The effects of Dengue Vaccine in Healthy Children involving children and adolescents between the ages of 4 and 16

Dengue Vaccines

Dengue fever is a pandemic-prone viral disease whose prevalence has increased by a factor of 30 in the last 50 years. Nearly half of the world's population lives in dengue-endemic areas in more than 100 countries, with an estimated 390 million cases of dengue virus infection each year. Dengue fever can range from asymptomatic infection to severe disease with a 20% mortality rate if left untreated. Dengue virus serotypes through (DENV-1 through DENV-4) frequently cocirculate in endemic areas. Although the infecting serotype provides decades of protective immunity, secondary infection with a different serotype increases the risk of severe disease.

CYD-TDV (Dengvaxia, Sanofi Pasteur), a tetravalent dengue vaccine based on a yellow fever virus "backbone," has been licenced in several countries based on a 56 to 61 percent vaccine efficacy against virologically confirmed dengue in children in Asia and Latin America. Because CYD-TDV is associated with an increased risk of severe dengue and dengue leading to hospitalization in seronegative people, it is recommended that it be given only to people who have had a previous infection. This leaves a significant unmet need.

TAK-003 (Takeda) is a new tetravalent dengue vaccines candidate based on a live attenuated DENV-2 virus that serves as the genetic backbone for all four viruses in the vaccine, which were originally designed and constructed by scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Vector-Borne Diseases (CDC). The DENV-2 strain (TDV-2) is based on DEN-2 primary dog kidney (PDK)-53, an attenuated laboratory-derived virus. The other three virus strains (TDV-1, TDV-3, and TDV-4) are chimaeras formed by replacing TDV-2's premembrane and envelope genes with those of wild-type DENV-1, DENV-3, and DENV-4 strains.

The efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of two doses of TAK-003 are currently being evaluated in a large-scale, phase 3, randomised clinical trial involving children and adolescents aged 4 to 16 in Latin America and Asia (Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of Takeda's Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine in Healthy Children [TIDES]). We present the preliminary results of the first phase of this ongoing trial.

The Art of Sabrage: Opening Champagne Bottles in Style

Image
Champagne   The opening of a champagne bottle is often accompanied by a sense of anticipation and celebration. While traditional methods involve carefully removing the cork, there exists a fascinating technique that takes this experience to a whole new level: sabrage. Sabrage is the art of opening a champagne bottle with a sabaler, creating a dramatic and memorable spectacle that adds an element of grandeur to any occasion. Derived from the French word "sabre," which means sword, sabrage requires skill, precision, and a touch of bravado. The process involves using a sharp-edged blade to strike the lip of the bottle, precisely at the seam where the glass meets the cork. The impact, combined with the internal pressure of the carbonated champagne, causes the glass to break cleanly, separating the neck of the bottle from the base in a spectacular display of flying cork and shards. According to Coherent Market Insights , the Champagne Market Size , Share, Outlook, and Opportun

Enhancing Energy Efficiency with Silicone Sealants in Buildings

Image
  Silicone Sealants In the pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainability, silicone sealants play a crucial role in building construction and maintenance. These versatile sealants offer several benefits that contribute to reducing energy consumption and enhancing the overall efficiency of buildings. One of the primary advantages of silicone sealants in improving energy efficiency is their ability to create airtight seals. Air leakage through gaps, cracks, and joints is a significant source of energy loss in buildings. Silicone sealants effectively seal these areas, preventing the infiltration of outside air and the escape of conditioned air, thereby reducing heating and cooling loads. By minimizing air leakage, buildings can maintain stable indoor temperatures, reduce the strain on HVAC systems, and decrease energy usage. Silicone sealants also contribute to moisture control, another crucial aspect of energy efficiency. Moisture intrusion can lead to mold growth, structural damage
