Testing the hypothesis that diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis vaccine has negative non-specific and sex-differential effects on child survival in high-mortality countries

BACKGROUND Measles vaccines (MV) have sex-differential effects on mortality not explained by protection against measles infection. OBJECTIVE The authors examined whether whole-cell diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine has sex-differential and non-specific effects. DATA SOURCES AND ELIGIBILITY Following previous reviews and a new search, the effect of DTP on mortality up to the next va...

Is diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) associated with increased female mortality? A meta-analysis testing the hypotheses of sex-differential non-specific effects of DTP vaccine

BACKGROUND Ten years ago, we formulated two hypotheses about whole-cell diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccination: first, when given after BCG, DTP increases mortality in girls and, second, following DTP there is an increase in the female/male mortality rate ratio (MRR). A recent review by WHO found no convincing evidence that DTP increases mortality in females. METHODS We used previous ...

Shapley value-based multi-objective data envelopment analysis application for assessing academic efficiency of university departments

This paper adopts a modified approach of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the academic efficiency of university departments. In real-world case studies, conventional DEA models often identify too many decision-making units (DMUs) as efficient. This occurs when the number of DMUs under evaluation is not large enough compared to the total number of decision variables. To overcome this l...

Native and alien plant species inventory and diversity in disturbed forests and its economic value

The study was conducted to assess the native and alien plant species in one of the highly disturbed forest (S1) and less disturbed forest (S2) in Mt. Manunggal, Cebu Island, Philippines. Twenty-four quadrats with a size of 20mx20 m were established using a quadrat sampling technique to identify and record all plant species.

Vaccines have sex differential non-targeted heterologous effects: a new dawn in vaccine research.

The WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on immunization recently published their conclusions from a systematic review of the ‘non-specific’ or ‘heterologous effects’ of vaccines, hailing a new era in our understanding of what vaccines do to the immune system. The report recognizes that bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine and measles vaccine (MV) may provide survival benefits agains...
