Cancer Vaccines

569
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Global Security

Background:

  • Vaccinators are essential for disease prevention and public health.
  • Understanding threats against vaccinators is vital for ensuring their safety and the continuity of vaccination programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze patterns of terrorist attacks targeting vaccinators globally.
  • To identify high-risk regions and time periods for attacks on vaccinators.

Main Methods:

  • A search of the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) was conducted for attacks between 1970 and 2018.
  • Healthcare-related terms were used to identify a broad dataset, followed by manual review for incidents specifically targeting vaccinators.

Main Results:

  • 133 attacks against vaccinators were identified between 1970 and 2018.
  • The vast majority of attacks (128/133) occurred from 2010 onwards.
  • Most attacks were concentrated in the Middle East, South Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa, with Pakistan experiencing the highest number (112 incidents).

Conclusions:

  • Vaccinators remain vulnerable to terrorist attacks, particularly in recent years.
  • Targeted protection measures for healthcare personnel are critical during mass vaccination efforts to safeguard public health initiatives.
