The idea that old vaccines might have a role in the fight against COVID-19 has been floated since the early days of the pandemic. Vaccines stimulate the broad, innate immune response, which appears to play a key role in fighting COVID-19. Can the approach bridge the time until entire populations are vaccinated specifically against SARS-CoV-2?
Three vaccines dominate the discussion: bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) against tuberculosis; measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR); and oral polio vaccine (OPV).
BCG has been associated with milder courses of infection for respiratory syncytial virus, human papillomavirus, herpes simplex, and influenza. Fifteen clinical trials are testing it for COVID-19, but a drawback is the 1% rate of adverse events.

Episode Description
ADHD exacts a greater psychological toll on women than it does on men, with more troubling long-term outcomes demonstrated in medical research. While the dramatic increase in mid-life diagnoses among women is beginning to shift the ADHD landscape, these findings signal an urgent wake-up call: Beneath women’s determination to mask their impairments, psychological distress can gradually erode their self-worth and quality of life.

Lower microbiota diversity and abundance of Lactobacillales increased the risk
The composition of the oral microbiome influenced future lung cancer risk among men and especially women who never smoked, suggested findings from a nested case-control study in two large cohorts from Shanghai.
Among almost 75,000 participants in the Shanghai Women’s Health Study and over 61,000 participants in the Shanghai Men’s Health Study, subjects with lower levels of microbiota diversity had an increased risk of lung cancer compared to those with higher levels of microbial diversity (
P=0.05 and
P=0.04, depending on the statistical method used), Dean Hosgood, MD, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, and colleagues reported in
This stuff in your mouth may increase lung cancer risk, even if you donât smoke

In a new study, researchers found that the type and abundance of bacteria found in the mouth may be linked to lung cancer risk in non-smokers.
They found fewer species and high numbers of particular types of bacteria seem to be linked to heightened risk.
The research was conducted by a team at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Around one in four cases of lung cancer occurs in non-smokers and known risk factors, such as secondhand tobacco smoke, background radon exposure, air pollution, and family history of lung cancer don’t fully explain these figures, say the researchers.
