The Ocular Complications of Smallpox and Smallpox Immunization [PDF]

Archives of Ophthalmology, 2003
Although smallpox was eradicated worldwide, concerns have been raised about the use of smallpox as a biological weapon. Plans are being considered for smallpox immunization in the United States. Variola virus, the cause of smallpox, and vaccinia virus, used in smallpox immunization, are both orthopoxviruses that are associated with serious ocular ...

Non‐negative Gaussian estimation of variance components in random effects models

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract When used to estimate variance components (VCs), confidence intervals (CIs) can be truncated at zero, have a point estimate not in the quoted CI, be empty with positive probability, or be all‐inclusive. This is because they have conflicting dual roles, since they are considered to cover the parameter with a specified probability while also ...

Evolution of means and principles of smallpox vaccination

Вестник войск РХБ защиты, 2020
There are several possible reasons for the return of smallpox as an endemic disease. For example, the possibility of maintaining smallpox virus in an active state in the corpses of the dead, buried in permafrost regions, or the evolutionary changes of ...

Membranous dysmenorrhea and decidual casts: A scoping review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Membranous dysmenorrhea, characterized by the expulsion of intact endometrial tissue rather than gradual dissolution during menstruation, occasionally presents as a decidual cast—a complete triangular mold of the uterine cavity. This poorly understood condition is likely underdiagnosed.

Critical role of perforin-dependent CD8+ T cell immunity for rapid protective vaccination in a murine model for human smallpox [PDF]

, 2012
Vaccination is highly effective in preventing various infectious diseases, whereas the constant threat of new emerging pathogens necessitates the development of innovative vaccination principles that also confer rapid protection in a case of emergency ...

Monkeypox Goes North: Ongoing Worldwide Monkeypox Infections in Humans

Viruses, 2022
In the late 1970s, global vaccination programs resulted in the eradication of smallpox. The Monkeypox virus (MPXV), which is closely related to the smallpox-inducing variola virus, was previously endemic only in Sub-Saharan Africa but is currently ...

Rethinking Smallpox [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2004
The potential consequences of a competently executed smallpox attack have not been adequately considered by policy makers. The possibility of release of an aerosolized and/or bioengineered virus must be anticipated and planned for. The transmission and infectivity of variola virus are examined.

Global perspectives on smallpox vaccine against monkeypox: a comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review of effectiveness, protection, safety and cross-immunogenicity

Emerging Microbes and Infections
A large outbreak of monkeypox occurred in 2022, and most people lack immunity to orthopoxvirus. Smallpox vaccination is essential for preventing further smallpox outbreaks.

The Role of Brincidofovir in Preparation for a Potential Smallpox Outbreak

Viruses, 2017
Smallpox (variola) virus is considered a Category A bioterrorism agent due to its ability to spread rapidly and the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with infection. Current recommendations recognize the importance of oral antivirals and call
