8221; sodium cyanide is used in the prevnar manufacturing process, but trace amounts remain in the vaccine itself, according to livingston.
Effective immediately, the American Academy of Pediatrics AAP ; , the American Academy of Family Physicians AAFP ; and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC ; recommend that providers TEMPORARILY SUSPEND ROUTINE USE OF THE 4th booster ; DOSE OF PREVNAR 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or PCV7 ; . This recommendation is being made in order to conserve the vaccine supply and minimize the likelihood of shortages. Children at high risk for severe pneumococcal disease should continue to receive the 4th dose. Wyeth, the manufacturer, says that production constraints have not been fully resolved and supplies will remain limited, at least through July 2004. Until full production capacity resumes, local shortages may occur. Providers should be aware that the current allocation of doses from Wyeth will be reduced by 20 percent, and shipments will be based on current inventory. Providers with the shortest supply will receive shipments first. Even if you have an adequate inventory to continue a 4dose schedule, you should not give the 4th dose unless a child is in a high risk category. The goal is to provide equal distribution of Prevnar throughout the country and to ensure that each child receives at least 3 doses. More information on the interim recommendations can be found on the MMWR Web site and on AAP News Online. OPS.

ATHLETE FUNDING PROGRAMS The Performance Award system for Senior World Cup competitions and Senior World Championships was redesigned to more accurately reflect the goals of the USFA: that by investing in athletes competing internationally the US athletes will be able to achieve high levels of international results. Such results will give the US greater assurance in qualifying teams to the Olympic Games. The revised program reflects the expectation of the USFA concerning the rate of progress an athlete must maintain in order to reach the pinnacle of international success. This approach is consistent with the Strategic Plan adopted by the USFA Board of Directors. An athlete is considered to be at one of three levels, based on past international results and the period of time during which the athlete has achieved these results. Specific criteria have been established for each of the three levels. See Table 5-1. Fencers must meet the criteria for a given level in order to receive that level's designated training grant for the following season. Once an athlete has achieved Level I status, the athlete will remain at that level indefinitely. The athlete is eligible for the awards and training grant programs as long as the athlete achieves the results required of Level I status. The program will be in effect while an athlete is competing at the international level and permits an athlete to be absent from international competitions for one or more seasons. Seasons during which an athlete does not compete will not be considered in the determination of program level for the athlete. Level III is the entry level for the Performance program. An athlete remains at this level until the athlete has achieved a result of 32 or better at Senior "A" competitions with a strength factor of 1.5 or greater and 82 or more competitors in each of three prior seasons. For the 2002-2003 season, if the athlete has achieved such a top 32 result in three seasons since 1998, the athlete will be considered at Level II for the Performance Award program. See Table 5-1. Level II: An athlete remains at Level II for a maximum of four seasons of international competition. Any season during which an athlete does not receive a performance award at Level II will not be counted towards the maximum of four seasons. Level I: The athlete is considered at Level I after four seasons of receiving awards at Level II. For an award at any Level the "A" competition must have a minimum senior strength factor of 1.5 and a field size of 82 or higher.
Prevnar immunization dangers
Mohamoud M. Afrah consist largely of small newsletters and faction-run television and radio stations. Independentminded journalists are few and under constant threat of arrest, detention or worse. In a country that has had no judiciary or functioning court system since 1991, the warring factions have created Islamic Shari'a courts, which loom heavily over any journalists who dare to report on events that may offend faction leaders. It is well known that these leaders are highly sensitive to any form of media criticism. Last year, the Council of Clerics in northern Mogadishu announced that journalists in their geographic sphere of influence who published or broadcast "unholy propaganda and falsehoods" would be persecuted, or have their hands cut off in public. The edict was repeated in January 2001. A day later, the daily Qaran The Nation ; was banned by a Shari'a court for publishing an editorial that suggested fasting during Ramadhan be temporarily set aside due to the prevailing famine. The editorial stated that most people had nothing to look forward to when they broke their fast at sundown. Before local, heavily armed militias could arrest them, the daily's editorial staff crossed Mogadishu's Green Line, which divides the various factions in the capital city, to get to safety, where they remain. In August 2000, during the Intergovernmental Authoritybacked national reconciliation conference, a peace plan put forward by Djibouti's president, Ismael Omar Guelleh, was discussed. Following the conference, a new transitional government headed by Abdiqasim Salad Hassan was put in power in Somalia. Preparations for that government resulted in the drafting of a constitution that included provisions for press freedom. Although the United Nations supports the transitional government, the warlords, who remain the real powerbrokers in Somalia, oppose it. And as long as they run the show, any hope for immediate political stability will be dashed. Mohamoud M. Afrah was a Reuters and BBC correspondent in Somalia for more than 20 years. He has lived in Canada since 1995
Page 2 State Survey Agency Directors We have entirely revised interpretive guidelines for F329, Unnecessary Medications, including clarifications of several aspects of medication management and a new medication table that Page includes medications that are problematic to the nursing home population. We have provided an Investigative Protocol that also covers both Medication and Medication Regimen Review issues. and severity guidance for F329. For Pharmacy Services at 483.60, we have combined regulatory guidance presently at Tags F425-431 into three remaining tags, F425 Pharmacy Services, F428 Drug Regimen Review, and F431 Labeling and Storage of Drugs and Biologicals. The new guidance speaks to the provision of pharmaceutical services for the entire distribution system, from ordering and acquisition to administration and disposal of medications to assure a safe system for each resident. We have also provided severity guidance for each of these F Tags. Due to these changes to surveyor guidance in Appendix PP, we have made corresponding changes to certain survey tasks as follows: Task 5 text added that describes the assessment of pharmaceutical services; Sub-Task 5A text revised to state that each surveyor completing a medication pass observation will review drug storage on their assigned units; Sub-Task 5C text added to guide the surveyor to use the investigative protocol for F329 for each Resident Review, deleted adverse drug reactions section of 5C, part G3; and Sub-Task 5E. complete revision of text and renaming of 5E as Medication Pass and Pharmacy Services and prialt.

