Although 1 in 3 people globally are expected to develop herpes zoster (HZ; i.e. shingles), HZ vaccination is not currently part of the Philippine National Immunization Program and HZ is not considered as one of the main vaccine-preventable diseases ...

Is the Sulphur Anomaly in Planetary Nebulae Caused by the s-Process? [PDF]
Motivated by unexplained observations of low sulphur abundances in planetary nebulae (PNe) and the PG1159 class of post asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, we investigate the possibility that sulphur may be destroyed by nucleosynthetic processes in low-to-intermediate mass stars during stellar evolution.

Dilemma in Diagnosing Herpes Zoster with Prodromal Odontalgia in Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report [PDF]
Herpes Zoster (HZ) is an acute viral infection characterised by painful unilateral vesicular lesions, generally occurs in immunocompromised conditions, and progresses through three stages i.e., prodromal, active, and chronic stages.

The s-Process Enrichment of the Globular Clusters M4 and M22 [PDF]
We investigate the enrichment in elements produced by the slow neutron-capture process ($s$-process) in the globular clusters M4 (NGC 6121) and M22 (NGC 6656). Stars in M4 have homogeneous abundances of Fe and neutron-capture elements, but the entire cluster is enhanced in $s$-process elements (Sr, Y, Ba, Pb) relative to other clusters with a similar ...

Shingles Vaccine Uptake Among Older Adults: Identifying Early, Later, and Nonadopters
Introduction: There is growing interest in accelerating adoptions of vaccines. This study examined factors that differentiate the acceptance and timing of uptake of the first shingles vaccine, Zostavax, among older adults in the U.S.

The recombinant shingles vaccine is associated with lower risk of dementia
There is emerging evidence that the live herpes zoster (shingles) vaccine might protect against dementia. However, the existing data are limited and refer only to the live vaccine, which is now discontinued in the United States and many other countries ...

Suitability of Wooden Shingles for Ventilated Roofs: An Evaluation of Ventilation Efficiency
Wooden shingles are a traditional roofing material on many culturally important building artifacts. Currently, the roof space of many traditional buildings is used for residential purposes and, consequently, cold roof constructions with ventilation ...

Risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome following herpes zoster, United States, 2010–2018
Epidemiologic data regarding the risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following herpes zoster (HZ) are limited. We conducted a self-controlled case series analysis using two large national data sources to evaluate the risk of GBS following HZ among U.S.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a debilitating vaccine-preventable disease. Impairment of cell-mediated immunity, as observed with aging and immunosuppressive disorders and therapies, increases risk.

Monte Carlo radiative transfer for the nebular phase of Type Ia supernovae [PDF]
We extend the range of validity of the ARTIS 3D radiative transfer code up to hundreds of days after explosion, when Type Ia supernovae are in their nebular phase. To achieve this, we add a non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) population and ionisation solver, a new multi-frequency radiation field model, and a new atomic dataset with forbidden
