Taking into account Uganda's population size, of about 40 million people, this report shows that there are only 1.3 ICU bed per million population, implying a very limited access to intensive health care in the country. Thus, it is logical to assert that Uganda's health care sytem might truly be overwhelmed if the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases increases.

Although scarcity of test kits and lack of awareness from the general public certainly contributed to the crisis, Bangladesh is one of the few countries which had more than two months to prepare for COVID-19 crisis. The crisis has already started in the form of limited availability of disinfectants and personal protective equipment in the health care facilities. The recent surge of daily testing has managed to uncover more cases and traces of transmission at the community level. Additionally, it can lead to a surge on heightened risk of exposure due to minimized health response priorities, efforts and initiatives -such as contact tracing and testing in the rural areas and considering their movement to the urban areas. cache = ./cache/cord-330395-2qoyrqmj.txt txt = ./txt/cord-330395-2qoyrqmj.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-331405-1opm5onj author = Pessa Valente, Emanuelle title = COVID-19 among health workers in Brazil: The silent wave date = 2020-06-17 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 1049 sentences = 92 flesch = 57 summary = Since the beginning of pandemic, many organizations have raised concerns with the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), low observance of social distancing measures, and scarce availability of diagnostic tests in Brazil [2, 3] . Open Knowledge Brazil (OKBR), a civil society organization that operates in support of open-access data of public interest, ranked Brazilian states with a "Transparency index", evaluating 13 criteria related to content, format and level of detail of information disclosed via official portals during COVID-19 pandemic [12] . We report here the results of a rapid review performed by systematically screening each of the 27 federal health department websites and COVID-19 dedicated portals in order to identify specific policies for HW health screening and testing, and related HW morbidity and mortality data. Information regarding COVID-19 confirmed cases among HWs was available in the official bulletins of only six (22.2%) Brazilian Federal states (Figure 1) . cache = ./cache/cord-331405-1opm5onj.txt txt = ./txt/cord-331405-1opm5onj.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-270956-qpe5u43q author = Amouzou, Agbessi title = National Sample Vital Registration System: A sustainable platform for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases surveillance in low and middle-income countries date = 2020-09-24 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 962 sentences = 65 flesch = 46 summary = T he COVID-19 pandemic raises the critical need for effective national surveillance systems, capable of detecting the onset of outbreaks rapidly but also sustainable platforms for mortality and cause of death (CoD) surveillance that allow rapid data collection to address questions during and after epidemics or crises.

South Africa responded "yes" to all readiness questions except one administrative control question: "is there a triaging system that can be applied to ARI in the health facilities?" Even in a country like South Africa which is relatively well-prepared for COVID-19, we must examine any additional resources which can be leveraged for an even more effective response. As the country rapidly prepares for mitigating community spread through actions like a nationwide lockdown and travel restrictions, ensuring a coordinated infection prevention and control response at the facility-level can further improve these gains and can ensure that South Africa leverages all possible resources [16, 17] . cache = ./cache/cord-339689-pemyxewv.txt txt = ./txt/cord-339689-pemyxewv.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-286958-e1ey31eo author = Patel, Urvish title = Early epidemiological indicators, outcomes, and interventions of COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review date = 2020-08-15 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 5035 sentences = 323 flesch = 54 summary = We evaluated the global burden of COVID-19 including case fatality rates (CFR), strength of association between deaths and cases to predict CFR, case doubling time, COVID-19 specific mortality rates, and control measures by governments to prevent spread among USA, China, Italy, Iran, Spain, Germany, India, and South Korea.

The national COVID-19 screening program in Iran is a successful measure of the response to the outbreak. Two of the main challenges that suffered painfully during the outbreak were sanctions against Iran and the circulating fake news and misinformation on social media networks. So, it was critical that sanctions and barriers to providing essential supplies to Iran would be stopped, or to be postponed at least until In order to control the outbreak faster and efficiently in Iran, social distancing must be more rigid, widespread testing must be performed to cutting down the transmission chain, and US unilateral economic sanctions must be restricted to import essential goods.

The effective results of the epidemic control to date have been largely contributed by the MOH and their drastic efforts in delivering rapid and decisive responses on all fronts from research, prevention, screening to diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. cache = ./cache/cord-309377-5pusd2pc.txt txt = ./txt/cord-309377-5pusd2pc.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-343172-9o4p0q0q author = Huynh, Toan Luu Duc title = The COVID-19 containment in Vietnam: What are we doing? date = 2020-04-15 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 1352 sentences = 80 flesch = 55 summary = T his viewpoint provides an explanation from the public health policies of Vietnamese government to contain the contagious disease with regard to COVID-19 pandemic. A combination of an early lockdown, increase in "virality" of the health information, encouragement in health declaration, regulation for wearing mask in the public, and country' s unity have been the effective ways to cope with this deadly virus in Vietnam, a developing country, which became the first country to halt the SARS spread successfully in 2003. Instead of forcing the citizens with the compulsory regulation, the Vietnam government did well to disseminate nudging-behavior policies, which can increase the "virality" of the information [4] . According to the Ministry of Information and Technology, about 6 billion messages have been sent to the Vietnamese citizens to raise their awareness about the hand-washing, self-quarantine, self-checking health, etc. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is a complex global challenge, the timely actions conducted by the Vietnamese authorities are appreciated based on behavioral economics [7] . cache = ./cache/cord-343172-9o4p0q0q.txt txt = ./txt/cord-343172-9o4p0q0q.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-351384-z6t7csg8 author = Montesó-Curto, Pilar title = Coping with the COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy and Spain: Lessons in Response Urgency date = 2020-07-28 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 1722 sentences = 94 flesch = 66 summary = title: Coping with the COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy and Spain: Lessons in Response Urgency It took the Italian government just two weeks to react firmly with the laws enacted on March 7 to establish a "red zone" throughout the country, which is when it closed all shops, except pharmacies and food stores, and banned entry and exit from the country.

