Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

834
Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

397
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Prevalence and Incidence01:08

Prevalence and Incidence

1.4K
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Viral Mutations00:36

Viral Mutations

39.4K
A mutation is a change in the sequence of bases of DNA or RNA in a genome. Some mutations occur during replication of the genome due to errors made by the polymerase enzymes that replicate DNA or RNA. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase is prone to errors because it is not capable of “proofreading” its work. Viruses with RNA-based genomes, like HIV, therefore accrue mutations faster than viruses with DNA-based genomes. Because mutation and recombination provide the raw material...

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics02:59

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

8.8K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

Summary

Publication trends in measles research show a shift towards elimination and coverage determinants, with a notable decline in autism-vaccination link studies. Future research priorities include social science and technical innovations for measles eradication.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • This review analyzes publication trends on measles from 1960 to mid-2018, indexed by the National Library of Medicine.
  • It identifies growth in published papers, particularly in the 21st century, focusing on costing, elimination, and coverage determinants.

Observation:

  • A systematic extraction and classification of measles-related citations from 1960-2018 were performed.
  • Tabular summaries by decade and subject matter highlight key research areas and publication trends.

Findings:

  • Current research predominantly focuses on vaccination coverage, measles elimination, outbreak reports, Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), and Supplementary Immunization Activities (SIAs).
  • A surge in articles exploring the vaccination-autism link in the 1990s sharply decreased following the Institute of Medicine's report refuting the hypothesis.

Implications:

  • The study discusses the sequencing of polio and measles eradication, with measles eradication unlikely before 2022.
  • Future research priorities include the role of social science in addressing vaccine hesitancy and the impact of technical innovations like micropatch vaccination.
