Article Synopsis
- Vaccines have played a crucial role in controlling pandemics since the smallpox vaccine, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak, by activating various immune cells like CD4 and CD8 T cells and B cells.
- Research shows that specific T regulatory cells, like Treg and Tr1, influence how effective vaccines are, especially for immunocompromised individuals.
- Strategies to enhance vaccine efficacy include adjusting dosages, changing administration routes, giving booster shots, and using monoclonal antibodies to minimize Treg activity and stimulate stronger immune responses.
Kyphoplasty is used for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. The procedure involves inflating a balloon at the compression site; then, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement is added into the space created by the balloon, where it polymerizes, achieving stabilization, with possible expansion of the vertebral angle. The process is guided by X-rays.
