Human papillomavirus vaccination at the first opportunity: An overview
Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2023 May 23:2213603. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2023.2213603. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for adolescents in the United States since 2006. Though recommended at a similar time to the routine recommendations for adolescent tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccination (Tdap) and quadrivalent meningococcal vaccination (MCV4), HPV vaccine uptake has consistently lagged behind these other adolescent vaccines. The ACIP recommends HPV vaccination at 11-12 y, with vaccination starting at 9 ...

Risk of Inappropriately Timed Live Vaccination After Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Infants who undergo cardiac surgery between the ages of 5 and 12 months are at risk for inappropriate live vaccination timing. A clinically significant percentage of pediatric patients who received blood products during a cardiac surgical admission later received live vaccines at times that were inconsistent with AAP, ACIP, and CDC recommendations. Future interventions aimed at educating providers and patients may be warranted.PMID:36415771 | PMC:PMC9674358 | DOI:10.5863/1551-6776-27.8.750

Pediatrics. 2022 Feb 1;149(2):e2021054578. doi: 10.1542/peds.2021-054578.ABSTRACTThe US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the biologics license application for the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine (Comirnaty) on August 23, 2021, opened the door to the off-label vaccination of children younger than the age range currently covered by either the biologics license application (16 years old and older) or the emergency use authorization (12 to 15 years old). Although prescribing medications at doses, for conditions, or in populations other than those approved by the FDA is generally legal and is comm...

Inside the Global Quest to Trace the Origins of COVID-19 —and Predict Where It Will Go Next
It wasn’t greed, or curiosity, that made Li Rusheng grab his shotgun and enter Shitou Cave. It was about survival. During Mao-era collectivization of the early 1970s, food was so scarce in the emerald valleys of southwestern China’s Yunnan province that farmers like Li could expect to eat meat only once a year–if they were lucky. So, craving protein, Li and his friends would sneak into the cave to hunt the creatures they could hear squeaking and fluttering inside: bats.
Li would creep into the gloom and fire blindly at the vaulted ceiling, picking up any quarry that fell to the ground, while his companion...

All Your Coronavirus Questions, Answered
One of the worst symptoms of any plague is uncertainty—who it will strike, when it will end, why it began. Merely understanding a pandemic does not stop it, but an informed public can help curb its impact and slow its spread. It can also provide a certain ease of mind in a decidedly uneasy time. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the COVID-19 pandemic from TIME’s readers, along with the best and most current answers science can provide.
A note about our sourcing: While there are many, many studies underway investigating COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-19, the novel coronavirus that causes the illn...

Where Is the Boundary to Augment Life?
Cloning, CRISPR and gene editing, synthetic life forms, and longevity. The latest scientific discoveries are able to offset the natural order of human existence and meddle with sacred questions of life and death. Even so, does gaining insight into the secrets of being mean it should also be put into practice? Are we aware of the consequences? Where are the boundaries to augment life?
Life, death and the coin for Charon the Ferryman

An evidence‐based review of the rectovaginal examination during well‐woman visits
ConclusionsAvailable literature shows the RVE to have low sensitivity in detecting uterosacral nodularity, rectal compression, cervical involvement of endometrial cancer, and colorectal cancer.
Implications for practiceThis critical review of available literature found no evidence to support the use of the RVE in well‐woman visits. NPs should limit the use of the RVE to patients presenting with rectovaginal or pelvic complaints.

Ethical Issues in Environmental Health Research Related to Public Health Emergencies: Reflections on the GuLF STUDY
Conclusions
Environmental health research related to disasters and other public health emergencies raises challenging ethical issues that need to be addressed beforehand, including
Minimizing risks and promoting benefits to participants.
Obtaining valid informed consent.
Providing financial compensation to participants.
Working with vulnerable participants.
Protecting participant confidentiality.
Addressing conflicts of interest.
Dealing with legal implications of research.
Obtaining review from the IRB, community groups, and other committees (e.g., scientific review committees).
To ensure that these issues are handled p...

The Effectiveness of Disaster Risk Communication: A Systematic Review of Intervention Studies
The objectives of the interventions were to improve the health knowledge and behaviour in relation to disasters, and to decrease the incidence of negative health events. The studies were chosen on that basis, and several studies reported additional outcomes that were outside the scope of this review. The knowledge, behaviour and incidence outcomes are described in detail in Appendix 3 (characteristics and results of included studies).

Do You Believe More Vaccines or Better Nutrition Prevents Disease?
Conclusion
Tremendous government financial and medical resources are wasted on the development of more vaccinations to prevent diseases. No research has proven the effectiveness of vaccinations in preventing illness. Overwhelming evidence exists to show vaccines are dangerous to health and contribute to illness, injury and death.
To prevent disease, one should avoid vaccinations, mercury dental fillings and toxic food. Following a nutrient-dense diet of whole, organic foods and removing toxic metals from the body are the best avenues to try and prevent illness and enhance health.

Modifiable influences on female HPV vaccine uptake at the clinic encounter level: A literature review
ConclusionsSix influences are modifiable and potentially amenable to being addressed at the clinic encounter level: (a) cost and insurance coverage, (b) provider recommendation, (c) vaccination opportunity, (d) HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge, (e) vaccine safety concerns, and (f) HPV risk.
Implications for practiceNPs have an important role in improving HPV vaccine uptake and research suggests several areas they can address to increase vaccination during clinic visits.
