Dutch healthcare professionals' opinion on vaccination and education to prevent infections in immunocompromised patients: A mixed-method study with recommendations for daily practice.
CONCLUSION: According to our respondents, education is the most promising intervention to reduce the number and severity of infections in ICP. To reach a higher vaccine uptake, we recommend HCP to address vaccinations more frequently during consultations and to search for solutions to alleviate barriers to vaccinate.

Evolution of a Search: The Use of Dynamic Twitter Searches During Superstorm Sandy
Conclusion The most important lesson learned from Superstorm Sandy was the need for a dynamic and flexible monitoring process and strategy to understand and respond quickly to health needs in the areas impacted by Superstorm Sandy. Search strategies should change as frequently as the unfolding event. The inability to adapt to a changing situation ensures stale and stagnant terminology and search results. Twitter lists and Boolean searches should be used together to maximize situational awareness. The most important information comes from the impacted population, whether news, local government or local citizens. These are t...

Influenza risk groups in Norway by education and employment status
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that the prevalence of medical risk factors for severe influenza is disproportionally distributed across the socio-economic spectrum in Norway. These results should influence both public funding decisions regarding influenza vaccination and communication strategies towards the public and health professionals.PMID:34930055 | DOI:10.1177/14034948211060635

A133: Initial Benchmarking of the Quality of Medical Care of Children and Adolescents with Lupus
Conclusion:Based on this initial benchmarking effort, the medical care of patients with cSLE at tertiary pediatric rheumatology centers is very good. Systematic planning and documentation of patient education on lifestyle modifications seems warranted and is expected to improve the self‐management skills of cSLE patients. Furthermore, increased focus on bone health, eye exams annually, and adequate vaccination of cSLE patients are areas to continue to monitor.

Locating sex- and gender-specific data in health promotion research: evaluating the sensitivity and precision of published filters.
CONCLUSIONS: Although search filters can facilitate the identification of research evidence to enable decision making, variability in study abstracting and indexing can limit the generalizability and usability of these filters. This potential for variability should be considered when deciding to incorporate a search filter into any literature search. This research highlights the importance of this awareness when developing strategies for searching the published literature and the potential value of supplementing database searching with other methods of study identification.

Medical students' knowledge on vaccinology.
Conclusions: Education plays an important role in shaping the attitudes and responsible behaviour of future physicians. They need to acquire reliable knowledge to persuade their patients as practitioners to use the most effective means of primary prevention of infectious diseases. A change of attitude is needed to stop the route of infection through vaccination, to protect not only their own health but also that of their environment and thus of their patients.

Highlights from the United States Food and Drug Administration's public workshop on the development of animal models of pregnancy to address medical countermeasures in an “at‐risk” population of pregnant women: Influenza as a case study
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other federal agencies partner to ensure that medical countermeasures (e.g., drug therapies and vaccines) are available for public health emergencies (FDA, 2014). Despite continuing progress, providing medical countermeasures and treatment guidelines for certain populations (e.g., pregnant women) is challenging due to the lack of clinical and/or animal data. Thus, a workshop was convened to discuss animal models of pregnancy for the evaluation of disease progression and medical countermeasures.

Is There a Weekly Pattern for Health Searches on Wikipedia and Is the Pattern Unique to Health Topics?
Conclusions: Our study supports prior studies finding an increase in health information searching at the beginning of the workweek. However, we also found a similar pattern for 2 randomly chosen nonhealth-related terms, which may suggest that the search pattern is not unique to health-related searches. The results are potentially relevant beyond the field of health and our preliminary findings need to be further explored in future studies involving a broader range of nonhealth-related searches.

Emergency Considerations in COVID-19 Vaccine Administration
Conclusion The joint response of science and medicine to develop safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines has been brisk and productive. Distribution efforts will now be the next step in limiting the breadth of this pandemic. EMS agencies will play a key role in some areas in the administration of vaccinations for their communities. The authors suggest that to better clarify the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines, EMS systems must maintain a log of the type and incidence of adverse events following vaccine administration, EMS responses to the adverse events, as well as those patients’ outcomes from this management. ...

Improvement in attitudes toward influenza vaccination in medical students following an integrated curricular intervention.
CONCLUSION: Educating medical students and promoting the importance of vaccination early in a medical student's career using such an intervention is relatively simple and easily integrated into the curriculum. This intervention was successful in vaccinating all students, and demonstrated a marked positive shift in attitudes toward influenza vaccination. PMID: 24269620 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Who ’ s Afraid of Needles?
Discussion There are products that are valued highly because of their design and function are elegantly suited for their use. Books would be one example and the hypodermic needle is another. Medical hypodermic needles are used for accessing bodily spaces (e.g. vascular, peritoneal, subarachnoid, dermal, etc.), obtaining specimens (both solid tissue and liquid) and to deliver drugs, biologicals, fluids and other treatments to patients. Medical procedures involving some type of needle are the most common procedures taught to health care providers. A brief history of syringes and hypodermic needles can be found here. A variet...

Health education and factors influencing acceptance of and willingness to pay for influenza vaccination among older adults
This study explored the acceptance of and willingness to pay for influenza vaccination, comparing acceptance and willingness to pay before and after health education. Methods: The study was conducted with 2693 older people in Bangkok, Thailand. Participants were divided into an education group (n = 1402) and a control group (n = 1291). A validated questionnaire measuring acceptance of and willingness to pay for vaccination was administered during semi-structured interviews before and after education. Data on factors influencing acceptance were analyzed. Results: Participants’ mean age was 69.5 years, 80 % were ...

Can Google Searches Predict the Popularity and Harm of Psychoactive Agents?
Conclusions: Our data correlate well with the results from a multicriteria decision analysis of drug harms in the United Kingdom. We showed that Google search data can be a valuable source of information to assess the popularity of and harm caused by psychoactive agents and may help in monitoring drug use trends.
