https://lnkd.in/gHYap-sR      Article title: COVID-19, nursing publication and the future of nursing research infection   Author(s): Salam Banihani*   Journal: Journal of Vaccines and Immunology   Journal ISSN: 2640-7590   Abstract: Despite the advance in health sciences, the more frequent emerging of infectious diseases in recent decades raise due to environmental changes such as human activity, poor health care system, microbial adaptation, and substantial international movement [1]. This virus has a high mutation ratio with a substantial spread among the population through droplets, airborne, and contact as modes of transmission [2]. Generally, the Coronavirus affected our way of life and specifically the way of carrying out the research. It has significantly affected clinical research trials. Translational research that has the main role in moving the scientific findings into practice health care provision [3] must take place in improving the collaboration between research centers and hospitals where patients were recruited and finding ways to bridge the gap in funding projects. During the outbreak, many innovative technologies emerged such as virtual meetings in the health care systems and telehealth including telenursing technology which is considered as a cornerstone of health care in recent decades [4]. It is crucial to take the benefits of this technology in the research field, and cooperate at the national and international level to advance research in all aspects including efficacy, recruitment of participants, results, and dissemination of findings [5].   #COVID-19 #Nursing #Infection #ImmunologyMechanisms #AnimalModelsForImmunologicDiseases #ViralImmunology #Peertechz #Immunopathogenesis #VaccineDevelopmentAndEfficacyEvaluation #ImmuneResponsesToVaccines #VaccineTechnology #VaccineVectors #AdjuvantsAndImmunomodulators #ProphylacticVaccines #TherapeuticVaccines #AIDSVaccines #GeneVaccines #VaccinesInBioterrorism #RegulatoryAffairs #CommercialUtilization #Policy #Safety #Epidemiology #AntigenProcessingAndPresentation #DesignProductionAndDevelopmentOfVaccines #VaccineVectors #CellularAndMolecularImmuneResponses #BreakthroughsInImmunotherapeutics #VaccineSafety #PeertechzPublications #EfficacyAndClinicalTrials #ImmunityToInfection #Immunomodulation #CaseReports #ClassicalImmunology #ClinicalImmunology #ComputationalImmunology #DiagnosticImmunology #EvolutionaryImmunology #Immunotherapy #SystemsImmunology #CancerImmunology #TesticularImmunology

Ensuring that our children are protected from diseases is a critical reason why trust in vaccines is so important. I had the opportunity to gain a better understanding of vaccine trust by taking a course provided by the International Pediatric Association.   This course modules covers a wide range of topics, including infodemiology, the behavioral science behind vaccine acceptance interventions, interpersonal communication, social media engagement, dealing with vocal vaccine deniers, interacting with the media, and building vaccine value through advocacy and messaging to effect change.   Sounds interesting? You should try it !!

https://lnkd.in/gxjTKK-W   Article title: Prestigious Journals, Predatory Publishers and the Tall Poppy Syndrome in Medicine   Author(s): Douglas E Garland*   Journal: Journal of Vaccines and Immunology   Journal ISSN: 2640-7590   Abstract: Fringe medicine (euphemistically called alternative), their articles (sometimes called throw aways) and products (supplements) have peacefully but uncomfortably coexisted with traditional medicine. The advent of the internet and the spread of misinformation have made traditional medicine evaluate its approach on all medical information. Traditional or prestigious journals, not without their own failings, are now in competition with the internet which includes open access e-journals, which have given rise to predatory publishers, as well as medical misinformation. Doctors must determine which articles are trustworthy. A new hybrid article may emerge.   #PrestigiousJournals #OpenAccessJournals #PredatoryPublishers #TallPoppySyndrome #MedicalMisinformation #ImmunologyMechanisms #AnimalModelsForImmunologicDiseases #ViralImmunology #Peertechz #Immunopathogenesis #VaccineDevelopmentAndEfficacyEvaluation #ImmuneResponsesToVaccines #VaccineTechnology #VaccineVectors #AdjuvantsAndImmunomodulators #ProphylacticVaccines #TherapeuticVaccines #AIDSVaccines #GeneVaccines #VaccinesInBioterrorism #RegulatoryAffairs #CommercialUtilization #Policy #Safety #Epidemiology #AntigenProcessingAndPresentation #DesignProductionAndDevelopmentOfVaccines #VaccineVectors #CellularAndMolecularImmuneResponses #BreakthroughsInImmunotherapeutics #VaccineSafety #PeertechzPublications #EfficacyAndClinicalTrials #ImmunityToInfection #Immunomodulation #CaseReports #ClassicalImmunology #ClinicalImmunology #ComputationalImmunology #DiagnosticImmunology #EvolutionaryImmunology #Immunotherapy #SystemsImmunology #CancerImmunology #TesticularImmunology

