An unexpected resurgence of pertussis cases and infant deaths was observed in some countries that had switched to acellular vaccines the primary immunisation schedule. In response outbreaks, maternal vaccination programmes pregnant women have been adopted worldwide, including USA 2011 UK 2012. Following success programme England, we evaluated health economic impact stopping versus continuing in...

Dispersion of 2D carbon nitride (C3N4) nanosheets into a nickel phosphorous (NiP) matrix was successfully achieved by ultrasonication during the electroless plating of NiP from an acidic bath. The morphology and thickness, elemental analysis, phases, roughness, and wettability for as-plated and heat-treated nanocomposite were determined by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray s...

Single lymph node cells from rats immunized with a conjugate of 3-iodo-4-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl acetic acid chloride (NIP) and chicken globulin were tested against either NIP or NNP conjugated with bacteriophage. NNP is related to NIP but has a nitro group instead of iodine. The conjugated phages were still infective but easily inactivated by anti-hapten sera at a serum concentration of 10(-7). ...
