Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults.
CONCLUSIONS: Influenza vaccines have a very modest effect in reducing influenza symptoms and working days lost in the general population, including pregnant women. No evidence of association between influenza vaccination and serious adverse events was found in the comparative studies considered in the review. This review includes 90 studies, 24 of which (26.7%) were funded totally or partially by industry. Out of the 48 RCTs, 17 were industry-funded (35.4%).

A Marginal Benefit Approach for Vaccinating Influenza "Superspreaders"
Conclusions. Our approach offers a means of estimating willingness to pay for search costs associated with targeted vaccination of superspreaders, which can inform policies regarding whether a targeted intervention should be implemented and, if so, up to what levels.

After adjusting for bias in meta-analysis seasonal influenza vaccine remains effective in community-dwelling elderly
Abstract: Objective: To compare the performance of the bias-adjusted meta-analysis to the conventional meta-analysis assessing seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness among community-dwelling elderly aged 60 years and older.Study Design and Setting: Systematic literature search revealed 14 cohort studies that met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Laboratory-confirmed influenza, influenza-like illness, hospitalization from influenza and/or pneumonia, and all-cause mortality were study outcomes. Potential biases were identified using bias checklists. The magnitude and uncertainty of biases were assessed by expert opinion. ...

The Scary Truth About the New York City Flu Vaccine Mandate
Conclusion Families should not be forced to inject their child with toxic substances. They should not be forced to receive a vaccine that is ineffective and dangerous. They should not be forced to give up their preferred choice for quality, early childhood education and care programs in order to avoid forced vaccination. Families should be allowed to make the choices for their health and well-being that are best for their family. If your child attends day care or preschool in New York City, we urge you to contact your elected officials and tell them you are against forced vaccination for your child. In addition, you may ex...

Determinants of uptake of influenza vaccination among pregnant women - A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Influenza vaccination uptake among pregnant women is suboptimal and HCPs rarely recommend it. Positive vaccination recommendations from HCPs as well as direct access to the vaccine would likely substantially improve vaccination acceptance. PMID: 24996123 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Search strategyWe searched bibliographic databases from inception to April 2014. Selection criteriaExperimental or observational studies assessing the relationship between influenza vaccination during pregnancy and fetal death or preterm birth.

Vaccination of Older Adults with Dementia Against Respiratory Infections.
Abstract People with dementia are at a greater risk of complications from respiratory infections therefore can benefit from vaccinations against influenza, pneumococcal disease and pertussis. This review aimed to evaluate the uptake and impact of vaccination in older adults with dementia against respiratory infections and identify knowledge gaps. Key databases were explored, search results were assessed, relevant studies identified, and data were synthesised and summarised. Most available data suggest that older adults with dementia are less likely to receive influenza or pneumococcal vaccine while a few studies i...

Fetal death and preterm birth associated with maternal influenza vaccination: systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Most studies reported no association between fetal death or preterm birth and influenza vaccination during pregnancy. Although several reported risk reductions, results may be biased by methodological shortcomings of observational studies of influenza vaccine effectiveness.

Haemophilus influenzae oral vaccination for preventing acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Analyses demonstrate that NTHi oral vaccination of patients with recurrent exacerbations of chronic bronchitis or COPD does not yield a significant reduction in the number and severity of exacerbations. Evidence is mixed and the individual trials that show a significant benefit of the vaccine are too small to advocate widespread oral vaccination of people with COPD.

Evans Syndrome Presented with Marginal Zone Lymphoma and Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor in an Elderly Woman
We report a case of ES in an elderly patient in the presence of multiple trigger factors such as recent influenza vaccine, marginal zone lymphoma, and neuroendocrine tumor G1. Whether this association is casual or causal remains a matter of speculation. It is however necessary to have a thorough work-up in a newly diagnosed ES and a more accurate search of miscellaneous factors especially in elderly patients.

Neuroimmunology: Disease mechanisms in narcolepsy remain elusive
Nature Reviews Neurology 10, 616 (2014). doi:10.1038/nrneurol.2014.191 Authors: Ilkka Julkunen & Markku Partinen A pandemic influenza vaccine with a specific type of vaccine antigen has been linked to an increased incidence of narcolepsy in children from 2009–2010. However, the recent retraction of an article that reported a putative autoantigen means that the search for the mechanisms behind the vaccine–narcolepsy connection continues.

2014: The Year of the Virus
Ebola is now a dreaded household name. Everyone has heard of this virus, causing thousands of deaths in countries in Africa particularly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. We followed the plight of health care workers who put their lives on the line to battle the viral disease, trying to prevent the virus from spreading to the next host. But what about the Enterovirus D68? And what about Chlorovirus, Densovirus, Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus and Ranavirus? (See Bullets below). Our understanding of the viral world is severely limited. Viruses are the most numerous and diverse entities on earth with estimates of 1.7 bi...
