Vaccination for girls and women across the life course: Evidence‐based recommendations for clinical practice and policy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Vaccination across the life course is a cornerstone of preventive health care for girls and women. Although WHO recommends completion of essential vaccines by adolescence, global coverage remains suboptimal. Vaccine‐preventable diseases—including HPV‐related cancers, vaginal, vulvar, anal, oropharyngeal, influenza, pertussis, hepatitis B ...

Cross-Reactive Bactericidal Antimeningococcal Antibodies Can Be Isolated From Convalescing Invasive Meningococcal Disease Patients Using Reverse Vaccinology 2.0

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
The threat from invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) remains a serious source of concern despite the licensure and availability of vaccines. A limitation of current serogroup B vaccines is the breadth of coverage afforded, resulting from the capacity for

Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024

open access: yesJournal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.

Management of Refractory Thymoma‐Associated Myasthenia Gravis With Sequential FcRn Antagonist and Complement Inhibition Combined With Resection of Pleural Dissemination

open access: yesNeurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myasthenia gravis (MG) associated with disseminated thymoma is often refractory to conventional treatments due to continuous autoantibody production. The optimal treatment strategy, particularly the combination of complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, and surgical resection in thymoma‐associated ...

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Well‐Defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐Linked Oligosialosides

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 36, 1 September 2026.
Well‐defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐linked oligosialic acids of different lengths can be prepared by employing recombinant bacterial polysialyltransferases in combination with chemically modified CMP‐Neu5Ac derivatives. After transfer, a sialoside is formed bearing an artificial entity, which blocks further glycosylation.

Australian consensus recommendations for the management of increased meningococcal infection risk in adults with neurological diseases treated with complement inhibitors

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Complement inhibitor therapy carries a risk of serious infections, including meningococcal disease. Here we provide evidence‐based recommendations and expert consensus for immunisation and prophylactic treatment of patients receiving, or planning to receive, complement inhibitors for neurological conditions in the Australian setting.
