Summary: This study demonstrated that quality improvement capacity-building in primary care practices led to significant improvements in well care visit rates for children aged 3-6 years and adolescents. While the difference was not statistically significant, practices engaged in quality improvement projects showed greater increases in well care visit rates compared to non-engaged practices. Through practice facilitation, preventive visit uptake was substantially improved over time, emphasizing the importance of early intervention in promoting preventive services in primary care settings.

Summary: This cross-sectional study found high vaccination coverage rates for the National Immunization Program (NIP) in China, but there were inequities for non-NIP vaccines. These findings suggest that improving equitable coverage of non-NIP vaccines may be urgently needed to meet national immunization goals.

Summary: This study found that preventive dental visits in the previous year are associated with fewer subsequent nonpreventive dental visits and lower dental expenditures. Supporting the use of preventive dental care may improve population oral health outcomes and reduce dental costs among certain low-income adult populations, but barriers to consistent utilization of preventive dental visits limit definitive findings.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between low sleep duration (<8 hours) and positive mental health screens in adolescents. The results showed that low sleep duration was significantly associated with a positive depression screen. Furthermore, there was an interaction between sleep duration and anxiety in the association with a positive depression screen, with the association being driven by those who did not screen positive for anxiety.

Summary: The findings of a large population-based cohort study suggest that common vaccines do not have a protective effect on the risk of dementia, contradicting previous observational data.

Summary: The study aims to examine the services delivered during preventive care visits among reproductive-age women with and without chronic conditions, considering the physician specialty as well. The findings suggest that reproductive health services are more likely to be provided during preventive visits to OB/GYNs, while non-reproductive health services are less likely to be provided.

Summary: This article examines the discourse of a UK campaign group questioning aspects of companion animal vaccine policy and finds similarities to discourses in the human vaccine domain, including discussions of risk, trust in expertise, and imagining science. The article argues that these discourses align with broader social and cultural developments in healthcare.

Summary: The study examined family physicians' and general internal medicine physicians' perceptions, knowledge, and practices regarding high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV) and live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV). Many physicians believed HD-IIV is more effective for patients >= 65 years, and there was a misconception that ACIP had preferential recommendations for HD-IIV.

Summary: The study investigates the immunogenicity of COVID-19 booster vaccines produced via different technical routes after the administration of the first two doses of an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. A total of 320 healthy subjects were recruited and randomly divided into four groups. The results showed that booster immunization with a heterologous COVID-19 vaccine led to significantly higher immunogenicity compared to using the same type of vaccine for basic immunization.

Summary: The Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the first human retrovirus described and currently infects around 5 to 10 million people worldwide. Despite its high prevalence, there is still no preventive vaccine against HTLV-1 infection. This systematic review analyzed 25 selected articles and found that although potential vaccine designs are available, there is a lack of studies in the human clinical trial phase.

Summary: The study found that NFX1-123 and a subset of its known targets were increased in HPV+ HNSCCs, while LCE1B, KRT16, SPRR2G, and FBN2 were highly expressed in HNSCCs. Notch1 and CCNB1IP1 had greater expression in HPV+ HNSCCs compared to HPV- HNSCCs.

Summary: HPV 16, the most common oncogenic type of HPV, has a protein, E6, that disrupts normal cellular processes by binding cellular proteins and regulating gene expression; recent studies have found that 16E6 can also post-transcriptionally regulate cellular genes and pathways by binding cellular RNA processing and binding proteins, offering new insights for therapeutic strategies in HPV-associated cancers.