The current lockdown has already exacerbated the health risks and health care resources, and are likely to continue beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine how COVID-19 lockdown impacts public health systems and nutritional outcomes in Nepal. As health systems continue to combat COVID-19, Nepal is at high risk of facing detrimental effects on (public) health care, further constraining the health resources of the country. Historically, Nepal has been facing food and nutrition security challenges with the highest prevalence of double and triple burden of malnutrition [13] .

The first official testing protocol for COVID-19 was published on March 16, just two weeks after the Ministry of Health reported the first case. Not long after the first protocol was published, the Ministry of Health (MoH) expanded designated test centres to ten MoH owned laboratories across Indonesia. Only after the President formally instructed to expand the testing capacity in the early April 2020 (4 weeks after the initial confirmed case was recorded), then the health authority started to decentralise the testing process to 48 public-owned laboratories.

At the same time, some natural outbreaks were caused by naturally altered pathogens like the Escherichia coli O104:H4 in Europe in 2011, a strain that acquired and combined unusual virulence factor and drug resistance genes [25] or in 2003 the new human coronavirus (SARS-CoV) identified with surprise in front of severe acute respiratory syndrome cases [26] . Indeed, even if the substantial remaining risk in the case of an attack is the possibility of secondary actions aiming to maximise damages to the emergency infrastructure [38] , the real challenge for global safety remains the early detection, the accurate characterisation and the establishment of specific measures, whatever the outbreak origin [39, 40] . cache = ./cache/cord-298372-4pw1y404.txt txt = ./txt/cord-298372-4pw1y404.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-328321-7e37hhia author = Olapoju, Olabisi Michael title = Estimating transportation role in pandemic diffusion in Nigeria: A consideration of 1918-19 influenza and COVID-19 pandemics date = 2020-07-28 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 2919 sentences = 138 flesch = 50 summary = METHODS: The study provides a review of the means by which the two pandemics were imported into the country and the roles the transport means of each period played in the local spread of the epidemics. RESULTS: The study notes that seaports and railways, being the emerging transportation modes in the country were significant to the importation and local diffusion of 1918-19 influenza, respectively, while air transport is significant to the importation of the current COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study is to provide an assessment of the nature and role of transport in the importation, traffic and spread of 1918-19 influenza and COVID-19 in Nigeria. On the contrary, air transport plays the most significant role in the importation of COVID-19 in Nigeria as is the case with virtually all the countries that are affected by the epidemic. cache = ./cache/cord-328321-7e37hhia.txt txt = ./txt/cord-328321-7e37hhia.txt ===== Reducing email addresses cord-339689-pemyxewv cord-351384-z6t7csg8 Creating transaction Updating adr table ===== Reducing keywords cord-302271-js06pel9 cord-284128-3obc5k5u cord-354339-tchu91av cord-288352-qt4ugr95 cord-258812-svw6z4bf cord-279345-dgdujcy3 cord-300022-2wfo6yql cord-289520-i6pv90s9 cord-306090-i8sriw08 cord-309377-5pusd2pc cord-326590-ocd9ojnc cord-270956-qpe5u43q cord-347535-tgou78o7 cord-303909-9xr7i1p5 cord-348743-fy7le3ar cord-292898-6m97l2uz cord-296445-0spqe4r2 cord-281406-d7g0pbj4 cord-297823-0d3lsjjp cord-284353-f7zkp9cf cord-296803-tde8k4kr cord-313904-745u0si8 cord-300095-a94j7vz4 cord-286958-e1ey31eo cord-311601-w2jqmpww cord-336409-crkcxpw0 cord-288983-a6s9di4g cord-351384-z6t7csg8 cord-312029-xsojdbdk cord-328321-7e37hhia cord-331405-1opm5onj cord-321800-0h28pg3b cord-298372-4pw1y404 cord-339689-pemyxewv cord-343172-9o4p0q0q cord-320002-25ivll3q cord-340663-zylk61ll cord-330395-2qoyrqmj cord-311210-q92xft2b Creating transaction Updating wrd table ===== Reducing urls cord-303909-9xr7i1p5 cord-279345-dgdujcy3 cord-300095-a94j7vz4 cord-296803-tde8k4kr cord-289520-i6pv90s9 cord-288352-qt4ugr95 cord-288983-a6s9di4g cord-330395-2qoyrqmj cord-313904-745u0si8 cord-298372-4pw1y404 cord-309377-5pusd2pc Creating transaction Updating url table ===== Reducing named entities cord-279345-dgdujcy3 cord-284128-3obc5k5u cord-303909-9xr7i1p5 cord-302271-js06pel9 cord-258812-svw6z4bf cord-311601-w2jqmpww cord-296803-tde8k4kr cord-289520-i6pv90s9 cord-297823-0d3lsjjp cord-300095-a94j7vz4 cord-300022-2wfo6yql cord-284353-f7zkp9cf cord-270956-qpe5u43q cord-347535-tgou78o7 cord-288352-qt4ugr95 cord-354339-tchu91av cord-348743-fy7le3ar cord-296445-0spqe4r2 cord-336409-crkcxpw0 cord-292898-6m97l2uz cord-306090-i8sriw08 cord-320002-25ivll3q cord-313904-745u0si8 cord-286958-e1ey31eo cord-326590-ocd9ojnc cord-351384-z6t7csg8 cord-343172-9o4p0q0q cord-309377-5pusd2pc cord-288983-a6s9di4g cord-281406-d7g0pbj4 cord-298372-4pw1y404 cord-331405-1opm5onj cord-328321-7e37hhia cord-340663-zylk61ll cord-311210-q92xft2b cord-339689-pemyxewv cord-312029-xsojdbdk cord-330395-2qoyrqmj cord-321800-0h28pg3b Creating transaction Updating ent table ===== Reducing parts of speech cord-258812-svw6z4bf cord-296803-tde8k4kr cord-306090-i8sriw08 cord-279345-dgdujcy3 cord-326590-ocd9ojnc cord-303909-9xr7i1p5 cord-284128-3obc5k5u cord-296445-0spqe4r2 cord-311601-w2jqmpww cord-348743-fy7le3ar cord-288352-qt4ugr95 cord-340663-zylk61ll cord-331405-1opm5onj cord-297823-0d3lsjjp cord-289520-i6pv90s9 cord-300095-a94j7vz4 cord-270956-qpe5u43q cord-302271-js06pel9 cord-292898-6m97l2uz cord-288983-a6s9di4g cord-281406-d7g0pbj4 cord-309377-5pusd2pc cord-300022-2wfo6yql cord-354339-tchu91av cord-336409-crkcxpw0 cord-343172-9o4p0q0q cord-313904-745u0si8 cord-312029-xsojdbdk cord-339689-pemyxewv cord-284353-f7zkp9cf cord-347535-tgou78o7 cord-351384-z6t7csg8 cord-330395-2qoyrqmj cord-321800-0h28pg3b cord-286958-e1ey31eo cord-320002-25ivll3q cord-311210-q92xft2b cord-328321-7e37hhia cord-298372-4pw1y404 Creating transaction Updating pos table Building ./etc/reader.txt cord-309377-5pusd2pc cord-300022-2wfo6yql cord-286958-e1ey31eo cord-300022-2wfo6yql cord-303909-9xr7i1p5 cord-289520-i6pv90s9 number of items: 39 sum of words: 97,283 average size in words: 2,494 average readability score: 50 nouns: health;

