Cancer Vaccines

581
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...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

1.3K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.5K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

12.8K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.6K
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...

Summary

Vaccinations, particularly non-live ones, are generally beneficial for psoriasis patients, reducing infection risks. However, more research is needed to establish specific vaccine recommendations for managing this autoimmune condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease impacting quality of life.
  • Infections can exacerbate psoriasis, necessitating preventative measures.
  • Vaccination is underutilized in autoimmune disease patients, including those with psoriasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current understanding of psoriasis pathophysiology.
  • To evaluate the benefits and risks of vaccination in psoriasis patients.
  • To emphasize the importance of vaccinations in managing psoriasis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing data on psoriasis and vaccines.
  • Focus on influenza, pneumococcal, and herpes zoster vaccines.
  • Analysis of studies supporting or refuting immunization benefits for psoriasis.

Main Results:

  • Most literature supports vaccination for psoriasis patients.
  • Non-live attenuated vaccines appear beneficial.
  • Current vaccination rates among psoriasis patients remain low.

Conclusions:

  • Immunization is generally recommended for psoriasis patients.
  • Further research is required to develop specific vaccine schedules.
  • Increased awareness among healthcare professionals is crucial.
