je vaccine :: Article Creator Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine 87% Effective: ICMR The efficacy ofimmunization vaccination is around 86.7%, according to a new study by the ICMR-National Institute of Virology, Pune, published in the latest issue of the Journal of Medical Virology. The study holds great significance as despite government immunization drives, the disease persists among children in central India. Researchers conducted the study in 2018-2020 in Maharashtra and Telangana to estimate Japanese encephalitis vaccination effectiveness among children in the age group of 1-15 years. The government uses Chinese-made live-attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccines. Japanese encephalitis is the main cause of acute encephalitis syndrome in South Asia, including India. It is spread by Culex mosquitoes, with Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh being the high-burden states. There are 68,000 cases globally per year. In I...

bacterial vaginosis yeast infection :: Article Creator Can A Yeast Infection Cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)? PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs. It's often the result of an untreated sexually transmitted infection (STI). Yeast infections are not considered a contributing factor. "Yeast infections can cause some of the same symptoms but typically do not cause pelvic inflammatory disease," says Michelle Forcier, MD, a gender-affirming clinician with virtual healthcare service FOLX. In the vast majority of cases, PID develops when a bacterial STI is left undetected and, therefore, untreated, says Michael Ingber, MD, urologist and female pelvic medicine specialist at The Center for Specialized Women's Health in New Jersey. However, people who have a yeast infection and a bacterial STI may be more likely to develop PID than people who have a bacterial STI alone, explains Ingber. STIs are...

vaccine 3rd dose :: Article Creator How To Help Patients Navigate A Newly Complex Vaccine Season O'Donnell is an infectious diseases physician and a hospital epidemiologist. In years past, once the calendar moved into September, there were straightforward recommendations across healthcare settings being provided to all adult patients about the benefits of receiving the annual influenza vaccine. Healthcare providers and patients are no longer in such a simple landscape for fall 2023. Along with the already-available influenza vaccines, two recently approved vaccines to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are now available for older individuals, and the new updated COVID-19 boosters are expected to arrive toward the middle or end of September. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has clear guidance on influenza vaccines and those recommendations have not changed -- everyone is recommended to get a flu shot. ACIP ...

preventive care check up :: Article Creator What To Know About Preventive Care Most people think of scheduling an appointment to see a doctor when they are sick, but not everyone realizes how important it is to see a primary care provider (PCP) for preventive care even when you are feeling healthy. A primary care provider could be: a physician (MD or DO), or an advanced practice clinician (APC) who is either a physician assistant (PA) or a nurse practitioner (NP).

the cure for polio :: Article Creator Salk Produces Polio Vaccine Salk produces polio vaccine1952 Poliomyelitis has been around since ancient times. There is still no cure for the disease. But at the peak of its devastation in the United States, Jonas Salk introduced a way to prevent it. This infectious viral disease attacks the nerve cells and sometimes the central nervous system, often causing muscle wasting and paralysis and even death. Since 1900 there had been cycles of epidemics, each seeming to get stronger and more disastrous. The disease, whose early symptoms are like the flu, struck mostly children, although adults, including Franklin Roosevelt, caught it too. As a medical student and later a researcher at the University of Michigan, Salk studied viruses, such as influenza, and ways to vaccinate against them. Successful vaccines already existed for diseases such as smallpox. For each virus, a vaccine must be custom-made, but the princ...

fungal infection :: Article Creator What To Know About Fungal Infections That Affect The Skin Medically reviewed by William Truswell, MD Fungal infections on the skin are common.