The lockdown and quarantine measures taken by most countries have been daunting for its HIV/AIDS-infected migrant population (legal or illegal) many of whom have been forced into unemployment and are unsure how to access appropriate health support, obtain essential medications or treatment [6] . The World Health Organization (WHO) should provide guidelines to all countries with HIV/AIDS infected migrants (whether legal or illegal) to adhere to so the migrant population continues to receive fair, assured and uninterrupted supply of ART treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain their immunity, health and decrease risk of CO-VID-19 contraction. abstract: nan url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/33110542/ doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.020342 id: cord-288352-qt4ugr95 author: Ajari, Esther Ejiroghene title: Assessment of the preparedness of the Ugandan health care system to tackle more COVID-19 cases date: 2020-08-18 words: 1278 sentences: 79 pages: flesch: 60 cache: ./cache/cord-288352-qt4ugr95.txt txt: ./txt/cord-288352-qt4ugr95.txt summary: The Ugandan health care system, for example, had an 81-day pre-outbreak opportunity and still has a post-outbreak opportunity since it only has 413 confirmed COVID-19 cases, a relatively low figure, as at May 30, 2020 [3] . Taking into account Uganda''s population size, of about 40 million people, this report shows that there are only 1.3 ICU bed per million population, implying a very limited access to intensive health care in the country. Thus, it is logical to assert that Uganda''s health care sytem might truly be overwhelmed if the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases increases. Therefore, since, most COVID-19 cases in the country, has been among males, aged between 20-49 years, there is reason to suspect that the zero death incidence from the disease might not be due to the efficiency of the Ugandan health care system. abstract: nan url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/33110509/ doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.020305 id: cord-300022-2wfo6yql author: Ammar, Walid title: Health system resilience: Lebanon and the Syrian refugee crisis date: 2016-12-14 words: 4812 sentences: 249 pages: flesch: 45 cache: ./cache/cord-300022-2wfo6yql.txt txt: ./txt/cord-300022-2wfo6yql.txt summary: When studying the resilience of the Lebanese health system we drew on insights from studies of health systems that have faced refugee crises -studies which have considered the ability of a health system to maintain service delivery, prevent major outbreaks and sustain improvements in population level outcome indicators including utilization, service coverage, morbidity and mortality rates, as measures of success [30] [31] [32] [33] . The MOPH information systems and the maternal mortality observatory data sets are designed to incorporate ongoing assessment and reporting related to displaced Syrians, including for immunization coverage, disease surveillance and utilization of health services in addition to maternal and child mortality. Our findings indicate that the health system in Lebanon was able to maintain service delivery for both refugees and Lebanese citizens, prevent communicable diseases and sustain improvements in morbidity and mortality levels in the presence of major external and internal shocks, despite relatively limited increase in system inputs. abstract: BACKGROUND: Between 2011 and 2013, the Lebanese population increased by 30% due to the influx of Syrian refugees. While a sudden increase of such magnitude represents a shock to the health system, threatening the continuity of service delivery and destabilizing governance, it also offers a unique opportunity to study resilience of a health system amidst ongoing crisis. METHODS: We conceptualized resilience as the capacity of a health system to absorb internal or external shocks (for example prevent or contain disease outbreaks and maintain functional health institutions) while sustaining achievements. We explored factors contributing to the resilience of the Lebanese health system, including networking with stakeholders, diversification of the health system, adequate infrastructure and health human resources, a comprehensive communicable disease response and the integration of the refugees within the health system. RESULTS: In studying the case of Lebanon we used input–process–output–outcome approach to assess the resilience of the Lebanese health system. This approach provided us with a holistic view of the health system, as it captured not only the sustained and improved outcomes, but also the inputs and processes leading to them. CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that the Lebanese health system was resilient as its institutions sustained their performance during the crisis and even improved. url: https://doi.org/10.7189/jogh.06.020704 doi: 10.7189/jogh.06.020704 id: cord-270956-qpe5u43q author: Amouzou, Agbessi title: National Sample Vital Registration System: A sustainable platform for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases surveillance in low and middle-income countries date: 2020-09-24 words: 962 sentences: 65 pages: flesch: 46 cache: ./cache/cord-270956-qpe5u43q.txt txt: ./txt/cord-270956-qpe5u43q.txt summary: T he COVID-19 pandemic raises the critical need for effective national surveillance systems, capable of detecting the onset of outbreaks rapidly but also sustainable platforms for mortality and cause of death (CoD) surveillance that allow rapid data collection to address questions during and after epidemics or crises.

