Herpes zoster (HZ) is a common disease in older adults and immunocompromised patients, and is frequently associated with long-term complications that impact quality of life. Fortunately, more than one vaccine against HZ is now available in Mexico. Two expert consensus groups discussed adult vaccination strategies in Mexico, focusing on HZ in older adults and immunocompromised individuals; their insights are reported here.

GSK, Ho Chi Minh City 70000, Vietnam.
The burden of herpes zoster (HZ) is recognized worldwide; however, there is seemingly limited information on incidence and vaccination practices in Southeast Asia (SEA). A scientific workshop was held by the Zoster Experts' Network to exchange and consolidate insights on the burden of HZ and the patient pathway in SEA. The workshop included practicing clinical experts and public health specialists/epidemiologists from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Hospital Universitario Mayor-Méderi, Bogotá 111411, Colombia.
Although the current literature has shown an increasing interest in surgical treatment of gastric cancer (GC) in older adults in recent years, there is still no consensus on proper management in this subgroup of patients. This study was designed with the objective of evaluating the current evidence that compares limited lymph node dissection with extended lymph node dissection in older adult patients (≥65 years) coursing with resectable GC. A systematic review of PubMed, Cochrane library, and ScienceDirect was performed according to PRISMA guidelines.

Physical inactivity among undergraduate university students has been considered a public health concern. To address this, researchers have utilized consensus workshop approaches to develop effective physical activity (PA) recommendations. However, the existing research has limitations: it is outdated, not context-specific to young adults, and does not account for psychosocial factors (such as mental health, motivation, and social support) that hinder or promote PA behavior, particularly in South Africa.

: While new methods for measuring antimicrobial susceptibility have been associated with improved patient outcomes, they should also be validated using standard protocols for error rates and other test metrics. The objective of this study was to validate a novel susceptibility assay for complicated and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs): pooled antibiotic susceptibility testing (P-AST). This assay was compared to broth microdilution (BMD) and disk diffusion (DD), following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines for assessment of error rates and agreement.
