  • Inpatient data were abstracted by FMAS Corporation ** (Columbia, Maryland) from hospital medical records and linked to Medicare pneumococcal vaccine billing data for 1991 through 1995 and influenza vaccine billing data for September-December 1994, the periods for which data are available. (cdc.gov)
  • The analysis for pneumococcal vaccine excluded data for beneficiaries who were enrolled in a managed-care plan at any time during 1991-1995 (n=500), and the influenza vaccine analysis excluded data for beneficiaries who were enrolled at any time during September-December 1994 (n=70) because plans do not bill Medicare for vaccinations.

  • A molecule consisting of only three adjoined sugars was sufficient to protect against the pneumococcal strain ST8 in mice. (mpg.de)
  • During pneumonia, aged mice had reduced levels of pIgR and PAFr and less NFkB activation, despite greater bacterial burden. (uthscsa.edu)
  • Aged mice and, potentially, elderly humans are more susceptible to pneumonia because of a priming effect of chronic inflammation and Toll-like receptor dysfunction. (uthscsa.edu)

  • AIM: To evaluate efficacy of sublingual flagellin to treat acute pneumonia. (hal.science)
  • Serotype 19A was the major serotype for all vaccine types in patients with pneumococcal pneumonia and severity of acute inflammatory response was reduced in vaccinated patients. (biomedcentral.com)

  • For most seniors, a pneumococcal immunization is considered a 'once in a lifetime' event, so these rates show the 'cumulative' percent of residents who've ever had a pneumococcal immunization, as defined by physician tariff codes 8681-8684 or 8961 in MIMS data. (umanitoba.ca)

  • The new integrated global action plan for the prevention and control of pneumonia and diarrhoea2 gives the global community an historic opportunity to end preventable child deaths, by focusing on pneumonia and diarrhoea in particular, which together account for 26% of all under-five deaths.

  • Aging is associated with increased inflammation and risk of community-acquired pneumonia. (uthscsa.edu)
  • In total, 983 children diagnosed with community-acquired pneumococcal pneumonia were enrolled between January 2010 and December 2015. (biomedcentral.com)
