From November 1st to 2nd, 2018, the annual World Health Organization (WHO) Prequalification (PQ) consultation will be held in Kunming, China. Unlike previous years, this year’s consultation will only take the one-on-one format, namely the World Health Organization Vaccine Pre-Certification Review Team and small meetings of various domestic vaccine manufacturers. Although the part of the centralized consultation meeting will be cancelled, which means companies and international organizations are unable to discuss and share the importance of pre-certification, but it’s believed that after several years of consultations, everyone has already cooked up the importance and significance of pre-certification. Evidence? This year’s 14 vaccine manufacturers actively participate in the one-on-one consultation is the best proof. As of November 2018, there were 4 manufacturers and vaccines that successfully passed the pre-certification of vaccines in China, namely, Chengdu institution’s Yinao, Hualan’s Liugan, Kexing’s Miejia and Beishengyan’s bOPV. At the PQ consultation meeting in Beijing ...

MONDAY, Oct. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) — The antiviral drug remdesivir doesn’t reduce COVID-19 patients’ risk of death, a new study says. The World Health Organization-sponsored study of the drug — the only antiviral authorized for treatment of COVID-19 in the United States –included more than 11,000 people in 30 countries, The New York Times reported. The findings were posted online on Thursday, but have not yet been peer-reviewed or published in a scientific journal. “This puts the issue to rest — there is certainly no mortality benefit,” Dr. Ilan Schwartz, an infectious-disease physician at the University of Alberta in Canada, told The Times. However, another infectious-disease expert expressed caution about the findings. A large trial like this that’s conducted in numerous countries with different health care systems can result in inconsistent treatment protocols whose effects can be difficult to analyze, Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, University of California, San Francisco, told ...
Last month, Russia announced the approval of a COVID-19 vaccine called Sputnik V. This week, President Vladimir Putin announced the approval of a second vaccine, called EpiVacCorona. As with the first, scientists have not yet tested this vaccine in phase 3 trials. The vaccine was developed by scientists at the State Virology and Biotechnology Center, known as Vektor, in Novosibirsk. According to The Moscow Times: “Early trials on 100 volunteers were said to have been successful.” In a televised news conference, Putin explained that researchers had given the vaccine to Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and the head of Russia’s consumer safety watchdog, Anna Popova, as part of ongoing trials. During the briefing, they explained that: “Early trials on 100 volunteers were said to have been successful.” As with Sputnik V, experts are likely to view the new vaccine with skepticism. Vaccines must be rigorously investigated before they can be used widely, and ...

Vaccines are a central player in our fight against infectious diseases. What components are commonly found in vaccines, and what is their purpose? In this Special Feature article, we find out. Why do some vaccines have a long list of components? Many people will be familiar with the concept that a vaccine against a particular virus will contain a small amount of the pathogen or a part of it, at least. When we receive the vaccine, the viral interloper triggers our immune system to launch a series of events that leave us protected against the pathogen in the future. But a glance at the ingredients in common vaccines reveals a long list of other components, the roles of which might not seem so clear cut. What is the purpose of the likes of gelatin, thimerosal, and Polysorbate 80? And why do some vaccines contain aluminum? In this Special Feature article, ...
Source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327186.php Results of a new study in mice suggest that the body may be able to defeat the influenza virus if a person has the right sort of diet — a ketogenic, or keto, diet. Infection with the influenza virus, better known as the flu, has accounted for 12,000–61,000Trusted Source deaths every year since 2010 in the United States, with an annual economic burden of $87.1 billionTrusted Source. The introduction of the flu vaccine has greatly improved infection and morbidity rates. However, there is still currently no cure for the illness. Healthcare professionals and scientists alike are continuing the search for novel therapeutics to combat the flu, yet the key may lie within the body’s own immune system. Moreover, it may be activated by the keto diet. Following the keto diet involves eating foods that are high in fat and low in carbohydrates. Meals tend to consist of ...

This has led to many reports of adverse symptoms in adults and children alike.People have been using natural psychoactive substances for hundreds or even thousands, of years in traditional medicine and as a part of spiritual practices. Because these substances come from sources such as plants and mushrooms, many people believe them to be safe to use.However, because they interfere with biological processes in the central nervous system, they can be a threat to human health. These interferences can also cause euphoria and altered states of consciousness. The Center for Injury Research and Policy at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH, collaborated with the Ohio State University College of Medicine, also in Columbus, to ...
