A Pilot Case-Cohort Study of Brain Cancer in Poultry and Control Workers.
Abstract
We conducted an exploratory study to investigate which exposures (including poultry oncogenic viruses) are associated with brain cancer in poultry workers. A total of 46,819 workers in poultry and nonpoultry plants from the same union were initially followed for mortality. Brain cancer was observed to be in excess among poultry workers. Here we report on a pilot case-cohort study with cases consisting of 26 (55%) of the 47 brain cancer deaths recorded in the cohort, and controls consisting of a random sample of the cohort (n = 124). Exposure information was obtained from telephone interviews, and brain ca...

Reminding people about vaccinations can increase rates of immunization
Anupdated Cochrane Review, published in the Cochrane Library today, suggests that reminding people when their vaccinations are due or overdue increases the number of people being immunized.Rates of immunization against infectious diseases in children and adults are improving, but under-vaccination remains a problem that results in vaccine-preventable deaths and illnesses. In Europe, 11,316 cases of measles were reported during 2012, and an estimated four to 50 million symptomatic cases of flu occur each year.Reminders can be sent to patients, parents or guardians, or whole populations when vaccines are due, either because ...

“One of the greatest medical success stories:” Physicians and nurses’ small stories about vaccine knowledge and anxieties
Publication date: Available online 20 November 2017 Source:Social Science & Medicine Author(s): Terra Manca In recent years, the Canadian province of Alberta experienced outbreaks of measles, mumps, pertussis, and influenza. Even so, the dominant cultural narrative maintains that vaccines are safe, effective, and necessary to maintain population health. Many vaccine supporters have expressed anxieties that stories that contradict this narrative have lowered herd immunity levels because they frighten the public into avoiding vaccination. As such, vaccine policies often emphasize educating parents and the public abo...

Rapidly Progressive Dementia and Myoclonus with Elevated CSF IgG Index in Young Adult Immigrants: Treatable, but Not Always with Immunosuppression (I4-2A)
CONCLUSIONS: Young adults with RPD, myoclonus, and elevated CSF IgG index may have SSPE. Upbringing in areas in which measles eradication had not yet been achieved can be an important diagnostic clue. EEG and measles antibodies in serum and CSF are useful, readily available diagnostic studies. Reports of accelerated disease course associated with steroids, pregnancy, and HIV/AIDS in patients with SSPE support the hypothesis that empiric immunosuppression could have worsened the outcome in these two patients.Disclosure: Dr. Jay has nothing to disclose. Dr. Zimmermann has nothing to disclose. Dr. DaSilva has nothing to disclose.

Vaccination and Induction of Autoimmune Diseases.
Abstract
Vaccines have been suspected of playing a role in inducing autoimmune disease (AID) for a long time. However, apart from certain specific vaccine strains and complications (such as the swine flu vaccine and Guillain- Barré syndrome in 1976, thrombocytopenia and the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine), this role has not been established. In spite of this, many isolated cases or series of cases of arthritis, vasculitis, and central or peripheral nervous system symptoms following vaccination have been reported. These cases tend to be very infrequent and usually only the short-term outcomes are described. This pa...

South Africa: Measles and Whooping Cough Outbreaks in South Africa - a Sign of Low Vaccination Coverage, Experts Warn
[The Conversation Africa] The concentrated global effort to use vaccination as a public health intervention began in 1974. Since then, vaccination has changed our lives. Worldwide, in the decades 2000-2020, childhood vaccination led to the reduction of deaths in children under 5 by 50% to 5.4 million deaths per year. Vaccination currently averts more than 5 million deaths each year worldwide. These are deaths that would have been caused by measles, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, diphtheria, pneumonia, rotavirus diarrhoea, and othe
