The recommended lifetime immunization schedule from the board of vaccination calendar for life in Italy: A continuing example of impact on public health policies.
Abstract The Vaccination Calendar for Life is an alliance of scientific and professional societies of public health physicians, paediatricians and general practitioners in Italy which provides a periodical update on the ideal, scientifically driven vaccination calendar throughout lifetime. Since 2012, the Lifetime Immunization Schedule has represented a benchmark for Regional and National Authorities to set up the updated list of vaccines provided actively and free of charge to infants, children, adolescents, adults and the elderly by inclusion in the Triennial National Vaccination Plan (TNVP), and in the Essentia...

What are Some of the Complications of Short Bowel Syndrome?
Discussion Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal emergencies in neonates. Mortality rates are from 0-45% depending on infant weight and gestation with more premature and smaller infants having greater mortality. NEC usually occurs in premature infants but it also occurs in term infants. The etiology is unknown but is probably multifactorial with ischemia and/or reperfusion playing some role. There are ‘outbreaks’ of NEC but no causative organism has been identified. Regardless of the originating cause, inflammation of the intestine and release of inflammatory mediators causes variou...

Community-Centered Education Improves Vaccination Rates in Children From Low-Income Households
CONCLUSIONS: Immunization rates in poor children are suboptimal. Partnering with community-based organizations to address parental concerns, provide education, and perform follow-up was effective in improving immunization rates, particularly for influenza vaccine.

Experts with links to drugs industry 'hyped swine flu'
Conclusion This was a well-conducted study, albeit based on a small sample of articles. The finding that academics with ties to the drugs industry were more likely to make a higher assessment of risk from swine flu, and those promoting the use of antiviral drugs were more likely to have industry links, is worrying. The general issue of academics with undisclosed links to the pharmaceutical industry being interviewed by journalists is of concern. That said, the study does not prove that media coverage either fuelled public anxiety about swine flu or the policy decisions made about drug or vaccine funding. Similarly, the...

Flusurvey
The U.K.’s Flusurvey is an online system for measuring influenza trends in the U.K. In contrast to traditional surveillance methods, Flusurvey collects data directly from the general public, rather than via hospitals or physicians. This is particularly important because many people with flu don't visit a doctor so don't feature in traditional flu surveillance. Participation is entirely voluntary, and information is collected for research purposes only. [More]

Determinants of Follow-Up Participation in the Internet-Based European Influenza Surveillance Platform Influenzanet
Conclusions: Given the opportunistic enrollment of self-selected volunteers in the Influenzanet study, we have investigated how sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics may be associated with follow-up participation in the Influenzanet cohort. The study described in this paper shows that, overall, the most important determinants of participation are related to education and lifestyle: smoking, lower education level, younger age, people living with children, and people who have not been vaccinated against seasonal influenza tend to have a lower participation in follow-up. Despite the cross-country variation, the main...

Factors associated with emergency department visits in asthma exacerbation.
CONCLUSIONS: Markers of severe disease were associated with ED visits, as well as a lack of an influenza vaccination and failure to prescribe either ICS or short-acting β-agonists. PMID: 25972214 [PubMed - in process]

Using combinatorial bioinformatics methods to analyze annual perspective changes of influenza viruses and to accelerate development of effective vaccines
This study identified the changes in biological sequences and associated alignment alterations, which would ultimately affect epitope structures, as well as the plausible hidden features to search for the most conserved and effective epitopes for vaccine development. Addition our newly designed systemic analysis method to supplement the WHO guidelines could accelerate the development of urgently needed vaccines that might concurrently combat several strains of viruses within a shorter period.

Influenza follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall
Introduction Influenza develops rapidly with a high fever accompanying chills and malaise. Respiratory symptoms such as nasal discharge, cough and sore throat, gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea, headache, joint pain, muscle pain, etc., frequently accompany it, but they are non-specific symptoms. On the other hand, influenza follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall are very characteristic physical findings for the seasonal influenza diagnosis.1 Sakuma’s well-known paediatric pharynx findings textbook in Japan2 notes influenza follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall. However, the textbook is...

Implementation of seasonal influenza and human papillomavirus vaccination recommendations in gynecological practices in Germany.
Abstract In Germany, seasonal influenza vaccination has been recommended for pregnant women since 2010 and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for girls since 2007. Gynecologists play an important role in the communication and vaccination of these two target groups. Moreover, seasonal influenza vaccination is also recommended for healthcare workers, as well as adults aged ≥ 60 years and individuals with underlying chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to gain first insights into the acceptance and implementation of the seasonal influenza und HPV vaccination recommendations in gynecological practices. ...

Methods Using Social Media and Search Queries to Predict Infectious Disease Outbreaks.
Conclusions: This prediction method could be the core engine for implementing a (near-) real-time digital surveillance system. A digital surveillance system that uses Internet resources has enormous potential to monitor disease outbreaks in the early phase. PMID: 29181246 [PubMed]

What Areas of the Physical Examination are Important in the Pre-participation Physical Examination?
Discussion Participation in organized or non-organized, recreational to elite sports activities can provide excellent recreational and leisure time activities and improve physical and mental health for participants. The Aspen Institute in 2018 reported that more kids are being physically active, more are trying different sports, and multisports play is increasing rather than strict specialization. Unfortunately they note that there is an economic inequality with children from lower-socioeconomic circumstances playing less organized sports. About 70% of children and youth participate in an individual or team sport, but unfo...

Psychiatrists May Play Important Role in Facilitating Uptake of COVID-19 Vaccine by Patients With SMI
People with serious mental illness (SMI) should be among the high-priority groups to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, wrote Nicola Warren, M.B.B.S., of the University of Queensland, Australia, and colleagues in aneditorial inJAMA Psychiatry.In the article —appearing just days after health care workers in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States began receiving the first COVID-19 vaccines—the authors outline obstacles to immunization confronting people with SMI and strategies for overcoming them.“Mental health clinicians have a key role in advocating for priority access to a COVID-19 vaccination for those with S...
