Although the World Health Organization recommends 2 tetanus vaccine-containing injections in pregnancy, in Uganda, only 59.2% of pregnant women received a 2nd dose in 2022. We set out to (1) create awareness of maternal vaccine-preventable diseases, maternal immunization benefits and vaccination safety through the use of media; (2) determine the effectiveness of maternal immunization campaigns and (3) assess stakeholder's acceptability of project interventions' delivery methods.

Background: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes a significant burden of illness for children under 2 years of age. Nirsevimab, a long-acting monoclonal antibody, was registered for RSV prevention in Australia in 2023. In April 2024, Western Australia (WA) launched the country's first state-wide nirsevimab program for all infants and high-risk children entering their second RSV season.

Background: Significant heterogeneity has been reported in estimates of long-term sequelae following SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women, and most studies were conducted pre-Omicron and pre-dated vaccination rollout. Less severe COVID-19 attributed to milder Omicron may potentially attenuate risk of post-COVID-19 sequelae.
Objective: We sought to examine long-term risk of new-incident multi-systemic sequelae following SARS-CoV-2 Delta/Omicron infection in a population-based cohort of pregnant women, contrasted against a)test-negatives; b)infected non-pregnant women of childbearing age.

Maternal exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) during pregnancy and lactation has been linked to adverse effects on offspring kidney development, with sex-specific outcomes. This study investigated the impact of maternal PS-NPs exposure on kidney weight, histology, transcriptomics, and functional pathways in offspring mice. Offspring exposed to PS-NPs exhibited significantly lower body weight (P < 0.

Background: Despite evidence showing changes in disease severity with the virus's evolution and vaccination efforts, the link between maternal, perinatal, and neonatal outcomes and SARS-CoV-2 infections during different pregnancy trimesters remains unclear, especially with the BA.5 and BF.7 Omicron subvariant surge in China in December 2022.

Background: nuclear-associated antigen Ki67 (Ki67) emerges as a clinically practical biomarker for proliferation assessment among many cancer types. However, the definite prognostic value of Ki67 against a specific cancer type has remained vague. This study aims to perform a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of the prognosis value of Ki67 across various cancer types.
