Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction following amitriptyline overdose: a case report

Background Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome) is a rare but serious condition characterized by marked colonic dilatation without mechanical obstruction. Anticholinergic medications, including tricyclic antidepressants, have been implicated as potential causes.Cas...

Multistage Reconstruction of Complex Postburn Facial Scars: A Multidimensional Reconstructive Approach

Background: Severe postburn facial scars may involve multiple anatomical units with different functional and aesthetic requirements. Reconstruction of such deformities may therefore require a staged and individualized approach rather than a single reconstructive procedure. Case P...

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of acute liver failure in Vietnam

Understanding the etiologies, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of acute liver failure (ALF) is important for guiding management and evaluating prognosis; however, evidence from Vietnam remains limited. We conducted a prospective single-center cross-sectional observational s...

Persistent bilateral sensorineural hearing loss after ingestion of an analytically confirmed diethylene glycol-containing beverage: a case report

Diethylene glycol (DEG) poisoning is a rare but potentially fatal intoxication characterized by severe metabolic acidosis, acute kidney injury (AKI), and delayed neurological complications. Persistent bilateral sensorineural hearing loss associated with magnetic resonance imaging...

Association between thoracic epidural analgesia and gastrointestinal failure in acute pancreatitis: a prospective exploratory cohort study in Vietnam

Abstract Severe acute pancreatitis is characterized by profound inflammation and splanchnic hypoperfusion, which is often exacerbated by opioid-induced bowel dysfunction. We aimed to evaluate the association between thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) and early gastrointestinal fai...

Buccal-Based Flap Techniques in Secondary Cleft Palate Surgery: A Scoping Review of Current Evidence and Research Gaps

Secondary cleft palate reconstruction is challenging because residual or recurrent complications after palatoplasty occur in scarred, tissue-deficient, poorly vascularized fields, and buccal-based flaps are increasingly used for oronasal fistula (ONF) repair and for velopharyngea...

Evidence Synthesis of Probiotic Supplementation for Allergic Rhinitis in Adults: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

Background Probiotics are increasingly explored as a potential adjunctive treatment for allergic rhinitis, a condition affecting approximately one in five adults worldwide. Despite distinctive age-related differences in gut microbiota composition, immunologic characteristics, and...

Post-TAVR Neo-Sinus Geometry and Impaired Ventricular Recovery Are Associated with Early Leaflet Thrombosis: First MDCT Insights from Vietnam

Background/Objectives: Leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), typically identified as hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), is increasingly recognized as an early manifestation of bioprosthetic valve...
