Abstract: Purpose Early identification of high-risk patients is an important component in improving infection prevention. The SAPS2, APACHE2, Core-10-TISS, and SOFA scores are already widely used to estimate mortality, morbidity and nursing workload, but this study evaluated their usefulness in assessing a patient's risk of ICU-acquired infection. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study by analyzing all patient admissions to seven ICUs at Charité Berlin, Germany in 2017 and 2018. The four scores were documented by physicians on the day of admission. The infection control staff monitored daily whether the patients experienced lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), urinary trac...
Bacterial resistance has become a worldwide concern since patients with infections related to microorganisms have a higher risk to develop the worst outcomes, including death; in addition to greater consumption of hospital resources than those patients who become infected with susceptible microorganisms. Estimates have been made that, if this problem continues increasing, in 2050, there will be ten million deaths worldwide, more than those currently caused by cancer. Gram-negative bacilli, such as Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii are associated with higher rates of both community and hospital-acquired infections and unfortunately have been showing an alarming increase in the rates of resistance. In the last decade, the use of antibiotics has resurfaced, which in the past were discarded due to their toxicity associated, as therapeutic tools for many of these infections; meanwhile, new therapeutic options have emerged on the market that could be viable for the treatment of these bacterial infections depending on the resistance mechanisms involved.
Post-editing is possibly the oldest form of human-machine cooperation for translation. It has been a common practice for just about as long as operational machine translation systems have existed. Recently, however, there has been a surge of interest in post-editing among the wider user community, partly due to the increasing quality of machine translation output, but also to the availability of free, reliable software for both machine translation and post-editing. As a result, the practices and processes of the translation industry are changing in fundamental ways. This volume is a compilation of work by researchers, developers and practitioners of post-editing, presented at two recent events on post-editing: The first Workshop on Post-editing Technology and Practice, held in conjunction with the 10th Conference of the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas, held in San Diego, in 2012; and the International Workshop on Expertise in Translation and Post-editing Research and Application, held at the Copenhagen Business School, in 2012.
