    The Dutch-born Father Frans Jozef van Beeck has been a Jesuit for nearly 60 years. A respected theologian and teacher, he has written several books on ecclesiology and on the Catholic Church’s relationship with Judaism. Father van Beeck’s multi-volume project, God Encountered: A Contemporary Catholic Systematic Theology, is still a work in progress. Driven Under the Influence is a provocative sampling of his unpublished ideas over a 30-year period. The essays chosen here suggest the breadth and depth of his scholarly interests. They range from fundamental issues such as Christology and Trinitarian theology to encounters with non-Christians, especially Jews, to thorny contemporary issues such as the ordination of women, to very personal reflections on literature and faith. It is a collection sure to stimulate and inspire.https://digitalcommons.sacredheart.edu/shupress_bks/1010/thumbnail.jp

    Surveillance of effects of HPV vaccination in Belgium

    Background: Early effects of HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccination are reflected by changes observable in young women attending cervical cancer screening. Subject and methods: The SEHIB study included HPV geno-typing of ∼6000 continuous and 650 pathological cervical cell specimen as well as biopsies, collected from women in Belgium in 2010–2014. Data were linked to vaccination status. Results: HPV vaccination offered protection among women aged(vaccine effectiveness [VE] = 67%, 95% CI: 48–79%), HPV18 (VE = 93%, 95% CI: 52–99%), and high-risk HPV (VE = 16%, 95% CI: 2–29%). Vaccination protected also against cytological lesions. Vaccination protected against histologically confirmed lesions: significantly lower absolute risks of CIN1+ (risk difference [RD] = −1.6%, 95% CI: −2.6% to −0.7%) and CIN3+ associated with HPV16/18 (RD = −0.3%, 95% CI −0.6% to −0.1%). Vaccine effectiveness decreased with age. Protection against HPV16 and 18 infection was significant in all age groups, however no protection was observed against cytological lesions associated with these types in age-group 25–29. Conclusion: The SEHIB study demonstrates the effectiveness of HPV vaccination in Belgian young women in particular in age group 18–19. Declining effectiveness with increasing age may be explained by higher tendency of women already exposed to infection to get the vaccine
