such as bloating and loss of appetite. But in reality, there are many factors that cause bloating, loss of appetite, for example, after the liver, pancreas and other digestive organs have cancer, they are dysfunctional, not secreting enough bile and fluid. pancreas or interfere with excretion. In the early stages of the illness, the person may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, bloating, and abdominal pain.

If there is no chronic stomach disease, while the above symptoms have recently appeared or do not improve after taking medication for chronic stomach problems and the symptoms last for more than 2 weeks, this may be the sign. signs of cancer, you should see your doctor.

In addition to the above 3 abnormal symptoms, if you feel a hard, irregular, painless tumor, poor mobility on your abdomen, you should also be careful of the appearance of a malignant tumor. If you experience all 3 of the above symptoms, this means you need a complete physical exam. Patients should accurately inform their doctor of their actual symptoms, age, family, and medical history before proceeding to professionally indicated examination to get the most accurate diagnosis.
