Scientific Advisory

After a very successful scientific meeting in Sydney, it is good to reflect that the world of microbes is anything but dull and boring! The quality and diversity of the speakers and the material presented is a credit to the National Scientific Advisory Committee and the Local Organising Committee. You may have noticed (in a way we hope you didn?t) but we went into the meeting without our in-house conference organiser, Janette Sofronidis. Sadly for us, Janette left the ASM in May after 10 years of outstanding service. The Society would like to thank her for the great contribution she made to our meetings over this period and wish her well in her future endeavours. Because the professional conference organiser (PCO) industry in Australia is now mature and highly competitive, the Executive has elected not to replace Janette, but rather to outsource the organisational aspects of our annual meeting to a PCO, and in the not too distant future, through a tendering process.

New Ideas

Having just returned from the Adelaide Australian Society for Microbiology (ASM) Annual Scientific Meeting I am full of enthusiasm for the future of the ASM. This was a very well attended meeting, with a program that served the diversity of our society well. The theme, ?Fermenting New Ideas?, was extremely apt. New ideas were expounded by the invited international speakers, the national speakers, proffered paper presenters and by the delegates themselves. The meeting certainly conveyed the sense of fermentation in the best possible way. I have nothing but accolades for the local organising committee (LOC) and the National Scientific Advisory Committee. The LOC was obviously a very committed, enthusiastic, hardworking and fun loving group. These attributes really showed in the meeting itself. There was a certain buzz that can only be the result of the extraordinary effort made by the LOC.

On October 27, 1972, a discussion on Education in Forensic Science took place at the Police College, Bramshill. Dr. Saunders, President of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and Chairman of the Forensic Science Sub-Committee of the Home Office Scientific Advisory Committee, was in the Chair. There was no general agreement — indeed hardly any proposition went unchallenged — and the Chairman undoubtedly judged the sense of the meeting when he decided not to take a vote on anything. This is an attempt to set down (without attribution) some of the points that were made.

Abstract Mali, like the rest of the world, has seen a rapid spread of COVID-19 since the first report of imported cases. Despite being a low-income country, Mali has leveraged scientific research resources via coordinated approaches to enable public health emergency planning and response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mali’s approach includes the harmonization of research activities; leveraging of research laboratory capacity of the University Clinical Research Center, Mali International Center for Excellence and three other in-country laboratories for community COVID-19 testing; strengthening relationships amongst local and international stakeholders; and collaboration with the Ministry of Health to integrate scientific evidence into public policy and emergency management of COVID-19 through a platform of consultation and open communication. The country has implemented national coordination of its COVID-19 response by establishing a COVID-19 Scientific Advisory Committee and a COVID-19 Technical Coordination Committee, both within the Ministry of Health and working collaboratively with other stakeholders. Members of Mali’s COVID-19 Scientific Advisory Committee also serve as leaders of its principal academic and government clinical and public health research entities. This centralised approach has enabled the prioritisation of COVID-19 control activities, informed allocation of resources, evidence-based public health practices and timely decision-making in the pandemic setting. Though challenges remain, lessons learned from Mali’s harnessing of clinical research capacity to guide and support its COVID-19 response can be applied to future global health research challenges and illustrate the power of building public health-responsive research capacity in resource-limited settings through international collaboration.

Voice Activity

TEMA: a auto-avaliação de um indivíduo sobre seu problema de voz e a análise do resultado de um tratamento são meios utilizados para verificar a efetividade de uma intervenção e desenvolver procedimentos diretivos para a prática clínica na área da saúde. Instrumentos psicométricos são as ferramentas mais comuns para essa tarefa. A validação de instrumentos de auto-avaliação pode ser realizada de diversas formas, com critérios claros e estruturados. OBJETIVO: apresentar o processo de validação para o Português Brasileiro de três protocolos de auto-avaliação para voz: Voice-Related Quality of Life - V-RQOL, Voice Handicap Index - VHI e Voice Activity and Participation Profile - VAPP, que receberam os seguintes nomes respectivamente: Qualidade de Vida em Voz - QVV, Índice de Desvantagem Vocal - IDV e Perfil de Participação e Atividades Vocais - PPAV, ressaltando as particularidades desses intrumentos e as adaptações necessárias para seu uso no Brasil. MÉTODOS: os três protocolos foram validados de acordo com os atributos sugeridos pelo Scientific Advisory Committee of Medical Outcomes Trust - SAC. RESULTADOS: os três protocolos tiveram as medidas psicométricas de validade, confiabilidade, reprodutibilidade e sensibilidade estatisticamente demonstradas, apresentando particularidades inerentes ao foco do instrumento. CONCLUSÃO: as versões brasileiras dos protocolos QVV, IDV e PPAV mostraram ser instrumentos específicos para avaliar pacientes que apresentam problemas de voz, com validade, confiabilidade e sensibilidade comprovadas. Tais instrumentos podem ser propostos para avaliação da qualidade de vida relacionada à voz, bem como para análise de resultado de tratamentos.
