Feasibility and benefits of training to screen for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
CONCLUSION: These results encourage both holding and following up such sessions. The specialized professional environment ensures knowledge updates and offers subsequent assistance. Further improving these sessions will increase their benefits in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and health economy. PMID: 31279593 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) in Solid Organ Transplant Patients
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and the two herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are human α‐herpesviruses that establish life‐long latency in neural ganglia after initial primary infection. In the solid organ transplant (SOT) population, manifestations of VZV or HSV may be seen in up to 70% of recipients if no prophylaxis is used, some of them life and organ threatening. While there are effective vaccines to prevent VZV primary infection and reactivation in immunocompetent adults, these vaccines are contraindicated after SOT because they are live‐virus vaccines. For HSV, prevention has focused primarily on antiviral strategie...

Human Herpesvirus Vaccines and Future Directions
Over the last few years there has been an impressive increase in the virological and immunological tools available to detect both human herpesvirus (HHV) and immune control of replication post‐solid organ transplantation. This has allowed a greater appreciation of pathogenesis, studies to be designed to evaluate potential vaccines, new approaches adopted for antiviral deployment and the success of interventions to be judged. This chapter aims to summarize the state‐of‐the‐art in vaccine development and look forward to the role that vaccines, immune monitoring, viral kinetics and new antiherpesvirus agents may play ...

Factors associated with vaccination for hepatitis B, pertussis, seasonal and pandemic influenza among French general practitioners: A 2010 survey.
Abstract Our objectives were to describe the vaccine coverage (VC(1)) for some occupational vaccines (hepatitis B, pertussis, seasonal and pandemic influenza) among French General Practitioners (GPs(2)) and to study the factors associated with being vaccinated for each of these four diseases. We surveyed a representative national sample of 1431 self-employed GPs in France. Self-reported VC was 76.9% for 2009/10 seasonal influenza, 73.0% for hepatitis B, 63.9% for pertussis and 60.8% for A/H1N1 pandemic influenza. The factors associated with reporting being vaccinated were quite different from one vaccine to anothe...

Seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C virus infections among health students and health care workers in the najran region, southwestern Saudi Arabia: The need for national guidelines for health students
Conclusion: It is mandatory to develop a structured program to raise awareness among HS, and current health colleges' curricula should be upgraded to address these issues early. The HS should be considered new recruits to health services in terms of their initial screening for blood-borne infections and vaccination against HBV. The development of a novel continuing medical education and pre-employment awareness program for HCWs is recommended to address the following: blood-borne diseases transmitted occupationally, standard precautions to prevent occupationally transmitted blood borne infections, and safe injection practices.

Human papillomavirus vaccine trials and tribulations
As of December 2014, there were 3 approved vaccines for human papillomavirus (HPV): bivalent Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline, New York, NY), quadrivalent Gardasil (Merck and Co, Kenilworth, NJ), and 9-valent Gardasil-9 (Merck and Co). The average cost per dose is $120, with a recommended 3-dose course. The quadrivalent vaccine is the most widely administered worldwide. As with the bivalent and 9-valent vaccines, the vaccine is considered safe, although concerns have been raised. In addition to immunization against the targeted HPV types, there is evidence that there is cross protection against other types of HPV.

Perceptions of a Continuing Medical Education Activity to Increase Knowledge of Vaccination in Adults with Chronic Inflammatory Conditions Among Clinicians
Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases are at increased risk for infections. Vaccination rates in this population are suboptimal. Vaccine knowledge among providers and patients is a significant barrier.

Dermatologic care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons face important health issues relevant to dermatologists. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at higher risk of certain infectious diseases, including HIV, syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, and invasive meningococcal disease, and might be at higher risk of non-infectious conditions, including skin cancer. Recommendations for preventive health care, including screening for HIV and other STDs, sexual health-related vaccinations, and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, differ for MSM compared with non-MSM.
