Efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of herpes zoster vaccine in the immunocompetent and immunocompromised subjects: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Both RZV and ZVL can reduce the risk of herpes zoster in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised subjects. RZV was well-tolerated in the study population and demonstrated stronger protection than ZVL.SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: Prospero CRD42022310495.PMID:36248796 | PMC:PMC9561817 | DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2022.978203

Pediatric herpes zoster ophthalmicus: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: HZO occurs in both healthy and immunocompromised children. Recognizing this treatable condition is essential for reducing ocular and systemic morbidity. Long-term follow-up and assessments of the impact on health in adulthood are lacking. More systematic study is needed to determine the incidence of HZO in children and appropriate diagnostic and treatment protocols for the care of pediatric patients with HZO.PMID:36949170 | PMC:PMC10033303 | DOI:10.1007/s00417-023-06033-0

Herpes Zoster Virus Reactivation in a 16 Year Old Female Post COVID-19 Vaccine. Case report and Review of the Literature
CONCLUSION: Varicella zoster virus falls under the family of Herpesviridae, It's characterized by its ability to escape host immune system and remain dormant in ganglionic neurons. Reactivation of the infection will result in herpes zoster manifesting as painful vesicles in a dermatomal distribution. Possible link is the suppression of type-one interferons caused by the mRNA-based vaccine such as COVID-19 vaccines. Yet, potential correlation remains to be demonstrated.PMID:37260797 | PMC:PMC10227837 | DOI:10.5455/medarh.2023.77.146-149

Similar herpes zoster incidence across Europe: results from a systematic literature review
Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) is caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and mainly affects individuals aged>=50 years. The forthcoming European launch of a vaccine against HZ (Zostavax(R)) prompts the need for a better understanding of the epidemiology of HZ in Europe. Therefore the aim of this systematic review was to summarize the available data on HZ incidence in Europe and to describe age-specific incidence. Methods: The Medline database of the National Library of Medicine was used to conduct a comprehensive literature search of population-based studies of HZ incidence published between 1960 and 20...

Could depression be the result of a brain infection?
ConclusionThe paper's hypothesis is interesting, but it remains just that – a hypothesis. While it is true that some pathogens, such as the Borna disease virus mentioned in the article, have been linked with neuropsychiatric disorders, there is no proof as yet that bacteria, viruses or parasites could cause major depression. Still, as the old truism goes: "Absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence". The lack of evidence could be because nobody has bothered to look for it before.The author concludes that, "It would be worthwhile to conduct large-scale studies of carefully characterised de...

Shingrix: The New Adjuvanted Recombinant Herpes Zoster Vaccine.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on published immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety data, as well as the recent recommendations by the ACIP, HZ/su should be included on both hospital and community pharmacy formularies and recommended to all immunocompetent patients older than 50 years to prevent herpes zoster.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 25th 2020
In conclusion, our results suggest a previously unknown mechanism whereby the canonical NF-κB cascade and a mitochondrial fission pathway interdependently regulate endothelial inflammation. Lin28 as a Target for Nerve Regeneration https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2020/05/lin28-as-a-target-for-nerve-regeneration/ Researchers here show that the gene Lin28 regulates axon regrowth. In mice, raised levels of Lin28 produce greater regeneration of nerve injuries. Past research has investigated Lin28 from the standpoint of producing a more general improvement in regenerative capacity. It improves mitochondri...

Heplisav-B: A Hepatitis B Vaccine With a Novel Adjuvant.
CONCLUSION: HepB-CpG has been shown to be as immunogenic as Engerix-B; however, long-term safety and persistence of immune memory has yet to be established. PMID: 32988213 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

What It Really Feels Like to Have Monkeypox
Since the global monkeypox outbreak began in May 2022, more than 22,000 cases have been confirmed in countries around the world. More than 5,000 of those cases have been recorded in the U.S., with many clustered in hotspots including New York and California. The virus, which often results in a blister-like rash and spreads through close contact, has so far predominantly affected men who have sex with men. Even as cases tick up and monkeypox gains public attention, however, it can still be difficult to find information about testing, treatment, and vaccines. Many people who fear they are at risk or infected are left to seek...

Healthcare workers' perceptions and experiences of communicating with people over 50 years of age about vaccination: a qualitative evidence synthesis
CONCLUSIONS: There is little research focusing specifically on healthcare workers' perceptions and experiences of communication with older adults about vaccination. The studies we identified suggest that healthcare workers differed among themselves in their perceptions about the aim of this communication and about the role of older adults in vaccine decisions. Based on these findings and the other findings in our review, we have developed a set of questions or prompts that may help health system planners or programme managers when planning or implementing strategies for vaccination communication between healthcare workers ...

Pityriasis rosea, pityriasis rosea-like eruptions and herpes zoster in the setting of covid-19 and covid-19 vaccination
Clin Dermatol. 2022 Jan 27:S0738-081X(22)00002-5. doi: 10.1016/j.clindermatol.2022.01.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPityriasis rosea (PR), pityriasis rosea like eruptions (PR-LEs) and herpes zoster (HZ) have been frequently reported during COVID-19 or following COVID-19 vaccination. PR is a self-limiting exanthematous disease and HZ a treatable condition, therefore their occurrence does not require discontinuation of the vaccination schedule. PR-LE is a hypersensitivity reaction and, therefore, less predictable in its course. In case of booster dose, the clinical manifestation may not recur, may be different from PR-L...

Neuro-Ophthalmological Complications of the COVID-19 Vaccines: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Since the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in the past year, several post-COVID-vaccination neuro-ophthalmological complications have been described. However, considering the number of individuals that have been exposed to the vaccines, the risk seems very low, and the clinical outcome in most cases is favorable. Therefore, on a population level, the benefits of the vaccines far outweigh the risk of neuro-ophthalmological complications.PMID:35427282 | DOI:10.1097/WNO.0000000000001537
