Vaccine hesitancy and other challenges to sexually transmitted infection vaccine acceptance.
Curr Opin Infect Dis
February 2025
School of Public Health, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, Texas, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Development of vaccines that protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, has progressed greatly over the past decade. However, little research has been conducted to examine STI vaccine acceptance and hesitancy and how these factors may impact future uptake. This review examines literature that could provide additional insights into factors that would impact STI vaccine acceptance and hesitancy.

Goethe University Frankfurt, University Hospital, Department of Neurology, Schleusenweg 2-16, 60528, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Background: Advances in secondary stroke prevention, including direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), dual antiplatelet therapies (DAPT), and cardiovascular risk management, have changed costs over the past decade. This study aimed to evaluate annual treatment costs and trends in drug-based secondary prophylaxis after ischemic strokes.
Methods: Annual treatment costs were evaluated using the net costs per defined daily dosage (DDD) of discharge medications for ischemic stroke patients treated in 2020 at the University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany.
Establishing, evaluating and monitoring analytical quality in the traceability era.
Crit Rev Clin Lab Sci

Poor analytical quality may be the bane of medical use of laboratory tests, and the fight against excessive analytical variability presents a daily struggle. Laboratories should prioritize the perspectives and needs of their customers (the patients and healthcare personnel). Among them, comparability of results from the same patient sample when measured by different laboratories using different diagnostic (IVD) medical devices is a logical priority to avoid result misinterpretation and potential patient harm.

Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red-Enfermedades Cardiovasculares (CIBERCV), Av. Monforte de Lemos, 3-5. Pabellón 11. Planta 0 28029, Madrid, Spain; Servicio de Cardiología, Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago de Compostela, PC 15706, Choupana s/n, Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Spain; Medicine Department, Santiago de Compostela University. San Francisco Street, PC 15701, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
Background And Objectives: Over the last two decades, reductions in cardiovascular (CV) and cerebrovascular events for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have been observed, but the non-cardiovascular rates have increased. Early initiation of oral anticoagulation helps reduce AF complications; however, the impact of delayed cardiology care after referral by a Primary Care Physician (PCP) is unknown. The aim of our study is to investigate the association between the elapsed time to cardiology care following a PCP referral and one-year outcomes among patients with AF and analyses gender-specific differences in these outcomes.

Health Hum Rights
December 2024
Associate professor in the Department of Health Promotion and Policy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst School of Public Health and Health Sciences, Amherst, United States.
Ecuador's legal framework promises equitable access to health care for all. However, gaps in coverage are being exacerbated by the nearly 500,000 Venezuelan distress migrants remaining in the country over the past decade. The purpose of our study was to examine how the Ecuadorian health system responds to the needs of migrant populations arriving in poor health conditions.
