Airway delivery of soluble mycobacterial antigens restores protective mucosal immunity by single intramuscular plasmid DNA tuberculosis vaccination: role of proinflammatory signals in the lung.

13 Oct 2008 Protection by parenteral immunization with plasmid DNA vaccines against pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is very modest. In this study, we have investigated the underlying mechanisms for the poor mucosal protective efficacy and the avenues and ... Read more...

Musculoskeletal injections: a review of the evidence.

13 Oct 2008 Injections are valuable procedures for managing musculoskeletal conditions commonly encountered by family physicians. Corticosteroid injections into articular, periarticular, or soft tissue structures relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve ... Read more...

Protecting Indian schoolchildren against rabies: pre-exposure vaccination with purified chick embryo cell vaccine (PCECV) or purified verocell rabies vaccine (PVRV).

29 Sep 2008 Although rabies can be effectively prevented by means of preexposure or post-exposure prophylaxis, in India, an estimated 17,000 to 20,000 human rabies deaths occur annually. Tragically, 50% of these victims are children under the age of 15. In ... Read more...
