- The study investigates the immunological responses to the modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) smallpox vaccine using 523 participants who received either lyophilized or liquid MVA in different administration methods.
- Results showed that MVA triggered significant antibody production against several viral proteins, particularly after 28 and 42 days, with strong correlations between some antibody responses and plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNT).
- The findings suggest that specific proteins from the MVA vaccine could be potential indicators of protection and may inform future vaccine development strategies.
Aim: To examine the relationships between workplace bullying, destructive leadership and team conflict, and physical health, strain, self-reported performance and intentions to quit among veterinarians in New Zealand, and how these relationships could be moderated by psychological capital and perceived organisational support.
Methods: Data were collected by means of an online survey, distributed to members of the New Zealand Veterinary Association. Participation was voluntary and all responses were anonymous and confidential.
Background: The steady increase in the number of people living and dying with dementia, coupled with the recent focus on quality of care, has highlighted the importance of dementia training for health care professionals. This exploratory study aimed to discover which skills health care students felt were important in providing quality end-of-life care to dementia patients.
Methods: Ninety-four medicine, nursing, and pharmacy students participated in a larger study using open-ended and closed questions to explore attitudes related to caring for dementia patients at the end of life.
