| G20 2017 Leaders’ Declaration: Shaping an interconnected world - Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance via a One Health Approach - Monday, July 10, 2017 |
G20 2017 Leaders’ Declaration: Shaping an interconnected world
--Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance via a One Health Approach--
From The Weekend Australian http://www.theaustralian.com.au/
SEE http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/g20-2017-leaders-declaration-shaping-an-interconnected-world/news-story/27e752cd6768607df06e0f1569333cac or https://goo.gl/ZT65rf.
“Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): AMR represents a growing threat to public health and economic growth. To tackle the spread of AMR in humans, animals and the environment, we aim to have implementation of our National Action Plans, based on a One-Health approach, well under way by the end of 2018. We will promote the prudent use of antibiotics (Noting differences in the G20 country definitions of the term “antibiotics” and referring here to those antibiotics with an impact on human health, including those antimicrobials that are critically important for human medicine as defined by the WHO.) in all sectors and strive to restrict their use in veterinary medicine to therapeutic uses alone. Responsible and prudent use of antibiotics in food producing animals does not include the use for growth promotion in the absence of risk analysis. We underline that treatments should be available through prescription or the veterinary equivalent only. We will strengthen public awareness, infection prevention and control and improve the understanding of the issue of antimicrobials in the environment. We will promote access to affordable and quality antimicrobials, vaccines and diagnostics, including through efforts to preserve existing therapeutic options. We highlight the importance of fostering R&D, in particular for priority pathogens as identified by the WHO and tuberculosis. We call for a new international R&D Collaboration Hub to maximise the impact of existing and new anti-microbial basic and clinical research initiatives as well as product development. We invite all interested countries and partners to join this new initiative. Concurrently, in collaboration with relevant experts including from the OECD and the WHO, we will further examine practical market incentive options.”

“ONE HEALTH in Action” - First Flexible Coil Balloon Expandable Intracoronary Stent Development for Humans
The One Health initiative website has been advised by Peter G. Anderson, DVM, PhD, Professor & Director of Pathology Undergraduate Education and Pre-Clerkship Curriculum Coordinator at the Department of Pathology, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Medicine, that the “One Health Initiative” web link has been added to the front page of PEIR (http://peir.net).
Moreover, it should be noted that Dr. Peter G. Anderson, a veterinarian, represents a prime and significant historic example of “ONE HEALTH in Action”. Dr. Anderson was part of the team that developed the first flexible coil balloon expandable intracoronary stent approved by the FDA for human use. This monumental development occurred in the early 1990’s and now – almost 100% of patients who undergo the balloon angioplasty procedure also get a stent. These stents can be coated with drugs to help the blood vessel heal after the balloon procedure to prevent scar tissue from forming leading to restenosis. Today the drug coated stents that Dr. Anderson helped develop and holds a patent for are being used extensively to decrease morbidity and mortality in patients worldwide.
Gary Roubin, BVSc (equiv. DVM), MB (equiv. MD), PhD, an internationally renowned interventional cardiologist (currently at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where he has been the Chairman of the Department of Interventional Cardiology and Director of the Cardiovascular Interventional Suites since 2004), worked to develop the first “balloon expandable intracoronary stent” used in the USA. Dr. Roubin came to the University of Alabama in 1989 where Dr. Anderson was the pathologist who participated in the animal studies using pigs. This animal data was sent to the FDA and eventually the stent was approved for human use. Dr. Anderson says, “While we [i.e., Drs. Roubin and Anderson] were waiting for approval for the FDA – we did get a “provisional” approval to use the stents in people if it was a life threatening situation. So, here at UAB we deployed many of the stents before they were formally approved by the FDA.” “And, I did the autopsies on the people who died after stent implantation”, said Dr. Anderson. “So, with Gary Roubin as corresponding author, we published the first paper describing the pathology of these balloon expandable flexible coil stents in people.”
Dr. Anderson went on to say, “Gary is the cardiologist who was the innovator in developing the stents [Gianturco-Roubin Flex Stent] and has continued to be an internationally recognized leader in interventional cardiology. An interesting side note – Gary Roubin was originally from Australia. He started out as a veterinarian – then he went back to school to be a physician, received a PhD degree in physiology, trained in cardiology and then he came to the U.S. So, Gary Roubin started out as a veterinarian and then went on to be an internationally renowned interventional cardiologist.”

