Summary: The HPV vaccination program in Tanzania was well accepted by community stakeholders in 18 councils, with adequate knowledge demonstrated by health workers and school personnel. However, continued technical support for integrating the vaccine into routine immunization activities and reinforcing basic knowledge about the vaccine in specific community groups is needed.

Summary: The aim of this study is to assess the barriers and facilitators of the current Romanian HPV vaccination campaign. The results showed that the inclusion of HPV vaccination in the National Vaccination Program is the most important factor in promoting vaccination. On the other hand, vaccine hesitancy often stems from the high cost of the vaccine and a lack of proper information.

Summary: This study investigated the attitudes of patients with a history of cervical dysplasia towards HPV vaccination and the counseling patterns of healthcare providers. The results showed that a small proportion of patients received the HPV vaccine, with a higher vaccination rate among White patients. The study also found that only a small number of patients received counseling regarding vaccination during their visits.

Summary: This review identified factors affecting HPV vaccine initiation in men, including sociodemographic factors, belief-related variables, family factors, community factors, variables related to needs, and environmental factors. Strategies targeting young males and their families, such as frequent visits to or contact with health care providers, should be implemented to increase HPV vaccination rates in men.

Summary: A new SIVS epidemic model for HPV was proposed and its global dynamics were analyzed. It was found that the critical value of pulse vaccination for susceptible females needed to control HPV, and numerical simulations agreed with theoretical findings in showing a good impact on reducing the disease.

Summary: The cost, insurance coverage, and reimbursement of the HPV vaccine were commonly reported barriers. Barriers to adolescent HPV vaccination were related to parental concerns, beliefs, and insufficient knowledge about the vaccine. Personal barriers perceived by pharmacists were related to lack of information and knowledge about the HPV vaccine. System/organization level barriers included lack of time/staff/space, difficulty in series completion, tracking and recall of patients, perceived competition with providers, and prioritization of other responsibilities/vaccines.

Summary: This study compared the colposcopic evaluation of vaccinated and unvaccinated women entering the organized cervical screening program. The results showed that the number of women positive for human papillomavirus 16/18 was lower in the vaccinated group. There was no significant difference in the detection of high-grade lesions between the vaccinated and unvaccinated women. Colposcopic examination remained a useful tool for vaccinated women participating in the cervical screening program.

Summary: This cohort study found no association between HPV vaccination and primary ovarian insufficiency. While the risk of primary ovarian insufficiency did not significantly increase after vaccination, the possibility of a clinically relevant increase in diagnosis rate cannot be ruled out due to the rarity of the outcome in this study.

Summary: A study found that among men who have sex with men, those who reported receiving the HPV vaccine before the age of 18 had a lower prevalence of penile HPV infection. This suggests that HPV vaccination is effective in preventing penile HPV infections in young men who have sex with men.

Summary: A 16-year-old girl developed fever and renal abnormalities after receiving the HPV vaccine, and was diagnosed with secondary membranous nephropathy. Although HPV proteins were not detected in the vaccine, it is possible that the vaccine triggered a pre-existing HPV infection in the patient.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a vaccine strategy bundle in increasing HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates in a specialty clinic setting. By implementing the bundle, which included staff education, provider incentives, offering vaccines in clinics, and verifying vaccine completion, the clinic successfully improved HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates among sickle cell disease patients.

Summary: The study tested the usefulness of various biomarkers as indicators of gut dysfunction in cystic fibrosis (CF) and investigated the repeatability of these measures in individuals over short periods and their correlation with clinical outcomes. The results showed that elevated levels of fLcn2 in individuals with CF may predict worsened pulmonary function.

Summary: RAE on ECG has a low positive predictive value for RAE on echocardiogram in previously healthy young patients. The highest yield for RAE on echocardiogram was observed in patients who were <1 year of age, had RAE in the anterior precordial leads, or displayed right ventricular hypertrophy on ECG.

Summary: This multicenter study reports that most infants diagnosed with idiopathic hypertension in the NICU will discontinue antihypertensive treatment within 2 years of discharge. Antenatal steroid treatment is associated with a decreased likelihood of needing antihypertensive therapy for more than 1 year.

Summary: This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of infants from NICU hospitalization to one year post-discharge. The study found that lower HRQL during NICU stay was associated with earlier gestational age, postnatal corticosteroid usage, outborn status, and gastrostomy tube placement. Lower HRQL at 3 and 12 months post-discharge was associated with readmissions, home oxygen use, parent-reported difficulty breathing, lower developmental scores, and not playing with other children. Most parents reported similar or improved HRQL after discharge, but parents of infants with respiratory symptoms experienced less improvement. Efforts to improve parent HRQL should focus on respiratory symptoms and social isolation.

Summary: This study developed reference values for cardiorespiratory fitness in children aged 6-18 years without underlying heart disease, measured by peak oxygen uptake and treadmill time. Fitness levels increased with age in males but not females. Males generally exhibited higher fitness levels compared to females in the same age groups.

Summary: This study aims to determine if children with elbow flexion contracture (EFC) caused by brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) are more likely to develop shoulder contracture and undergo surgical treatment. A retrospective review was conducted on children under 2 years old with BPBI who presented to a single children's hospital. The results showed that patients with EFC had reduced shoulder range of motion and higher odds of shoulder contracture and surgical treatment. Prompt referral to a BPBI specialty clinic is recommended for evaluation and potential surgery.
