Article Synopsis
- The executive summary outlines evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing and treating nosocomial pneumonia, focusing on practical guidelines for healthcare providers in Germany.
- It was developed through a systematic review process by an interdisciplinary panel, with the help of an independent methodologist, and presents 26 total recommendations, including ones based on strong evidence and expert consensus.
- Key recommendations include distinguishing patients at risk for multidrug-resistant pathogens, limitations of routine bacterial PCR testing, and guidelines for antibiotic therapy, emphasizing focused treatments and the importance of rapidly de-escalating unnecessary antibiotics when patients stabilize.
Background: Previous research studies have demonstrated that medical content image retrieval can play an important role by assisting dermatologists in skin lesion diagnosis. However, current state-of-the-art approaches have not been adopted in routine consultation, partly due to the lack of interpretability limiting trust by clinical users.
Objective: This study developed a new image retrieval architecture for polarized or dermoscopic imaging guided by interpretable saliency maps.

During consultation dermatologists have to address hundreds of lesions in a limited amount of time. They will not only evaluate the single lesion of interest but more importantly the context of it. Visually comparing the similarity of the majority of lesions within the same patient provides a strong indication for lesions with significantly differing aspects.

This information is needed for proper risk assessment and stratification. Furthermore, scoring systems support optimal patient care, resource management and are gaining in importance in terms of artificial intelligence.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in critically ill patients are associated with increased mortality and poor outcome. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the predictive value of NRBCs in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Methods: This observational study was conducted at an ARDS referral center and included patients from 2007 to 2014.
