Developing and sustaining relationships and networks before an emergency occurs is crucial. The Biocontainment Unit Leadership Workgroup is a consortium of the 13 Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Centers in the United States. Established in 2017, the volunteer-based workgroup is composed of operational leaders dedicated to maintaining readiness for special pathogen care. Monthly meetings focus on addressing operational challenges, sharing best practices, and brainstorming solutions to common problems. Task forces are leveraged to tackle more complex issues that are identified as priorities. In 2022, members of the workgroup were harnessed for response efforts related to mpox, Sudan ebolavirus, and Marburg virus disease. The weekly Outbreak Readiness call is a shared effort between the Biocontainment Unit Leadership Workgroup and the Special Pathogens Research Network of the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center. Call participants included leaders of the Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Centers and federal partners who shared weekly updates on operational readiness of units, case counts, laboratory capacity, available medical countermeasures, and other pertinent information. The routine exchange of real-time information enabled learning and collegial sharing of experiences, highlighted the experience of the network to federal partners, and provided situational awareness of special pathogen outbreaks across the country. The consortium enabled this rapid convening of partners to meet an urgent need for special pathogen response. The weekly Outbreak Readiness call is a communication model and scalable framework that serves both domestic preparedness efforts and international efforts should the need for a collaborative global response arise. In this case study, we describe the framework and experience of this partnership, along with the structure of rapid deployment for group convening.

在紧急情况发生之前发展和维持关系与网络至关重要。生物安全单位领导工作组是由美国 13 个地区新兴特殊病原体治疗中心组成的联盟。该工作组成立于 2017 年,以志愿者为基础,由致力于保持特殊病原体治疗准备就绪的业务领导人组成。每月举行的会议侧重于应对运营挑战、分享最佳实践和集思广益解决常见问题。工作组被用来解决被确定为优先事项的更复杂的问题。2022 年,工作组的成员被用于应对与麻疹、苏丹伊波拉病毒和马尔堡病毒病有关的工作。每周的疫情准备电话会议是生物安全单位领导工作组与国家新发特殊病原体培训和教育中心的特殊病原体研究网络共同开展的一项工作。电话会议的参与者包括地区新发特殊病原体治疗中心的领导和联邦合作伙伴,他们每周都会分享有关单位的运行准备情况、病例数量、实验室能力、可用的医疗对策和其他相关信息的最新情况。例行的实时信息交流促进了学习和经验共享,向联邦合作伙伴强调了网络的经验,并提供了对全国特殊病原体爆发的态势感知。该联盟能够迅速召集合作伙伴,以满足特殊病原体应对的迫切需要。每周一次的疫情准备呼叫是一种沟通模式和可扩展的框架,既可服务于国内的准备工作,也可在需要全球合作应对时服务于国际工作。在本案例研究中,我们将介绍这种合作关系的框架和经验,以及快速部署小组召集的结构。

High-level isolation units (HLIUs) have been established by countries to provide safe and optimal medical care for patients with high-consequence infectious diseases. We aimed to identify global high-level isolation capabilities and determine gaps and priorities of global HLIUs, using a multiple method approach that included a systematic review of published and gray literature and a review of Joint External Evaluations and Global Health Security Index reports from 112 countries. A follow-up electronic survey was distributed to identified HLIUs. The landscape analysis found 44 previously designated/self-described HLIUs in 19 countries. An additional 33 countries had potential HLIUs; however, there were not enough details on capabilities to determine if they fit the HLIU definition. An electronic survey was distributed to 36 HLIUs to validate landscape analysis findings and to understand challenges, best practices, and priorities for increased networking with a global HLIU cohort; 31 (86%) HLIUs responded. Responses revealed an additional 30 confirmed HLIUs that were not identified in the landscape analysis. To our knowledge, this was the first mapping and the largest ever survey of global HLIUs. Survey findings identified major gaps in visibility of HLIUs: while our landscape analysis initially identified 44 units, the survey unveiled an additional 30 HLIUs that had not been previously identified or confirmed. The lack of formalized regional or global coordinating organizations exacerbates these visibility gaps. The unique characteristics and capabilities of these facilities, coupled with the likelihood these units serve as core components of national health security plans, provides an opportunity for increased connection and networking to advance the field of high-level isolation and address identified gaps in coordination, build an evidence base for HLIU approaches, and inform HLIU definitions and key components.

