Beyond members of the Flaviviridae family, sofosbuvir also inhibits chikungunya virus replication.
stro Faria Neto HC, Boechat N, Rehen SK, Brüning K, Bozza FA, Bozza PT, Souza TML Abstract Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes a febrile disease associated with chronic arthralgia, which may progress to neurological impairment. Chikungunya fever (CF) is an ongoing public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, where control of the CHIKV vector, Aedes mosquitos, has failed. As there is no vaccine or specific treatment for CHIKV, patients receive only palliative care to alleviate pain and arthralgia. Thus, drug repurposing is necessary to identify antivirals against CHIKV. CHIKV RNA polymerase...

Drought in the Semiarid Region of Brazil: Exposure, Vulnerabilities and Health Impacts from the Perspectives of Local Actors
Conclusion The results obtained from this research shows, in general, the fragility in the social and political infrastructure necessary to improve the living conditions of populations, particularly those that depend on family agriculture in drought prone areas. The conditions of social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities presented in the region can be amplified by the drought process, and can aggravate the impacts resulting drought events, thus disadvantaging the population of this region, as shown in the Fig. 1. The general perception of the interviewees of the health sector shows an agreement with what is found...

Needle size for vaccination procedures in children and adolescents.
CONCLUSIONS: Using 25 mm needles (either 23 G or 25 G) for intramuscular vaccination procedures in the anterolateral thigh of infants using the WHO injection technique probably reduces the occurrence of local reactions while achieving a comparable immune response to 25 G 16 mm needles. These findings are applicable to healthy infants aged two to six months receiving combination DTwP vaccines with a reactogenic whole-cell pertussis antigen component. These vaccines are predominantly used in low- and middle-income countries. The applicability of the findings to vaccines with acellular pertussis components and other vaccines ...

Effects of breast milk on pain severity during muscular injection of hepatitis B vaccine in neonates in a teaching hospital in Iran.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that breastfeeding decreases pain severity during painful experiences in neonates, which is in accordance with other reports. Based on this finding, neonates are advised to be breastfed if a painful intervention such as vaccination is needed. The pain-relieving effect of breast milk could also be added to its other suitable effects. PMID: 30041885 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Tropical Travel Trouble 009 Humongous HIV Extravaganza
LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog - Emergency medicine and critical care medical education blog aka Tropical Travel Trouble 009 The diagnosis of HIV is no longer fatal and the term AIDS is becoming less frequent. In many countries, people with HIV are living longer than those with diabetes. This post will hopefully teach the basics of a complex disease and demystify some of the potential diseases you need to consider in those who are severely immunosuppressed. While trying to be comprehensive this post can not be exhaustive (as you can imagine any patient with a low ...

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease Associated with Hepatitis B Vaccination.
CONCLUSIONS: VKH disease is an inflammatory condition primarily affecting the choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, and outer retina. The underlying etiology is unclear, but it can be associated with a viral prodrome suggesting an infectious trigger in a genetically susceptible individual. Our case suggests that hepatitis B vaccination may trigger a similar inflammatory response. PMID: 29953303 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Infant cortisol stress-response is associated with thymic function and vaccine response.
This study was performed among 306 (male = 153 and female = 153) participants of a randomized, controlled trial examining the effect of neonatal vitamin A supplementation on immune function in Bangladesh (NCT01583972). Salivary cortisol was measured before and 20 min after a needle stick (vaccination) at 6 weeks of age. The thymic index (TI) was determined by ultrasonography at 1, 6, 10 and 15 weeks. T-cell receptor excision circle and blood T-cell concentrations were measured at 6 and 15 weeks. Responses to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), tetanus toxoid, hepatitis B virus and oral poliovirus vaccination were as...

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Seroconversion After 20 Mg versus 40 mg Intramuscular Hepatitis B Virus Vaccination in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3.
Conclusion: Seroconversion rates of the two groups were not significantly different after completion of HBV vaccination, but only patients in the group receiving the double dose were able to maintain seroconversion 6 months later. The proper hepatitis B vaccination for patients with CKD stage 3 with negative makers of HBV should be immunization with a four-dose regimen using 40 μg of vaccine.

A case of acute hepatitis A infection in an HIV-positive patient despite complete hepatitis A vaccination
ConclusionAlthough the combined hepatitis A and B vaccine is associated with very good seroconversion rates, the effectiveness in HIV-positive patients is not ensured, even in cases with CD4 cell counts of> 500/ μl. Therefore, regular post-vaccine testing should be encouraged to assess seroconversion in immunocompromised subjects.

Vaccinations: More than just kid stuff
Follow me on Twitter @RobShmerling This is the time of year when it’s important to think about flu vaccinations. And there’s good reason for that! The flu causes thousands of preventable hospitalizations and deaths each year. But what about other vaccinations? Do you think of them as something for kids? You aren’t alone. And it’s true, a number of vaccinations are recommended for young children as well as preteens and teenagers. These vaccinations have provided an enormous benefit to public health by preventing diseases that were common and sometimes deadly in the past, including polio, rubella, and whooping cough....
