Prevalence of measles susceptibility among health care workers in a UK hospital. Does the UK need to introduce a measles policy for its health care workers
E. Ziegler,C. Roth,T. Wreghitt +2 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of measles non-immune health care workers is low, but with a fall in uptake of MMR immunization and increased likelihood of measles outbreaks, it is important to identify these at-risk individuals.

"3 . . 2 . . 1 . . Impact [factor]: target [academic career] destroyed!": just another statistical casualty.
TL;DR: The original intent of publication—to inform others of findings and further scientific knowledge—has been corrupted by factors including exponential growth of journals and the journal industry; and adoption of journal metrics (rather than written content) as the measure of scientific quality.

Journal ArticleDOI
Spironolactone might be a desirable immunologic and hormonal intervention in autism spectrum disorders.
TL;DR: Spironolactone possesses potent anti-inflammatory and immune modifying properties that might make it an excellent medical intervention for autism spectrum disorders, particularly in a definable subset of hyperandrogenic autistic children.

Abnormal intestinal permeability in children with autism.
Patrizia D'Eufemia,Mauro Celli,R. Finocchiaro,Lucia Pacifico,L Viozzi,M. Zaccagnini,Ettore Cardi,Omero Giardini +7 more
TL;DR: It is speculated that an altered intestinal permeability could represent a possible mechanism for the increased passage through the gut mucosa of peptides derived from foods with subsequent behavioural abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A neurochemical theory of autism
TL;DR: Panksepp et al. as discussed by the authors put forward the idea that autism is an emotional disturbance arising from an upset in the opiate systems in the brain, and hence proposed, as a possibility, opiate antagonist therapy for the autistic syndrome.