| Prominent Infectious Diseases Physician—Dr. Larry I. Lutwick—Endorses One Health paradigm - Sunday, July 02, 2017 |
Prominent Infectious Diseases Physician—Dr. Larry I. Lutwick—Endorses One Health paradigm
“As an academically trained Infectious Diseases physician with 40 years of experience, the need for intense cooperation between animal and human medicine is becoming more and more vital. Not that zoonotic infections are new but they are becoming more and more relevant in emerging and reemerging diseases. From the threats of the avian influenzas such as H5N1 and H7N9 to cause pandemics in man to new species jumping infections such as SARS and MERS and "old ones" such as plague, tularemia and Q fever to new scenarios such as certain genotypes of hepatitis E which are zoonotic and can cause chronic human infection in immunocompromised hosts, cooperation is vital to minimize the impact of all of those and more infectious diseases.
Besides the necessities of basic science and clinical interactions between animal and human health, clinical scholars such as myself serve as a source of information about One Health to the medical and veterinary trainees to assist them in understanding the scope of these issues. There is no doubt that the presence of the One Health paradigm and its supporters play a vital role in early detection, early prevention, treatment and education about the new world of the "Brave New World" of zoonotic infections.”

| One Health Task Force (Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture – USA) - Monday, June 26, 2017 |
One Health Task Force (Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture – USA)
One Health is a transdisciplinary concept to improve the well-being of humans, animals, plants and the environment. It recognizes how the health of each individual element contributes to the health of the whole and shows how obvious impacts in one area – for example, outbreaks of wildlife diseases – are often linked to environmental stress, as well as diseases that concurrently affect the health and wellbeing of other species. For instance, read how the disappearance of ducks in northern Nigeria helped human health officials investigate unexplained illness among children in nearby villages.
It is no surprise, then, that One Health advocates believe our environmental, animal and human health organizations and professions must collaborate effectively and take actions to promote healthy humans and healthy animals supported by a healthy and sustainable environment. The Pennsylvania One Health Task Force supports this line of thinking by assembling a group of federal, state and academic stakeholders to work together, with one vision. ...

“Can we combat disease threats before they even emerge? In the fight against infectious diseases, understanding where outbreaks are most likely to happen and under which circumstances can help us develop tools to address risk to potentially prevent the next pandemic.
This theme was explored at BIO’s International Convention on Monday, June 19, during its “One Health Day” programming, which brought together different parts of the BIO family with sessions focused on issues linking human, animal and environmental health.
The One Health concept examines the connectivity between infectious diseases, the health of plants and animals, the health and safety of the environment and food security issues. All of these play a role in contributing to or controlling and preventing the threat of disease outbreaks. To be effective, prevention mechanisms need to address all of these areas and be put in place cooperatively by government, industry and academia on a global scale. ...”

InterAction Council Issues ‘THE DUBLIN CHARTER FOR ONE HEALTH’ Communiqué
The InterAction Council http://interactioncouncil.org/ was established in 1983 as an independent international organization to mobilize the experience, energy and international contacts of a group of statesmen who have held the highest office in their own countries. Council members jointly develop recommendations and practical solutions for the political, economic and social problems confronting humanity.
The Council is unique in bringing together on a regular basis, and in an informal setting, more than thirty former heads of state or government. Serving in their individual capacities, the Council aims at fostering international co-operation and action in three priority areas:
- Peace and Security
- World Economic revitalization
- Universal ethical standards
The Council selects specific issues and develops proposals for action from these areas and communicates these proposals directly to government leaders, other national decision-makers, heads of international organizations and influential individuals around the world.
Please see the Final Communiqué from the 34th Annual Plenary Meeting in Dublin, Ireland on May 30-31, 2017. View Communiqué (http://interactioncouncil.org/final-communiqu-53)
APPENDIX - THE DUBLIN CHARTER FOR ONE HEALTH
The Charter for One Health is a statement of the values of social justice and fairness for all. The Charter is focused on collective action to protect and promote health and wellbeing; prevent disease and disability; and foster resilience and adaption that respond to the fragility of the planet and the obligation to safeguard those aspects of the environment that are essential for human health in the Anthropocene epoch. It builds on the Universal Declaration for Human Responsibilities.