Misinformation about immunology and the immune system is rampant. The immune system is one of the most complex organ systems in the body and it impacts and is affected by nearly everything. As a result, it becomes an easy target for wellness influencers, biohacking bros, and other propagators of misinformation to spread false claims about it. Buzzwords tangentially related to immunology abound, and with them come the array of “hacks” being sold to correct your immune system. The reality is the immune system is pretty good at regulating itself. It doesn’t need interference, especially things that have no evidence to support it. On Huberman’s “cold and flu” podcast episode (which I debunked very thoroughly), he made a lot of egregiously false claims about immunology: related to infectious disease, vaccines, exercise, and his wellness hacks. Sorry brah, marathon running does not cause severe immune suppression. Huberman makes really reckless and alarmist statements claiming T cells, NK cells, and other components of the immune system have “huge reductions” after running a marathon or training for a marathon. Anything that puts your body under intense stress can temporarily dampen certain immune processes. This isn’t ‘severe immune compromise”, this is a regulatory process, and immune system function rebounds shortly thereafter (within 3 to 72 hours). But his entire thesis on exercise and immunology was false. That’s because he doesn’t have knowledge about immunology, yet pretends to be an expert. And he is not the only one guilty of this.

https://lnkd.in/gg--3qeE   Article title: Addressing the treatment of macrophage activation syndrome: A challenging balance between immune suppression and infectious risk   Author(s): Vassia V, Iannaccone A, Marengo S, Briozzo A, Brussino A, Alessi L, Brussino L and Norbiato C*   Journal: Global Journal of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Research   Journal ISSN: 2455-5363   Abstract: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and potentially life-threatening syndrome related to a dysregulation of cytolytic function of Natural Killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T cells (CTLs), which in turns leads to an inappropriate immune stimulation and hyperinflammatory state, resulting in hypercytokinemia, accumulation of activated lymphocytes and macrophages [1,2].   HLH can be primary or secondary. Primary HLH is related to genetic defects leading to abnormal lymphocyte cytotoxicity and is usually diagnosed in children and infants; secondary HLH mainly affects adults, and is related to infections (i.e., Epstein-Barr virus), malignancies (especially haematologic), primary immunodeficiencies and autoimmune diseases. #Macrophageactivationsyndrome   #BacterialInfections #CrossInfection #EyeInfections #FungalInfections #FocalInfection #InfectiousGingivitis #IntraAbdominalInfections #LaboratoryInfection #LudwigsAngina #NecrotizingUlcerative #OpportunisticInfections #ParasiticInfections #PelvicInfection #PregnancyComplications #ProsthesisRelatedInfections #ReproductiveTractInfections #RespiratoryTractInfections #Sepsis #SexuallyTransmittedDiseases #SkinDiseases #SoftTissueInfections #Suppuration #Toxemia #UrinaryTractInfections #WoundInfection #Pandemics #Epidemics #EmergingDiseases #ClinicalVirology #ClinicalMycology #ClinicalBacteriology #ZoonoticInfections #AirborneDisease #MedicalBioinformatics #BiologicalContamination #BloodBorneDisease #Coinfection #CopenhagenConsensus #DiseaseDiffusionMapping #InfectiousDiseaseDynamics #InfectiousDiseaseEradication #InfectiousDisease20thCentury #OrganSystemDiseases #Pathology #NeglectedDiseases #NosocomialInfection #SpatiotemporalEpidemiologicalModeler #ThresholdHostDensity #TropicalDisease #WaterborneDiseases #FoodborneIllness #GlobalizationAndDisease #HumanMicrobiomeProject #InfectionControl #ViralInfections #SurveillanceAndTreatment #DiseaseProphylaxis #InfectiousDiseaseTherapy #InfectionEpidemiology #PathogenicViruses #PathogenicBacteria #Fungi #Protozoa #MulticellularParasites #AberrantProteins
