Abstract: This review paper provides an overview of innovative technologies designed to produce bacterial, viral, recombinant subunit, and polysaccharide vaccines, as well as combination vaccines. Advances in this field are illustrated by vaccines against DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis), influenza, hepatitis B (HepB) and typhoid fever. In addition, technological trends regarding antigens, adjuvants, and preservatives in vaccines are discussed. The progress achieved in vaccine production technologies is especially important for improving the protection of vulnerable populations against infectious diseases. These at-risk groups include infants, the elderly and immunocompromized individuals, as well as people living in developing countries or emerging economies.

Article Peritoneal-mediastinal leakage complication of peritoneal dialysis. 2003
Kim YL, Cho YJ, Park SH, Jeon K, Bae K, Cho DK. · Division of Nephrology, Department of Internal Medicine, Kyungpook University Hospital, Daegu, South Korea. · Am J Kidney Dis. · Pubmed #12900847 No free full text.
Abstract: The authors report a case of mediastinal fluid collection resulting from peritoneal-mediastinal communication after continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case in the medical literature. A dry cough developed in the patient who had been receiving CAPD for 4 years. A mediastinal mass owing to peritoneal leakage of dialysate to the mediastinum was confirmed by a computed tomography scan taken 4 hours after the intraperitoneal infusion of contrast-mixed dialysate. The leakage persisted for 12 weeks after the discontinuation of CAPD fluid instillation.
