Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vaccines have made it possible to eradicate the scourge of smallpox, promise the same for polio, and have profoundly reduced the threat posed by other diseases such as whooping cough, measles, and meningitis. What is next? There are many pathogens, autoimmune diseases, and cancers that may be promising targets for vaccine research and development. This volume provides an analytic framework and quantitative model for evaluating disease conditions that can be applied by those setting priorities for vaccine development over the coming decades. The committee describes an approach for comparing potential new vaccines based on their impact on morbidity and mortality and on the costs of both health care and vaccine development. The book examines: Lessons to be learned from the polio experience. Scientific advances that set the stage for new vaccines. Factors that affect how vaccines are used in the population. Value judgments and ethical questions raised by comparison of health needs and benefits. The committee provides a way to compare different forms of illness and set vaccine priorities without assigning a monetary value to lives. Their recommendations will be important to anyone involved in science policy and public health planning: policymakers, regulators, health care providers, vaccine manufacturers, and researchers.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BackgroundFor decades in-patient rehabilitation has been and still is a constituent component within the individualised guidance concept of patients with RA. Because of significantly improved drug therapy over the recent years, priorities and objectives of stationary rehabilitation of RA-patients have changed. Which patients will benefit the most of an in-house rehabilitation and treatment?MethodWith consent of the members of the Austrian Rehabilitation Task Force a mailing containing a survey was sent out to all of them (n=12, mainly Medical Directors in medical rehabilitation centres).The survey had been taken using standardized questions to find out which patients would profit and gain benefits from an in-house rehabilitation. All the answers were merged in form and content to be ranked by significance within a meeting of the Task Force via voting.ResultsStationary rehabilitation is most beneficial to patients with 1. Functional deficits, 2. Training needs, 3. Jeopardized working ability, 4. Health care deficits because of distance to residence, 5. Short term disease, 6. Accompanying psychosocial stressors, 7. Inadequate or insufficient complianceDiscussionThe members of the Task Force do recommend a inpatient rehabilitation for each and every patient diagnosed with RA as soon as possible after finally stating the diagnosis for him/her to be provided with fundamental knowledge regarding their condition. Further in-house treatments should follow as the disease progresses u2013 especially if functional deficits increase or their working ability is jeopardized as a side effect of the illness. Individual concomitant factors such as comorbidities and general rehab-aptitude of the patient must be taken into consideration upon medical indication of treatment.There is a necessity for patients with high disease activity to optimize medication prior to stationary rehab. Patients with a lack of compliance should only have the opportunity for an in-house rehabilitation with pointing it out as a u201clast chanceu201d for change.A thorough and complete transmission of all relevant information will help secure a treatment quickly and focused on his/her needs.ConclusionEven in times of better and improved drug therapy patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis will profit from an in-house rehabilitation.Careful and targeted selection of patients with the appropriate timing within the progression of the disease can only be done after comprehensive analysis and evaluation of concomitant factors.
