  1. Article ; Online: Long COVID: Alice Evans, Brucellosis, and Reflections on Infectious Causes of Chronic Disease.

    Smith, Tara C

    Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America

    2023  Volume 77, Issue 12, Page(s) 1644–1647

    Abstract: ... that of American Society for Microbiology past president Alice C. Evans. Accidentally infected ...

    Abstract Despite more than a century of research on the link between infection and chronic diseases, we again find ourselves flummoxed by a new pathogen that causes long-term impairment. Patients have reported being ignored or minimized, resources are lacking for diagnosis and treatment, and frustrated individuals are turning outside of the scientific profession for answers. The experience mirrors that of American Society for Microbiology past president Alice C. Evans. Accidentally infected with Brucella melitensis during her laboratory research, Evans was chronically ill for more than 20 years, during which time friends, colleagues, and physicians cast doubt on her illness. As a result, she argued passionately for improved diagnostics and for those who reported chronic infection to be taken seriously rather than presumed to be "malingering" or using their illness for financial benefit. Lessons from Evans' experience are useful as we work toward understanding long COVID and patients suffering from the condition.

    Abstract Misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories about vaccines are key drivers of vaccine hesitancy. A repeated false claim about COVID-19 vaccines is that the vaccines cause female infertility. Dating back decades, various conspiracy theories have linked vaccination programs with infertility and thus harmed vaccination programs in Africa, Asia, and Central America, particularly against polio and tetanus. In the United States, Europe, and Australia, human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines have been falsely blamed for infertility and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). After distribution of COVID-19 vaccines began in December 2020, almost immediately there arose conspiracy theories claiming that these vaccines cause menstrual irregularities, miscarriages, and infertility, promoted by noted antivaccine activists Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Andrew Wakefield among others. Here we will explore the history of this antivaccine narrative, how it has been promulgated in the past and repurposed to COVID-19 vaccines, and strategies to counter it.

    Abstract Background: Measles was eliminated from the United States in 2000, following a change from a single dose of measles vaccine to two doses after an epidemic 1989-1991. Several college campuses experienced outbreaks, including Kent State University (KSU) in Ohio.
    Methods: Local news media from 1988 to 1989 were searched in August 2019. Interventions taken by the university were recorded, and an epidemic curve constructed.
    Results: The first measles cases were reported in October 1988. The outbreak diminished over winter break. New cases were confirmed in February 1989. Infected students were instructed to vacate the dorms. Vaccines were mandated for student groups. The epidemic grew rapidly in March but slowed after spring break. By April, 380 cases had been reported and 7000 students vaccinated.
    Conclusions: KSU was one of the hardest-hit universities during the 1989 measles epidemic. A combination of vaccination, isolation, quarantine, and elimination of public events helped to curtail the epidemic.

  6. Article ; Online: Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination Development: From Reflecting Clinical Practice to Ensuring Lifelong Learning.

    Myers, Tara / Chappell, Kathy / Godwin, Cherith / Krissel, Jeanna / Ramirez, Jeffery / Smith, Justin

    Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association

    2024  , Page(s) 10783903241240075

    Abstract: ... to participate in the examination process to ensure examination rigor, and (c) advance their careers ...

    Abstract Objective: Certifications in psychiatric-mental health nursing promote safe practice by psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) and nurses (PMHNs) and help protect the public from harm. This protection begins with the development of an examination that meets rigorous national education, practice, and accreditation standards and reflects PMHNPs' or PMHNs' clinical practice. Achievement and maintenance of a certification is a journey that involves a commitment to lifelong learning and the improvement of the field of psychiatric-mental health nursing through involvement in the examination process.
    Methods: This discussion paper outlines the role nurses can play in the development of certification examinations. It describes the process of developing an effective certification examination, including the role of standards, accrediting bodies, and content experts; determining necessary tasks, knowledge, and skills; surveying practitioners to validate information; writing test questions; and ongoing analysis of examination content. The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (across the lifespan) Certification (PMHNP-BC) is presented as an example of the process.
    Results: This discussion paper raises awareness of how certification exams are developed, PMHNPs participate in certification development, and volunteering promotes career development.
    Conclusion: The PMHNP-BC examination is based on education, practice, and certification accreditation standards and reflects current clinical practice. PMHNPs can (a) point to the rigor of certification as an indication of the quality of care they deliver, (b) volunteer to participate in the examination process to ensure examination rigor, and (c) advance their careers through the development and application of a valuable skill set.

    Abstract Vaccine refusal has been a recurring story in the media for well over a decade. Although there is scant evidence that refusal is genuinely increasing in the population, multiple studies have demonstrated concerning patterns of decline of confidence in vaccines, the medical professionals who administer vaccines, and the scientists who study and develop vaccines. As specialists in microbiology, immunology, and infectious diseases, scientists are content experts but often lack the direct contact with individuals considering vaccination for themselves or their children that healthcare professionals have daily. This review examines the arguments and players in the US antivaccination scene, and it discusses ways that experts in infectious diseases can become more active in promoting vaccination to friends, family, and the public at large.

    Abstract This article draws on a broadcast popular among the anti-vaccine community to map out six themes used by the broadcast to mislead viewers about COVID-19. The themes are the claim that "they" - government and pharma - are lying to you, claims that COVID-19 is an excuse to remove civil liberties, viewing everyone as an expert, claiming that science cannot save us, skewing the science, and a claim that "they" are out to harm the viewers. The article points out that similar themes are used to mislead followers with anti-vaccine information. It highlights the concern that these themes will not only mislead people who are already anti-vaccine about the pandemic, but may draw in people who are not anti-vaccine but are seeking information about COVID-19, and suggests some options for dealing with the misinformation. Scientists benefit from understanding these claims, as we are often tasked with providing rebuttals to this misinformation.
