Position statement on the management of pregnancy in sickle cell disease

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, EarlyView.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary haemoglobinopathy which causes multi‐organ dysfunction. Pregnancies in SCD are high risk with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, including vaso‐occlusive crises, thrombosis, anaemia, placental insufficiency, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth and medication effects. High level evidence

Genetic Diversity of Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccine Antigens among Carriage Isolates Collected from Students at Three Universities in the United States, 2015–2016

mBio, 2021
The impact of serogroup B meningococcal (MenB) vaccines on carriage is not completely understood. Using whole-genome sequencing data, we assessed the diversity and distribution of MenB vaccine antigens (particularly FHbp) among 1,514 meningococcal ...

Understanding hesitancy with revealed preferences across COVID-19 vaccine types [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Many countries have secured larger quantities of COVID-19 vaccines than their populace is willing to take. This abundance and variety of vaccines created a historical moment to understand vaccine hesitancy better. Never before were more types of vaccines available for an illness and the intensity of vaccine-related public discourse is unprecedented ...

The role of the gut microbiota in regulating responses to vaccination: current knowledge and future directions

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 6, Page 1480-1499, March 2025.
Vaccination plays a crucial role in mediating protection against infectious diseases, but immune responses to vaccination are highly variable and frequently sub‐optimal in vulnerable populations. Here, we review the latest preclinical and clinical evidence demonstrating that the gut microbiota plays a significant role in regulating immune responses to ...

Analysis of COVID-19 in India using vaccine epidemic model incorporating vaccine effectiveness and herd immunity [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
COVID-19 will be a continuous threat to human population despite having a few vaccines at hand until we reach the endemic state through natural herd immunity and total immunization through universal vaccination. However, the vaccine acts as a practical tool for reducing the massive public health problem and the emerging economic consequences that the ...

The effect of sleep and shift work on the primary immune response to messenger RNA‐based COVID‐19 vaccination

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Shift work can cause circadian misalignment, which often results in sleeping problems and has been associated with immune dysfunction. To better understand the impact of shift work on a primary immune response to vaccination, we compared severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)‐specific humoral and cellular immune responses ...
