The 2014 FIFA World Cup: Communicable disease risks and advice for visitors to Brazil – A review from the Latin American Society for Travel Medicine (SLAMVI)
Summary: The next FIFA World Cup will be held in Brazil in June–July 2014. Around 600,000 international visitors and participants (as well over 3 million domestic travelers) are expected. This event will take place in twelve cities. This event poses specific challenges, given its size and the diversity of attendees, including the potential for the transmission of imported or endemic communicable diseases, especially those that have an increased transmission rate as a result of close human proximity, eg, seasonal influenza, measles but also tropical endemic diseases. In anticipation of increased travel, a panel of experts...

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...

Vaccination in Elite Athletes
Abstract Public health vaccination guidelines cannot be easily transferred to elite athletes. An enhanced benefit from preventing even mild diseases is obvious but stronger interference from otherwise minor side effects has to be considered as well. Thus, special vaccination guidelines for adult elite athletes are required. In most of them, protection should be strived for against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, influenza, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, measles, mumps and varicella. When living or traveling to endemic areas, the athletes should be immune against tick-borne encephalitis, yellow fever, Japanese encephal...

Hepatitis B in rugby: is it time to revisit policy?
We report a professional rugby player, incidentally found to have chronic HBV infection. Born before 1995, his HBV acquisition was likely in childhood before age 5, in keeping with HBV epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa. He used no alcohol, illicit substances or performance enhancing drugs. Table 1 lists his workup identifying the immune clearance/active phase of chronic...

Viruses, Vol. 12, Pages 998: Advanced Therapeutics, Vaccinations, and Precision Medicine in the Treatment and Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Viral Infections; Where Are We and Where Are We Going?
w D. Miller The management of chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection is an area of massive unmet clinical need worldwide. In spite of the development of powerful nucleoside/nucleotide analogue (NUC) drugs, and the widespread use of immune stimulators such as interferon-alpha (IFNα) or PEGylated interferon-alpha (PEG-IFNα), substantial improvements in CHB standards of care are still required. We believe that the future for CHB treatment now rests with advanced therapeutics, vaccination, and precision medicine, if all are to bring under control this most resilient of virus infections. In sp...

3 Win Nobel Medicine Prize for Discovering Hepatitis C Virus
(STOCKHOLM) — Americans Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice and British-born scientist Michael Houghton won the Nobel Prize for medicine on Monday for their discovery of the hepatitis C virus, a major source of liver disease that affects millions worldwide. Announcing the prize in Stockholm, the Nobel Committee noted that the trio’s work identified a major source of blood-borne hepatitis that couldn’t be explained by the previously discovered hepatitis A and B viruses. Their work, dating back to the 1970s and 1980s, has helped saved millions of lives, the committee said. “Thanks to their discovery, ...

Egypt’s Poor Easy Victims of Quack Medicine
Many pharmacies and herbalists in Egypt prescribe their own 'wasfa' (secret drug or herbal elixir). Credit: Cam McGrath/IPSBy Cam McGrathCAIRO, Aug 10 2014 (IPS) Magda Ibrahim first learnt that she had endometrial cancer when she went to a clinic to diagnose recurring bladder pain and an abnormal menstrual discharge. Unable to afford the recommended hospital treatment, the uninsured 53-year-old widow turned to what she hoped would be a quicker and cheaper therapy. A local Muslim sheikh claimed religious incantations, and a suitable donation to his pocket, could cure the cancer. But when her symptoms persisted, Ibrahim cons...

Preparing Children for International Travel: Need for Training and Pediatric‐Focused Research
ConclusionsMembers of the PedIG have diverse professional and practice backgrounds. Lack of awareness of established guidelines may place international pediatric travelers at risk for travel‐associated morbidity. Strategies are needed to facilitate education and support research in pediatric travel medicine to formulate evidence‐based guidelines wherever they are currently missing.

Travel medicine consultation: An opportunity to improve coverage for routine vaccinations.
CONCLUSION: Obtaining information about immunization in travelers is difficult. Coverage for routine vaccines should be improved in this population. Travel medicine consultations could be the opportunity to vaccinate against MMR, HBV, and Td/IPV. PMID: 30583868 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Medical Student-Driven "Vaccine Blitz" at a School-Based Health Center as an Effective Way to Improve Adolescent Vaccination Rates.
CONCLUSIONS: Medical student-driven vaccine blitzes within an SBHC are a feasible, replicable, and effective way to increase adolescent vaccination rates. In addition, the blitz provided preclinical medical students' exposure to underserved populations, adolescent health as part of the breadth of family medicine, SBHCs, and community medicine and allowed for multidisciplinary work between medical students, public health students, physicians, and nurse practitioners.
