Personalized Kampo Medicine Facilitated Both Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Response and Clinical Benefits Induced by Personalized Peptide Vaccination for Advanced Esophageal Cancer.
Authors: Muroya D, Yutani S, Shichijo S, Yamada A, Sakamoto S, Naito M, Okuda K, Morita M, Yamaguchi R, Itoh K Abstract We retrospectively evaluated if personalized Kampo medicine (PKM) could facilitate CTL responses and clinical benefits induced by personalized peptide vaccination (PPV), in which HLA-matched vaccines were selected and administered based on the preexisting host immunity, for advanced esophageal cancer (aEC) patients. Among 34 aEC patients entered in the clinical study, 23 patients received PKM and PPV without (n = 12) or with chemotherapy (n = 11), while the remaining 11 patients did not receive PK...

JAMA Internal Medicine —Providing Compelling, Credible, Timely, and Essential Evidence
We live in a time of breathtaking advances in biomedicine. During my lifetime, scientific breakthroughs have made previously fatal or debilitating diseases treatable with revolutionary new drugs or molecularly targeted approaches for AIDS, hepatitis, cancer, and many other conditions across the full spectrum of internal medicine. Medical discovery has also helped set the stage for the highly accelerated development of the COVID-19 vaccine —one of the greatest scientific achievements in history. In stark juxtaposition to these advances, we are facing unprecedented challenges and stressors to our health care systems. Misin...

Adolescent Consent for Vaccination: A Position Paper of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine
Abstract: Vaccines currently recommended for adolescents by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices have the potential to improve the health of youth by preventing conditions such as: tetanus, pertussis, meningococcal disease, influenza, and genital warts, as well as later adult outcomes such as cervical and other human papillomavirus–related cancers. Adolescent vaccine coverage lags behind that for younger age groups. A requirement to obtain parental consent for vaccination can present a significant barrier to improving adolescent vaccine uptake across all health care settings in which adolescents access care. ...

Researchers Find Way For Chickens To Lay Eggs Filled With Cancer-Killing Drugs
BOSTON (CBS) – Researchers in Scotland say they have found a way to have chickens lay eggs filled with medicine. It’s a method that could make some drugs much more affordable. Scientists at The University of Edinburgh have genetically modified the birds to produce human proteins in their eggs that boost the immune system. Now, the chickens are laying eggs containing cancer-killing drugs. Researchers in Scotland have genetically modified chickens to produce human proteins in their eggs (WBZ-TV) “In the past, making these transgenic animals has been very inefficient very expensive and difficult,” says Professor Helen...

7 Surprising Things About The Affordable Care Act
This article covers seven surprising things you need to know about this brave new world of required health insurance coverage. 1. Most People Won’t Pay a Penalty The new law does require most people to carry health insurance or pay a penalty when they file their taxes.
