This document discusses the history and development of vaccinations. It notes that the first vaccines were created in 1796 for smallpox, and since then vaccines have been developed for many other diseases like polio, measles, and mumps. It also lists over 20 diseases for which vaccines have been created. The document explains how vaccines work by using weakened or killed strains of viruses or bacteria to allow the immune system to develop antibodies without causing illness. Finally, it acknowledges some common criticisms of vaccinations but does not take a position on their validity.

Vaccine Controversies with Seth Mnookin (NPF Vaccine Webinar Series)
This document summarizes vaccine controversies throughout history in 3 sentences or less per topic:
[1] Smallpox vaccination faced resistance since it began in the late 18th century, and early vaccines had safety issues like a contaminated yellow fever vaccine infecting 300,000 soldiers in WWII.
[2] The polio vaccine success in the 1950s was briefly marred by a manufacturer's faulty batch that caused paralysis, and the pertussis vaccine faced skepticism over side effects despite reducing a major childhood killer.
[3] Recent controversies include links alleged between vaccines and autism based on since-discredited research, mercury-based preservative scares, HPV vaccine politics, and international incidents like
The usage trend of autologous stem cell
The document discusses the growth rates of autologous (one's own) versus allogeneic (from another person) use of cord blood. It finds that while allogeneic use is currently much higher, autologous use is growing exponentially. If autologous cord blood therapy proves effective for conditions like cerebral palsy, demand for autologous cord blood could exceed that of allogeneic cord blood. Medical opinions ignoring the fast growth of autologous cord blood use for regenerative medicine are not evidence-based.
Predonated Autologous Blood Transfusion in Elective Orthopaedic
The use of homologous blood carries significant risk of viral infections and immune-mediated reactions.
Preoperative autologous blood donation is an attractive alternative to homologous transfusion and has become common
in elective orthopaedic surgery.
HIV Vaccine Development Strategies
This document summarizes different strategies for developing an HIV vaccine, outlining the challenges and current state of different vaccine types. It discusses how vaccines could potentially prevent or treat HIV infection, and highlights the obstacles like HIV's ability to mutate and target immune cells. Different vaccine types currently in clinical trials are described, including peptides, DNA, live vectors, and recombinant proteins. The largest vaccine trial to date, AIDSVAX, is summarized as stimulating antibodies but not proving effective against HIV.
Global Stem Cell Market - Brief Overview
This presentation gives a brief overview of global stem cell market. It first explains what are stem cells and the various types of stem cells. Then we take a look at R&D in the area of stem cell therapies, also called Regenerative Medicine. It then gives a brief overview of some of the global companies active in regenerative medicine space. It is a very nascent area globally, with very few therapies in the market.
In India, there are a few companies like Stempeutics, Reliance Lifesciences and OCT Research focussing on stem cell therapies. Some of these have made false starts, and made a few wrong bets. OCT, a new company, has a promising approach to wound treatment.
Shot(s) Happen: The Importance of Childhood Vaccines in the 21st Century
- Vaccines have helped eradicate many deadly diseases like smallpox and have greatly reduced cases of polio, measles, and others. However, some argue vaccines may cause harm.
- While early vaccines had issues, modern vaccines are very safe due to extensive testing. Risks of diseases like measles and pertussis far outweigh any vaccine risks. Recent outbreaks show the dangers of low vaccination rates.
- Though some claim vaccines aren't needed or cause autism and other harms, numerous studies have disproven these claims. Vaccine hesitancy poses risks and has led to outbreaks, so it is important to make informed decisions based on scientific evidence.
Introductory Microbiology Lecture 1
This document provides an overview of the field of microbiology. It discusses the history of microbiology from early pioneers like Van Leeuwenhoek who invented the microscope to observe microbes. It also covers key topics like the germ theory of disease, Koch's postulates, sterilization techniques, and the classification of microbes. Examples are given of important bacteria isolated in the late 19th century and some significant microbiology issues of the past few decades like Ebola, SARS, and antibiotic-resistant infections.
