End-Stage Renal Disease: Medical Management
Am Fam Physician. 2021 Nov 1;104(5):493-499.ABSTRACTEnd-stage renal disease (ESRD) is diagnosed when kidney function is no longer adequate for long-term survival without kidney transplantation or dialysis. Primary care clinicians should refer people at risk of ESRD to nephrology to optimize disease management. Kidney transplantation typically yields the best patient outcomes, although most patients are treated with dialysis. The decision to initiate dialysis is best made through shared decision-making. Because most patients with ESRD elect to receive hemodialysis, the preservation of peripheral veins is important for those...

HBV Infection Is an Intermediate-Risk Disease, Whereas Anaemia Is a Mild-to-Moderate Public Health Problem in Young Ghanaian Adults: A Four-Year Retrospective Analysis of Students' Medical Records
CONCLUSION: Intentional preventative public health campaigns regarding anaemia, HBV, and HCV infection should, respectively, target females and young adult males to increase chances of making real change in behavioural attitudes in these at-risk groups.PMID:37475793 | PMC:PMC10356218 | DOI:10.1155/2023/9318984

Education Provides Significant Benefits to Patients With Hepatitis B Virus or Hepatitis C Virus Infection: A Systematic Review
Background & Aims: Education of individuals who are at risk for, or have been diagnosed with, chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections can improve their participation in disease management. We performed a systematic review to evaluate the effects of educational interventions for patients with HBV or HCV infections.Methods: We searched multiple databases for peer-reviewed studies of individuals with HBV or HCV infection, or those at risk for infection. Our final analysis included 14 studies that evaluated any educational intervention and reported the effectiveness or patient outcomes relevant to...

Improving hepatitis B birth dose coverage through village health volunteer training and pregnant women education.
Abstract Hepatitis B is highly endemic in the Republic of Kiribati, while the coverage of timely birth dose vaccination, the primary method shown to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus, was only 66% in 2014. Children born at home are especially at high risk, as they have limited access to timely birth dose (i.e. within 24 h) vaccination. To improve birth dose coverage, a project to improve linkages between village health volunteers and health workers and educate pregnant women on hepatitis B vaccination was carried out in 16 communities with low birth dose coverage in Kiribati from November 2...

Documentation of Hepatitis B Immunity in Nursing Students.
Abstract Because of the risk of occupational exposure, preparation for nursing student clinical placement includes documentation of the hepatitis B immunization series. Requiring a hepatitis B antibody titer is less common. Immunity from the hepatitis B vaccine decreases over time, particularly for those immunized as infants. A record review of one nursing program that required both immunization and an antibody titer found 86 percent of students immunized as infants had low antibody levels, requiring reimmunization following 2013 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Nursing education programs tha...

Preventive vaccinations for medical personnel.
Abstract Vaccinations are among the most efficient and important preventive medical procedures. Modern vaccines are well tolerated. In Germany there are no longer laws for mandatory vaccinations, either for the general public or for medical personnel. Vaccinations are now merely "officially recommended" by the top health authorities on the basis of recommendations from the Standing Committee on Vaccinations (STIKO) of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) according to § 20 para 3 of the Protection against Infection law (IfSG). The management of vaccine damage due to officially recommended vaccinations is guaranteed by ...

A Medical Student-Driven "Vaccine Blitz" at a School-Based Health Center as an Effective Way to Improve Adolescent Vaccination Rates.
CONCLUSIONS: Medical student-driven vaccine blitzes within an SBHC are a feasible, replicable, and effective way to increase adolescent vaccination rates. In addition, the blitz provided preclinical medical students' exposure to underserved populations, adolescent health as part of the breadth of family medicine, SBHCs, and community medicine and allowed for multidisciplinary work between medical students, public health students, physicians, and nurse practitioners.

Awareness and Vaccine Coverage of Hepatitis B among Cameroonian Medical Students.
Conclusion: Despite adequate knowledge on HBV infection and vaccination only about 1 in 6 medical students had completed the HBV vaccination series. This highlights the need for better health policies aimed at increasing access and coverage of the HBV in at-risk populations like medical students. PMID: 30356352 [PubMed - in process]
