Rotavirus - Vaccine Basics

By
Rotavirus causes acute gastroenteritis, which can cause intense diarrhea and vomiting in infants and children worldwide. There are two rotavirus vaccines currently licensed to vaccinate babies in the United States:

RotaTeq® (RV5) is administered in 3 doses at the ages of 2 months, 4 months and 6 months

Rotarix® (RV1) is administered in 2 doses at the ages of 2 months and 4 months.

This first dose of either vaccine is most effective if it is given before the child is 15 weeks old. Children should receive all doses of rotavirus vaccine before they reach 8 months of age.

Both vaccines are oral (taken by mouth and ingested). The rotavirus vaccine can be given at the same time as other childhood vaccines.

Millions of babies in the United States have received the rotavirus vaccine safely. However, some studies have shown a small increase in cases of intussusception by vaccination against rotavirus. Intestinal intussusception is an intestinal blockage that is treated in a hospital and may require surgery. It is estimated that the risk of intussusception is 1 per 20,000 babies to 1 in 100,000 babies after vaccination. Intussusception is more likely to occur within the first week after the first or second dose of the rotavirus vaccine.

The CDC continues to recommend that babies receive the rotavirus vaccine. The benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the small risk of intussusception. Thanks to the rotavirus vaccine, there has been a drastic reduction in hospitalizations and visits to the emergency room due to rotavirus disease.

There is a scientific consensus that the Zika virus is a cause of micro-infection and Guillain-Barré syndrome. References to other neurological complications are also studied. introduction The Zika virus is a mosquito-transmitted taste trail that was identified in Uganda in 1947 by monkeys through a network that marked the yellow color.

First human 'infected with computer virus

By
Dr Gasson admits that the trial is a proof of principle A British scientist says he is the first man in the world to become infected with a computer virus. Dr Mark Gasson from the University of Reading had a chip inserted in his hand which was then infected with a virus. The device, which enables him to pass through security doors and activate his mobile phone, is a sophisticated version of ID chips used to tag pets. In trials, Dr Gasson showed that the chip was able to pass on the computer virus to external control systems. If other implanted chips had then connected to the system they too would have been corrupted, he said. Medical alert Dr Gasson admits that the test is a proof of principle but he thinks it has important implications for a future where medical devices such as pacemakers and cochlear implants become more sophisticated, and risk being contaminated by other human implants. "With the benefits of this type of technology come risks. We may improve ourse...
