Abstract

The aims of this study were to review predictors of knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV), HPV vaccine, and factors related to HPV vaccine uptake and report a quality assurance project that evaluated HPV vaccine uptake and three-dose completion rates. The setting was a small private urban pediatric practice. Chart review was used to describe HPV vaccine uptake and dose completion rates in 2007. The convenience sample included 189 girls aged 12 to 21 years with HPV vaccine uptake. During 2007, 153 girls aged 12 to 17 years and 42 girls aged 18 to 21 years were seen at well-child care visits. HPV vaccine uptake was 72% (n = 110) for the younger group and 79% (n = 33) for the older group. There was no significant difference in HPV vaccine uptake by group. One quarter (24%, n = 46) received the HPV vaccine dose at an episodic visit. The dose completion rate was 64% (n = 120). HPV vaccine uptake and dose completion rates were higher than rates reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Effective strategies are needed to promote HPV vaccine uptake and dose completion.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
