Vaccine safety surveillance in South Africa through COVID-19: A journey to systems strengthening.
Vaccine
February 2025
National Institute for Communicable Diseases, Division of Public Health Surveillance and Response, Johannesburg, South Africa; University of the Witwatersrand, Respiratory and Meningeal Pathogens Research Unit, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Background: Surveillance systems for monitoring and reporting adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) and adverse events of special interest (AESI) are vital in understanding safety profiles of post-marketed vaccines. Evaluation of surveillance systems is necessary for systems strengthening. We conducted the first evaluation of the South African AEFI surveillance system in its current form, established in 2018.

Infection Control Program, University of Geneva Hospitals and Faculty of Medicine, WHO Collaborating Center, Geneva, Switzerland.
Background: An explosion in a Chinese factory in 2016 caused a global shortage of essential broad-spectrum antibiotic piperacillin-tazobactam. Hitherto, no detailed, policy-relevant analysis has been conducted on this major shortage event. Thus, we aimed to (1) investigate causes; (2) describe supply chain challenges; and (3) uncover policy gaps to support possible mitigation actions.

BMC Health Serv Res
November 2024
Department of Psychology, University of Sheffield, Portobello, Sheffield, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Effective care for critically ill patients in ICU relies on collaboration and communication among healthcare teams, but medication errors during transitions to hospital wards can negatively impact patient outcomes.
- A qualitative study with focus groups aimed to identify necessary changes and develop a theory-informed intervention package to enhance medication safety among ICU patients transitioning to wards.
- The intervention package comprises seven core components for improving medication management, grounded in behavioral change techniques, with specific mechanisms for how each component will enhance patient safety.
The role of ACPs in recognising and treating diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state.

Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust.
Article Synopsis
- - Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS) are urgent diabetic emergencies that need quick detection and treatment.
- - Advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) are vital for diagnosing, initiating treatment, and coordinating care, although some may lack confidence dealing with these complications.
- - The review covers the causes, risk factors, and management strategies for DKA and HHS, emphasizing the need to reduce risks and prevent future occurrences for better patient outcomes.
mRNA localization and thylakoid protein biogenesis in the filamentous heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium sp. PCC 7120.

School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, London, United Kingdom.
Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria such as () sp. PCC 7120 exhibit extensive remodeling of their thylakoid membranes during heterocyst differentiation. Here we investigate the sites of translation of thylakoid membrane proteins in vegetative cells and developing heterocysts, using mRNA fluorescent hybridization (FISH) to detect the location of specific mRNA species.
