    Immunocompromised patients are vulnerable to severe or complicated influenza infection. Vaccination is widely recommended for this group. This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses influenza vaccination for immunocompromised patients in terms of preventing influenza-like illness and laboratory confirmed influenza, serological response and adverse events

    Influenza Infections in Solid Organ and Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

    No full text
    Influenza virus is a common respiratory virus in solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients. Influenza infection in immunocompromised hosts can result in severe disease, as compared to general population. Risk factors for severe influenza infection in transplant recipients include treatment with antilymphocyte globulin, presence of lower respiratory disease, and infection early after transplantation. Transplant programs should act to optimize prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of influenza infection in this population in order to achieve better transplant outcomes

    Curie temperature of weakly shocked target basalts at the Lonar impact crater, India

    The study investigates Curie temperature (TC), bulk magnetic susceptibility, hysteresis, and X-ray diffraction pattern of in situ target basalts of Lonar impact crater, India. The main magnetic phase in the target basalt is low-Ti titanomagnetite. This study reveals an increase in TC and decrease in magnetic susceptibility and in full width at half maxima of the 311 peaks of titanomagnetite with distance from the crater center. Changes in crystal lattice of titanomagnetite, such as straining of 311 peaks, decrease in apparent crystallite size, and grain fragmentation may be among the possible reasons for the observed trends in TC and magnetic susceptibility. However, they both do not show any correlation between each other, indicating that different shock-induced processes affect them
