Ebola virus disease: where are we now and where do we go?
Despite its vivid place in the popular imagination, conjuring up images of germ warfare and Hollywood blockbusters, Ebola has previously affected a relatively small number of people. Prior to 2014, approximately 2400 people were infected, with just over 1500 deaths in the four decades since its 1976 discovery in Zaire and Sudan.1 Smaller outbreaks occurred in the late 1970s, with sporadic, larger ones each numbering under 500 cases seen in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) and Uganda in the 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s. Ebola virus disease (EVD) was therefore largely thought to be an exotic, tropical disease confine...

Now That The Election Is Over, Congress Seems To Have Calmed Down About Ebola
WASHINGTON -- The near-hysterical mood of congressional hearings on Ebola before the elections was replaced Wednesday by measured, reassuring debate in a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.
The committee held a hearing to discuss the White House's request for $6.2 billion to combat the epidemic. The Obama administration is asking for the money to ramp up efforts to control Ebola in Africa, prepare hospitals in the United States and develop treatments for the deadly virus.
Before the midterm elections, lawmakers in the House had hectored the nation's top medical experts in congressional hearings, often cutting them o...

Pro-vaccine messages may be counterproductive among vaccine-hesitant parents
Commentary on: Nyhan B, Reifler J, Richey S, et al.. Effective messages in vaccine promotion: a randomized trial. Pediatrics 2014;133:e835–42. Context Although childhood vaccine uptake is generally high in industrialised countries such as the UK, pockets of lower uptake still allow disease outbreaks. Much under -immunisation is due to difficulties with accessing services, while a small proportion of parents reject immunisation. Although definitions vary, ‘vaccine hesitancy’ is the neologism applicable to the attitude of those parents neither readily accepting nor totally refusing vaccines. Despite a lack ...

Dr. Fauci: It's a "shame" children are not being vaccinated for measles
The measles outbreak with roots in Disneyland continues to spread, with at least 75 confirmed cases in six states. At least 54 of those cases have been traced back to the resort, and many of those infected were not vaccinated. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss the severity of the outbreak.

Factors Associated with Intention to Receive Influenza and Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Acellular Pertussis (Tdap) Vaccines during Pregnancy: A Focus on Vaccine Hesitancy and Perceptions of Disease Severity and Vaccine Safety
This study has some important limitations. Since data were collected by self-report and not verified with medical records or vaccine registry data, there is potential for recall bias. Any recall bias which may have been introduced is assumed to have been non-differential with respect to characteristics likely to be associated with intention to receive antenatal influenza and/or Tdap vaccines. Additionally, while we excluded women who indicated having received an influenza and/or Tdap vaccine before completing her baseline survey, some women enrolled from intervention arm practices could have been exposed to the vaccine pro...

Occupational diseases in individuals exposed to metal working fluids
Purpose of review: To examine the current occurrence of respiratory and skin disease in workers who do metal machining with metal working fluids (MWFs), a common work process in manufacturing.
Recent findings: A summary of the 27 recognized outbreaks of respiratory disease in workers exposed to MWFs was published. New studies have identified irritative symptoms among workers with low-level exposures. There were review articles discussing the content, measurement and control of microbial agents in MWFs.
Summary: The occurrence of work-related asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis appears to have diminished in the last 10 ...

Positive response to omalizumab in patients with acquired idiopathic nonhistaminergic angioedema
Angioedema is defined as a localized and self-limiting subcutaneous and submucosal tissue edema due to a short-term release of vasoactive mediators, causing an increase in vascular permeability. Although most often accompanied by hives, angioedema may appear isolated and, like urticaria, display a chronic outcome with repeated outbreaks and no objective identifiable cause.1

Ebola Virus in Latest Outbreak Does Not Show Unusual Mutations, Study Finds
The rate of mutation appears normal, research suggests, and the high death toll stems from where the epidemic erupted, at the intersection of three vulnerable nations.
