PMID:  Emerg Infect Dis. 2014 Apr ;20(4):626-33. PMID: 24655754 Abstract Title:  Rapid increase in pertactin-deficient Bordetella pertussis isolates, Australia. Abstract:  Acellular vaccines against Bordetella pertussis were introduced in Australia in 1997. By 2000, these vaccines had replaced whole-cell vaccines. During 2008-2012, a large outbreak of pertussis occurred. During this period, 30% (96/320) of B. pertussis …

PMID:  Neurotoxicol Teratol. 1995 Jul-Aug;17(4):515-21. PMID: 7565498 Abstract Title:  Reproductive and developmental toxicity of aluminum: a review. Abstract:  It is well known that aluminum is a developmental toxicant when administered parenterally. However, until recently, there was little concern about embryo/fetal consequences of aluminum ingestion because bioavailability was considered low. The importance of the route of …