In a matter of days, the local authorities conclude that the health care facilities were insufficient to handle the emergency and announced plans to build from scratch not one but two new hospitals. The global health community must thus push countries harder to keep strengthening their research capacity and basic health care infrastructure along with emergency handling and planning efforts. International human rights law is critical as it transforms global health best practices in legal duties.

As there is a paucity of evidence on which population is more likely to progress into severe conditions among cases, we looked into the first cluster of death cases, aiming to add to current evidence and reduce panic among the population. METHODS: We prospectively collected the demographic and clinical data of the first 38 fatalities whose information was made public by the Health Commission of Hubei province and the official Weibo account of China Central Television news center, starting from 9 January through 24 January 2020. The death cases were described from four aspects (gender and age characteristics, underlying diseases, the time course of death, symptoms at the incipience of illness and hospital admission). RESULTS: Among the 38 fatalities, 71.05% were male, and 28.95% were female, with the median age of 70 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 65-81). Persons aged 66-75 made up the largest share. Twenty-five cases had a history of chronic diseases. The median time between the first symptoms and death was 12.50 days (IQR = 10.00-16.25), while the median time between the admission and death was 8.50 (IQR = 5.00-12.00) days. In persons aged over 56 years, the time between the first symptoms and death decreased with age, and so did the time between the admission and death, though the latter increased again in persons aged over 85 years. The major first symptoms included fever (52.63%), cough (31.58%), dyspnea (23.68%), myalgia and fatigue (15.79%). CONCLUSIONS: Among the death cases, persons with underlying diseases and aged over 65 made up the majority. The time between the first symptoms and death decreased with the advanced age. In all the age groups, males dominated the fatalities. url: https://doi.org/10.7189/jogh-10-011004 doi: 10.7189/jogh-10-011004 id: cord-336409-crkcxpw0 author: Ganasegeran, Kurubaran title: COVID-19 in Malaysia: Crucial measures in critical times date: 2020-08-11 words: 1484 sentences: 72 pages: flesch: 45 cache: ./cache/cord-336409-crkcxpw0.txt txt: ./txt/cord-336409-crkcxpw0.txt summary: Albeit the global COVID-19 pandemic trend is increasing, Malaysia is seeing a decrease on the number of infections, with high recoveries and low mortality rates [1] .

