Vinmec Times City International Hospital is the first organization in Vietnam to receive certification from both the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Laboratory Accreditation Program (LAP) and Joint Commission International, marking a significant turning point in Vietnam's approach to health care quality control. This article shares our journey toward CAP accreditation, offering insights from a laboratory in a developing nation. The data sources include documentation of our laboratory's experiences during 2 years (2020-2022), illustrating the collaborative work and achievements in preparing for the first inspection of the CAP LAP, alongside prior discussions and commitments (2018-2020) to develop our plan. By working as a cohesive team of pathologists and staff, with a well-thought-out plan and strong support from the hospital's executive leadership and administrative team, Vinmec Times City International Hospital in Hanoi was able to take the initial steps toward achieving and maintaining an international standard in laboratory quality management.

As listed by the WHO, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, particularly Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, highlights the urgent need for novel antimicrobial agents. In parallel, fungal infections, especially those caused by Candida albicans, have also become increasingly prevalent and clinically challenging, further emphasizing the necessity for broad-spectrum therapeutic strategies. In particular, skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) caused by these bacteria and fungal are common in humans and can lead to severe complications if left untreated.

Background And Aim: Although Kasai surgery has saved many patients with biliary atresia, the long-term survival rate remains low. Recently, cell therapy has been explored as a potential strategy to improve post-surgical survival. This study aims to evaluate the safety and outcomes of allogeneic umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) infusion in management of liver cirrhosis due to Biliary Atresia after Kasai Operation.

Background: Poor compliance with hereditary angioedema guidelines for on-demand treatment is common due to challenges with parenteral administration. Sebetralstat, an oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor, demonstrated faster times to beginning of symptom relief, reduction in attack severity, and complete resolution than placebo in the phase 3 KONFIDENT trial (NCT05259917).
Objective: This analysis evaluated long-term safety and effectiveness of sebetralstat in KONFIDENT-S (NCT05505916), an ongoing, 2-year, open-label extension study.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents the majority of lung cancer cases, with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations playing a crucial role in disease prognosis and treatment. Around half of Asian patients with NSCLC, particularly non-smoking women, have EGFR mutations. These patients with NSCLC typically exhibit a single EGFR mutation in exon 18, 19, 20, or 21.
