COLUMBUS, Ohio - A new SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate, developed by giving a key protein s gene a ride into the body while encased in a measles vaccine, has been shown to produce a strong immune response and prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and lung disease in multiple animal studies.
Scientists attribute the vaccine candidate s effectiveness to strategic production of the antigen to stimulate immunity: using a specific snippet of the coronavirus spike protein gene, and inserting it into a sweet spot in the measles vaccine genome to boost activation, or expression, of the gene that makes the protein.
Even with several vaccines already on the market, researchers say this candidate may have advantages worth exploring - especially related to the measles vaccine s established safety, durability and high-efficacy profile.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Older minority cancer patients with poor social determinants of health are significantly more likely to experience negative surgical outcomes compared to white patients with similar risk factors, according to a new study published by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James).
A new retrospective analysis of more than 200,000 patients conducted by researchers with the OSUCCC - James suggests that minority patients living in high socially vulnerable neighborhoods had a 40% increased risk of a complication and 23% increased risk of 90-day mortality compared with white patients for neighborhoods with low social vulnerability. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) defines social vulnerability as potential negative effects on communities caused by external stresses on human health.

Though some scientists have argued diversity training doesn t actually drive meaningful change, professor Ivuoma Onyeador and her coauthors believe that trainings can and will continue to be effective resources.
She says most organizations come up with lofty, unattainable diversity goals instead of using a multipronged approach to improving culture.
To help participants identify and reduce bias, Onyeador recommends equipping them with two to three strategies, hosting a series of workshops, and continuously following up for maximized accountability.
Many companies resort to implicit bias trainings to avoid confrontational discussions, but she argues it s important to address defensiveness and hear from victims who ve been negatively affected to build empathy.
