TL;DR: The treatment of inflammatory bowel disease has been revolutionised over the past decade by the increasing use of immunomodulators, mainly azathioprine/6-mercaptopurine and methotrexate, together with the advent of biological therapy.

Vaccines are not associated with autism: An evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies
TL;DR: A meta-analysis suggests that vaccinations are not associated with the development of autism or autism spectrum disorder and the components of the vaccines (thimerosal or mercury) or multiple vaccines (MMR) are not related to this topic.

Pervasive Developmental Disorders in Montreal, Quebec, Canada: Prevalence and Links With Immunizations
TL;DR: The prevalence of pervasive developmental disorder in Montreal was high, increasing in recent birth cohorts as found in most countries, and there was no significant effect of thimerosal exposure used either as a continuous or a categorical variable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vaccine hesitancy: Causes, consequences, and a call to action.
TL;DR: The potential of vaccines to prevent illness and save lives has never been greater, yet, that potential is directly dependent on parental acceptance of vaccines, which requires confidence in vaccines, healthcare providers who recommend and administer vaccines, and the systems to make sure vaccines are safe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a consecutive series of children with chronic enterocolitis and regressive developmental disorder, and identified associated gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in a group of previously normal children, which was generally associated in time with possible environmental triggers.

Autism and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine: no epidemiological evidence for a causal association
Brent Taylor,Elizabeth Miller,CPaddy Farrington,Maria-Christina Petropoulos,Isabelle Favot-Mayaud,Jun Li,Pauline Waight +6 more
TL;DR: The authors' analyses do not support a causal association between MMR vaccine and autism, and it is suggested that if such an association occurs, it is so rare that it could not be identified in this large regional sample.

A Population-Based Study of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Autism

TL;DR: A retrospective cohort study of all children born in Denmark from January 1991 through December 1998 finds that vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a cause of autism.

A small jab – a big effect: nonspecific immunomodulation by vaccines
TL;DR: New research suggests that the nonspecific effects of vaccines are related to cross-reactivity of the adaptive immune system with unrelated pathogens, and to training of the innate immune system through epigenetic reprogramming.

Factors underlying parental decisions about combination childhood vaccinations including MMR: A systematic review

TL;DR: Interventions should focus on detailed decision mechanisms including disease-related anticipated regret and perception of anecdotal information as statistically representative in line with parents' attitudes to combination childhood vaccinations.
