Journal: Antipsychotic-induced immune dysfunction: A consideration for COVID-19 risk. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 26, 2020 Furthermore, RIS also prevented treated animals from mounting an antibody response following vaccination with Pneumovax23®. These data indicate that short-to intermediate-term exposure to clinically relevant levels of RIS dysregulate innate and adaptive immune responses, which may affect susceptibility to respiratory infections, including COVID-19.

Clinical, Journal: Pneumococcal vaccination coverages by age, sex and specific underlying risk conditions among middle-aged and older adults in Catalonia, Spain, 2017. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 23, 2020 By risk conditions, the highest PPsV23 coverage appeared in congestive heart failure (51,909/63,596; 81.6%), chronic renal disease (122,791/158,726; 77.4%) and chronic bronchitis/emphysema (96,453/132,306; 72.9%). Maximum PCV13 coverage appeared in cirrhosis (294/7,957; 3.7%), chronic renal disease (5,633/158,726; 3.5%) and chronic bronchitis/emphysema (2,859/132,306; 2.2%).ConclusionPneumococcal vaccination coverages in Catalonian adults are suboptimal, especially for PCV13.

Journal: The major allergen Der p 2 is a cholesterol binding protein. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 19, 2020 Three amino acid residues of Der p 2, V104, V106 and V110 are possible cholesterol binding sites, as alanine mutations of these residues showed a significant decrease in binding (p < 0.05) compared to wild-type Der p 2. These results provide the first direct experimental evidence that Der p 2 binds to cholesterol.

[VIRTUAL] Nationwide trends of invasive pneumococcal disease in Spain for the period 2009-2019 () - Aug 14, 2020 - Abstract #IDWeek2020IDWEEK_1734; Immune responses induced by PCV20 persisted at 12 months after vaccination in adults 60–64 years of age, further supporting the potential of PCV20 to expand serotype protection against adult pneumococcal disease. Emerging serotypes are observed in Spain with the rise of serotype 24F in children and 8 in adults as a worrisome event.

[VIRTUAL] Missed Vaccine Opportunities During the COVID-19 Pandemic () - Aug 14, 2020 - Abstract #IDWeek2020IDWEEK_659; Due to prioritization of potential staffing shortages and clustering nursing care, an opportunity to vaccinate patients with pneumococcal and influenza vaccines was missed. It is important for health care providers to be aware of this potential opportunity for vaccination of high-risk patients in order to promote primary prevention in future waves of pandemics.

Journal: Vaccinomics approach for developing multi-epitope peptide pneumococcal vaccine. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 31, 2020 The PPVs such as PPV23 do not stimulate efficient protective immunity in children under 2 years old, while the PCVs such as PCV7, PCV10, and PCV13 that cover 7, 10, and 13 serotypes, respectively, highly protect newborns, but have some disadvantages such as complications in manufacturing, costly production, and also requires refrigeration and multiple injections...The computational studies suggested the designed vaccine as a novel construct, capable to elicit efficient humoral and cellular immunities, which are crucial for protection against S. pneumoniae.

[VIRTUAL] TRIAGE OF PRIMARY HPV TESTING COMBINED WITH SELF-SAMPLING USING HPV 16/18 GENOTYPING AND/OR CYTOLOGY. A SUB-ANALYSIS OF THE GRECOSELF STUDY (ePoster) - Jul 22, 2020 - Abstract #IPVCI2020IPVC-I_894; The optimal trade-off between sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) was presented by the combination of partial genotyping (HPVs 16/18) and cytology (for the non-16/18 hrHPV positive cases), i.e. sensitivity 96.55% [confidence interval (CI): 91.86-100.0%)], and PPV 23.33% (CI: 17.98-28.68). Conclusions For women residing in rural Greece, who were tested positive for hrHPV DNA with the cobas HPV test on self-collected cervicovaginal samples, the optimal triage strategy was HPV 16/18 genotyping combined with cytology for the non-16/18 hrHPV positive cases.

Recent severe pneumococcal serotype-3 disease in the Northern Territory was associated with a phylogenetic cluster frequently detected in IPD since 2013, but infrequently detected in carriage.

Pneumococcal vaccine immunogenicity appearance and duration in renal transplantation is not compatible with guidelines recommendations , immunogenicity decrease after first year dramatically in spite of using newer generation and booster doses ,we are face to questions such as the best time of installation,how can enhance immunogenicity and the best vaccine type that we can use .
