Worldwide, there are estimated to be 10 million cases of measles and 197,000 deaths from the disease each year. While vaccines exist to protect children against measles, the vaccines are often difficult to store, costly to transport and may be prone to contamination when shipped to developing countries. Research to be presented at the 2009 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Annual Meeting and Exposition will reveal new methods for delivering measles vaccines that could potentially reduce costs and improve safety. http://www.physorg.com/news173370185.html Medicine & Health Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:23:55 EST news173370185 The first dry powder inhalable vaccine for measles is moving toward clinical trials next year in India, where the disease still sickens millions of infants and children and kills almost 200,000 annually, according to a report presented here today at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). http://www.physorg.com/news169656057.html Medicine & Health Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:41:30 EST news169656057 More children in low-income households are receiving childhood vaccinations on schedule than in previous years, but disparities based on economic status remain, according to a report in the May issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, a theme issue on vaccines. http://www.physorg.com/news160674851.html Medicine & Health Mon, 04 May 2009 16:54:41 EST news160674851 An extensive new review summarizes the many studies refuting the claim of a link between vaccines and autism. The review, in the February 15, 2009 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases and now available online, looks at the three main hypotheses and shows how epidemiological and biological studies refute these claims. http://www.physorg.com/news152540657.html Medicine & Health Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:24:43 EST news152540657 In a case-control study, the presence of measles virus RNA was no more likely in children with autism and GI disturbances than in children with only GI disturbances. Furthermore, GI symptom and autism onset were unrelated to MMR vaccine timing. http://www.physorg.com/news139750699.html Medicine & Health Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:38:19 EST news139750699 Outbreaks of measles in developing countries may be reduced by vaccinating infants at 4.5 months of age as well as at the World Health Organization's recommended routine vaccination at 9 months, according to a study published on BMJ.com today. http://www.physorg.com/news136182520.html Medicine & Health Fri, 25 Jul 2008 05:28:40 EST news136182520
