HA NOI - Viet Nam's National Hospital of Paediatrics in Ha Noi has received its first request from a foreigner to treat epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin disease, according to hospital director Nguyen Thanh Liem. The doctor said a Romanian man had asked the hospital to treat his 10-month-old son, who suffers from the inherited connective tissue disorder caused by problems with the chemicals that hold layers of skin together. EB is a genetic disease with an incidence of 1/50,000 in the world. Even with the most intensive care, EB patients usually die before the age of 40 and their quality of life is very poor. "The disease could absolutely be treated in Viet Nam using stem cell transplant technology," Liem said. Nguyen Viet Anh, a four-year-old boy from the northern province of Vinh Phuc, was successfully treated for EB at the hospital last September, when he underwent a bone marrow transplant that cured his lethal skin blisters.

HA NOI - Viet Nam will meet hosts Thailand in the final of the Southeast Asian Futsal Championship tomorrow in Bangkok. Viet Nam defeated Indonesia 5-3 in yesterday's first semifinal match, exacting sweet revenge for the 1-2 loss they suffered in the recent AFC Futsal Championship to Indonesia after extra time in the semifinals. Viet Nam took a 2-1 lead at the half before scoring three more goals after the breather. "We were a little bit nervous as this was the same venue we lost to Indonesia in the AFC semifinal stage," said chief coach Sergio Gargelli. "But overall, the team played really well and now we look forward to the final game." Viet Nam attacked from the outset and their aggressive play was rewarded when Nguyen Trong Thien scored the opener from inside the box in the eighth minute. However, Indonesia refused to back down and were quick to equalise two minutes later when Karami Balfas scored from long range. But it would be Viet Nam who went to the break … [Read more...] about Viet Nam to play Thailand in Asian futsal final
