What does the historic settlement won by Henrietta Lacks ’s family mean for others?
Last week, the family of Henrietta Lacks settled its lawsuit against the huge biotechnology company Thermo Fisher Scientific over its claim that the company had been “unjustly enriched” by its use of her cells. Lacks was a Black woman who died of cervical cancer in 1951, soon after a doctor took a sample from her tumor without her knowledge or consent and created an immortal cell line, HeLa. No financial payments or other terms of the settlement were disclosed, and no judge ruled on the fundamentals of the unusual claim. But some have nevertheless hailed it as precedent setting. And the family ’ s la...

Frequency of health care provider recommendations for HPV vaccination: a survey in three large cities in China
DISCUSSION: The frequency of HCPs' recommendations for HPV vaccination in China was much lower than that in many developed countries. To enhance the recommendation frequency, medical institutions should help HCPs gain more knowledge of HPV and master communication skills. At the same time, the government should take measures to enhance the accessibility of HPV vaccines. The media should help to alleviate people's concerns and encourage them to face up sexual health.PMID:37497028 | PMC:PMC10366465 | DOI:10.3389/fpubh.2023.1203610

Durability of serologic responses to inactivated hepatitis A virus vaccination among people living with HIV following acute hepatitis A outbreak: a 5-year follow-up study
Emerg Microbes Infect. 2023 Jul 20:2239946. doi: 10.1080/22221751.2023.2239946. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSerologic responses to hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccination may wane among immunocompromised populations. To evaluate the long-term seroresponses to 2-dose HAV vaccination, we retrospectively included people living with HIV (PLWH) who had achieved seroconversion within 12 months after vaccination at a university hospital during an outbreak of acute hepatitis A between 2015 and 2017. PLWH included in the study received either Havrix or Vaqta. The seroresponses were evaluated 60 months after the second dose of vaccina...

What is the optimal country for minimum COVID-19 morbidity and mortality rates?
The objective of this manuscript is to rank world countries based on the anticipated scope of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, measured in terms of prevalence per 1 million persons, from the lowest to the highest. The ranking of 162 countries is based on predictions of empirical models, which include three explanatory variables: hospital beds per thousand persons, population density, and the median age of the country's population. Referring to the COVID-19 scope of morbidity, the lowest likelihood of infection is obtained in Niger and Mali, where the dominant characteristic is the young median age (15.1-16.4 years). Refer...

Retrieving Billions in Overpayments by CMS
This article focuses on the relatively young technologies that enable CMS to uncover overbillings, whether they be errors or fraud. The article is based on an interview with Kel Pults, chief clinical officer and vice president of MediQuant. A future article will explain how Medicare Advantage plans are trying to improving data collection and reporting, and how AI helps. Challenges of Investigating Overpayments Undeserved payments are needles lurking in the haystack of 135 million Americans enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). But the needles pile up fast. Improper payments f...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 13th 2023
This study investigated whether taller Polish adults live longer than their shorter counterparts. Data on declared height were available from 848,860 individuals who died in the years 2004-2008 in Poland. To allow for the cohort effect, the Z-values were generated. Separately for both sexes, Pearson's r coefficients of correlation were calculated. Subsequently, one way ANOVA was performed. The correlation between adult height and longevity was negative and statistically significant in both men and women. After eliminating the effects of secular trends in height, the correlation was very weak (r = -0.0044 in men and ...
