Play Video: Immunization: Leave no one behind - Guidance for planning and implementing catch-up vaccination

Timely vaccination is important for earliest protection but individuals may miss vaccination for a variety of reasons. No one should miss out on the right to the protection that vaccines offer, simply because they are not able to access services in time. The World Health Organization recommends that all national immunization programmes have a catch-up vaccination strategy to be implemented on an ongoing basis. This guidance summarizes global recommendations and operational implications for establishing or refining a catch-up vaccination policy and catch-up schedule as an essential part of a well-functioning immunization programme. More information: Guidance in English, French, and Portuguese can be found at: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240016514. Additional WHO resources for catch-up vaccination are available at https://www.who.int/teams/immunization-vaccines-and-biologicals/essential-programme-on-immunization/implementation/catch-up-vaccination.

Play Video: Vaccinating older adults against COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on older adults, with the highest proportion of severe disease and death concentrated in this age group. Besides these direct outcomes, the sequelae of COVID-19 often result in significant loss of physical and mental capacities and functional ability, requiring additional care. Reaching this group is difficult in many settings and often requires different strategies owing to this groups diversity and heterogeneity. This guidance document identifies successful strategies, enablers and examples of successful strategies to identify and offer vaccine doses against COVID-19 to older adults, especially in low- and middle-income settings.

Medicine Video: Assessment of Bradykinesia in Parkinson’s Disease using Video-Based Pose Estimation

Play Video: Assessment of Bradykinesia in Parkinson’s Disease using Video-Based Pose Estimation

Co-Authors: Jan Stenum, PhD Alexander Pantelyat, MD Ryan Roemmich, PhD Objectives: Repetitive motion is an important part of many neurologic exams like the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) for persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Bradykinesia is a prevalent symptom in persons with PD, and the UPDRS tests this via observational assessment of repetitive movements. Bradykinesia is typically evaluated subjectively in the clinic via visual observation by a movement disorders neurologist, but computer vision offers an opportunity for remote and objective assessments. Design: We evaluated a pose estimation approach for measuring movement frequency in persons with PD from smartphone videos. We used 48 videos of the UPDRS done on 22 individuals with PD. The videos were segmented into portions containing two repetitive motion tasks: finger tapping (FT) and hand opening and closing (HOC). Tasks were scored by a neurologist and given UPDRS subscores from 0-4 (no symptoms to severe symptoms). We used a workflow that included Google MediaPipe (a freely available pose estimation algorithm) to estimate movement frequency and compared that to ground-truth manual measurements. Results: The means of the manually calculated and Mediapipe frequency for the FT tasks were 4.37±0.89 and 4.03±0.98 Hz, respectively. The means of the manually calculated and Mediapipe frequency for the HOC task were 2.98±0.88 and 2.66±0.75 Hz, respectively. The correlation coefficient between the manual and Mediapipe calculations for both movements showed strong positive correlations (0.74, 0.61). These results suggest that pose estimation is a promising tool to provide accurate assessments of upper limb bradykinesia in PD. Conclusions: As this is a preliminary analysis, we restricted our analysis to the FT and HOC tasks, but we plan to include the remaining bradykinesia items in future work.