Since then, there have been over 75 000 cases globally of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), 2000 deaths, and over 14 000 cases recovered. Outbreaks of novel agents represent opportunities for clinical research to inform real-time public health action. In 2018, we conducted a systematic review to identify priority research questions for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Here, we review information available on COVID-19 and provide an evidenced-based framework for priority clinical research in the current outbreak. METHODS: Three bibliographic databases were searched to identify clinical studies published on SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in the outbreak setting. Studies were grouped thematically according to clinical research questions addressed. In February 2020, available information on COVID19 was reviewed and compared to the results of the SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV systematic review. RESULTS: From the research objectives for SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, ten themes in the literature were identified: Clinical characterisation, prognosis, diagnosis, clinical management, viral pathogenesis, epidemiological characterisation, infection prevention and control/transmission, susceptibility, psychosocial, and aetiology. For COVID19, some information on clinical presentation, diagnostic testing, and aetiology is available but many clinical research gaps have yet to be filled. CONCLUSIONS: Based on a systematic review of other severe coronaviruses, we summarise the state of clinical research for COVID-19, highlight the research gaps, and provide recommendations for the implementation of standardised protocols. Data based on internationally standardised protocols will inform clinical practice real-time. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32257173/ doi: 10.7189/jogh.10-011001 id: cord-258812-svw6z4bf author: Hu, Haifeng title: Early prediction and identification for severe patients during the pandemic of COVID-19: A severe COVID-19 risk model constructed by multivariate logistic regression analysis date: 2020-09-04 words: 4421 sentences: 224 pages: flesch: 47 cache: ./cache/cord-258812-svw6z4bf.txt txt: ./txt/cord-258812-svw6z4bf.txt summary: Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that venerable age, hypertension, lymphopenia, hypoalbuminemia and elevated neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were the independent high-risk factors for severe COVID-19.

The early identification and timely treatment of severe patients are crucial to reducing the mortality of COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and early predictors for severe COVID-19, and to establish a prediction model for the identification and triage of severe patients. METHODS: All confirmed patients with COVID-19 admitted by the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University were enrolled in this retrospective non-interventional study. The patients were divided into a mild group and a severe group, and the clinical data were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify the independent early predictors for severe COVID-19, and the prediction model was constructed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of the prediction model and each early predictor. RESULTS: A total of 40 patients were enrolled in this study, of whom 19 were mild and 21 were severe. The proportions of patients with venerable age (≥60 years old), comorbidities, and hypertension in severe patients were higher than that of the mild (P < 0.05). The duration of fever and respiratory symptoms, and the interval from illness onset to viral clearance were longer in severe patients (P < 0.05). Most patients received at least one form of oxygen treatments, while severe patients required more mechanical ventilation (P < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that venerable age, hypertension, lymphopenia, hypoalbuminemia and elevated neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were the independent high-risk factors for severe COVID-19. ROC curves demonstrated significant predictive value of age, lymphocyte count, albumin and NLR for severe COVID-19. The sensitivity and specificity of the newly constructed prediction model for predicting severe COVID-19 was 90.5% and 84.2%, respectively, and whose positive predictive value, negative predictive value and crude agreement were all over 85%.

Here, the USA and China are the highest-ranking countries, demonstrating their overall interest in CoV research and also focusing on the MERS pandemic, despite the relatively low case numbers. abstract: BACKGROUND: The currently prevailing global threat of COVID-19 caused the publication numbers on coronaviruses to explode. The awareness of the scientific and public community is enormous. But what about the sense of all these undertakings and what can be learned about the future for a better understanding? These questions were answered with established bibliometric analyses of the time until the avalanche of publications unfolded. METHODS: Chronological, geographical aspects of publication output on coronavirus were also evaluated under the influence of epidemiological and socio-economic parameters. RESULTS: The trend in publication and citation numbers shows the strong influence of the past pandemics SARS and MERS with an untypical decline afterward. Research is becoming increasingly multidisciplinary over time. The USA and China, as the countries with the highest number of publications, are being displaced by other countries in the consideration of socio-economic and epidemiological aspects, which shows the effect of regional interest in corona research. A significant correlation was found between the number of SARS cases per country and related publications, while no correlation was found for MERS cases and articles. CONCLUSIONS: The results underline the need for sustainable and forward-looking approaches that should not end with the containment of COVID-19. url: https://doi.org/10.7189/jogh.10.020508 doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.020508 id: cord-298372-4pw1y404 author: Koch, Lionel title: Natural outbreaks and bioterrorism: How to deal with the two sides of the same coin? date: 2020-08-18 words: 6206 sentences: 286 pages: flesch: 42 cache: ./cache/cord-298372-4pw1y404.txt txt: ./txt/cord-298372-4pw1y404.txt summary: The last Ebola outbreak in 2014 in West Africa was regarded as a paradigm of the issues caused by emerging infectious diseases nowadays: this extremely deadly pathogen has naturally emerged in a large new area, and its overwhelming spread has subsequently impacted Europe and the United States [3] .

Indeed, even if the substantial remaining risk in the case of an attack is the possibility of secondary actions aiming to maximise damages to the emergency infrastructure [38] , the real challenge for global safety remains the early detection, the accurate characterisation and the establishment of specific measures, whatever the outbreak origin [39, 40] . abstract: nan url: https://doi.org/10.7189/jogh.10.020317 doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.020317 id: cord-296803-tde8k4kr author: Lundin, Rebecca title: Gender-based violence during the COVID-19 pandemic response in Italy date: 2020-09-07 words: 1501 sentences: 77 pages: flesch: 52 cache: ./cache/cord-296803-tde8k4kr.txt txt: ./txt/cord-296803-tde8k4kr.txt summary: During the current COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO and other international authorities have warned about the increased risk of GBV related to more time spent indoors, isolation from social and protective networks, and greater social and economic stress related to both the epidemic and response measures [2] [3] [4] .

