AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examined how age and sex influence the reporting of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) during the 2021-2022 influenza season.
  • The analysis used a large dataset of vaccine doses and reported AEFIs, applying a generalized additive model to capture non-linear trends and interactions.
  • Findings showed that younger individuals had lower AEFI reporting rates, which peaked around age 54, with females reporting AEFIs more frequently than males, especially when receiving multiple vaccines simultaneously.

Article Abstract

Background: Previous evidence had suggested age and sex affect the reporting rate of adverse events following immunization (AEFI), but with little exploration of potential their non-linear and interaction effects on AEFIs. Examining these non-linear effects could be beneficial for identifying high-risk populations.

Methods: Using AEFI records and vaccination data from national passive surveillance system of adverse event following immunization and Zhejiang provincial immunization information system in the 2021-2022 influenza season, respectively. The effects of age and sex on AEFIs were analyzed through the generalized additive model (logistic regression with a smooth term) to estimate non-linear characteristics after adjusting for other co-variables (adopted significance level p < 0.05).

Results: There were 1,259,975 influenza vaccine doses administered and 1304 AEFI records reported during the 2021-2022 influenza season, with a reporting rate of 10.35/10,000 doses. The odds of reporting an AEFI increased from 6 months of age, peaking at about 54 years of age, then gradually declined. The odds of females experiencing AEFIs are higher than that of males. The data model indicated clear effects of age, sex, and their interaction (p < 0.01) on reporting rate of AEFI. Concomitant vaccination and vaccine type were also the impact factors for reporting rate of AEFI.

Conclusion: This study revealed a non-linear property in age and the AEFI odds, with a significant interaction and higher reporting rate in females. In addition, the odds of AEFI increased with co-administration compared to separate vaccination.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ulsan University Hospital, University of Ulsan, College of Medicine, 25 Daehakbyeongwon-ro, Dong-gu, Ulsan, 44033, South Korea.

Background: The primary treatment for cervical insufficiency is cervical cerclage (mechanical support) with vaginal progesterone (biochemical support). Cerclage is a surgical procedure that mechanically increases the tensile capacity of the cervix. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the effects of cerclage from a mechanical point of view.

An FPGA-Based SiNW-FET Biosensing System for Real-Time Viral Detection: Hardware Amplification and 1D CNN for Adaptive Noise Reduction.

Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Sciences and Humanities Sciences, Majmaah University, Al Majmaah 11952, Saudi Arabia.

Impedance-based biosensing has emerged as a critical technology for high-sensitivity biomolecular detection, yet traditional approaches often rely on bulky, costly impedance analyzers, limiting their portability and usability in point-of-care applications. Addressing these limitations, this paper proposes an advanced biosensing system integrating a Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor (SiNW-FET) biosensor with a high-gain amplification circuit and a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) implemented on FPGA hardware. This attempt combines SiNW-FET biosensing technology with FPGA-implemented deep learning noise reduction, creating a compact system capable of real-time viral detection with minimal computational latency.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are significant global health challenges that increase the risk of various chronic diseases. The lymphocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LHR) has emerged as a novel inflammatory metabolic marker. The present study focused on evaluating the association between the LHR and both IR and MetS.
