Fc functional antibody responses to adjuvanted versus unadjuvanted seasonal influenza vaccination in community-dwelling older adults.
Seasonal influenza vaccination with a standard trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) induces a modest, and cross-reactive, Fc functional antibody response in older adults. Recent improvements to...
An assessment of parents' childhood immunization beliefs, intentions, and behaviors using a smartphone panel.
It is important to quickly identify parent beliefs, intentions, and behaviors toward childhood vaccination, especially parents of children 19 to 35 months. This paper describes parental imm...
The number and gender of children synergistically impact on a mother's practice of human papillomavirus testing and attitudes towards vaccination in Shenzhen, China.
It has been reported that the number of children a mother has may impact on her concept of health and behavior, and there is a need to understand the role of children in the acceptability of...
Enhanced influenza vaccination among healthcare personnel prevents cases despite community burden.
Influenza vaccination for healthcare personnel is not obligatory in Mexico, and compliance relies on promotion and persuasion. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of infl...
Serologic characteristics of hepatitis B virus among hill-tribe children in Omkoi district, Chiangmai province, Thailand.
Thailand has integrated hepatitis B (HB) vaccination of newborns into the national Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in 1992. This has led to a dramatic decrease of HBsAg prevalence in ...
The mask of autism: Social camouflaging and impression management as coping/normalization from the perspectives of autistic adults.
Autism entails impression management, including social camouflaging, under conditions of conflict and stigma, with reduced ability to perform such social interaction as well as an increased ...
Degradation of pharmaceutical mixtures in aqueous solutions using UV/peracetic acid process: Kinetics, degradation pathways and comparison with UV/HO.
This paper presents an evaluation of UV/PAA process for degradation of four pharmaceuticals venlafaxine (VEN), sulfamethoxazole (SFX), fluoxetine (FLU) and carbamazepine (CBZ) with compariso...
Prophylactic dendritic cell vaccination controls pancreatic cancer growth in a mouse model.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths with high recurrence after surgery due to a paucity of effective post-surgical adjuvant treatment...
Serum-free production of rVSV-ZEBOV in Vero cells: microcarrier bioreactor versus scale-X™ hydro fixed-bed.
Ebola virus disease outbreaks have repeatedly occurred on the African continent over the last decades, with more serious outbreaks in recent years. Being highly transmissible and associated ...
Primary immunodeficiency diseases and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-vaccine-derived complications: a systematic review.
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is a live attenuated bacterial vaccine derived from Mycobacterium bovis, which is mostly administered to neonates in regions where tuberculosis (TB) i...
Impact of HPV vaccination and cervical screening on cervical cancer elimination
The WHO Director-General has issued a call for action to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem. To help inform global efforts, we modelled potential human papillomavirus (HPV)...
Comparative analysis of two HIV-1 multiepitope polypeptides for stimulation of immune responses in BALB/c mice.
A licensed vaccine against human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection has not become available up to now. Hence, it is more rational to use immune-informatics tools for prediction of T...
Delayed Auditory Evoked Responses in Autism Spectrum Disorder across the Life Span.
The M50 and M100 auditory evoked responses reflect early auditory processes in the primary/secondary auditory cortex. Although previous M50 and M100 studies have been conducted on individual...
Inhibition of Autism-Related Crm1 Disrupts Mitosis and Induces Apoptosis of the Cortical Neural Progenitors.
De novo microdeletion of chromosome 2p15-16.1 presents clinically recognizable phenotypes that include mental retardation, autism, and microcephaly. Chromosomal maintenance 1 (CRM1) is a gen...
Cell-Type-Specific Analysis of Molecular Pathology in Autism Identifies Common Genes and Pathways Affected Across Neocortical Regions.
Despite its heterogeneity, autism is characterized by a defined behavioral phenotype, suggesting that the molecular pathology affects specific neural substrates to cause behavioral dysfuncti...
Co-occurring obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder in young people: prevalence, clinical characteristics and outcomes.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) commonly co-occur and are considered challenging to manage when they co-occur in youth. However, clinical characterist...
Unmet Needs of Children with Peanut Allergy
Peanut allergy is a potentially severe and lifelong allergy, with few effective treatments or preventative measures. To convene an expert panel of allergists, pediatricians, and advocates t...
Landscapes of binding antibody and T-cell responses to pox-protein HIV vaccines in Thais and South Africans.
HIV vaccine trials routinely measure multiple vaccine-elicited immune responses to compare regimens and study their potential associations with protection. Here we employ unsupervised learni...
