Hepatitis01:25

Hepatitis

34
Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver.

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

2.2K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

1.3K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a significant global health concern.
  • Prison populations represent a vulnerable group with potentially lower vaccination rates and higher exposure risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the current status of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination among incarcerated individuals.
  • To assess the impact of an intervention on HBV vaccination coverage within a prison setting.

Main Methods:

  • Two evaluations were conducted over one year with inmates incarcerated for 6-12 months.
  • A monitoring process was implemented between the evaluations to track vaccination progress.
  • Included 231 inmates in the study population.

Main Results:

  • Initial HBV vaccination coverage was 42.9% due to prior vaccination and 14.3% due to prior exposure.
  • The proportion of unvaccinated inmates decreased from 42.8% at incarceration to 27.5% after 6-12 months.
  • Vaccination coverage with two doses reached 63% among initially unvaccinated inmates after 6-12 months.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrates a notable increase in HBV vaccination coverage in the prison population.
  • Accelerated vaccination schedules show promise for improving HBV vaccination rates in correctional facilities.
  • Targeted vaccination strategies are crucial for reducing HBV transmission in high-risk populations.
