On the basis of comparative experimental evaluation of specific features in the course of the vaccinal process after the immunization of laboratory animals with live smallpox vaccines, intended for oral use (in tablets) and for skin scarification was proposed. In experiments on rabbits, made with the use of virological and immunological methods, the counteraction of the elements constituting the vaccinal process was analyzed, the integral evaluation of its course was given, the greater safety of the oral preparation in comparison with the traditional vaccine for immunization by skin-scarification method were established. The conclusion was made that oral immunization was the safest immunization method under modern conditions and promising one for using live vaccines with population immunity being at a low level or absent.

Purpose Of Review: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common STI and accounts for roughly 37 000 HPV-associated cancers annually in the United States. Despite documented safety and effectiveness of the HPV vaccine, vaccination rates should be higher. We summarize literature surrounding vaccine hesitancy, a main reason for suboptimal vaccine coverage.

Motivation: T-cell receptors (TCRs) elicit and mediate the adaptive immune response by recognizing antigenic peptides, a process pivotal for cancer immunotherapy, vaccine design, and autoimmune disease management. Understanding the intricate binding patterns between TCRs and peptides is critical for advancing these clinical applications. While several computational tools have been developed, they neglect the directional semantics inherent in sequence data, which are essential for accurately characterizing TCR-peptide interactions.

Nematodes, commonly known as roundworms, are among the most prevalent and diverse multicellular organisms on Earth, belonging to the large phylum Nematoda. In addition to free-living species, many nematodes are parasitic, infecting plants, animals, and humans. Nematodes possess a wide array of genes responsible for carbohydrate metabolism and glycosylation.

The study aims to explain the discourse of the collective subject of adult and elderly men about the experience of long COVID. Qualitative research, derived from a national multicenter clinical-virtual observatory involving 92 adult men, between 2022 and 2023 in Brazil. IRaMuTeQ software was used (data processing), the Collective Subject Discourse technique (analysis) and socio-anthropological references of the disease experience (interpretation).

Objectives: This study aimed to reassess the long-term impact of a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA)-informed intervention on guideline adherence among asplenic patients and their physicians, three years post-intervention.
Methods: This follow-up study was conducted within the framework of the interventional PrePSS (Prevention of Postsplenectomy Sepsis Score) study. Patients aged 18 or older with anatomical asplenia were in enrolled in a prospective controlled, two-armed historical control group design.
