   • summary: World Health Organization Correlation between healthcare workers' knowledge of influenza vaccine and vaccine receipt Factors influencing update of influenza vaccination among hospital-based healthcare workers Nurses' contacts and potential for infectious disease transmission Influenza immunization: improving compliance of healthcare workers Uptake of influenza vaccine by healthcare workers in an acute hospital in Ireland Low acceptance of vaccination against the 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) among healthcare workers in Greece Behviours regarding preventive measures against pandemic H1N1 influenza among Italian healthcare workers Willingness of Hong Kong healthcare workers to accept pre-pandemic influenza vaccination at different WHO alert levels: two questionnaire surveys Positive attitudes of French general practitioners towards A/ H1N1 influenza-pandemic vaccination: A missed opportunity to increase vaccination uptake in the general public? It is therefore not surprising that a recent online poll conducted in the UK suggested that nurses may be unwilling to receive pandemic influenza vaccination [15] .

   • summary: The concept that swine are a mixing-vessel for the reassortment of influenza viruses and for the emergence of pandemic influenza viruses has been re-enforced by the emergence of the recent pandemic. This study was supported by Contract HHSN266200700005C from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Pigs have been considered as hypothetical 'mixing vessels' facilitating the genesis of pandemic influenza viruses.

    • summary: The central part of both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are hilly rising to a height of 3,050 m. Only 21.8% of Hong Kong land is built up, concentrating on the triangular tip of Kowloon and the coastal strip of northern Hong Kong Island. Drastic environmental implications such as living in busy urban centres with high air and noise pollution, poor lighting and ventilation in individual housing units, urban heat island and wind tunnel effects are observed in Hong Kong's high-rise building developments.

One typical question, engendered by this problem, is whether the government led by the Chief Executive and other politically appointed high-rank officials can be seen to have the mandate from Hong Kong people or serve as the embodiment of the people's collective interests in general so that it can genuinely represent people's public reason with the political accountability to them.

Whereas uncontrolled studies of treated cohorts in Asia have suggested that using moderate doses of corticosteroids, 1 to 2 mg/kg of a prednisone-equivalent daily, at the first evidence of severe SARS, specifically hypoxemia, may improve survival, 59,61,62 corticosteroid therapy for SARS has had serious adverse effects, 63 and a single randomized trial of preemptive pulse corticosteroid therapy did not show benefit.
