Report on the development of the scientific and operational fundamentals of BCG-vaccination, of the vaccine and standardization of the methods of vaccination. The health benefit of BCG-vaccination is still everywhere greater than the nuisance by undersirable reactions. Complications were seen in 0.9 cases per 100,000 vaccinations, in Europe in 1.4 cases among 100,000 vaccinated persons. The appeared as larger infiltrations at the site of vaccination, as supparations at the site of vaccination or of lymph nodes, as lymphadenitis and very rarely as osteomyelitis and fatal outcome after vaccination. Revaccination after waning of the allergy and protection is discussed.

Introduction: The treatment of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) aims to achieve spasm control. Current first-line interventions include hormone therapy (adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH] and corticosteroids) and vigabatrin. Despite treatment, the response rate remains at around 40%, with some infants experiencing relapse after achieving initial spasm control.

In this work, new doping approaches are proposed towards effective band structure and magnetism engineering of Janus MoSSe monolayer. In its pristine form, MoSSe monolayer is a direct gap semiconductor. Magnetic semiconductor nature is obtained by doping with Al/Ga atoms at Mo sublattice and P atom at S sublattice.
