TL;DR: The findings show that although providing appropriate services is absolutely necessary, it is also important to foster the use of such services and to help women overcome the barriers for accessing these services.

TL;DR: Annual influenza epidemics occur in consistent temporal patterns depending on climate, and percentage positivity was associated with low temperature.
Abstract: Background. Although influenza is a vaccine-preventable disease that annually causes substantial disease burden, data on virus activity in tropical countries are limited. We analyzed publicly available influenza data to better understand the global circulation of influenza viruses. Method. We reviewed open-source, laboratory-confirmed influenza surveillance data. For each country, we abstracted data on the percentage of samples testing positive for influenza each epidemiologic week from the annual number of samples testing positive for influenza. The start of influenza season was defined as the first week when the proportion of samples that tested positive remained above the annual mean. We assessed the relationship between percentage of samples testing positive and mean monthly temperature with use of regression models. Findings. We identified data on laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection from 85 countries. More than one influenza epidemic period per year was more common in tropical countries (41%) than in temperate coun- tries (15%). Year-round activity (ie, influenza virus identified each week having ≥10 specimens submitted) oc- curred in 3 (7%) of 43 temperate, 1 (17%) of 6 subtropical, and 11 (37%) of 30 tropical countries with available data (P= .006). Percentage positivity was associated with low temperature (P= .001). Interpretation. Annual influenza epidemics occur in consistent temporal patterns depending on climate.

TL;DR: EE as well as systemic inflammation and poor maternal health were associated with oral but not parenteral vaccine underperformance and risk for future growth faltering, and results offer a potential explanation for the burden of these problems in low-income problems.

TL;DR: Urinary creatinine was found to be significantly associated with urinary arsenic, which disqualifies the creat inine adjustment, and was more affected by body size, age, gender and season than was specific gravity.

TL;DR: Rotavirus vaccines have strongly reduced the number of children hospitalized due to a rotavirus infection at the Gasthuisberg University Hospital, Belgium; it is however unclear if the predominance of G2 genotypes is related to the vaccine introduction, or if this is attributable to normal genotype fluctuations.
