Article Synopsis
- - Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, like the one used for COVID-19, effectively help the immune system, but the specifics of how they work and why responses vary among individuals remain unclear.
- - Researchers studied gene expression changes in 200 vaccinated healthcare workers by analyzing blood samples taken before and after vaccination at multiple time points, using advanced techniques like UMAP for data visualization.
- - The study identified different groups based on gene expression patterns over time and demonstrated that high-throughput transcriptome analysis is valuable for conducting large-scale clinical research efficiently.
Although the scope of pharmacists' work has expanded in Japan, people's perception of this is unclear. To contribute to medical care together with non- and health care professionals, clarifying the perceptions of these groups is important to best utilize pharmacist professionals. We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey among non-health care professionals (n = 487) and nurses (n = 151), medical doctors (n = 133), and pharmacists (n = 204) regarding the work of pharmacists.

We aimed to identify immunological heterogeneity over time in vaccinated healthcare workers using neutralization antibodies and neutralizing activity tests.
Methods: Serum samples were collected from 214 healthcare workers before vaccination (pre) and on days 22, 90, and 180 after receiving the first dose of BNT162b2 vaccine (day 0).
(Introduction)HoLEP's role in the surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is steadily growing. In this study, a questionnaire containing questions about perioperative management was submitted to HoLEP surgeons to help establish standard surgical training procedures. (Methods)We sent a comprehensive 17 questionnaires on HoLEP procedures to 18 surgeons.
