Climate change will continue to impact allergic diseases in direct and indirect ways. Rising global temperatures are contributing to increased duration of pollen seasons, altered aeroallergen production and potency of allergens, and changes in the geographic distribution of allergenic plants that drive increased human exposure to aeroallergens and increased allergic disease morbidity. Climate change is inextricably linked with air pollution, the latter of which was shown to act as an adjuvant for allergic inflammatory processes promoting allergic sensitization.

Objectives: The Philippine National Immunization Program guidelines recommend using the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) among senior citizens. We conducted cost-effectiveness analyses to assess the impact of replacing 2-dose PPV23 with PCV13 in all adults aged ≥60 years and expanding the recommendation to include PCV13 for adults aged 18 to 59 years at elevated risk of disease (moderate-/high-risk).
Methods: Lifetime risks and costs of invasive pneumococcal disease, nonbacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia (NBPP), and expected impact of vaccination were projected using a probabilistic cohort model.

Parkinson's disease is characterized, in part, by hypoactivity of direct pathway inhibitory projections from striatum to the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and indirect pathway inhibitory projections from globus pallidus externus (GPe) to the subthalamic nucleus (STN). In people with Parkinson's disease (n=32), we explored the potential use of intracranial stimulation for eliciting long-term potentiation (LTP) of these underactive pathways to produce improvement of symptoms that persists beyond stimulation cessation. During GPi deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, we found strong evidence (p<.

Transgender (T+) people report negative healthcare experiences such as being misgendered, pathologizing gender, and gatekeeping care, as well as treatment refusal. Less is known about T+ patients' perceptions of interrelated factors associated with, and consequences of, negative experiences. The purpose of this analysis was to explore T+ patients' negative healthcare experiences through Twitter posts using the hashtag #transhealthfail.
