“Falls are the leading cause of traumatic injury among adults over 65 in Palm Beach County and across the country, costing the United States health care system over $80 billion each year. These falls can be debilitating, heartbreaking, and financially burdensome,” said Rep. Frankel. “But the good news is that they’re preventable!

Over the same time, serious exposures increased 15‐fold, from 30 to 450, among children younger than 13 years of age.ii Toddlers as young as 13 months old have accidentally ingested marijuana and some have required hospitalization.iii

Mpox vaccine is safe and generates a robust antibody response in adolescents
NIH clinical trial addresses knowledge gap on vaccine use in adolescent populations
October 16, 2024 – A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded clinical trial of an mpox vaccine in adolescents found it was safe and generated an antibody response equivalent to that seen in adults, according to a planned interim analysis of study data. Adolescents are among the population groups affected by mpox in the current Clade I mpox outbreak. The interim results of this trial were presented at the IDWeek2024 conference in Los Angeles.
The first human case of mpox was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Two types of the virus that causes mpox have been identified. Clade I is endemic in Central Africa and can cause severe illness. Clade II, endemic in West Africa, caused the global mpox outbreak that began in 2022 and tends to result in milder illness. People with compromised immune systems, children, and those who are pregnant are especially vulnerable to severe mpox regardless of the virus clade. A large proportion of people affected in the current Clade I outbreak in the DRC and other African countries are adolescents and children. The modified vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN) vaccine is approved in several countries for the prevention of mpox and smallpox in adults, but insufficient data are available to support licensure for people younger than 18 years.

Kidney transplantation between donors and recipients with HIV is safe
Transmission electron micrograph of HIV-1 virus particles.
NIH-funded study provides evidence on transplantation practice currently limited to research settings
OCTOBER 16, 2024 – Kidney transplantation from deceased donors with HIV (HIV D+) to recipients with HIV (HIV R+) was safe and comparable to kidney transplantation from donors without HIV (HIV D-) in a multicenter observational study in the United States. The clinical outcomes observed were consistent with smaller pilot studies, but this National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded clinical trial was the first statistically powered to demonstrate noninferiority, which means that an approach being studied is as good as standard clinical practice. The results were published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
