Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is still an important issue worldwide. A distinct set of viruses encode proteins that enhance viral cap-independent translation initiation driven by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and suppress cap-dependent host translation. Unlike cytolytic picornaviruses, replication of HAV does not cause host cell shut off, and it has been questioned whether HAV proteins interfere with its own and/or host translation. HAV proteins were coexpressed in Huh-7 cells with reporter genes whose translation was initiated by either cap-dependent or cap-independent mechanisms. Among the proteins ...

Uptake of meningococcal conjugate vaccine among adolescents in large managed care organizations, United States, 2005: Demand, supply and seasonality.Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Background:
In February 2005, the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended the new meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) for routine use among 11- to 12-year-olds (at the preadolescent health-care visit), 14- to 15-year-olds (before high-school entry), and groups at increased risk. Vaccine distribution started in March; however, in July, the manufacturer reported inability to meet demand and widespread MCV4 shortages were reported. Our objectives were to determine early uptake patterns among target (11-12 and 14-15 year olds) and non-target (13- plus 16-year-olds) age groups. A post hoc analysis was con...

Carlos Chagas was born on 9 July 1878 in the farm "Bon Retiro" located close to the City of Oliveira in the interior of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. He started his medical studies in 1897 at the School of Medicine of Rio de Janeiro. In the late XIX century, the works by Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch induced a change in the medical paradigm with emphasis in experimental demonstrations of the causal link between microbes and disease. During the same years in Germany appeared the pathological concept of disease, linking organic lesions with symptoms. All these innovations were adopted by the reforms of the medical s...
