The adverse effects of novel coronavirus on diabetic foot patients: A protocol for systematic review and meta analysis
Background: Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus in 2019, the number of new coronavirus infections worldwide has been increasing, there is no effective treatment or vaccine. Novel coronavirus infection is closely related todiabetes, the mortality of diabetes with novel coronavirus pneumonia is significantly higher than that of non diabetic with novel coronavirus pneumonia, Diabetic foot is one of the common and serious complications of diabetes, however, no systematic study on novel coronavirus pneumonia adverse effects on diabetic foot has been found at home and abroad, however, this is a problem that can not be igno...

Acute otitis media and antibiotics - a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: ABX appears to have a limited effect on both primary and secondary outcomes compared with placebo. A substantial number of patients experienced AE. New RCTs are needed to further clarify the effect. Ideally, RCTs could be conducted in Danish general practices in collaboration with practicing ear, nose and throat specialists to obtain large unselected populations with high rates of vaccine coverage. Until more evidence is provided, ABX should be considered among children younger than two years of age with severe symptoms of AOM, i.e. fewer and affected well-being.

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines for preventing acute otitis media in children.
CONCLUSIONS: Administration of the licenced CRM197-PCV7 and PHiD-CV10 during early infancy is associated with large relative risk reductions in pneumococcal AOM. However, the effects of these vaccines on all-cause AOM is far more uncertain based on low- to moderate-certainty evidence. We found no evidence of a beneficial effect on all-cause AOM of administering PCVs in high-risk infants, after early infancy, and in older children with a history of respiratory illness. Compared to control vaccines, PCVs were associated with an increase in mild local reactions (redness, swelling), fever, and pain and/or tenderness. There was...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 9146: Shared Decision Making Enhances Pneumococcal Vaccination Rates in Adult Patients in Outpatient Care
The objective of this review was to assess the impact of SDM on pneumococcal vaccination rates in adult patients. We conducted a systematic literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, and ERIC. RCTs and cluster RCTs were included, if they aimed to enhance pneumococcal vaccination rates in adult patients and comprised a personal interaction between health care provider (HCP) and patient. Three further aspects of the SDM process (patient activation, bi-directional exchange of information and bi-directional deliberation) were assessed. A meta-analysis was conducted for the effects of interventions on vaccination ...

The management of hematologic malignancies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Authors: Hus I, Salomon-Perzyński A, Tomasiewicz K, Robak T Abstract Introduction: Patients with hematological malignancies have experienced a more severe clinical course of COVID-19 and higher mortality than those with solid tumors and those without cancer. The ongoing pandemic poses many challenges in assuring the correct and timely diagnosis of hemato-oncology patients as well as the optimal treatment. Areas covered: The present paper reviews current data on the incidence and clinical course of COVID-19 in patients with hematological malignancies. A literature review of the MEDLINE database for articles was con...

The Potentially Recommended Pharmacotherapy for COVID-19.
Conclusions: There have been intensive attempts to explore drug therapy for the prophylaxis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection during this COVID-19 pandemic. Several drugs have been identified which including remdesivir, two antimalarials (chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine) and immunosuppressive agents. The effects of most drug interventions are currently highly uncertain and several drugs and vaccines are under trail for the effective treatment of COVID-19 virus, until an effective treatment will discover social distancing and physical hygiene should be practiced strictly.

Reducing death from COVID-19 pneumonia before widespread vaccination
When the pandemic hit the U.S. – we were caught off guard. We were uncertain about how COVID-19 spread or how it killed. But amidst the chaos, health care providers have learned how to better care for infected patients today. Since March, we’ve learned that surprisingly simple actions can make a significant difference in both […]Find jobs at  Careers by KevinMD.com.  Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now.  Learn more.

Why this critical care doctor got the COVID-19 vaccine
December is typically busy in the ICU. Flu and respiratory viral pneumonia cases start trickling into the ICU, interspersed with cardiac arrests, strokes, pulmonary emboli, septic shock, and COPD exacerbations. The ICU census starts creeping up. December 2020 has been unique and challenging. There were seemingly endless days of patients coming to the ICU, only […]Find jobs at  Careers by KevinMD.com.  Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now.  Learn more.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 14th 2021
In conclusion, a number of high-income countries, changes in health expectancies over time have not kept pace with the growth in life expectancy. That is, people are living longer but disability and poor health are occupying an increasing proportion of later life. Our findings suggest that countries still need to make significant progress to achieve the WHO's Decade of Healthy Ageing goal of healthier, longer lives for all.

Invasive Pneumococcal Disease burden and PCV coverage in children under five in Southeast Asia: implications for India
Conclusions: Widespread PCV use could successfully reduce IPD burden in the region due to high serotype coverage by available PCVs; emphasis should be placed on increasing vaccination uptake, for every child, particularly in India. Reducing health system barriers and improving surveillance and awareness is essential to improve coverage and effectively prevent IPD morbidity and mortality particularly in at risk regions.

B-Cell Immunophenotyping to Predict Vaccination Outcome in the Immunocompromised - A Systematic Review
Vaccination is the most effective measure to prevent infections in the general population. Its efficiency strongly depends on the function and composition of the immune system. If the immune system lacks critical components, patients will not be fully protected despite a completed vaccination schedule. Antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin levels are broadly used correlates of protection. These are the products of terminally differentiated B cells – plasma cells. Here we reviewed the literature on how aberrancies in B-cell composition and function influence immune responses to vaccinations. In a search through five major...

Properly Naming the Sinusitis-Otitis-Conjunctivitis Syndrome
One of our nonphysician providers recently announced, “This kid has that double-sickening thing you talk about all the time." She was referring to the sudden worsening of signs and symptoms (e.g., onset of fever) in a patient who had had an upper respiratory tract infection for several days.The majority of links in a Google search for “double-sickening" are references for sinusitis, but new-onset pneumonia is another double-sickening event. The Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines for sinusitis acknowledge double-sickening and concur that pneumonia can present similarly. I investigate for sinusit...

Prevalence of Bacteremia in Febrile Patients With Sickle Cell Disease: Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
Conclusions There appears to be a need to develop a risk stratification strategy to guide physicians to manage febrile patients with SCD based on factors including, but not limited to, history and clinical examination, vaccination status, use of prophylactic antibiotics, laboratory values, likely source of infection, and accessibility to health care.
