HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 4, 2025--

The two organizations co-planned Vietnam's first "Comprehensive Veterinary Cardiology Series," a seven-part course, and successfully held its first session from October 11th to 12th in Ho Chi Minh City.
Held under the theme 'Join the cardiology gold rush during the golden hour with NEL,' the course focused on the 'Echocardiography Training Session' during its seven sessions.
The training course featured a systematic curriculum covering cardiac-related internal medicine, diagnostic imaging (echocardiography), and specialized practical training. It received an enthusiastic response from local participating veterinarians for its in-depth content, combining theory and practice.
Korean cardiology experts with extensive clinical experience, including Director Son Seong-ji of NEL Animal Medical Foundation and Professor Yoon Hak-young of Jeonbuk National University, participated as lecturers for this session. They actively shared their expertise and clinical know-how with their Vietnamese colleagues, leading to lively discussions.
This long-term educational project, made possible through the close cooperation of local Vietnamese company Saigon Ventures Inc. and Singapore's SV CROSSBORDER, which oversees veterinary education in Asia, is significant for successfully opening a new venue for exchange where veterinarians from both countries can enhance their expertise together.
Director Deok-ho Lim of NEL Animal Medical Foundation stated, "We are delighted to share the expertise and experience of both nations through this collaboration with VSAVA. We hope this special training, run like a 7-session school, will be an opportunity for Korean and Vietnamese veterinarians to grow together, while advancing veterinary cardiology throughout Asia."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alex Ovechkin scored twice and hit the 30-goal mark for the 20th time in his NHL career, and the Washington Capitals beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-4 on Tuesday night.
Tom Wilson also had two goals, Jakob Chychrun had a goal and two assists, and Ryan Leonard added a goal and an assist. Pierre-Luc Dubois had three assists for the Capitals, who have won three straight as they try to climb back into playoff position.
Travis Sanheim, Carl Grundstrom, Christian Dvorak and Denver Barkey scored and Porter Martone made his NHL debut for the Flyers, whose three-game winning streak came to an end.
Late in the first, Wilson’s shot from the slot made it 1-0 in his 900th career NHL game. Minutes later, Ovechkin cashed in Matt Roy’s cross-crease feed to extend Washington’s lead to 2-0.
Ovechkin has reached 30 goals in all but one season: the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign, where he had 24 in 45 games.
The Flyers fought back to open the second, evening the score in a span of 4:36 minutes on a point shot from Sanheim and lay-up from Grundstrom. Washington didn’t take long to respond, though, as Chychrun’s one-timer on the power play made it 3-2. Leonard scored another power-play goal later in the period to put the Capitals back up by two.
While Dvorak pulled things to 4-3 to open the third, Ovechkin got to the front and buried a one-timer to restore the two-goal lead with his 928th career goal.
Barkey’s deflection brought the Flyers within one, but Washington and Thompson fended off a comeback effort while Wilson iced the win late with an empty-netter.
Thompson stopped 20 of 24 shots, and Dan Vladar had 12 saves on 17 shots.
Martone, who signed his entry-level contract on Sunday, led the Flyers with five shots on goal through nearly 17 minutes in his debut.
Flyers: Host Detroit on Thursday.
Capitals: Visit New Jersey on Thursday.