各国建立高级别隔离单位(HLIU)的目的是为高危传染病患者提供安全和最佳的医疗护理。我们采用多种方法,包括对已发表的文献和灰色文献进行系统回顾,以及对 112 个国家的联合外部评估和全球健康安全指数报告进行回顾,旨在确定全球高级别隔离能力,并确定全球高级别隔离单位的差距和优先事项。还向已确定的高级别医疗保险单位分发了后续电子调查表。情况分析发现,在 19 个国家中有 44 个先前指定/自述的高危重点单位。另有 33 个国家有潜在的高风险独立单位,但没有足够的能力细节来确定它们是否符合高风险独立单位的定义。向 36 个高地独立单位分发了电子调查表,以验证前景分析结果,并了解与全球高地独立单位群组加强联网所面临的挑战、最佳实践和优先事项;31 个(86%)高地独立单位做出了回应。答复显示,另有 30 个已确认的高阶层人士联谊单位在情况分析中没有发现。据我们所知,这是首次对全球高阶层人士联谊单位进行摸底调查,也是有史以来规模最大的一次调查。调查结果显示,高地小岛屿的知名度存在重大差距:虽然我们的景观分析初步确定了 44 个小岛屿,但调查发现还有 30 个高地小岛屿此前未被确定或确认。缺乏正式的地区或全球协调组织加剧了这些能见度差距。这些设施的独特性和能力,加上这些单位有可能成为国家卫生安全计划的核心组成部分,为加强联系和联网提供了机会,以推动高级隔离领域的发展,解决协调方面的差距,为高级隔离单位方法建立证据基础,并为高级隔离单位的定义和关键组成部分提供信息。

A Virtual Assessment Model for At-Home Evaluation of Suspected Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Cases. 用于对疑似病毒性出血热病例进行居家评估的虚拟评估模型。
IF 2.1 4区 医学 Q3 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Pub Date : 2024-09-01 Epub Date: 2024-08-13 DOI: 10.1089/hs.2023.0157

The Sudan virus disease outbreak in 2022 prompted the Denver Health High-Risk Infection Team (HITeam) to evaluate and implement novel strategies to respond to viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) events. To improve the VHF response, HITeam members developed a virtual assessment model (VAM) for at-home evaluation of individuals who are suspected of having a VHF. The VAM incorporates aspects of care that would normally be rendered in a high-level isolation unit-including assessment and monitoring, specimen collection, provider consultation, patient and family teaching, and pharmaceutical intervention-into a mobile framework in which team members respond to a suspected case at the individual's home. Building this capability allows for more thorough assessment of a suspect case in the field, as well as the postponement of a decision about activation of the high-level isolation unit until more information is available. Development, testing, and implementation of the VAM required input from an interdisciplinary group of partners that demonstrated the ability of nurses, physicians, laboratorians, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and public health personnel to integrate into 1 cohesive care team. The resulting model recenters VHF care on the patient by allowing the care team to gather critical information in an environment that is more comfortable for the suspect case while keeping communities safe and lowering exposure risks. The VAM has long-term sustainability implications for global VHF programs and provides solutions for broader challenges in healthcare by modeling cost-effective, patient-centered care within the highly nuanced subspecialty of special pathogen care.

