Cancer Vaccines

500
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...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.1K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Active versus Passive Immunity01:31

Active versus Passive Immunity

3.5K
Immunity, along with the ability to limit pathogen growth to prevent significant body tissue damage, can be gained either by (1) actively developing an immune response within the individual after exposure to a pathogen or after getting vaccinated or (2) passively transferring immune components from an immune individual to one who is nonimmune. Both these forms of immunity can be found naturally and in medical practices.
Active Immunity
Active immunity refers to the resistance one develops...

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

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.

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

    Summary

    Pro-social individuals demonstrate higher voluntary COVID-19 vaccination rates. People with greater concern for others are more likely to get vaccinated early, highlighting the link between social preferences and public health decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Economics
    • Public Health
    • Vaccinology

    Background:

    • Vaccination offers both individual and societal advantages.
    • Understanding the drivers of vaccination decisions, particularly voluntary uptake, is crucial for public health.
    • Social preferences, or concern for others' well-being, may influence health behaviors.

    Approach:

    • Assessed social preferences in 549 online participants using a public-good game and an altruism game.
    • Measured voluntary COVID-19 vaccination timing as a proxy for vaccine demand.
    • Collected vaccination history separately from game participation to mitigate bias.

    Key Points:

    • Contributions in the public-good game, reflecting pro-social behavior, strongly correlated with earlier voluntary COVID-19 vaccination.

  • Individuals contributing maximally in the public-good game were 58% more likely to get a first dose within the study period.
  • Behavior in the altruism game did not predict vaccination decisions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pro-social preferences are significantly associated with increased voluntary vaccination uptake.
    • Findings suggest leveraging social preferences could be a strategy to encourage vaccination for infectious diseases.
    • Further research is recommended to explore this association for other vaccines like influenza and HPV.