The Pneumonia Research for Child Health (PERCH) project [15] is a 7-site case-control study to identify the cause of pneumonia among children in developing countries. Currently, there is no study from India reporting etiology of CAP in a large cohort of children, using multiple biological samples, and various sensitive as well as specific microbiologic methods. We initiated the Community Acquired Pneumonia Etiology Study (CAPES) to address this knowledge gap by determining the microbiologic etiology of CAP in a cohort of Indian children using multiple biological specimens (blood, nasopharyngeal aspirates, bronchoalveolar lavage) and the relationship between etiology and pneumonia severity. Lower respiratory infections among hospitalized children in New Caledonia: a pilot study for the Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health project abstract: BACKGROUND: Childhood community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a significant problem in developing countries, and confirmation of microbial etiology is important for individual, as well as public health. However, there is paucity of data from a large cohort, examining multiple biological specimens for diverse pathogens (bacteria and viruses). The Community Acquired Pneumonia Etiology Study (CAPES) was designed to address this knowledge gap. METHODS: We enrolled children with CAP (based on WHO IMCI criteria of tachypnea with cough or breathing difficulty) over 24 consecutive months, and recorded presenting symptoms, risk factors, clinical signs, and chest radiography. We performed blood and nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) bacterial cultures, and serology (Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae). We also performed multiplex PCR for 25 bacterial/viral species in a subgroup representing 20% of the cohort. Children requiring endotracheal intubation underwent culture and PCR of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens. FINDINGS: We enrolled 2345 children. NPA and blood cultures yielded bacteria in only 322 (13.7%) and 49 (2.1%) children respectively. In NPA, Streptococcus pneumoniae (79.1%) predominated, followed by Haemophilus influenzae (9.6%) and Staphylococcus aureus (6.8%). In blood, S. aureus (30.6%) dominated, followed by S. pneumoniae (20.4%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.2%). M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae serology were positive in 4.3% and 1.1% respectively. Multiplex PCR in 428 NPA specimens identified organisms in 422 (98.6%); of these 352 (82.2%) had multiple organisms and only 70 (16.4%) had a single organism viz. S. pneumoniae: 35 (50%), Cytomegalovirus (CMV): 13 (18.6%), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): 9 (12.9%), other viruses: 6 (8.7%), S. aureus: 5 (7.1%), and H. influenzae: 2 (2.9%). BAL PCR (n = 30) identified single pathogens in 10 (S. pneumoniae–3, CMV–3, S. aureus–2, H. influenzae–2) and multiple pathogens in 18 children. There were 108 (4.6%) deaths. The pattern of pathogens identified did not correlate with pneumonia severity or mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of children with CAP have multiple pathogens (bacteria and viruses). S. pneumoniae and S. aureus predominate in NPA and blood respectively. CMV and RSV were the dominant respiratory viruses in NPA and BAL. The presence of multiple pathogens, especially organisms associated with nasopharyngeal carriage, precludes confirmation of a causal relationship in most cases. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26528392/ doi: 10.7189/jogh.05.020418 id: cord-351384-z6t7csg8 author: Montesó-Curto, Pilar title: Coping with the COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy and Spain: Lessons in Response Urgency date: 2020-07-28 words: 1722 sentences: 94 pages: flesch: 66 cache: ./cache/cord-351384-z6t7csg8.txt txt: ./txt/cord-351384-z6t7csg8.txt summary: title: Coping with the COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy and Spain: Lessons in Response Urgency It took the Italian government just two weeks to react firmly with the laws enacted on March 7 to establish a "red zone" throughout the country, which is when it closed all shops, except pharmacies and food stores, and banned entry and exit from the country.

South Africa responded "yes" to all readiness questions except one administrative control question: "is there a triaging system that can be applied to ARI in the health facilities?" Even in a country like South Africa which is relatively well-prepared for COVID-19, we must examine any additional resources which can be leveraged for an even more effective response.

We aimed to evaluate epidemiological characteristics, needs of resources, outcomes, and global burden of the disease. METHODS: Systematic review was performed searching PubMed from December 1, 2019, to March 25, 2020, for full-text observational studies that described epidemiological characteristics, following MOOSE protocol. Global data were collected from the JHU-Corona Virus Resource Center, WHO-COVID-2019 situation reports, KFF.org, and Worldometers.info until March 31, 2020. The prevalence percentages were calculated. The global data were plotted in excel to calculate case fatality rate (CFR), predicted CFR, COVID-19 specific mortality rate, and doubling time for cases and deaths. CFR was predicted using Pearson correlation, regression models, and coefficient of determination. RESULTS: From 21 studies of 2747 patients, 8.4% of patients died, 20.4% recovered, 15.4% were admitted to ICU and 14.9% required ventilation. COVID-19 was more prevalent in patients with hypertension (19.3%), smoking (11.3%), diabetes mellitus (10%), and cardiovascular diseases (7.4%). Common complications were pneumonia (82%), cardiac complications (26.4%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (15.7%), secondary infection (11.2%), and septic shock (4.3%). Though CFR and COVID-19 specific death rates are dynamic, they were consistently high for Italy, Spain, and Iran. Polynomial growth models were best fit for all countries for predicting CFR. Though many interventions have been implemented, stern measures like nationwide lockdown and school closure occurred after very high infection rates (>10cases per 100 000population) prevailed. Given the trend of government measures and decline of new cases in China and South Korea, most countries will reach the peak between April 1-20, if interventions are followed. CONCLUSIONS: A collective approach undertaken by a responsible government, wise strategy implementation and a receptive population may help contain the spread of COVID-19 outbreak. Close monitoring of predictive models of such indicators in the highly affected countries would help to evaluate the potential fatality if the second wave of pandemic occurs. The future studies should be focused on identifying accurate indicators to mitigate the effect of underestimation or overestimation of COVID-19 burden. url: https://doi.org/10.7189/jogh.10.020506 doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.020506 id: cord-331405-1opm5onj author: Pessa Valente, Emanuelle title: COVID-19 among health workers in Brazil: The silent wave date: 2020-06-17 words: 1049 sentences: 92 pages: flesch: 57 cache: ./cache/cord-331405-1opm5onj.txt txt: ./txt/cord-331405-1opm5onj.txt summary: Since the beginning of pandemic, many organizations have raised concerns with the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), low observance of social distancing measures, and scarce availability of diagnostic tests in Brazil [2, 3] .