2022 年爆发的苏丹病毒病促使丹佛卫生高危感染团队 (HITeam) 评估并实施新的策略来应对病毒性出血热 (VHF) 事件。为了改进 VHF 应对措施,HITeam 成员开发了一个虚拟评估模型 (VAM),用于对疑似 VHF 患者进行居家评估。虚拟评估模型将通常在高级隔离病房提供的护理服务(包括评估和监测、标本采集、医疗服务提供者咨询、患者和家属教育以及药物干预)纳入一个移动框架,团队成员可在患者家中对疑似病例做出反应。有了这种能力,就能在现场对疑似病例进行更全面的评估,并在获得更多信息之前推迟启动高级隔离单元的决定。VAM 的开发、测试和实施需要一个跨学科合作伙伴小组的投入,该小组展示了护士、医生、化验员、护理人员、紧急医疗技术人员和公共卫生人员整合成一个有凝聚力的护理团队的能力。由此产生的模式使护理团队能够在更适合疑似病例的环境中收集关键信息,同时保证社区安全并降低暴露风险,从而为患者提供更多的 VHF 护理。VAM 对全球 VHF 计划具有长期的可持续性影响,并通过在高度细微的特殊病原体护理亚专科内建立具有成本效益、以患者为中心的护理模式,为医疗保健领域面临的更广泛挑战提供了解决方案。

This case study describes the experience of the German Permanent Working Group of Competence and Treatment Centers for High Consequence Infectious Diseases, known as STAKOB (Ständiger Arbeitskreis der Kompetenz- und Behandlungszentren für Krankheiten durch hochpathogene Erreger). STAKOB brings together public health authorities (competence centers) and high-level isolation units (treatment centers) to collaborate on the clinical management of high-consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs) and emerging infectious diseases. The network is coordinated by the Robert Koch Institute, Germany's federal public health institute. The main tasks of STAKOB are to strengthen HCID clinical and public health management and increase expert knowledge on HCID and non-HCID emerging infectious diseases in Germany. STAKOB enables the exchange of knowledge and experiences; development of guidelines on infection prevention and control measures, clinical management, and therapy; and support for the World Health Organization and other outbreak responses internationally. The past years have shown how important the STAKOB network is for Germany-not only in providing critical care for HCID cases but also increasing capacity to support public health and clinical management of emerging infectious disease cases. However, maintaining several high-level isolation units in Germany requires a high commitment of financial, material, and human resources. Due to the rarity of HCID and emerging infectious disease events, maintaining the appropriate level of preparedness and ensuring sufficient investments is an ongoing struggle. Nevertheless, it is essential to have a network ready to react to HCID and non-HCID emerging infectious diseases in times of a changing biosecurity and infectious landscape.

本案例研究介绍了德国高危传染病能力和治疗中心常设工作组(简称 STAKOB)的经验。STAKOB 将公共卫生机构(能力中心)和高级隔离单位(治疗中心)汇聚在一起,合作开展高致病性传染病(HCID)和新发传染病的临床管理。该网络由德国联邦公共卫生研究所罗伯特-科赫研究所负责协调。STAKOB 的主要任务是加强 HCID 临床和公共卫生管理,增加德国 HCID 和非 HCID 新发传染病方面的专家知识。STAKOB 促进了知识和经验的交流;制定了感染预防和控制措施、临床管理和治疗指南;并为世界卫生组织和国际上其他疫情应对措施提供支持。过去几年的经验表明,STAKOB 网络对德国非常重要,它不仅能为 HCID 病例提供重症监护,还能提高对新发传染病病例的公共卫生和临床管理的支持能力。然而,在德国维持几个高级隔离单位需要投入大量的财力、物力和人力资源。由于 HCID 和新发传染病事件的罕见性,保持适当的准备水平并确保足够的投资是一项持续的工作。然而,在生物安全和传染病形势不断变化的情况下,建立一个随时应对 HCID 和非 HCID 新发传染病的网络是至关重要的。

