Have You Surfed the Site Lately?

By Frank M. Painter|May 22, 2009|General, News|

Although our “front page” is now a Blog, all our original Sections are still available on the left-hand ToolBar under Resources. They are all still updated frequently.

Many of these Sections have their own Search Tool built into them, so you can find what you want easily.

In fact, we also have a nifty Search Page which can look site-wide (via Google) or can explore each section individually. This will reduce the number of “hits” you get with any search, making it much easier to find what you want.

Do you know how to do a Boolean Search?? Enjoy!

Here’s an except from ScienceDaily.com with the original presentation information;

Children Who Get Flu Vaccine Have Three Times Risk Of Hospitalization For Flu, Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (2009-05-20) — The inactivated flu vaccine does not appear to be effective in preventing influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially the ones with asthma. In fact, children who get the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than their peers who do not get the vaccine, according to new research. While these findings do raise questions about the efficacy of the vaccine, they do not in fact implicate it as a cause of hospitalizations, according to researchers.

Original presentation made at the American Thoracic Society’s International Conference in San Diego, CA (May 15-20, 2009):

This is likely due to the configuration or “anatomy” of a virus particle. You can read more of the report about a presentation made at the American Society for Microbiology meeting in Philadelphia.
