AI Article Synopsis
- - The aftermath of the 9/11 attacks significantly boosted emergency preparedness in hospitals and communities, leading to better training and policies for handling potential terrorist and bioterrorist threats.
- - The study reviews lessons learned from four major health crises—SARS, MERS, Ebola, and COVID-19—by analyzing a total of 57 selected articles from an initial pool of over 25,000.
- - Key findings reveal recurring challenges like supply shortages and staffing issues, with COVID-19 highlighting the need for hospitals to balance preparedness with other competing demands, an issue that persists even after the pandemic.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The years following the 9/11/2001 terrorists attacks saw a marked increase in community and hospital emergency preparedness, from communications across community networks, development of policies and procedures, to attainment and training in the use of biological warfare resources. Regular drills ensured emergency and health care personnel were trained and prepared to address the next large-scale crisis, especially from terrorist and bioterrorist attacks. This chapter looks at some of the more familiar global health issues over the past two decades and the lessons learned from hospital responses to inform hospital management in preparation for future incidents.
Search Methods: This study is a narrative review of the literature related to lessons learned from four major events in the time period from 2002 to 2023 - SARS, MERS, Ebola, and COVID-19.
Search Results: The initial search yielded 25,913 articles; 57 articles were selected for inclusion in the study.
Discussion And Conclusions: Comparison of key issues and lessons learned among the four major events described in this article - SARS, MERS, Ebola, and COVID-19 - highlight that several lessons are "relearned" with each event. Other key issues, such as supply shortages, staffing availability, and hospital capacity to simultaneously provide care to noninfectious patients came to the forefront during the COVID-19 pandemic. A primary, ongoing concern for hospitals is how to maintain their preparedness given competing priorities, resources, and staff time. This concern remains post-COVID-19.

CAR-T cell therapies for T cell malignancies: does cellular immunotherapy represent the best chance of cure?
Blood Adv

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has proven successful for B cell lymphomas and leukaemias. This success has inspired the development of CAR-T for T cell malignancies. T cell lymphomas and T-ALL are highly heterogenous diseases but are united by poor prognosis in the relapsed/refractory (r/r) setting and the lack of any novel, targeted therapies.

Community-clinical partnerships are an effective approach to connecting primary care with public health to increase disease prevention and screenings and reduce health inequities. We explore how the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) award recipients and clinic teams are using community-clinical linkages to deliver services to populations who are without access to health care and identify barriers, facilitators, and lessons that can be used to improve program implementation. We used purposive sampling to select nine state recipients of the NBCCEDP and a clinic partner for each recipient.

Small molecules and antibodies have dominated the pharmaceutical landscape for decades. However, limitations associated with therapeutic targets deemed "undruggable" and progress in biology and chemistry have led to the blossoming of drug modalities and therapeutic approaches. In 2023, a high number of 9 oligonucleotide and peptide products were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), accounting for 16% of all drugs approved.
