The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States has deemed extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing Enterobacterales and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa as serious threats and carbapenem-resistant (CR) Enterobacterales (CRE) and CR Acinetobacter as urgent threats. Due to the prevalent drug resistance of these strains and lack of antimicrobial alternatives, the treatment of infections caused by these MDR Gram-negative pathogens rely on tigecycline, polymyxins (colistin and polymyxin B) or new β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations (such as ceftazidime-avibactam, CAZ/AVI). However, the critically ill patients with antimicrobial infection are associated with high mortality. Hence, the prevalence and optimal therapy for critically ill patients with antimicrobial resistance are worth further study.
Music, Health and the Body: Cross-Cultural Perspectives focuses on the role of music in understanding new dimensions of health and healing through a unique relationship between identity, social interactions and the human body under the overarching paradigm of culture. The recent Covid-19 pandemic also has highlighted the significance of social and individual factors in people’s perception of and their ability to cope with the pandemic situation globally through music. Based on inter-disciplinary themes, and contributions from highly qualified international cohort of scholars, the volume will command attention amongst historians, ethnologists, musicologists, sociologists, anthropologists, psychotherapists and other scholars in arts and humanities.
Handwashing, as part of basic hygiene, is a no-brainer. Whenever there's an outbreak of a contagious disease, we are advised that the first line of defense is proper handwashing. Nonetheless, many people, including healthcare workers, ignore this advice and routinely fail to wash their hands. Those who neglect to follow proper handwashing protocols put us at risk for serious disease - and even death. In this well-researched book, Wahrman discusses the microbes that live among us, both benign and malevolent. She looks at how ancient cultures dealt with disease and hygiene and how scientific developments led to the germ theory, which laid the foundation for modern hygiene. She investigates han...
This book aims at the tiny machine learning (TinyML) software and hardware synergy for edge intelligence applications. This book presents on-device learning techniques covering model-level neural network design, algorithm-level training optimization and hardware-level instruction acceleration. Analyzing the limitations of conventional in-cloud computing would reveal that on-device learning is a promising research direction to meet the requirements of edge intelligence applications. As to the cutting-edge research of TinyML, implementing a high-efficiency learning framework and enabling system-level acceleration is one of the most fundamental issues. This book presents a comprehensive discuss...
The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”, and its constitution also asserts that health for all people is “dependent on the fullest co-operation of individuals and States”. The ongoing pandemic has highlighted the power of both healthy and unhealthy information, so while healthcare and public health services have depended upon timely and accurate data and continually updated knowledge, social media has shown how unhealthy misinformation can be spread and amplified, reinforcing existing prejudices, conspiracy theories and political biases. This book presents the proce...

The patient room is the smallest cell of the hospital organism. Its layout determines the structure of the ward and is therefore a decisive factor for the entire building. Many requirements have to be met. The patient's sense of well-being can be positively influenced by the design: homely materials, an attractive view and sufficient privacy are important objectives. Equally important are the working conditions for the staff, especially short distances and an efficient care routine. Finally, even the risk of infection can be reduced by a conscientiously planned room layout. This publication provides a systematic overview of the design task patient room and shows exemplary solutions: both typologically and in selected case studies.