An organizational culture of biosafety and biosecurity is critical for effective management of transboundary animal diseases. One essential aspect of this work is keeping important pathogens studied in veterinary laboratories under control. Türkiye is among the countries that are both endemic and disease-free for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus, and it has a unique institute dedicated to FMD diagnosis, control, and vaccine production. To build an organizational safety culture within this institute and strengthen awareness of the importance of safe and secure handling of FMD, 4 staff members previously trained in biorisk management developed and provided trainings to all institute staff. The institute's 173 personnel were divided into 3 groups by job description based on direct or indirect work with FMD virus. All 3 groups received training that addressed biosecurity, biosafety, biorisk awareness, and insider threat; the trainings varied in length by group. Three-quarters (n=130, 75%) of all institute staff completed their training and were asked to complete knowledge surveys using a Likert scale survey before and after their training. A majority (n=104, 80%) of those participants completed both the pretraining and posttraining surveys. All 3 training groups' posttraining surveys showed improved awareness above baseline scores, and all 3 groups scores reached the targeted threshold goal. Group 2 demonstrated a realization that some of the knowledge and habits they had acquired through experience were incorrect. Scores for several individual questions decreased at posttraining, and these results will need further evaluation. The overall training results prompted the institute to provide periodic updates to employees to sustain the organizational safety culture. With this study, the institute now has a dedicated group of biorisk management representatives. This work serves as a wake-up call for established institutions that rely on staff experience to foster an organizational culture of biosafety and biosecurity.

生物安全和生物安保的组织文化对于有效管理跨境动物疾病至关重要。这项工作的一个重要方面是控制兽医实验室研究的重要病原体。图尔基耶是口蹄疫(FMD)病毒既流行又无疫情的国家之一,它有一个专门从事口蹄疫诊断、控制和疫苗生产的独特机构。为了在该研究所内建立组织安全文化,加强对安全可靠地处理口蹄疫重要性的认识,4 名曾接受过生物风险管理培训的工作人员制定了培训计划,并对研究所的所有工作人员进行了培训。根据直接或间接接触口蹄疫病毒的工作内容,该研究所的 173 名工作人员被分为 3 组。所有 3 个小组都接受了针对生物安保、生物安全、生物风险意识和内部威胁的培训;各小组接受培训的时间长短不一。四分之三(n=130,75%)的研究所工作人员完成了培训,并被要求在培训前后使用李克特量表完成知识调查。其中大多数参与者(104 人,80%)都完成了培训前和培训后的调查。所有 3 个培训小组的培训后调查都显示,他们的认知水平都比基线分数有所提高,而且所有 3 个小组的分数都达到了预定的阈值目标。第 2 组的学员认识到,他们从经验中获得的一些知识和习惯是不正确的。培训后,几个个别问题的得分有所下降,这些结果需要进一步评估。整体培训结果促使研究所定期向员工提供最新信息,以保持组织的安全文化。通过这项研究,研究所现在有了一个专门的生物风险管理代表小组。这项工作为那些依靠员工经验来培养生物安全和生物安保组织文化的成熟机构敲响了警钟。

The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Guidance Framework for the Responsible Use of the Life Sciences addresses the governance of biorisks, including dual-use research, for countries. It emphasizes engaging multisectoral stakeholders such as governments, scientific bodies, health and research institutes, standard-setting organizations, funding bodies, and others. Ethics constitutes a key component of the framework. Given the high social impact of such research and the importance of trust, risk, and benefit, national ethics committees could make a valuable contribution by providing ethical guidance in the decisionmaking process. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of national ethics committees in the context of governance and oversight of dual-use research at the national level. We conducted a landscape analysis of the activities of ethics committees in dual-use research oversight. We also searched the WHO database on National Ethics Committees for publications related to dual-use research and/or misuse of life sciences research and gathered additional documentation from national ethics committees websites and through author contacts. Results showed that in the context of the wide range of oversight mechanisms for dual-use research in countries, national ethics committees have contributed to guiding policy and assessing dual-use research risks in only a limited number of countries. Recommendations from those countries include establishing a multistakeholder, coordinated oversight mechanism at the country level; strengthening international linkages to guide, harmonize, and reinforce national and international efforts; and involving ethics committees as an expert resource in the governance and oversight process.

