Two meningococcal serogroup B vaccines are licensed for use in the United States. In August 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) changed the label for the meningococcal serogroup B MenB-4C vaccine (Bexsero) from a 2-dose schedule (intervals of 0 and ≥1 month) to a 2-dose schedule (0 and 6 months) and added a 3-dose schedule (0, 1-2, and 6 months), based on new immunogenicity data. On October 24, 2024, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to update its recommendations for the MenB-4C dosing interval and schedule to align with the new FDA label.

Article Synopsis
- - The scales of the Xenopeltis hainanensis snake are being studied for their unique properties, which can inspire new bionic materials designed with scale-like features for improved performance in various environments.
- - A thorough analysis reveals that the scales have a comb-like microstructure that enhances surface area and minimizes pressure, while the bending capabilities of collagen fibrils allow for effective energy dissipation to prevent structural failures.
- - The ventral scales are particularly resilient due to their greater thickness and higher sulfur content, resulting in superior mechanical properties, as supported by advanced testing techniques like Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and SEM imaging.
Flying with nut and other food allergies: unravelling fact from fiction.

Aviation Medical Consultancy Limited, Burgess Hill, UK.
There is a common perception that peanut/tree nut particles can be transmitted through aircraft ventilation systems and pose a significant risk to passengers with food allergies. In fact, food-induced allergic reactions are around 10-100 times less common during flights than 'on the ground', perhaps because of the multiple precautions food-allergic passengers take when flying. We review the evidence for strategies to help prevent accidental allergic reactions while travelling on commercial flights (review registered at PROSPERO, ref CRD42022384341).

Unlabelled: An educational escape room is a form of game-based learning that has been shown to improve students' learning experience. A cardiovascular escape room was designed to promote the development of transversal skills and help students retain learned content knowledge in an integrated pharmacology and therapeutic unit in a Pharmacy course.
Objective: This study aims to design, pilot, and evaluate the students' self-perceived transversal skills, learning experience and knowledge acquisition from a cardiovascular educational escape room.
