Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities in influenza vaccine uptake among adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) across two medical centers.
- The findings revealed that non-Hispanic White patients and older individuals were more likely to receive the influenza vaccine, while Black patients and those from underserved areas had lower vaccination rates.
- The research highlighted the need for further studies to explore ways to improve vaccination rates and address these disparities amongst IBD patients.
The alveolar epithelium is characteristically abnormal in fibrotic lung disease, and we recently established a direct link between injury to the type II alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) and the accumulation of interstitial collagen. The mechanisms by which damage to the epithelium induces lung scarring remain poorly understood. It is particularly controversial whether an insult to the type II AEC initiates an inflammatory response that is required for the development of fibrosis.
