Healthcare Update — 03-25-2013
This study showed that in more than 4 of 5 obese children, the subcutaneous fat layer was too thick for an IM injection one quarter of the way down the thigh. In nearly 1 of 5 obese children, the subcutaneous fat layer was too thick three quarters of the way down the thigh. In those patients, the study suggested injecting the calf.
I suppose the manufacturer could be forced to make autoinjectors with longer needles, but then non-obese patients would theoretically risk getting a bone marrow injection of epinephrine.

Clinical Reasoning: An 85-year-old man with paresthesias and an unsteady gait
An 85-year-old man developed tingling in his feet, followed 1 week later by a similar sensation in both hands. He reported difficulty buttoning his shirt and unsteadiness when walking. There was no ascent of his symptoms proximal to the wrists and ankles. He denied pain, orthostasis, and bowel or bladder symptoms. He had had no prior similar symptoms, preceding illnesses, or recent changes in his health or medications. He had received the influenza vaccine 1 week prior to symptom onset.

Haemophilus influenzae Type b in an Immunocompetent, Fully Vaccinated ALL Survivor
A 7-year-old boy with a history of recurrent acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), in remission, presented to primary care clinic after 2 days of progressive right hip pain with weight-bearing activities. He was otherwise asymptomatic at the time of presentation. Blood cultures revealed Gram-negative diplococci, which prompted an MRI that was significant for a hip joint effusion and femoral head bone marrow edema. The patient had no sick contacts and no significant past medical history other than ALL. The patient had been given all recommended childhood vaccinations. Arthrocentesis and needle biopsy of the femoral neck were ...

Impact of Voluntary Accreditation on Short-Stay Rehabilitative Measures in U.S. Nursing Homes.
CONCLUSIONS: Approaches beyond traditional regulation and governmental inspections are necessary to improve the quality of care in nursing homes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: During a patient's rehabilitation stay, minimizing iatrogenic complications is paramount. Given the findings of this study, it is unfortunate that very few nursing homes are CARF accredited.

Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy after influenza vaccination
A 78-year-old man with hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease and history of allergy to cephalosporine, was admitted with chest pain and dyspnea, which appeared three days after administration of anti-influenza vaccine (Fluad® Novartis, a single dose of 0.50ml i.m.; containing an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus 15μg (HA), an A/Victoria/361/2011 (H3N2)-like virus 15μg (HA), a B/Wisconsin/1/2010-like virus 15μg (HA)).

Tamiflu saga continues - NYT. By Katie Thomas
Breaking the Seal on Drug ResearchPETER DOSHI walked across the campus of Johns Hopkins University in a rumpled polo shirt and stonewashed jeans, a backpack slung over one shoulder. An unremarkable presence on a campus filled with backpack-toters, he is 32, and not sure where he’ll be working come August, when his postdoctoral fellowship ends. And yet, even without a medical degree, he is one of the most influential voices in medical research today.Dr. Doshi’s renown comes not from solving the puzzles of cancer or discovering the next blockbuster drug, but from pushing the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companie...

Family Sues After Dangerous Flu Vaccine Causes Child to Become Severely Brain Damaged
Conclusion
After reading realms of information about the flu shot and the many tragic cases of vaccine-injured children, including the sad case of Saba Button, in my opinion, a child is far more likely to suffer serious side effects from the flu vaccine than from the flu itself.
However, despite the many children who have become seriously ill after various flu vaccines, the governments around the world continue to portray the flu vaccine as safe and effective.
Many flu vaccines still contain thimerosal, an ingredient that is said to have been removed from vaccines from as far back as 2007. [9] Since that time, this dangero...

Vaccines, Depression, and Type-1 Diabetes—Going Beyond Your Doctor
CONCLUSIONS
As per doctor recommendation, I would receive flu shots, my children would continue to be vaccinated, I would live through the nightmare of antidepressants, and our daughter would receive uncontrollable amounts of insulin that caused frequent and potentially life-threatening side effects. Doctors can be dead wrong, partially right, and completely right in their diagnosis, analysis, and treatment recommendations. As per my own research and in consulting with experts, I will never receive a flu shot again, and my children will not be vaccinated again until independent studies proof safety and effectiveness of vac...

International Day of Peace Manipulated to Promote Vaccinations in Developing Countries
Conclusion
I have demonstrated three stories from around the world, reporting on children either dying or suffering from severe adverse reactions after they have received vaccinations included the vaccination schedule. Yet despite the many continuing stories such as these, governments from around the world, hand-in-hand with medical agencies, continue to line up small children to vaccinate them with dangerous, pre-licensed vaccines.
While they do this, they allow organizations like Peace One Day to use International Day of Peace as an excuse to promote these vaccinations, over world peace. In my opinion the exploitation of...

Pain-free microneedle influenza vaccine is effective, long-lasting
(American Society for Microbiology) Scientists have developed an influenza vaccine delivered via microneedle patch that provided 100 percent protection against a lethal influenza virus in mice more than one year after vaccination. They report their findings in the September 2013 issue of the journal Clinical and Vaccine Immunology.

Increased city-level influenza mortality and state-level influenza severity is associated with greater functional decline among nursing home residents
Commentary on: Gozalo PL, Pop-Vicas A, Feng Z, et al.. Effect of influenza on functional decline. J Am Geriatr Soc 2012;60:1260–7. Implications for practice and research Prevention of exposure to influenza among long-stay nursing home residents has the potential to prevent significant morbidity, including functional decline. Nursing home quality measures may need to be adjusted seasonally or for regional influenza severity. Future research is needed to confirm these associations on an individual level and to determine if preventive measures, such as resident and staff vaccination and hand hygiene, can prevent functio...

Safety and immunogenicity of revaccination with reduced dose intradermal and standard dose intramuscular influenza vaccines in adults 18-64 years of age.
CONCLUSIONS: The ID vaccine was as immunogenic as the IM vaccine, and raised no safety concerns. It can be used interchangeably with the IM vaccine for annual revaccination in adults 18-64 years of age in consecutive years without safety concerns.

Evaluation of safety and immunogenicity of recombinant influenza hemagglutinin (H5/Indonesia/05/2005) formulated with and without a stable oil-in-water emulsion containing glucopyranosyl-lipid A (SE+GLA) adjuvant.
CONCLUSIONS: rHA GLA/SE was well tolerated and immunogenic in healthy adults, and GLA/SE substantially improved the serum antibody response. rHA expressed using BEVS recombinant DNA platform technology represents a promising strategy for pandemic control.