Swine Flu
Swine flu is a respiratory disease in pigs caused by influenza A virus that has recently infected humans. It first emerged in Mexico in early 2009 and quickly spread globally in a pandemic. Symptoms are similar to seasonal flu but it can lead to pneumonia or death in some cases. Researchers are working to develop a vaccine and contain its spread through public health measures while learning more about its origins and transmission.

1. The document discusses various sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including syphilis, herpes, chancroid, and more.
2. It provides details on the stages and symptoms of syphilis such as chancre sores in primary syphilis and rashes in secondary syphilis.
3. The infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study is summarized, which withheld treatment from African American men with syphilis without their consent between 1932-1972.
AIDS and Its Oral Manifestation
HIV causes AIDS by attacking CD4 cells of the immune system. It enters cells through binding to CD4 and CXCR4/CCR5 receptors, integrating its RNA into the cell's DNA. This leads to increased viral load and decreased CD4 count over many years until opportunistic infections define AIDS. Globally, HIV has infected over 75 million people and claimed over 32 million lives since the early 1980s.
Vaccines and their effect on public health
The document discusses the history and science of vaccines. It begins with a brief history of vaccines from ancient concepts of inoculation to Jonas Salk's creation of the polio vaccine in the 1950s. It then explains how most vaccines work by using weakened or dead microbes to stimulate the immune system to create memory cells that provide long-term protection. The document also notes that vaccines have led to the eradication of deadly diseases and establish herd immunity. However, it acknowledges there is an anti-vaccine debate centered around disproven claims about links between vaccines and autism or harmful ingredients like thimerosal.
Eid presentation doc1
The document discusses emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. It covers topics like epidemiological transitions over history that have led to new diseases. It also discusses the factors that cause emergent infections like population growth, globalization, and environmental degradation. Specific diseases that have emerged like HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and SARS are examined. It discusses how infectious diseases ignore borders and the need for international cooperation. It emphasizes the importance of early detection and response to emerging diseases to take advantage of windows of opportunity before they spread out of control.

emergence and remergence of food borne disease food mcrobiology
This document discusses emerging and re-emerging foodborne pathogens. It notes that new pathogens can emerge when unrecognized pathogens are identified and linked to food transmission, or when known pathogens are found to transmit through food. Major emerging pathogens discussed include Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), non-O157 STEC, hybrid E. coli types, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Campylobacter species, and Arcobacter species. The document emphasizes that changes in food production systems can create new opportunities for pathogens to emerge or re-emerge, and advocates a proactive, multi-pronged approach to research and control of emerging food safety hazards.
Aids
HIV was identified in 1984 as the virus that causes AIDS. It attacks T-lymphocytes, decreasing their numbers and causing the immune system to fail. HIV can be transmitted via blood transfusions, from mother to child during pregnancy, or through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS yet, but treatment can control the virus and enable people to live healthy lives. World AIDS Day is observed annually on December 1st to commemorate those lost to the disease and continue efforts to end the epidemic.
20150910 DW Debate: Dr David Strangway - Medical research in angola 1900 - 1967
20150910 DW Debate: Dr David Strangway - Medical research in angola 1900 - 1967Development Workshop Angola
Dr. David Strangway was the keynote speaker at Angola’s 4th National Conference on Science and Technology. His presentation, made on Thursday, September 10 2015, was titled "Medicine and Medical Research in the Angola Highlands, 1900-1967".
Dr. Strangway grew up in Angola in the 1940s and 1950s. Dr. Strangway is a renown Canadian academic and scientist and member of Development Workshop’s international advisory board. His father and mother came to Angola in 1927 and spent 40 years working in the fields of medicine, public health, nutrition and agricultural.
His presentation was based on research that he is carrying out using public access archives in Angola, Portugal, Canada and the USA together with his own family records dating back to when his family worked in Angola. Dr. Strangway demonstrated evidence of the pioneering research that Congregational and later United Church medical practitioners did, dating back to the late 19th century. Early investigation into chronic tropical diseases such as malaria, sleeping sickness, leporacy and tuberculosis were done by his parents.
