How effective is the monkeypox vaccine? Scientists scramble for clues as trials ramp up
When mo nkeypox suddenly started spreading globally in May, the world was fortunate in one respect: a vaccine was available. MVA, originally developed by Bavarian Nordic as a smallpox vaccine, was already licensed for monkeypox in Canada and the United States. EU regulators have since followed suit. Vaccine supplies are limited, and no doses have been shared with countries in Africa that have long been affected by monkeypox.

Use of a penicillin allergy clinical decision rule to enable direct oral penicillin provocation: an international multicentre randomised control trial in an adult population (PALACE): study protocol
Introduction Penicillin allergies are highly prevalent in the healthcare setting and associated with the prescription of second-line inferior antibiotics. More than 85% of all penicillin allergy labels can be removed by skin testing and 96%–99% of low-risk penicillin allergy labels can be removed by direct oral challenge. An internally and externally validated clinical assessment tool for penicillin allergy, PEN-FAST, can identify a low-risk penicillin allergy without the need for skin testing; a score of less than 3 has a negative predictive value of 96.3% (95% CI, 94.1 to 97.8) for the presence of a penicillin alle...

Lessons from the IMPAACT of coronavirus disease 2019 public health restrictions on food allergy-associated anxiety
Generalized anxiety disorder is among the most common mental health disorder and for which an instrument, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7), has been available to assess this condition for nearly 2 decades.1 During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, symptoms associated with generalized anxiety disorder have broadly increased, albeit with a disproportionately higher risk among mothers, parents aged 18 to 44 years, those with household incomes less than $100,000 Canadian, or those with certain preexisting mental health conditions, including anxiety.