The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for the complications and death in women of childbearing age and pregnant women with suspected COVID-19. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted from the beginning of the epidemic in Mexico until May 25, 2020. All women of childbearing age (13-49 years) from the open national COVID-19 database from the Ministry of Health of Mexico were considered for eligibility. SARS-COV-2 infection was confirmed or ruled out by RT-qPCR. We performed a bivariate and multivariable analysis to estimate mortality risk. RESULTS: Ten (2.2%) pregnant women with confirmed COVID-19 died. Positive pregnant patients did not have a higher risk of complications (admission to the ICU, pneumonia, or requirement for mechanical ventilation) or death than the controls. In the multivariate analysis, only history of diabetes and chronic kidney disease remained independently associated with death in the positive cohort. Seven (0.6%) pregnant women with a negative test died. In bivariate analysis, pregnant patients with a positive test had a higher risk of death than pregnant patients with a negative test (relative risk (RR) = 3.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.48-10.12), but no higher risk was found than in non-pregnant women with a positive test (RR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.44-1.53), and 60-day mortality did not significantly differ among pregnant patients with or without a positive test (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.12-1.30) or between COVID-19-positive patients who were pregnant or not pregnant (HR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.35-1.56). CONCLUSIONS: Pregnant patients do not have a greater risk of complications or death from COVID-19 than non-pregnant patients.

The national COVID-19 screening program in Iran is a successful measure of the response to the outbreak. Two of the main challenges that suffered painfully during the outbreak were sanctions against Iran and the circulating fake news and misinformation on social media networks. So, it was critical that sanctions and barriers to providing essential supplies to Iran would be stopped, or to be postponed at least until In order to control the outbreak faster and efficiently in Iran, social distancing must be more rigid, widespread testing must be performed to cutting down the transmission chain, and US unilateral economic sanctions must be restricted to import essential goods.

Historically, Nepal has been facing food and nutrition security challenges with the highest prevalence of double and triple burden of malnutrition [13] . Equally important, health systems should ensure critical care interventions to screen, diagnose, and treat COVID-19 patients across the country. abstract: nan url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32582440/ doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.010378 id: cord-288983-a6s9di4g author: Su, Sheng-Fang title: How Taiwan, a non-WHO member, takes actions in response to COVID-19 date: 2020-06-17 words: 1815 sentences: 95 pages: flesch: 50 cache: ./cache/cord-288983-a6s9di4g.txt txt: ./txt/cord-288983-a6s9di4g.txt summary: The success of Taiwan for anti-epidemic measures included: quick response and efficient management, central production and distribution of masks/medical supplies, quarantine/isolation regulations with tracking contacts technology, and coordination between government, medical workers, public health professionals, and the whole Taiwanese society.

