Disentangling Monocular 3D Object Detection: From Single to Multi-Class Recognition.

In this paper we introduce a method for multi-class, monocular 3D object detection from a single RGB image, which exploits a novel disentangling transformation and a novel, self-supervised confidence estimation method for predicted 3D bounding boxes. The proposed disentangling transformation isolates the contribution made by different groups of parameters to a given loss, without changing its nature. This brings two advantages: i) it simplifies the training dynamics in the presence of losses with complex interactions of parameters; and ii) it allows us to avoid the issue of balancing independent regression terms.

[Epidemiology, treatment and mortality in infection by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: retrospective study].

Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) has become a significant problem in terms of public health and clinical outcome.

Objective: To assess the epidemiology, treatment and mortality in patients with infection due to CPE.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 163 patients with CPE infection was carried out in a university hospital from July 2013 to October 2015.

Immunization with LytB protein of Streptococcus pneumoniae activates complement-mediated phagocytosis and induces protection against pneumonia and sepsis.

The cell wall glucosaminidase LytB of Streptococcus pneumoniae is a surface exposed protein involved in daughter cell separation, biofilm formation and contributes to different aspects of the pathogenesis process. In this study we have characterized the antibody responses after immunization of mice with LytB in the presence of alhydrogel as an adjuvant. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays measuring different subclasses of immunoglobulin G, demonstrated that the antibody responses to LytB were predominantly IgG1 and IgG2b, followed by IgG3 and IgG2a subclasses.

Perceived quality in a dementia unit: patients' caregivers as information providers.

Introduction: Dementia units (DU) provide comprehensive and specialised care to patients with dementia. However, assessment in these units normally focuses on patient management. The aim of this study was to determine satisfaction of the caregivers of patients managed in a DU and how they rated DU care.
