Introduction: This study explores the potential associations between COVID-19 vaccination and neuropsychiatric conditions. Methods: Data were collected from the CDC and FDA. The VAERS database was queried from January 1, 1990, to December 27, 2024, for adverse events (AEs) involving neuropsychiatric complications following COVID-19 vaccination. The timeframe included 420 months for all vaccines except COVID-19… Continue reading Association Between #COVID-19 #Vaccination and #Neuropsychiatric Conditions

Uncertain Benefits of Oral #Vancomycin for Prevention of Recurrent #Clostridioides difficile Infection
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the most common cause of health care–associated diarrhea, with the primary risk being the use of antibacterial drugs. Approximately 25% of first episodes of CDI are associated with a recurrence; recurrence rates increase with each episode and can be greater than 65%.1 There is no proven strategy to prevent recurrent… Continue reading Uncertain Benefits of Oral #Vancomycin for Prevention of Recurrent #Clostridioides difficile Infection
Does #oral #hygiene prevents nosocomial #infections in hospitalized patients? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of oral hygiene (OH) with chlorhexidine (CHX) on the evolution of nosocomial infections (NI).Material and methods: Electronic searches were carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, VHL, and Grey Literature databases. Randomized clinical trials were included. Methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed… Continue reading Does #oral #hygiene prevents nosocomial #infections in hospitalized patients?

Age-adjusted non-COVID-19 #mortality rates according to the #COVID-19 vaccination status
Excess mortality has been observed in several countries since 2021 and has not yet been explained. The aim of this study was to determine whether the age-adjusted mortality rates of non-COVID-19 deaths differed between those who had received one, two, three or four doses compared with the unvaccinated. Data were obtained from the Office for… Continue reading Age-adjusted non-COVID-19 #mortality rates according to the #COVID-19 vaccination status
Impact of #mRNA and Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccines on #Ovarian Reserve
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the effects of messenger RNA (mRNA) and inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines on ovarian histology and reserve in rats. Methods: Thirty female Wistar albino rats, aged 16–24 weeks, were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10): control, mRNA vaccine, and inactivated vaccine groups. Each vaccine group received… Continue reading Impact of #mRNA and Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccines on #Ovarian Reserve
Deaths “due to” #COVID-19 and deaths “with” COVID-19 during the #Omicron variant surge, among hospitalized patients in seven tertiary-care hospitals, Athens, Greece
In Greek hospitals, all deaths with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test are counted as COVID-19 deaths. Our aim was to investigate whether COVID-19 was the primary cause of death, a contributing cause of death or not-related to death amongst patients who died in hospitals during the Omicron surge and were registered as COVID-19 deaths. Additionally, we… Continue reading Deaths “due to” #COVID-19 and deaths “with” COVID-19 during the #Omicron variant surge, among hospitalized patients in seven tertiary-care hospitals, Athens, Greece
Repeated #COVID-19 #Vaccination as a Poor Prognostic Factor in Pancreatic #Cancer: A Retrospective, Single-Center Cohort Study
AbstractThe COVID-19 vaccine is a significant technological advancement with widespread global use. However, its effect on cancer immunity, particularly with repeated vac-cinations, remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between repeated vaccinations and pancreatic cancer (PC) prognosis. Additionally, we examined serum IgG4 levels, known to be an immune suppressor and increased with repeated vac-cinations.… Continue reading Repeated #COVID-19 #Vaccination as a Poor Prognostic Factor in Pancreatic #Cancer: A Retrospective, Single-Center Cohort Study
COVID-19 #vaccines and #adverse events of special interest: A multinational Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) cohort study of 99 million vaccinated individuals
AbstractBackground: The Global COVID Vaccine Safety (GCoVS) Project, established in 2021 under the multinational Global Vaccine Data Network™ (GVDN®), facilitates comprehensive assessment of vaccine safety. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of adverse events of special interest (AESI) following COVID-19 vaccination from 10 sites across eight countries.Methods: Using a common protocol, this observational cohort… Continue reading COVID-19 #vaccines and #adverse events of special interest: A multinational Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) cohort study of 99 million vaccinated individuals
