The article describes action of the Infectious Diseases Service of the Armed Forces in national biosecurity control through leveraging experience of military involvement, emergencies, infectious epidemic outbreaks, including rescue measures rendered during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.We utilise experience of military infectiologists to exemplify medical care management under admission influx of contagious patients. Principles are clarified of early clinical diagnostics of potentially pandemic infectious diseases and early active detection, isolation, sorting and evacuation of contagious patients in martial and close field conditions. Besides, specifics of providing specialised medical care to contagious patients, including preventive intensive care, is detailed.In 2020, healthcare and legal authorities worldwide recognised the critical capability to act under conditions close to real combat and so satisfy a minimum qualification standard of a military doctor, including infectiologist’s skills, at both systemic and individual levels of infection control, regardless of primary medical specialty. From this perspective, expertise of the Chair of Infectious Diseases (with training in medical parasitology and tropical diseases) of the Military Medical Academy can be an asset both in practice and teaching in medical universities country-wide.

ObjectiveThe increasing threat of the use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents requires significant military medical preparedness and response, including training. The initiatives for CBRN training by Gulhane Military Medical Academy, which is under the Health Command of the Turkish Armed Forces, will be discussed, and the training program and educational model for medical CBRN defense will be highlighted.MethodThe training is given to military hospital staff once or twice a year. Hospital staff is trained over a period of five days, with practical issues regarding medical CBRN defense covered during the last two days. A questionnaire is given to trainees at the beginning and at the end to ascertain the adequacy of the course.ResultsSo far, this medical CBRN training has been given to 150 military health staff including physicians, nurses, and medical non-commissioned officers. According to the survey, they benefited greatly from this training, and there was a statistically significant increase in CBRN knowledge when the initial and final scores of the survey were compared (x2 = 3.089; p = 0.002).ConclusionThrough this planned trainings, staff are trying to become well-trained in detection, personal protection, decontamination, and the organization aspects of CBRN defense to apply the proper prophylactic measures, diagnosis, and treatment. Feedback suggests this program also helped “train the trainers”, providing extensive information to other staff working in military hospitals.

Background. Vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap is commonly used in the reconstruction of composite bony and soft tissue defects of the lower third of the face due to the outstanding quality of its cutaneous component. The aim was to evaluate the primary and overall success in the reconstruction of mandibular defects, following war injuries, with vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap. Methods. At the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Military Medical Academy Belgrade, there were eight patients with this kind of defect following war injury, and the mandible was reconstructed with a vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap. Bony compartment of the graft was harvested as up to 11 cm long segment of radial circumference. Results. The localization and structure of the defect, features of a harvested compound graft, the procedure of the reestablishment of the mandibular continuity was presented as well as immediate and late complications during the consolidation period, and the primary successful reconstruction in 87.5% of the patients. Conclusion. The primary and overall success in the mandibular defects reconstruction with a vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap was equal or even better than those presented in the literature on the reconstruction of the similar defects after tumor resections.

In February 2020, the Bulgarian government established the National Operational Headquarters for Combating the COVID-19 Pandemic in Bulgaria. General Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, a military doctor, professor at the Military Medical Academy in Sofia, was appointed as its chairman. This paper presents a case study on the public image of Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, its readings and interpretations by the audience, and the specific fan culture that emerged around his media persona during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria. Placed in the spotlight of the media at the very beginning of the crisis, Mutafchiyski became extremely popular as the public figure most strongly associated with the fight against the spread of the disease in the country. Around his media persona, shaped in the public imagination as a wartime leader, a fan culture has grown with all its characteristic features and dimensions: fans and anti-fans, affirmative and transformative fandom. As a fictional character, Mutafchiyski has appeared in numerous forms of vernacular creativity: poems, songs, material objects, jokes, fake news, conspiracy theories, and memes. In this way, the General has become the main character of Bulgarian pandemic folklore and the focal point of a participatory pandemic.

Background/Aim. In Serbia brucellosis is a primary disease of the animals in the southern parts of the country. The aim of this study was to describe the first outbreak of human and animal brucellosis in the region of Sabac, Serbia. Methods. An epidemiological investigation was conducted to identify a source of outbreak and the ways of transmission of brucellosis infection in human population. A descriptive and analytical epidemiological methods (cohort study) were used. Additional data included monthly reports of the infectious diseases from the Institutes of Public Health and data from the Veterinary Specialistic Institute in Sabac. The serological tests for human brucellosis cases were performed in the Laboratory of the Military Medical Academy; laboratory confirmation of animal brucellosis cases was obtained from the reference laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Belgrade. Results. Twelve cases of brucellosis were recorded from February 9 to September 1, 2004. Total attack rate was 8.1% (7.5% of males, 14.2% of females). Relative risk (RR) of milk consumption was 8.9 (95% confidence interval: 1.63-13.38), and RR for direct contact with animals was 14 (95% confidence interval: 3.5-55.6). The prevalence of seropositive animals in 33 villages of the Macva region accounted for 0.8%. Regarding animal species, sheep were predominant - 264 (95.7%). Out of a total number of seropositive animals, ELISA results were positive in 228 (88.7%) of them. Conclusion. As contact epidemics generally last longer, it is probable that the implemented measures of outbreak control did reduce the length of their duration.