世界卫生组织(世卫组织)《负责任地使用生命科学全球指导框架》涉及各国对生物风险(包括双重用途研究)的管理。该框架强调政府、科学机构、卫生和研究机构、标准制定组织、资助机构等多部门利益相关者的参与。伦理是该框架的关键组成部分。鉴于此类研究的高度社会影响以及信任、风险和收益的重要性,国家伦理委员会可以在决策过程中提供伦理指导,从而做出宝贵贡献。本研究旨在考察国家伦理委员会在国家层面治理和监督军民两用研究方面的作用。我们对伦理委员会在双重用途研究监督方面的活动进行了全面分析。我们还在世界卫生组织国家伦理委员会数据库中搜索了与双重用途研究和/或滥用生命科学研究有关的出版物,并从国家伦理委员会网站和通过作者联系人收集了更多文献资料。结果表明,在各国双重用途研究监督机制范围广泛的情况下,只有少数国家的国家伦理委员会为指导政策和评估双重用途研究风险做出了贡献。这些国家提出的建议包括:在国家层面建立一个多利益攸关方协调监督机制;加强国际联系,以指导、协调和加强国家和国际努力;以及让伦理委员会作为专家资源参与治理和监督过程。

Worldwide Trends in COVID-19-Related Attacks Against Healthcare: A Review of the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition Database. 与 COVID-19 相关的全球医疗卫生袭击趋势:冲突中保障健康联盟数据库回顾。
IF 2.1 4区 医学 Q3 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Pub Date : 2024-08-01 Epub Date: 2024-05-07 DOI: 10.1089/hs.2023.0114

During the COVID-19 pandemic, violence targeting healthcare reportedly increased. Attacks against healthcare can severely hamper the public health response during a pandemic. Descriptive data analysis of these attacks may be helpful to develop prevention and mitigation strategies. This study aimed to investigate trends regarding COVID-19-related attacks against healthcare from January 2020 until January 2023. COVID-19-related incidents occurring between January 2020 and January 2023 were extracted from the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition database and screened for eligibility. Included incidents were linked to COVID-19 health measures or were attacks directly interfering with COVID-19 healthcare, including conflict-related attacks. Data collected per incident included temporal factors; country; setting; attack and weapon type; perpetrator; motive; number of healthcare workers (HCWs) killed, injured, or kidnapped; and health facility damage. The study identified 255 COVID-19-related attacks against healthcare, with 18 HCWs killed, 147 HCWs injured, and 86 facilities damaged. The highest attack frequency was reported during the beginning of the pandemic and predominantly concerned stigma-related attacks against healthcare. Reported incidents in 2021 included attacks targeting vaccination campaigns, as well as conflict-related attacks interfering with COVID-19 healthcare. COVID-19-related attacks against healthcare occurred in heterogeneous contexts throughout the pandemic. Due to underreporting, the data presented are a minimum estimate of the actual magnitude of violence. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of public education campaigns, improved coordination between healthcare organizations and law enforcement, and the possible need to bolster the security of medical facilities and health workers.

