ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
The executive committee of the World Council of Churches, meeting by video-conference on 17–20 May 2021, applauds the cooperation and collaboration of the global scientific community that led to unprecedented rapid progress in understanding SARS-CoV-2 and developing reliable diagnostics, therapeutic models, and highly effective vaccines. At the same time, we also recognize that similar global cooperation has not yet been demonstrated in the distribution of these scientific advances to all of humankind, which suffers unequally from the continuing burdens of this pandemic.
ABSTRACT
Countries deviating from coronavirus vaccine schedules set out by drug companies must be more transparent - to maintain public trust and to share the benefits of their knowledge.
ABSTRACT
A 22-year-old woman exhibited drug ineffectiveness during off label treatment with azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir for COVID-19 pneumonia during pregnancy, and prophylactic thromboembolic treatment with enoxaparin sodium during post-partum period. Additionally, she received methylprednisolone for fetal lung maturation during pregnancy [not all routes stated].
ABSTRACT
In a retrospective study of 76 patients, who had been receiving immunosuppressive therapy between 16 September 2019 and 16 September 2020, 15 patients (9 men and 6 women) aged 44−89 years were described, who developed COVID-19 infection during treatment with rituximab, omalizumab, mycophenolate-mofetil, hydroxychloroquine, eculizumab, cyclophosphamide, prednisone, mycophenolate-sodium, tacrolimus, belimumab, azathioprine, adalimumab, methotrexate or etanercept as immunosuppressant therapy.
ABSTRACT
A 3.5-year-old girl died after developing lethal COVID-19 respiratory infection during treatment with prednisolone and methotrexate for an unclassified autoinflammatory disease. Additionally, she exhibited lack of efficacy during treatment with levosimendan, dobutamine, milrinone, norepinephrine and vasopressin for arterial hypotension [routes not stated].

ABSTRACT
The WHO and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommend various triage tools to assist decision-making for patients with suspected COVID-19. We aimed to compare the accuracy of triage tools for predicting severe illness in adults presenting to the ED with suspected COVID-19.
ABSTRACT
In 2007, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) initiated the RAGIDA project (Risk Assessment Guidelines for Infectious Diseases transmitted on Aircraft). This was in order to assist national public health authorities in the European Union in assessing the risks associated with the transmission of infectious agents on-board aircrafts, and to help in the decisions on the most appropriate, operationally feasible public health measures for containment (e.g. on whether to contact trace air passengers and crew in case of exposure). The RAGIDA project combines evidence retrieved from the literature with expert knowledge. In 2009, the production of the series of guidance documents for assisting in the evaluation of risk for transmission was initiated for several infectious diseases. The resulting disease-specific operational documents provide a range of viable options for decision-makers, particularly when faced with the choice of whether to contact trace air travellers and crew potentially exposed to infectious diseases during a flight. This RAGIDA guidance is to assist public health authorities in decision making regarding contact tracing when a case of MERS-CoV is found to have been travelling on an aircraft. A literature review was performed from January to May 2019, after which an expert meeting was organised in November 2019 to discuss the scientific basis for public health measures. Participants of the expert panel were selected from public health experts with experience in the investigation and follow-up of cases and MERS-CoV experts, as well as experts from the aviation sector, the medical evacuation field, and representatives of ECDC and the World Health Organization. No conflicts of interest were declared by any of the participants.
