The childhood immunization schedule is complex and nuanced. Although serious adverse reactions to immunizations are uncommon, clinicians must be well-versed in these reactions as well as the contraindications and precautions to each vaccine. • Conjugate vaccine technology links polysaccharide antigens to carrier proteins, triggering T-cell-dependent immunity to polysaccharides, thereby strengthening immune memory. • On the basis of some research evidence and consensus, live vaccines are generally contraindicated in immunocompromised patients and in pregnancy. Most live vaccines can be administered to household contacts of immunocompromised patients. • On the basis of some research and consensus, modified administration of meningococcal, pneumococcal, and less commonly, other vaccines may be indicated to protect immunocompromised patients. • On the basis of disease epidemiology and consensus, international travelers should be up-to-date with all routine immunizations; depending on destination, additional vaccines or immune globulin may be required.

Article Synopsis
- MGMT silencing occurs in about 6-7% of pancreatic cancer (PAC) cases and is more common in tumors with non-ductal histology and KRAS wild type status.
- This silencing is linked to longer overall survival and is associated with fewer KRAS mutations, as well as immune exclusion features.
- The study suggests that MGMT-silenced PACs may respond better to treatments involving alkylating and DNA damaging agents, pointing to the potential for targeted therapy combinations.

Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular condition. This study aimed to discover new indicators for the early detection of AAA and explore the possible involvement of immune cell activity in its development.
Methods: Sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus, the AAA microarray datasets GSE47472 and GSE57691 were combined to generate the training set.
Endograft collapse caused by aortic dissection is rare, but it might cause critical complications and sometimes lead to death. We present a case of bilateral lower limb ischemia caused by endograft collapse due to type B acute aortic dissection (TBAD). A 70-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that was treated by endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) 17 days prior returned to our hospital due to chest pain and bilateral lower limb paleness.

Article Synopsis
- Banana fruits have high resistant starch levels, beneficial for gut health and blood sugar regulation, which makes unripe banana flour valuable in the food industry.
- The study investigated 16 banana cultivars across three genome groups (ABB, AAB, AAA) to understand how different genotypes affect resistant starch properties.
- Results showed genotype-specific patterns in resistant starch degradation, with AAA genome having the highest degradation, while ABB and AAB genotypes were better at forming resistant starch, highlighting the importance of genetic differences for future breeding.
