“…Rahman et al’s systematic evaluation approach offers valuable insights for this study, particularly in response measures for Southeast and South Asia ( 59 ). However, most studies only address single points in emergency management, such as evacuation or healthcare responses ( 60 , 61 ). Unlike Brooks et al’s study, this paper examines the dynamic interaction between event sets and constructs a scenario model for analyzing COVID-19 emergency management in Wuhan ( 7 ).…”

Infectious diseases pose a severe threat to human health and are accompanied by significant economic losses. Studies of urban outbreaks of infectious diseases are diverse. However, previous studies have neglected the identification of critical events and the evaluation of scenario-based modeling of urban infectious disease outbreak emergency management mechanisms. In this paper, we aim to conduct an empirical analysis and scenario extrapolation using a questionnaire survey of 18 experts, based on the CIA-ISM method and scenario theory, to identify the key factors influencing urban infectious disease outbreaks. Subsequently, we evaluate the effectiveness of urban infectious disease outbreak emergency management mechanisms. Finally, we compare and verify the actual situation of COVID-19 in China, drawing the following conclusions and recommendations. (1) The scenario-based urban infectious disease emergency management model can effectively replicate the development of urban infectious diseases. (2) The establishment of an emergency command center and the isolation and observation of individuals exposed to infectious diseases are crucial factors in the emergency management of urban outbreaks of infectious disease.

IntroductionPoor adherence to guidelines during empirical antibiotic prescription in low-income countries could increase antimicrobial resistance without improving outcomes. Revised World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines published in 2014 on childhood (2–59 months) pneumonia re-defined the classification of severe pneumonia and changed the first-line treatment. The adherence to WHO guidelines in southern Ethiopia at the hospital level is unknown. We sought to determine the adherence to WHO guidelines on severe pneumonia first-line treatment in children in an Ethiopian referral hospital and assess the impact of non-adherence on patient outcomes.MethodsAn observational study was conducted on all children (2–59 months) clinically diagnosed with severe pneumonia and admitted to the Pediatric Ward of Jinka Hospital from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2022. Exclusion criteria included a known HIV infection, ongoing antibiotic treatment before the event not related to acute pneumonia, or any other severe bacterial infection, confirmed or suspected. Adherence to guidelines was defined as first-line treatment with ampicillin or benzylpenicillin and gentamicin at the recommended dose. We compared the patients treated adherently vs. non-adherently. For categorical variables, the chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used, while for continuous variables, the Mann–Whitney U-test was used. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between adherence and demographic and clinical characteristics.ResultsDuring the observational period, 266 patients were registered as having severe pneumonia with an age between 2 and 59 months. After excluding 114 patients due to missing charts or other exclusion criteria, a total of 152 patients were included in the analysis. Of these, 78 (51%) were girls with a median age of 10 months (IQR 7–14). Overall, 75 (49%) patients received therapy according to the WHO guidelines. Compared to patients treated adherently to the guidelines, patients not treated adherently had similar outcomes [median length of stay of 3 (IQR 3–5) and 4 (IQR 3–6) days], median duration of oxygen therapy of 2 (IQR 1–3) for both the groups, and self-discharge rates of 5% and 6.5%, respectively).ConclusionAdherence to the revised WHO guideline was limited and not associated with outcomes. Efforts should focus on reducing the gap between theory and practice.

“…This is accomplished by interaction with the ACE2 receptor on the host cell's surface, which mediates viral entrance. The measured weight of the S protein is 600-kDa, which has 66 N-linked glycans that explain its heavy glycosylation [17] . The elements are known as spike proteins translated from the viral RNA template by the infected host, and the spike is integrated into the lipid bilayer around the virus core [24] .…”

“…These variants have caused widespread concern and alarm, resulting in the imposition of stricter lockdown measures and travel restrictions globally [10] , [16] . The discovery of these increasingly severe and extremely communicable varieties is a significant setback in the ongoing battle against the COVID-19 catastrophe [17] , [18] .…”