据报道,在 COVID-19 大流行期间,针对医疗保健的暴力行为有所增加。在大流行期间,针对医疗保健的袭击会严重阻碍公共卫生响应。对这些袭击进行描述性数据分析可能有助于制定预防和缓解策略。本研究旨在调查 2020 年 1 月至 2023 年 1 月期间与 COVID-19 相关的针对医疗保健的攻击趋势。研究人员从 "冲突中保护健康联盟 "数据库中提取了 2020 年 1 月至 2023 年 1 月期间发生的 COVID-19 相关事件,并筛选出符合条件的事件。纳入的事件与 COVID-19 医疗措施相关联,或者是直接干扰 COVID-19 医疗的攻击,包括与冲突相关的攻击。每起事件收集的数据包括时间因素、国家、环境、袭击和武器类型、肇事者、动机、死亡、受伤或被绑架的医疗工作者 (HCW) 人数以及医疗设施受损情况。研究确定了 255 起与 COVID-19 相关的医疗卫生袭击事件,其中 18 名医护人员死亡,147 名医护人员受伤,86 处设施受损。据报告,大流行开始时发生的袭击频率最高,主要涉及与污名化有关的针对医疗保健的袭击。2021 年报告的事件包括针对疫苗接种活动的攻击,以及与冲突有关的干扰 COVID-19 医疗保健的攻击。在整个大流行期间,与 COVID-19 相关的针对医疗保健的攻击发生在不同的背景下。由于报告不足,所提供的数据只是对实际暴力规模的最低估计。本研究的结果强调了公众教育活动、改善医疗机构与执法部门之间协调的重要性,以及加强医疗设施和医疗工作者安全的必要性。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of COVID-19 throat swab samples delivered by medical drones in epidemic prevention and control. This study was carried out in both southern and northern hospital districts of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from May to October 2022. The main participants were the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University and Zhejiang Antwork Technology Co., Ltd. We first constructed an urban medical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) delivery system and developed a UAV-specific storage box for COVID-19 samples. The UAV system was used to transport COVID-19 throat swab samples from the northern hospital district to the southern hospital district, and the following indexes were obtained: (1) flight time of COVID-19 samples delivered by UAV, (2) real-time temperature of COVID-19 nucleic acid samples during transportation, and (3) the time of distribution of COVID-19 nucleic acid samples by road traffic as measured using the Baidu Maps application, compared with the flight time of UAV. The COVID-19 sample delivery system for urban medical UAV mainly consists of intelligent logistics UAV, low-temperature COVID-19 throat swab sample storage box, unmanned logistics hub, and cloud operation control platform. The flight distance between the northern and southern districts of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University was 10 km, and the ground distance was 24 km. From May 11 to October 28, 2022, a total of 1,190 UAV flights occurred. The average flight time was 13 minutes, which was 40 to 70 minutes faster than the average road travel time required for manual delivery of COVID-19 throat swab samples. At different time points in the day, UAV delivery efficiency increased by 67.5% to 82%. The use of 5G with the Internet of Things and UAV technology to deliver nucleic acid samples has the characteristics of fast speed, being unaffected by ground traffic conditions, and the ability to ensure the safety of nucleic acid samples in the transportation process, which is worthy of further study.

本研究的目的是调查由医疗无人机运送 COVID-19 喉拭子样本在流行病防控中的可行性和有效性。本研究于 2022 年 5 月至 10 月在江南大学附属医院南部和北部院区开展。主要参与方为江南大学附属医院和浙江蚁工科技有限公司。我们首先建造了城市医疗无人机运送系统,并开发了无人机专用的COVID-19样本储存箱。利用该无人机系统将COVID-19咽拭子样本从北部院区运送到南部院区,得出了以下指标:(1)无人机运送COVID-19样本的飞行时间;(2)COVID-19核酸样本在运送过程中的实时温度;(3)利用百度地图应用测量的COVID-19核酸样本在道路交通中的分布时间,并与无人机的飞行时间进行对比。城市医疗无人机COVID-19样本配送系统主要由智能物流无人机、低温COVID-19咽拭子样本储存箱、无人物流枢纽和云操作控制平台组成。江南大学附属医院北区与南区飞行距离为10公里,地面距离为24公里。从 2022 年 5 月 11 日至 10 月 28 日,无人机共飞行 1190 架次。平均飞行时间为 13 分钟,比人工运送 COVID-19 喉拭子样本所需的平均路途时间快 40 至 70 分钟。在一天中的不同时间点,无人机运送效率提高了 67.5% 至 82%。利用 5G 物联网和无人机技术运送核酸样本,具有速度快、不受地面交通状况影响、能保证核酸样本在运送过程中的安全等特点,值得进一步研究。
