U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Prevents Outbreak at Sea in Midst of COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: Outbreak with a respiratory pathogen in the shipboard environment could debilitate a crew and decrease mission effectiveness of a US Navy warship with implications to national security. Prevention of an outbreak at sea requires identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities, testing capability for identification of the pathogen, preparation for quarantine and isolation for immediate containment, and commitment from the entire crew for success.PMID:33734391 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usab107

Parental Presence at the Bedside of a Child with Suspected Ebola: An Expert Discussion
The Ebola virus disease (Ebola) outbreak in West Africa (2014-2015) prompted domestic planning to address the scenario in which a traveler imports Ebola into the United States. Parental presence at the bedside of a child with suspected or confirmed Ebola emerged as a challenging issue for pediatric health care providers and public health practitioners. At the heart of the issue was the balance of family-centered care and appropriate infection control, which are not easily aligned in the setting of Ebola.

Trump Says U.S. Will Run 5 Million Daily Virus Tests ‘Very Soon.’ His Testing Chief Says That’s Impossible
President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that the U.S. will be able to carry out five million coronavirus tests per day, but the top official overseeing testing strategy told TIME earlier in the day that goal wasn’t feasible given current technology.
Admiral Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary of health who is in charge of the government’s testing response, said during an interview on Tuesday morning that “there is absolutely no way on Earth, on this planet or any other planet, that we can do 20 million tests a day, or even five million tests a day.”
Since the beginning of the year, the Administrat...

Diagnostic Testing for SARS-Coronavirus-2 in the Nursing Facility: Recommendations of a Delphi Panel of Long-Term Care Clinicians
AbstractWith the COVID-19 pandemic progressing, guidance on strategies to mitigate its devastating effects in nursing facilities (NFs) is critical to preventing additional tragic outcomes. Asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 from nursing facility staff and residents is a major accelerator of infection. Facility-wide point-prevalence testing is an emerging strategy in disease mitigation. Because time is not available to await the results of randomized controlled trials before implementing strategies in this high-risk setting, an expert Delphi panel composed of experienced long-term care medicine professionals has now met to pro...

Genetic counseling during COVID ‐19 pandemic: Tuscany experience
ConclusionsSpread of COVID ‐19 in Italy forced us to change our working habits. Given the necessity to optimize healthcare resources and minimize the risk of in‐hospital infections, we experienced the benefits of telegenetics. Current pandemic made us familiar with telemedicine, laying the foundations for its application to deal with the increasing number of requests in clinical genetics.

Three months of COVID-19 in a pediatric setting in the center of Milan.
Abstract
The second epicenter of the global COVID-19 epidemic following Wuhan, and the first in the Western world, occurred unexpectedly in the Lombardy region of Italy, whose capital city is Milan. The aggressive nature of the outbreak in the region was dramatic, leading to a 2-month period of lockdown. Within the Policlinico, the historic hospital in the center of Milan, many units were rapidly converted into intensive care units or semi-intensive units for adult patients. During lockdown, the pediatric inpatient units had to face daily reorganization caused by the necessary logistic and structural transformatio...

Add-On Chinese Medicine for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (ACCORD): A Retrospective Cohort Study of Hospital Registries
Am J Chin Med. 2021 Mar 5:1-33. doi: 10.1142/S0192415X21500257. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChinese medicine (CM) was extensively used to treat COVID-19 in China. We aimed to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of add-on semi-individualized CM during the outbreak. A retrospective cohort of 1788 adult confirmed COVID-19 patients were recruited from 2235 consecutive linked records retrieved from five hospitals in Wuhan during 15 January to 13 March 2020. The mortality of add-on semi-individualized CM users and non-users was compared by inverse probability weighted hazard ratio (HR) and by propensity score matching. Chang...

From Epidemic to Pandemic: Comparing Hospital Staff Emotional Experience Between MERS and COVID-19
Conclusion: Both the MERS and COVID-19 outbreaks were emotionally draining for HCWs. However, COVID-19 was a relatively more stressful experience than MERS for HCWs and led to greater personal, behavioral, and protective adaptations by the hospital staff.PMID:34933949 | PMC:PMC8691431 | DOI:10.3121/cmr.2021.1657
