Dynamic trends of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) including the evolution prevalent serotypes are very useful to evaluate impact current and future conjugate vaccines (PCVs) rise non-vaccine serotypes. In this study, we include epidemiological patterns S. pneumoniae before after COVID-19 pandemic.
a b s t r c tRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is major cause of respiratory tract infections in adults, particularly older adults and those with underlying medical conditions.Vaccination has emerged as potential key strategy to prevent RSV-related morbidity mortality.This Neumoexperts Prevention (NEP) Group scientific paper aims provide an evidence-based positioning RSV vaccination recommendations for adult patients.We review the current literature on burden vaccine development...
Maternal health is one of the major worldwide challenges. Currently, unacceptably high levels maternal mortality are a common subject in global and development discussions. Although some countries have made remarkable progress, half deaths world still take place Sub-Saharan Africa where little or no progress has been made. There single simple, straightforward intervention that will significantly decrease alone; however, there consensus on importance strong system, skilled delivery...

To examine trends in nontraumatic lower-extremity amputations (LEAs) over an 8-year period patients with and without diabetes Spain.We identified all who underwent LEA using national hospital discharge data. Discharges were grouped by status: type 1 diabetes, 2 no diabetes. The incidence of discharges attributed to calculated overall stratified status year. We length stay in-hospital fatality LEA.From 2001 2008, 46,536 minor LEAs 43,528 major performed. In the decreased significantly from...
