Article Abstract

As a result of increasing societal demands and economic development, the number of medical schools in Vietnam has increased significantly over the past decade. In order to ensure physician competency, it is imperative that medical training meets a minimal threshold before entering clinical practice. The prospects of the National Medical Licensing Exam (NMLE) have been discussed extensively and are expected to be instrumental in influencing curriculum reform, thus enhancing the quality of medical education. This paper discusses briefly why NMLE is necessary for Vietnam, what should be considered when establishing it, who could be the responsible organization, and how good practices can be learned and used as personal recommendations for educators and policymakers.

School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Nanjing University, China. Electronic address:

The Segment Anything Model (SAM) is a cornerstone of image segmentation, demonstrating exceptional performance across various applications, particularly in autonomous driving and medical imaging, where precise segmentation is crucial. However, SAM is vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can significantly impair its functionality through minor input perturbations. Traditional techniques, such as FGSM and PGD, are often ineffective in segmentation tasks due to their reliance on global perturbations that overlook spatial nuances.

Guangdong Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy (SZ), Shenzhen, China. Electronic address:

Automatic segmentation of retinal vessels from retinography images is crucial for timely clinical diagnosis. However, the high cost and specialized expertise required for annotating medical images often result in limited labeled datasets, which constrains the full potential of deep learning methods. Recent advances in self-supervised pretraining using unlabeled data have shown significant benefits for downstream tasks.

Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR) have become an increasingly utilized form of respiratory protection against highly infectious aerosols. In the United States, PAPRs have been used in high-level clinical isolation settings to care for patients infected with viral hemorrhagic fevers and, more recently, during the COVID-19 pandemic. PAPRs have long been used for biocontainment care and experienced increased use during the pandemic because they provide full-face visibility and eye and respiratory protection.
