The Role of Community Hospital Pediatric Departments in Counter Measures for Measles Epidemics at Olympic Game Sites.
CONCLUSIONS: Measles outbreaks are possible in Japan as a result of visitors from abroad. Items to mitigate an outbreak were identified as maintenance of high vaccination rates, readily available information regarding the location of negative pressure hospital rooms, the status of measles development, and finally medical staffing issues. There is a continued risk of measles outbreaks occurring in infants and individuals who do not have a measles antibody titer.

Comparative Analysis of the Measles Antibody Levels in Healthy Medical Personnel of Maternity Ward and Women in Labor
It has been proven that post-vaccination immunity to measles virus after two doses of vaccine is not able to persistently protect against infection throughout life. The goal of this research was to determine the immune layer to the measles virus among women in labor and maternity ward personnel in the same medical institution. The levels of IgG antibodies to measles virus in the umbilical cord blood of 594 women in labor and 88 workers of the maternity ward were studied by ELISA. It was revealed that 22.7% of umbilical cord blood serum samples from parturient women and 21.4% of blood serum samples from maternity ward perso...

Rapid Assessment of Ebola-Related Implications for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Service Delivery and Utilization in Guinea
Conclusions
This assessment of RMNCH service delivery and utilization was based on data abstraction and brief structured interviews at a selection of health care facilities in 12 prefectures and three city districts in Guinea from January to February 2015. Quality control measures implemented during data collection helped to ensure that the information collected was as complete and accurate as was feasible.
Though not necessarily representative of the country as a whole, the assessment in Guinea revealed a number of important findings. First, there was an overall decline in service utilization, as seen in the median numb...

Needs of Internally Displaced Women and Children in Baghdad, Karbala, and Kirkuk, Iraq
Conclusions
The vulnerability of this population is great, and the emotional trauma of multiple displacements, kidnapping and deaths from intentional violence is great. While some aid is reaching families, much more is needed. Though Iraq is a middle income country, reaching the IDPs in central Iraq will take much more in international assistance than is currently being received. Unfortunately, at this time of great need, assistance is being cut back throughout the region because of lack of funding.10 The local civil society organizations which have sprung up in many locations to assist IDPs, offer an avenue for targeting ...

Attacks on MSF health facilities in South Sudan obstruct aid efforts
Thousands of people are at risk of being left without desperately needed medical care after the international medical organization Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) was forced to suspend activities in Malakal, South Sudan, following the looting of its compounds, says MSF.

Vaccines, Antibodies and Drug Libraries. The Possible COVID-19 Treatments Researchers Are Excited About
In early April, about four months after a new, highly infectious coronavirus was first identified in China, an international group of scientists reported encouraging results from a study of an experimental drug for treating the viral disease known as COVID-19.
It was a small study, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, but showed that remdesivir, an unapproved drug that was originally developed to fight Ebola, helped 68% of patients with severe breathing problems due to COVID-19 to improve; 60% of those who relied on a ventilator to breathe and took the drug were able to wean themselves off the machines after 18...

Vaccination is widely considered to be among the greatest public health achievements in history. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has a long-standing policy in support of immunizations and we recognize the vital role nurses and health care providers have in the continued effort to increase vaccination coverage.

‘They’re Chipping Away.’ Inside the Grassroots Effort to Fight Mandatory Vaccines
Christina Hildebrand went down a rabbit hole and emerged at the statehouse in Sacramento.
That’s how she describes it–going down a rabbit hole–and in her case it happened 14 years ago, when she was pregnant with her first child. In a world filled with chemicals and toxins, processed foods and GMOs, she decided her baby would be brought up as naturally and chemical-free as possible. It was when she was researching how best to achieve that goal that she bumped into vaccines.
That was a bad time to begin thinking about such things. The fraudulent 1998 paper by British physician Andrew Wakefield ostensibly li...

Not Everyone Who Refuses To Vaccinate Is Politically Motivated
It's tempting to lump non-vaccinators into a single category, a politically charged cohort of angry commenters and conspiracy theorists who believe that vaccines cause autism despite all scientific evidence to the contrary. In reality, though, it's more complicated. In fact, that description represents just one of four different behavioral patterns that lead to vaccine refusal, according to a study published this month in the journal Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences. The study broke vaccine refusal into four broad categories: complacency, inconvenience, a lack of confidence, and a rational calcul...
