“…Here, we focus on a much smaller scale, namely, how SLPs can think about and prepare for TL care in future situations where clinical services are disrupted by large-scale health crises. Unfortunately for TL patients, as well as others with a tracheostomy, the chances are high that respiratory viruses will be the cause of the next epidemic or pandemic (Gray & Abdelgadir, 2021), again placing them at high risk of infection and transmission.…”

Purpose This study described the clinical experiences of patients with a total laryngectomy (TL) during the COVID-19 pandemic and identified changes in communication, tracheostoma care, and heat–moisture exchange (HME) use that were recommended or self-implemented. Method An online survey addressing the study aims was completed by 173 people with a TL who live in the United States. The survey was open from July 5 to August 10, 2020. Results In-person clinic visits, appointment cancellations, and contact from their speech-language pathologists (SLPs) were reported by 42%, 19%, and 54% of the TL respondents, respectively. At clinic visits, 78% were required to wear a mask over their nose/mouth, and 73% were required to wear a mask over their tracheostoma. Masks, gloves, and face shields worn by the SLP at these visits were reported by 84%, 82%, and 70% of the TL patients, respectively. Alaryngeal communication changes were recommended by the SLP for 7%–18% of TL patients, depending on their method of communication, whereas 43%–45% implemented changes on their own. Changes in tracheostoma care and HME use were recommended by the SLP for 27% and 21% of the TL respondents, respectively, whereas 54% and 47% made changes on their own. Conclusions Individuals with a TL will require in-person care even during a pandemic, as reflected in this study. Many had not been contacted by their SLP or otolaryngologist about TL guidelines that were becoming available. Notably, larger percentages of TL patients reported self-initiated changes to their communication, tracheostoma care, and HME use because of the pandemic than their SLP had advised. The types of communication changes varied in part, depending on the method of alaryngeal speech a respondent used. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.16807270

“…This finding underscores the value of the pan-species CoV assay in novel virus discovery. Hence, we strongly recommend public health and veterinary health officials include pan-species or next-generation sequencing assessments for novel virus detections in planning pre-pandemic virus surveillance among high-risk populations such as animal workers [ 22 , 23 ]. Early detection of known and unknown coronaviruses is the key to preventing transmission among animals and humans.…”

A pan-coronavirus RT-PCR assay for rapid viral screening of animal, human, and environmental specimens

We examined a collection of 386 animal, 451 human, and 109 archived bioaerosol samples with a new pan-species coronavirus molecular assay. Thirty-eight (4.02%) of 946 specimens yielded evidence of human or animal coronaviruses. Our findings demonstrate the utility of employing the pan-CoV RT-PCR assay in detecting varied coronavirus among human, animal, and environmental specimens. This RT-PCR assay might be employed as a screening diagnostic for early detection of coronaviruses incursions or prepandemic coronavirus emergence in animal or human populations.

“…In addition to initiating high disease and death, human respiratory viruses have had a considerable influence on international travel, trade, and the economy ( Domingo et al, 2014 ). According to a report published by World Bank in 2018, the SARS epidemic cost the affected countries $ 30–50 billion and $ 45–55 billion by the H1N1 pandemic ( Gray and Abdelgadir, 2021 ; Berthe et al, 2018 ). The cost of a MERS-CoV occurrence in Republic of Korea between June 2015 and June 2016 was estimated to be $2.6 billion ( Joo et al, 2019 ).…”

“…The consequences of new respiratory viral infections in human beings are not insignificant. The SARS-CoV first observed in China in 2002 and hurriedly spread to 29 countries before being halted by rigorous control measures ( Gray and Abdelgadir, 2021 ). A new human adenovirus–14 –strain (Ad14) first looked in the united states (US) in 2006 and rapidly spread to few other nations, causing 1000 illnesses and 13 fatalities.…”

While We Endure This Pandemic, What New Respiratory Virus Threats Are We Missing?

Abstract: In this paper we review recent human respiratory virus epidemics, their zoonotic nature, and our current inability to identify future prepandemic threats. We propose a cost-efficient, One Health surveillance strategy that will be more efficient and more sustainable than previous efforts.
