Spreading The Cure For Mumps
2007-07-17 22:44:00 Ever wonder what the quickest way to spread a vaccination would be? Dr. Noni MacDonald , a pediatric infectious disease specialist thinks he has the answer, discounted beer...Mr. MacDonald was quoted on CBC as saying "Maybe what you could do is say if you go to the bar between 5 and 7, you could get your beer half price if you get your measles, mumps, rubella immunization updated,"That idea should get almost everyone. Who wouldn't go to a bar during suppertime to save $2 or $3 off a can of Keiths in exchange of a few needles? For those who do not drink there could even be tax free cigarettes as a second option.The reason for this comment was that young people are the hardest to reach when trying to control infectious diseases Over 450 cases of the mumps have been reported so far and it is expected to ride during the summer months.

Increased hif1[alpha] in sdh and fh deficient tumors does not cause microsa
2007-05-24 03:05:00 Germline mutations in nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial enzymes fumarate hydratase (FH) and succinate dehydrogenase (subunits SDHB/C/D) have been implicated in the development of tumor syndromes referred to as hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) and hereditary paragangliomatosis (HPGL), respectively. FH and SDH are operating in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (the TCA cycle, the Krebs ...
Functional analysis of human mlh1 variants using yeast and in vitro mismatc
2007-05-18 23:05:00 The functional characterization of nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in human mismatch repair (MMR) genes has been critical to evaluate their pathogenicity for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. We previously established an assay for detecting loss-of-function mutations in the MLH1 gene using a dominant mutator effect of human MLH1 expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The purpose of this ...
Autism, Vaccines & the Spread of Mumps - Eastern Canada
2007-05-13 10:55:00 The belief that some vaccines, or mercury based vaccine preservatives, cause or contribute to today's increasing autism rates, now estimated at 1 in 150, persists despite an almost total lack of support in the scientific community for any causal connection. The fear generated by that belief is itself believed to have contributed to higher rates of vaccine refusals with resulting increases in diseases such as measles and mumps. In Atlantic Canada we are currently suffering an outbreak of mumps, with the particular strain of mumps having orginated in the UK where immunization rates dropped from fear that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine caused autism.Health: ALERT: INFECTIONSMumps outbreak spreadsCAROLINE ALPHONSOMay 11, 2007Nova Scotia's mumps outbreak has spread to Ontario, infecting five people so far and putting public-health officials in the province on alert for even more cases in the weeks to come.The latest outbreak indicates that many who were vaccinated years ago are now ...

Nuclear localization of human dna mismatch repair protein exonuclease 1 (he
2007-05-04 17:05:00 Human exonuclease 1 (hEXO1) is implicated in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) and mutations in hEXO1 may be associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Since the subcellular localization of MMR proteins is essential for proper MMR function, we characterized possible nuclear localization signals (NLSs) in hEXO1. Using fluorescent fusion proteins, we show that the sequence ...

Risk of mumps-related aseptic meningitis minimal with current mmr vaccine f
2007-03-19 23:03:00 An epidemiological study has shown that the currently used MMR vaccine is not associated with the increased risk of mumps-virus linked aseptic meningitis caused by earlier versions. MMR vaccine used in the UK up to 1992 contained the Urabe strain of mumps virus. This was shown to be associated with an unacceptably high (although still ...

Am J Infect Control. 2006 Nov;34(9):583-7 Authors: Celikbas A, Ergonul O, Aksaray S, Tuygun N, Esener H, Tanir G, Eren S, Baykam N, Guvener E, Dokuzoguz B BACKGROUND: To investigate the immune status of health care workers (HCWs) against measles, rubella, mumps, and varicella zoster (MMRV) in Turkey and to define an appropriate vaccination program among HCWs. METHODS: Voluntary HCWs from a children’s hospital and a general hospital were included in the study between March and May 2005. The specific IgG antibodies against MMRV viruses were screened by ELISA. RESULTS: Three hundred sixty-three HCWs participated in the study; 186 (51%) were physicians, 118 (33%) were nurses, 36 (10%) were housekeeping staff, and 23 (6%) were medical technicians. The proportion of HCWs who had antibodies against measles was 98.6%; rubella, 98.3%...
