[Vaccinations Before and During Pregnancy].

Vaccinations before and during pregnancy are of great significance-through a consistent vaccination strategy, infections can be totally prevented or the course of a disease can be attenuated and risks for mother and child avoided. The recommendations for immunizations before pregnancy are adapted to the general vaccination recommendations. Two vaccinations are explicitly recommended during pregnancy.

Experimental heart failure induces alterations of the lung proteome--insight into molecular mechanisms.

Background: Heart failure (CHF) is characterized by dyspnea and pulmonary changes. The underlying molecular adaptations are unclear, but might provide targets for therapeutic interventions. We therefore conceived a study to determine molecular changes of early pulmonary stress failure in a model of tachycardia-induced heart failure.
