The MPA initiates research on vaccine safety and narcolepsy
The Medical Products Agency (MPA) has previously presented results from studies performed in Sweden on the safety of the pandemic vaccine Pandemrix. To further elucidate an association between narcolepsy and vaccination the MPA has initiated further research. The studies are coordinated by the MPA and are conducted both by in-house and by independent researchers and are expected to be ongoing during 2012.

4 historical medical devices that will horrify you
The history of medical devices is fraught with misguided ambition, shots in the dark, and, of course, quackery. It is also full of unbelievable invention. Photo by Steinar Engeland on Unsplash When we look back at our medical past, we might see the early iterations of technologies today.  There were mistakes, but there were also the early seeds of progress – including the development of antibodies, ingenuity in surgical tool design, and the burgeoning of medical ethics and evidence-driven medicine. We may laugh or dismiss the missteps as folly. But we should be cautious in our laughter because these products also contai...

Implementation of an electronic medical record does not change delivery of preventive care for HIV-positive patients
Conclusions: As EMR implementation expands, it is important to evaluate the effects that EMRs have on patient outcomes, including preventive health provision. Our study showed that after implementation of an EMR, the provision of most preventive care measures did not improve. This finding is in agreement with many published studies. Some studies have found positive effects from EMRs that may be attributable to specific aspects of EMRs. Further study of the effect of specific EMR attributes on health care outcomes is needed.

Promoting improved utilization of laboratory testing through changes in an electronic medical record: experience at an academic medical center
This case study over time describes five years of experience with interventions to improve laboratory test utilization at an academic medical center. The high-frequency laboratory tests showing the biggest declines in order volume post intervention were serum albumin (36%) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (17%). Introduction of restrictions for 170 high-cost send-out tests resulted in a 23% decline in order volume. Targeted interventions reduced mis-orders involving several “look-alike” tests: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D; manganese, magnesium; beta-2-glycoprotein, beta-2-microglobulin. Lastly, target...

Frederick, Duke of York (1763-1827) - Medical Patron
Frederick, Duke of York, was the hardest working prince of his day. He was Commander-in-Chief of the British Army for almost the entire period of the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars and he used his position to implement important reforms to benefit the health of troops. He encouraged hygiene initiatives and improved medical treatment, steadily seeking to enhance the quality of medical officers and facilities. Frederick was particularly involved in the spread of vaccination, authorising the very earliest clinical trials of the process and doing all he could to promote the practice. He also played an active role in ...

Virally vectored vaccine delivery: medical needs, mechanisms, advantages and challenges.
Abstract Vaccines represent one of the most successful chapters in the history of medicine. Over the past decades, the advent of recombinant cDNA technology has enabled the biomedical community to genetically engineer viruses for vaccine delivery purposes. As a starting point, this review evaluates the unmet medical needs, which drive scientists and industry to exploit such fundamentally new technology for human vaccination. The author discusses the molecular functioning, production and safety profile of replication-competent and -deficient viral vector systems, representing two fundamentally distinct classes of "...

3 Scientists and Planned Parenthood Win Lasker Prizes for Medical Research
(NEW YORK) — Two scientists who paved the way for widely used vaccines and another who discovered key players in cell growth have been awarded prestigious medical research awards. The Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation also announced Wednesday that it was giving its public service award to Planned Parenthood. Each award includes a $250,000 honorarium. The foundation’s clinical research award is shared by Dr. Douglas Lowy and John Schiller of the U.S. National Cancer Institute. In the early 1990s they began work that would eventually lead to vaccines against human papillomavirus, or HPV, which causes cervical can...

Anti-infective Vaccination Strategies in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies or Solid Tumors - Guideline of the Infectious Diseases Working Party (AGIHO) of the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology (DGHO).
gy Infectious Diseases Working Group (AGIHO) Abstract Infectious complications are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with malignancies specifically when receiving anticancer treatments. Prevention of infection through vaccines is an important aspect of clinical care of cancer patients. Immunocompromising effects of the underlying disease as well as of antineoplastic therapies need to be considered when devising vaccination strategies. This guideline provides clinical recommendations on vaccine use in cancer patients including autologous stem cell transplant recipients, while allogeneic ste...

Vaccination Status and Another Preventive Measures in Medical School. Big Needs and Opportunities
Vaccination Status and other Preventive Measures in Medical School. Big Needs and Opportunities, Diana Vilar-Compte, et  al. (1), is a public health priority and one of the many challenges medical schools in Mexico and worldwide face. Our country has a longstanding tradition of highly effective immunization coverage in infancy dating to the nineteen fifties that led to a significant decrease of under five mortality rates. Over the following years, intensive annual vaccination campaigns targeted hard to reach populations in urban and rural areas and the National Immunization Council was created in 1991 (2).