Local medical clinics, LPN's specifically, have become increasingly aware that they can have some effect on physicians for providing immunizations according to the MDH Imm Schedule. all of our local clinics rely on LPN's to administer vaccinations with doctor's orders ; IPI clinic visits to clinics have identified the following: 1. Clinic staff continue to have problems with appropriate spacing of some vaccines most notably some Hib formulations and Comvax ; 2. MIIC data do not correlate with the immunization data found in patient charts - probably a variety of reasons why including data entry errors, coding errors, other IT issues 3. Lack of nurses in clinics and frequent staff turnover are probably contributing factors to both of the above as well as to a lack of understanding about the MnVFC program and about vaccine usage, in general. Douglas County is working with SW MIIC to increase the reporting of all childhood immunizations. We are not at the level wanted; however there has been a significant increase in our percentage of reported childhood immunizations in 2006, as both of the largest clinics are on MIIC. With our clinics being new to MIIC, the reports reflect growth in MIIC participation rather than actual immunization levels. When we make IPI visits we analyze data for specific clinics. We do not get jurisdiction specific data for day cares. We have not received population health data for Bloomington, Edina, and Richfield from MIIC. Need to continue to work with MD's to get their information into MIIC. Upon follow up many of the immunizations were given, just not on MIIC. Analyzed polio immunization status of Amish community in Fillmore County. Reported findings to MDH and recorded individual results in MIIC. No IPI visits in 2006. Planned for 2007. Immunization practices and trends are discussed with providers at biannual meetings and frequent email communication. With our Baby Tracks we review up-to-date status on a monthly basis for participants. The targeted population for the program participants only includes those living in zip codes that the Retro Kdg study identified as having very low UTD rates. Overall, 90% of the BT participants are up to date, but that doesn't include the case managed group. Those kids are already 60 days behind on their shots and our community health workers therefore work closer with them to remove barriers. About 60% of the case managed kids are UTD. Remain stable in immunization data. Isanti County monitored clients with pertussis, influenza, preinatal hepetits B. Once a year a staff person travels to the clinic and does a CASA assessment. Work with personnel from the clinic, hospital and schools and the CHIC immunizations registry to assure all immunizations are entered. Ongoing concern about late 4th DPT and 1st MMR in a timely manner. Kandiyohi County is ahead of our regional percentage of coverage for vaccination by the age of two years according to the most recent data. Regionally, the DTaP series has the lowest coverage levels 74.8% ; . This compares with our local coverage of 81.5%. Our region has made good gains in this area when compared with previous data. Our regional goal is to have 90% of all children up to date by the age of two. Kandiyohi County is coming close to those goals. Polio, MMR, Hib and Hepatitis B are all at 87% coverage. Our lowest percentage is Prevnar at 81%, compared with the regional coverage at 76%. We are making great progress toward our goal of 90% and will continue to work hard to keep all Minnesota children vaccinated and primidone.

Widely used for decades in high energy nuclear and particle physics experiment for studying detector performance. The newest version of this simulation toolkit, Geant4, is constructed with objected oriented technology and implemented in C + Its application areas now expend to medical, accelerator and space physics studies. We report here our implementation of Geant4 simulation for studying cosmic ray shower development in the atmosphere with a realistic geomagnetic field and air density distribution. This study will provide significant detailed information about secondary cosmic ray shower particles and their distributions as a function of the altitude, the geomagnetic locations and the air density variations. The simulated results are important for understanding the measurement of primary cosmic ray spectra and probenecid.

