[The contribution of the combined use of an electric toothbrush and specialized toothpaste for electric brushes to the dental health of young people aged 18-25 years].

The Aim Of The Study: Was to assess the impact of two toothpastes marked as «Whitening» and two electric toothbrushes on the dental health values of young adults aged 18-25 years.

Material And Methods: The study comprised 139 young adults 18-25 years old participated to assess the improvement of dental index score in dynamic observation. The study groups were formed by random sampling.

Current Challenges and Future Possibilities for Immunization Information Systems.

Immunizations have proven to be an important tool for public health and for reducing the impact of vaccine preventable diseases. To realize the maximum benefits of immunizations, a coordinated effort between public policy, health care providers and health systems is required to increase vaccination coverage and to ensure high-quality data are available to inform clinical and public health interventions. Immunization information systems (IIS) are confidential, population-based, computerized databases that record all immunization doses administered by participating providers to persons residing within a given geopolitical area.

Measurement and improvement as a model to strengthen immunization information systems and overcome data gaps.

Background: IIS are important tools in the public health system and exist to improve and protect the nation's health from vaccine-preventable diseases. A network of 62 independent state, territorial, and jurisdictional immunization information systems (IIS) are operated within the United States. These systems are relied upon to implement an increasingly complex vaccination schedule, consolidate and create comprehensive immunization records, as well as monitor vaccine safety, efficacy, and support vaccine delivery.

Immunization information systems to increase vaccination rates: a community guide systematic review.

Context: Immunizations are the most effective way to reduce incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases. Immunization information systems (IISs) are confidential, population-based, computerized databases that record all vaccination doses administered by participating providers to people residing within a given geopolitical area. They facilitate consolidation of vaccination histories for use by health care providers in determining appropriate client vaccinations.

Completion and timing of the three-dose human papillomavirus vaccine series among adolescents attending school-based health centers in Oregon.

Objective: Many adolescents do not complete the 3-dose human papillomavirus vaccine series in the recommended time frame, or at all. Given the challenges of administering a multi-dose vaccine to adolescents, especially those in vulnerable populations, we evaluated completion of the human papillomavirus vaccine series in 19 of Oregon's school-based health centers.

Methods: Among persons aged 0-17 who initiated the human papillomavirus vaccine series at a study school-based health center in 2007, we identified all subsequent human papillomavirus doses administered at the school-based health centers, or found in Oregon's immunization information system, in 2007-2008.

Immunization information systems progress - United States, 2005.

Immunization registries are confidential, computerized information systems that collect and consolidate vaccination data from multiple health-care providers, generate reminder and recall notifications, and assess vaccination coverage within a defined geographic area. A registry with added capabilities, such as vaccine management, adverse event reporting, lifespan vaccination histories, and linkages with electronic data sources, is called an immunization information system (IIS). This report summarizes data from CDC's 2005 Immunization Information System Annual Report (IISAR), a survey of grantees in 50 states, five cities, and the District of Columbia (DC) that receive funding under section 317b of the Public Health Service Act.
