Revisiting Bacille Calmette-Guérin revaccination strategies: timing of immunization, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria infections, strain potency and standardization of randomized controlled trials
- First Published: 23 May 2024

1) Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) revaccination timing is crucial for enhancing immunity, particularly in adolescents and young adults.
2) Prior Mycobacterium tuberculosis or non-tuberculous mycobacteria infections may influence the perceived efficacy of BCG revaccination.
3) Different BCG strains show varied immunogenicity, affecting the vaccine's protective potential.
4) Standardized randomized controlled trial methodologies are essential for robust and comparable BCG revaccination research outcomes.

Pharmaceutical company payments to Japanese breast cancer practice guideline authors
- First Published: 14 June 2024

- Of the 149 authors of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Breast Cancer, edition 2022, 115 (77.2%) received personal payments from drug companies from 2016 to 2020.
- More than 60% of personal payments were not declared by the authors, because of the less transparent COI policy of the Japanese Breast Cancer Society.
- Nine authors undeclared personal payments summing $594 615 despite being higher than the thresholds.