Dr. Strangway demonstrated statistics on the dramatic reduction in mortality that was achieved in the 1950s when his parent’s hospital at Chissamba in Bie Province began to have access to new modern medicines. Dr. Strangway’s mother worked on nutritional research and local herbal medical plants. His father not only built the 140 bed hospital and 83 village clinics, but conducted a remarkable 40,000 surgical operations over his 40 years in Angola.
The presentation was followed by comments from the conference chairperson and the floor noting that despite progress in medical research and vaccination campaigns, diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis are still chronic in AngolaPower point presentation -The History of HIV/AIDS
The document summarizes the history and origins of HIV/AIDS, beginning with the first reported cases in 1981 among homosexual men in the US. It describes the identification of the virus (HIV) in 1983 and its links to similar viruses found in African primates like chimpanzees (SIV). Theories suggest the virus crossed over to humans through activities like bushmeat hunting and processing or vaccine production in Africa in the early 20th century. By the 1980s HIV/AIDS had spread globally and become a major epidemic affecting millions of people.
Presentation1 Penicillin
Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 by accident. Before antibiotics, bacterial infections routinely killed millions as there were no effective treatments. Fleming was studying influenza when he noticed a mold in his lab that prevented bacterial growth, which he identified as penicillin. Penicillin proved effective against certain bacteria like streptococcus and helped reduce deaths from infections. It revolutionized medicine and led to advances like organ transplants. However, overuse of antibiotics has led to increased resistance from bacteria over time.
Antibiotic History
The document discusses the history of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. It describes some of the key events in the discovery of antibiotics like penicillin and sulfonamides. It also discusses the emergence of resistant bacteria like MRSA and how bacteria can develop resistance through mechanisms such as modifying antibiotic targets, inactivating enzymes, or pumping antibiotics out of the cell. The evolution of antibiotic resistance is an ongoing process driven by selective pressure from antibiotic use.
Infectious Diseases introduction and history.ppt
This document provides information on infectious diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. It discusses anthrax and plague, both caused by bacteria - anthrax by Bacillus anthracis and plague by Yersinia pestis. It describes the symptoms and transmission of cutaneous, inhalation, and intestinal anthrax as well as bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic plague. It also briefly discusses ebola and smallpox, both viral diseases. The document provides an overview of infectious diseases and the bacteria and viruses that cause them.
Infectious Disease Epidemiology
This document provides an overview of infectious disease epidemiology. It begins with a brief history of some major infectious disease outbreaks and their impacts. It then discusses concepts and definitions relevant to infectious disease epidemiology, including reservoirs, modes of transmission, epidemiological triad, and terminology. The document outlines the importance of studying infectious disease epidemiology and highlights current challenges like antimicrobial resistance and emerging/re-emerging pathogens. It also summarizes successes in disease eradication/elimination and the ongoing global burden of infectious diseases.
AM USe.pptx
This document provides a historical overview of antimicrobial use from pre-antibiotic era treatments to the modern timeline of antibiotic discovery. It describes how ancient cultures used molds and plants to treat infections before the germ theory of disease was established. The work of Leeuwenhoek, Pasteur and Koch helped prove that specific microbes cause specific illnesses. Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 but it was mass produced for medical use starting in the 1940s. The "golden age" of antibiotic discovery occurred from the 1940s-1960s with drugs like streptomycin, chloramphenicol and erythromycin. However, antibiotic resistance emerged soon after each new drug. Now few new classes have been discovered since 1987 and

Pub health history
The document compares public health across different eras from 1800 to 2012. [1] In the 1800s, life expectancy was low, child mortality was high, and access to healthcare was limited. [2] Conditions improved somewhat by the Victorian era of 1850, but overcrowded housing and contaminated water led to ongoing disease issues. [3] By 2012, with the establishment of programs like the NHS, life expectancy increased dramatically, child mortality decreased, and access to modern healthcare and medicines was widely available.