Polysaccharide vaccine is effective in the elderly but immune responses in these individuals are suboptimal. In a previous study, we were not able to demonstrate any advantage of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine over polysaccharide vaccine in elderly adults. Since the adjuvant QS-21 has been shown to increase the antibody response to a GM2-KLH glycoconjugate melanoma vaccine, we performed a pilot study evaluating addition of QS21 to a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Thirty previously unvaccinated adults over age 65 were randomly assigned 10 subjects per group ; to receive a single IM dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine PnuImmune 23 ; , or two doses separated by 120 days of either 7-valent CRM197-conjugated vaccine Prevnar, serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, ; , or Prevnar plus 50 ug of QS-21. Serum antibody responses to the 7 serotypes were assessed on days 0, 30, 120, and 150. All vaccines were well tolerated, and addition of QS-21 to Prevnar did not result in markedly increased local pain. Subjects receiving QS-21 had significant serum antibody responses to more serotypes median 6 out of 7 possible responses ; than did those receiving Prevnar alone median 2.5 serotypes, P .11 ; or Pnu-Immune median 2 serotypes, P .07 ; . In addition, subjects receiving QS-21 had higher post-vaccination titers for most serotypes, and a greater response to revaccination than did those receiving Prevnar alone. These results indicate that QS-21 is well tolerated and could be useful when combined with polysaccharide conjugate vaccines in the elderly and procainamide.

Because the serotype 5 strain of pneumococcal bacteria has not historically circulated among people in western Canada, non-immunized people will not have specific immunity to it. However, the serotype 5 strain has not yet been seen to be causing invasive illness outbreaks in children or the general public in BC and Alberta, despite their lack of earlier childhood natural exposure or vaccine-acquired immunity. It could be the serotype 5 strain is itself not more severe than the commonly circulating strains of pneumococcal bacteria, but largely only causes severe illness in those with weakened immune systems. The universal childhood pneumocococal vaccine Prevnar includes seven bacterial serotypes, but not the serotype 5 strain. Because serotype 5 circulation in western Canada is so recent, there is not much in the published medical literature and there is still a lot to learn about this particular type of bacteria. We may not ultimately be able to totally eliminate serotype 5 pneumococcal bacteria from being carried and spread to some extent in our communities, but through immunization with Pneumo 23 we can hopefully minimize the severe disease impact on individuals and pressures on already near-capacity ICU bed utilization.

By Judy & Jeff Hoffman We remember the day our daughter was born. We remember the day our son was born. We remember the day our son was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia. These are days that are etched in our minds for eternity. We have just hit the one-year mark when Sam was diagnosed with FA. He will be turning two in February. Sam was born with right thumb duplication and with one kidney. With the exception of thumb surgery at six months, his daily routine has been remarkably "normal." On the other hand, my wife and I are just starting to learn to breathe again. We have grown up incredibly in the last year. We have become better people since the day our son was diagnosed. We have become better parents. Facing this adversity has caused us to look at everything completely differently. It is amazing how our perspective and our views about issues in life have changed so dramatically from one day to the next. Things we used to think were important no longer have the same meaning. Priorities change. We have learned so much during this past year. Whether it is from the Sam and Jeff Hoffman e-group or through personal dialogue, we have learned to see all of the fear, shared these feelings with us and anxiety, and hope that lie in each par- taught us how to deal with this crisis. ent of an FA child.

Of the world. Therefore, prototype variants from different groups could be included in subunit polyvalent vaccine against sporozoites, which could be of global use. Diagnostics for Malaria Parasite A P. falciparum blood stage antigen, glycophospholipid antigen ; was isolated from in vitro parasite culture supernatant. Analysis of chemical composition of the antigen revealed the presence of sugars such as galactosamine, galactose, mannose, glucose, rhamnose and frucose. Lipid as core structure comprised docosahexanoyl and docosanoyl and phosphate as phosphorylcholine. Malaria in Pregnancy Epidemiological and clinical data on malaria during pregnancy in Indian subcontinent are very scarce. Therefore, a prospective study was undertaken at district hospital, Mandla M.P. ; in an area where both P. vivax and P.falciparum coexist. The results revealed that at delivery, the parasitaemia in maternal peripheral blood, placental and umbilical cord blood was 12%, 26% and 12% respectively. Both P.vivax and P.falciparum were recorded from placenta and umbilical cord blood. The mean birth weight of 51 babies born to mothers with infected placentae was significantly low as compared to 150 babies born to mothers without infection. Moreover, a large number of asymptomatic pregnant women of all parity groups had subpatent parasitaemia with P.falciparum. The findings have important practical implications for the development of an effective intervention strategy and programme to reduce the impact of malaria in pregnant women. Parasite Bank The Malaria Research Centre has a well established Parasite Bank. The Bank has stock of human and non-human plasmodia which are cryopreserved and used for various in-house studies and also provided to other institutes. In addition, the bank has well characterized isolates for chloroquine sensitivity, cytoadherence, molecular marker and erythrocytic invasion properties.