A unique feature of many testing venues in Singapore is that they are outdoors with the average of 30°C tropical weather, rendering the prolonged use of conventional personal protective equipment (PPE) or full-body protection uncomfortable. The widespread incidence and expected protracted duration of the COVID-19 pandemic has also prompted concerns for minimising the use of PPE especially for high-volume or brief procedures with a short duration of high-risk patient contact, such as throat swabbing. The protection of health care workers is vital in continuing patient care in health care systems that are currently challenged by the pandemic, but also important in ensuring they do not spread the virus. abstract: nan url: https://doi.org/10.7189/jogh.10.010357 doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.010357 id: cord-309377-5pusd2pc author: Tran, Thi Phuong Thao title: Rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic: Vietnam government’s experience and preliminary success date: 2020-07-28 words: 6415 sentences: 373 pages: flesch: 52 cache: ./cache/cord-309377-5pusd2pc.txt txt: ./txt/cord-309377-5pusd2pc.txt summary: To date, the pandemic has been successfully controlled thanks to the Vietnamese government''s prompt, proactive and decisive responses including mobilization of the health care systems, security forces, economic policies, along with a creative and effective communication campaign corresponding with crucial milestones of the epidemic''s progression. • On 1 April, Vietnam government enacted the Directive No. 16/CT-TTg on implementing strict social distancing rules nationwide for 15 d to prevent the spread of COVID-19. • Additionally, penalties of violations of COVID-19 prevention and control policies were imposed including not wearing masks in public places, concealing health status, opening non-essential businesses, gathering of more than 10 people, spreading ''fake news'' and others [91] . The effective results of the epidemic control to date have been largely contributed by the MOH and their drastic efforts in delivering rapid and decisive responses on all fronts from research, prevention, screening to diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. abstract: BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has hit all corners of the world, challenging governments to act promptly in controlling the spread of the pandemic. Due to limited resources and inferior technological capacities, developing countries including Vietnam have faced many challenges in combating the pandemic. Since the first cases were detected on 23 January 2020, Vietnam has undergone a 3-month fierce battle to control the outbreak with stringent measures from the government to mitigate the adverse impacts. In this study, we aim to give insights into the Vietnamese government’s progress during the first three months of the outbreak. Additionally, we relatively compare Vietnam’s response with that of other Southeast Asia countries to deliver a clear and comprehensive view on disease control strategies. METHODS: The data on the number of COVID-19 confirmed and recovered cases in Vietnam was obtained from the Dashboard for COVID-19 statistics of the Ministry of Health (https://ncov.vncdc.gov.vn/). The review on Vietnam’s country-level responses was conducted by searching for relevant government documents issued on the online database ‘Vietnam Laws Repository’ (https://thuvienphapluat.vn/en/index.aspx), with the grey literature on Google and relevant official websites. A stringency index of government policies and the countries’ respective numbers of confirmed cases of nine Southeast Asian countries were adapted from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-projects/coronavirus-government-response-tracker). All data was updated as of 24 April 2020. RESULTS: Preliminary positive results have been achieved given that the nation confirmed no new community-transmitted cases since 16 April and zero COVID-19 – related deaths throughout the 3-month pandemic period. To date, the pandemic has been successfully controlled thanks to the Vietnamese government’s prompt, proactive and decisive responses including mobilization of the health care systems, security forces, economic policies, along with a creative and effective communication campaign corresponding with crucial milestones of the epidemic’s progression. CONCLUSIONS: Vietnam could be one of the role models in pandemic control for low-resource settings. As the pandemic is still ongoing in an unpredictable trajectory, disease control measures should continue to be put in place in the foreseeable short term. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/33110585/ doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.020502 id: cord-311210-q92xft2b author: van Empel, Giovanni title: Undertesting of COVID-19 in Indonesia: what has gone wrong? date: 2020-07-28 words: 999 sentences: 70 pages: flesch: 56 cache: ./cache/cord-311210-q92xft2b.txt txt: ./txt/cord-311210-q92xft2b.txt summary: A country of 267 million and the fourth largest in the world, Indonesia reports a relatively small number of confirmed COVID-19 cases compared to other affected countries. The first official testing protocol for COVID-19 was published on March 16, just two weeks after the Ministry of Health reported the first case. Not long after the first protocol was published, the Ministry of Health (MoH) expanded designated test centres to ten MoH owned laboratories across Indonesia. Only after the President formally instructed to expand the testing capacity in the early April 2020 (4 weeks after the initial confirmed case was recorded), then the health authority started to decentralise the testing process to 48 public-owned laboratories. The first category is called person under surveillance which is defined as individuals who have mild acute respiratory infection symptoms with travel history from outbreak area or history of close contact to confirmed cases. abstract: nan url: https://doi.org/10.7189/jogh.10.020306 doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.020306 id: cord-297823-0d3lsjjp author: Čivljak, Rok title: Earthquake in the time of COVID-19: The story from Croatia (CroVID-20) date: 2020-05-02 words: 1296 sentences: 54 pages: flesch: 55 cache: ./cache/cord-297823-0d3lsjjp.txt txt: ./txt/cord-297823-0d3lsjjp.txt summary: The Government of the Republic of Croatia has established the National Civil Defense Headquarters in order to raise the level of preparedness of all the competent authorities, protect the health of Croatian citizens and coordinate all the services in the battle against SARS-CoV-2 in Croatia. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior was chosen to lead the headquarters, whose members are the Director of the Croatian Institute of Public Health, the Director of the Croatian Institute of Emergency Medicine, and the Director of the Dr Fran Mihaljević University Hospital for Infectious Diseases (UHID), who is also the President of the Croatian Society for Biosafety and Biosecurity. In addition to property damage, we were quite apprehensive that the earthquake would accelerate the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic in Croatia since the earthquake, which left many homeless and fearful of earthquakes to come, triggered migrations to other parts of the country. abstract: nan url: https://doi.org/10.7189/jogh.10.010349 doi: 10.7189/jogh.10.010349 ==== make-pages.sh questions [ERIC WAS HERE] ==== make-pages.sh search /data-disk/reader-compute/reader-cord/bin/make-pages.sh: line 77: /data-disk/reader-compute/reader-cord/tmp/search.htm: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/data-disk/reader-compute/reader-cord/bin/tsv2htm-search.py", line 51, in with open( TEMPLATE, 'r' ) as handle : htm = handle.read() FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/data-disk/reader-compute/reader-cord/tmp/search.htm' ==== make-pages.sh topic modeling corpus Zipping study carrel
