Factors influencing individuals to move away from careers as clinical radiographers.

Introduction: Many factors can influence a radiographer to leave the clinical profession. The retention of radiographers in the clinical workforce is an issue for many countries including Ireland. This study aimed to explore factors influencing radiographers in Ireland to leave the clinical profession so that changes can be considered to reduce attrition from clinical workforce.

Yeast -glucan supplementation lowers insulin resistance without altering microbiota composition compared with placebo in subjects with type II diabetes: a phase I exploratory study.

The increased global prevalence of type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with consumption of low fibre 'Western diets'. Characteristic metabolic parameters of these individuals include insulin resistance, high fasting and postprandial glucose, as well as low-grade systemic inflammation. Gut microbiota composition is altered significantly in these cohorts suggesting a causative link between diet, microbiota and disease.

Haemophilus influenzae Type b Vaccine Immunogenicity in American Indian/Alaska Native Infants.

Objectives: American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) infants historically experienced a disproportionate burden of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease, especially early in life. PedvaxHIB vaccine is preferentially recommended for AI/AN infants because it elicits protective antibody levels postdose 1. Vaxelis, a hexavalent vaccine that contains the same Hib conjugate as PedvaxHIB but at lower concentration, is recommended for US children, but postdose 1 Hib immunogenicity data are needed to inform whether a preferential recommendation should be made for AI/AN infants.
