  • What limitations to existing vaccines do the authors mention as problems in the Nigerian context?…

    Efficacy of a Low-Cost, Heat-Stable Oral Rotavirus Vaccine in Niger 1. What limitations to existing vaccines do the authors mention as problems in the Nigerian context? • Supply vaccines on a large scale • Price of vaccines require subsidies • Unreliable transportation and storage systems make delivery of vaccines that require refrigeration difficult. 2. Describe the characteristics of the vaccine being tested in this study? What do each of the terms mean in “oral bovine rotavirus pentavalent vaccine”? (hint: refer to the paper cited that describes development of this vaccine) • 3. The study is described as a “double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase 3, event-driven trial”. What does this mean? Explain how subjects were allocated to treatment or placebo and how were the investigators and subjects blinded? (hint: refer to the paper cited that describes development of this vaccine) • Double-blind study is one in which neither the participants nor the experimenters know who is receiving a particular treatment. It is useful in preventing bias from placebo effect. • Placebo-controlled is where the participants are given placebo which is an inactive drug that have no effect. The result from placebo controlled trials are used to compare with treatment effect. • Randomized is when participants are allocated at random to receive either control or treatment test. It is used to remove bias from possibilities and to assess for effectiveness of treatment. • Phase 3 is when the drug is tested on patient to assess its efficacy, effectiveness and safety. • Event driven trial is the observation and record of patient outcomes in the duration of the study. 4. How was the incidence of gastroenteritis monitored in these infants? What approach was used to determine whether each case of gastroenteritis was caused by rotavirus? • Assessment of efficacy 5. Efficacy analysis was performed using the per-procotol population, while other comparisons between groups were made on the intention-to-treat populations. What is the difference and why are different treatment group sets used for the different analyses? • 6. Draw a figure showing effects of the vaccine on total and rotavirus gastroenteritis rates for the intention-to-treat population in this study (Hint: you can find the data in Table 2). Were these effects significant and where did you find this information? Please bring your answer to this question as a graph/figure on a USB so we can project it. 7. Explain Figure 2A. What proportion of infants remained free of rotavirus at the end of the follow-up period in the placebo and vaccine-treated groups? Was this statistically different, and what statistical test was used to compare the incidence over time between groups?

For example some religious prohibit blood transfusion or organ donation Respecting the health care choices of others, even if they are not choices you would recommend or select yourself It means undeestanding that each individual is unique, and reconising our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race Equal opportunity Differences in cultural understanding can lead to racism, prejudice and stereotyping. When communicating within your role, you will need to use your skills and knowledge appropriately in order to engage clients and colleagues in a way that shows respect and facilitates a healthy relationship. Showing respect for cultural diversity through communication shows sensitivity and awareness of both the messages we are sending and also receiving, if we do not share a common communication pattern. Valuing diversity means that we acknowledge and respect the culture, religious background and previous experiences of all people, irrespective of their gender, ethnicity or beliefs. Diversity comes in many forms.

    The present labor force can produce 500 units per month. Each employee added can produce an additional 20 units per month and is paid $1000 per month. The cost of materials is $30 per unit. Overtime can be used at the usual premium of time and a half for labor up to a maximum of 10 percent per month. Inventory-carrying cost is $50 per unit per year. Changes in production level cost $100 per unit due to hiring, line changeover costs, and so forth. Assume 200 units of initial inventory. Extra capacity may be obtained by subcontracting at an additional cost of $15 per unit over and above the company’s producing them itself on regular time.
    Provide a detailed cost breakdown for using a level vs. a chase strategy to meet the increased demand.
    Which strategy do you recommend?
    How much savings would result from the plan you recommend?
