The move comes just days before a widely anticipated GAVI board meeting that will address, in part, plans to raise $3.7 billion in needed funds. The price cuts are being offered by Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson’s Crucell unit, Sanofi Pasteur’s Shantha Biotechnics, Bharat Biotech and the Serum Institute, and should help GAVI reduce the funding gap for commitments that run until 2015. The effort involves vaccines to combat rotavirus and HPV, as well as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae...

The four children were reported to have fainted soon after they were vaccinated and witnesses reported seeing the children’s eyes roll back as they began to have seizures. All of the children were under the age of two years of age, with the youngest being just six months. Sadly the children died before medical aid workers could reach them. As news of the deaths spread, immunization drives in 41 villages have been halted until further investigations have taken place. // The Indian Express stated in their article “4 children die within minutes of vaccination” that- “The immunisation programm... vactruth.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3946469 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:42:10 +0100 3946469 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=566345&cid=t_104675_87_f&fid=34882&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbreathspakids.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F04%2Fpaediatric-grand-rounds-year-in-review.html A year ago, the noted sceptic and neonatologist Dr. Clark Bartram posted the first Paediatric Grand Rounds (PGR). Since then, PGR has grown steadily and is promising to be a lively and thriving creature. As befits the founder of PGR, Dr. Bartram took on the responsibility of reviewing all of the previous editions and putting together his personal selection of the best in PGR: A Year in Review.It is an interesting compilation. It is difficult to know where to stop but I would, however, have included Dr. Flea's series of posts on childhood vaccinations as one of the highlights of the paediatric blogosphere last year.A Very Great Fright (smallpox vaccination)On My Left Shoulder (smallpox vaccination)The Can From Hell (polio vaccination)Go Home and Die (Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccinatio...

If the experiment involves a new use for these beads, am I developing nanotechnology? More generally, is all molecular biology nanotechnology?Anyway, what am I going to do with these beads? I want to find out whether the USS polarizes the direction of DNA uptake. That is, when the USS sequence interacts with the DNA uptake machinery on the cell surface, does only the DNA on one side of the canonical orientation get pulled into the cell, at least until the end has been brought in?My latest model of the mechanism of uptake initiation predicts that at the initiation step a type 4 pseudopilus pulls in the DNA on the right side of the USS core, while the core is bound tightly to a receptor protein on the surface (t...

We fixed up the Methods section and almost all of the Introduction, and walked ourselves through the Results. Maybe because we hadn't looked at them for a couple of weeks, we had some new ideas.We had been commenting on how the USSs in coding sequences show significantly different USS motifs, depending on which reading frame they're in. But now we look again, we realize that the real story isn't how they are different, but how similar they are. Despite coding for entirely different amino acids, they all have strong matches to the canonical USS core and flanking segments. The differences are so small that they might even be attributable to random effects due to small sample sizes.This might mean that needing to ...
