Abstract: Objectives: Preliminary assessment of patient satisfaction and functional improvement after hip replacement surgery by self-reported measure Oxford Hip Score and several related factors. Methods: descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective study on patients received hip replacement surgery at the Orthopaedics Center, Hue Central Hospital due to severe pain and functional limitation from 10/2014 to 04/2015. Results: 20 patients participated in the study with a mean age of 69.75 (male 52.15 and female 73.63). The main cause of hip replacement surgery is fracture (55%) and aseptic necrosis of the femoral head (30%). The percentageof poor OHS level is 85% in preoperative assessment. Mean OHS scoredat 3 month and 6 monthpostoperatively increased over 19 points, with a good and very good OHS level 50% and 60% respectively the difference was statistically significant (p .05). The percentage of patients with poor function level at 6 month remained 30%. The proportion of patients achieved very satisfied and completely satisfied at 6 month is 80%. There are many factors affecting the degree of functionnal recovery and patient satisfaction after hip replacement therapy, but because of small number of subjects in our study, there is no clear statistical significance. Conclusion: Using the self-assessment scale Oxford Hip Score is a simple andcosteffective method with high validity and reliability for monitoring long-term changes of the hip joint function after hip replacement surgery. The high proportion of poor hip function level at 6 month after operation in our study may be due to many causes such as old age, co-morbidities, low preoperative OHS, complications after surgery, inadequate postoperative rehabilitation. Key words: Hip replacement therapy, pain, functions, self-reported measure, Oxford Hip Score, exercise, rehabilitation.

Abstract: Background: Low back pain (LBP) and pelvic girdle pain (PGP) are commonly reported during pregnancy and are known to affect pregnant women’s well-being. Still, these conditions are often considered to be a normal part of pregnancy. This study assesses the prevalence and severity of LBP and PGP among pregnant at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy (HueUMP) Hospital, as well as exploring factors associated with LBP and PGP. Methods: A cross-sectional study with successive recruitment of pregnant women was conducted at two district hospitals in HueMP from May 2021 to May 2022. The data was collected using self-reported questionnaires. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to assess the associations between independent variables and LBP and PGP. Results: A total of 204 pregnant women were included in the study. The reported prevalence of pregnancyrelated LBP and PGP were 57.8% and 26.5%, separately. Pain intensity was noticeable with a mean score of 4. The median disability scores according to the Oswestry Disability Index and total Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire were 10 (4 - 18) and 12 (9.3 - 17.3), respectively. In the final model for women with LBP the adjusted odds ratios were for body mass index ( 30) 1.0 (95% CI, 0.2–5.9), for participant’s education (primary, secondary, high school and university) 8.5 (95% CI, 2.4 - 30.6), 6.4 (95% CI, 1.8 - 23.0), 1.7 (95% CI, 0.5 - 5.6) and 1.8 (95% CI, 0.5 - 6.4), respectively. In the final model for women with PGP the adjusted odds ratios were, for participant’s education (primary, secondary, high school and university) 0.5 (95% CI, 0.1 - 2.8), 1.7 (95% CI, 0.4 - 8.2), 5.8 (95% CI, 1.2 - 28.8) and 2.6 (95% CI, 0.5 - 13.3), respectively, for working status and sleep hour per day (p 0.05). Conclusions: Pregnant women at HueUMP Hospital commonly report LBP and PGP. The women experienced low disability despite moderate pain intensity.

Abstract: Background: To date, there is no conclusive evidence that transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (TNMES) benefits patients with post-stroke dysphagia (PSD). In addition, the optimal TNMES electrode placement has not been well-established. This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate these two research gaps. Methods: Five major databases were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) through January 2022. Effect sizes were computed using Hedges’ g statistic, which were then entered into the random-effects model to obtain pooled effect estimates. Results: Twenty-four RCTs met the eligibility criteria. On the improvement of swallowing function, TNMES alone was not superior to conventional swallowing therapies (CSTs) combined therapy of TNMES and CSTs significantly surpassed CSTs alone (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.91, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.68 to 1.14, p 0.0001 I2 = 63%). Moreover, significant pooled effect sizes were observed in subgroups with horizontal electrode placement above the hyoid bone (SMD = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.72 to 1.16 I2 = 0%) and horizontal electrode placement just above and below the hyoid bone (SMD = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.14 I2 = 0%). The largest pooled effect size was observed in the subgroup that in idualized electrode placement according to dysphagia evaluation (SMD = 1.65, 95% CI: 0.38 to 2.91 I2 = 90%). Conclusion: TNMES should be used in combination with CSTs for PSD. Horizontal electrode placement should target suprahyoid muscles or both suprahyoid and thyrohyoid muscles.
