MedicineDecember 2016Antimicrobial Stewardship
Principles and Practice
by Kerry LaPlante, Cheston Cunha, Haley Morrill, Louis Rice, Eletherios Mylonakis
In an age where antimicrobial resistance amongst pathogens grows more prevalent, particularly in the hospital setting, antimicrobial stewardship is an evidence-based, proven measure in the battle against resistance and infection. This single comprehensive, definitive reference work is written by an international team of acknowledged experts in the field. The authors explore the effective use of coordinated antimicrobial interventions to change prescribing practice and help slow the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, ensuring that antimicrobials remain an effective treatment for infection. Amongst the first of its kind, this book provides infectious disease physicians, administrators, laboratory, pharmacy, nursing and medical staff with practical guidance in setting up antimicrobial stewardship programs in their institutions with the aim of selecting the optimal antimicrobial drug regimen, dose, duration of therapy, and route of administration. ; Antimicrobial research has hit a wall: treatment discoveries are rarer and resistant pathogen strains more prevalent. Rather than infection control itself, antimicrobial stewardship is an essential measure in ensuring management of hospital-acquired infections. Throughout this book, international experts discuss all angles of stewardship. ; Part I: Overview of Antibiotic StewardshipCh.1: Principles of Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 2: Clinical Perspective of Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 3: History of Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 4: The Importance of Education in Antimicrobial StewardshipPart II: Antibiotic Resistance Principles in Antibiotic Stewardship Ch 5: Intrinsic and Acquired Mechanisms of ResistanceCh 6: Antimicrobial Resistance: Selection vs. InductionCh 7: Colonization and its importance for emergence of clinical resistanceCh 8: Antibiotic Resistance: associations and implications for antibiotic usage strategies to control multi-resistant bacteriaPart III: Microbiology Laboratory Role in Antibiotic StewardshipCh 9: The role of active surveillance in the prevention of healthcare-acquired infections and antibiotic stewardshipCh 10: Role of Antibiogram in Antibiotic StewardshipCh 11: Selective Reporting and Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 12: Role of New Diagnostics to Enhance Antibiotic Stewardship EffortsPart IV: Infection Control Aspects of Antibiotic StewardshipCh 13: Epidemiology of S aureus and enterococci in children and an overview of antimicrobial resistanceCh 14: Epidemiology of multi-drug resistant gram-negative organismsCh 15: Pathogenesis and Epidemiology of Clostridium difficile Infection: Implications for Antibiotic StewardshipCh 16: Role of the Hospital Epidemiologist in Supporting Antimicrobial StewardshipPart V: Pharmacokinetic (PK) & Pharmacodynamic (PD) Aspects of Antibiotic Dosing in Antibiotic StewardshipCh 17: Principles of Pharmacokinetic / Pharmacodynamic Optimization for Antibiotic DosingCh 18: Optimal use of Gram-negative antibiotics in the real world: providing effective therapy while minimizing resistanceCh19: Optimal Use of FluoroquinolonesCh 20: Optimal Use of Beta-lactam AntibioticsCh 21: Current Approach to Optimal Use and Dosing of Vancomycin in Adult PatientsCh 22: Principles of IV to PO SwitchPart VI: Pharmacy Department Role in Antibiotic StewardshipCh 23: Role of Pharmacists in Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 24: Formulary Management and Economic Considerations; Bridging the Gap between Quality Care and CostCh 25: Approaches in benchmarkingCh 26: Development and execution of stewardship interventionsCh 27: Technologic support for antimicrobial stewardshipPart VII: Measuring Outcomes in Antibiotic Stewardship ProgramsCh 28: Role of Guidelines and Statistical Milestones for Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 29: Economic considerations of Antimicrobial Stewardship ProgramsCh 30: Pharmacoeconomic Implications of Antimicrobial Adverse EventsCh 31: Antimicrobial stewardship programs in areas of increased pathogen resistancePart VIII: Antimicrobial Stewardship and Various Practice SitesCh 32: Role of Antimicrobial Stewardship in PediatricsCh 33: Antimicrobial Stewardship in the Intensive Care UnitCh 34: Role of Antimicrobial Stewardship in a Community HospitalCh 35: Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT)Ch 36: The Importance of Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Antimicrobial Stewardship: Immersion of Future Healthcare ProfessionalsCh 37: Antimicrobial Stewardship and the Importance of Working with the Government and Pharmaceutical IndustryCh 38: Hospitalist Perspective on the Role of Antimicrobial Stewardship

October 2007Etwas fehlt immer
Erzählungen
by Guy Helminger
Guy Helmingers Erzählungen sind für vieles gelobt worden: den nachtschwarzen, grandios trockenen Humor, die Raffinesse, die so brutale wie komische Abgründigkeit und nicht zuletzt die Tatsache, daß hier endlich einmal jemand eine stichhaltige Erklärung dafür gibt, warum manche Männer vom Zigarettenholen nicht mehr zurückkommen.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2025Statelessness after Arendt
European refugees in China and the Pacific during the Second World War
by Kolleen Guy, Jay Winter
This book is a study of statelessness in the period of the Second World War. It breaks new ground by focusing not on Europe, but on the Asian and Pacific theatres of the conflict. This perspective enables us to go beyond Hannah Arendt's classic account of statelessness in her Origins of Totalitarianism. To her, statelessness was the product of a failed European nation-state system. We find a very different story when we examine the history of stateless people, many of them Jews, fleeing to Asia from Europe. In Asia, we see that being stateless was not a uniform experience, but a variety of possibilities reflecting the political structure of the states and cities in which refugees found shelter. We find too that stateless people managed to enter the political realm long before they reached the threshold of citizenship.

September 2024Arthropod Management and Landscape Considerations in Large-Scale Agroecosystems
by Michael J Brewer, Gary L. Hein, Kristen Baum, Mahendra Bhandari, Haley Butler, Hannalene du Plessis, Norman C. Elliott, Peter C Ellsworth, Sarah Elzay, Isaac L. Esquivel, Ashleigh M. Faris, Aaron J. Gassmann, Kristopher L Giles, Maura Hall, Louis S. Hesler, Anders S. Huseth, William D. Hutchison, Ian MacRae, Robert L. Meagher, Jr, Lance J. Meinke, Steven E. Naranjo, Matthew O'Neal, Shannon L. Osborne, Pankaj Pal, Katherine A. Parys, Dominic Reisig, Tom A Royer, Nina Rudin, Thomas W. Sappington, Gregory A. Sword, Ashley E. Tessnow, Paul A. Umina, Johnnie van den Berg
For large-scale agroecosystems, patterns of pest population increases (graded increases or abrupt outbreaks) and declines (graded suppression or abrupt crashes) vary considerably and are influenced by factors within crop fields and across broader landscape scales. Better understanding of pest population dynamics and the implications of spatial interactions on the function and development of pest management approaches are the main themes of this important book. The book builds from a 60+ year history of field-based pest management by focusing on the drivers of pest management in large-scale agroecosystems and the landscape-scale processes that affect these drivers and contribute to variation in pest outbreaks and suppression. These drivers include abiotic and biotic influences such as weather, spatial composition and arrangement of landscape elements, and widely applied managed inputs such as planting and crop rotation schedules, crop varietal selection, and land and soil conservation efforts. The book introduces general concepts, opportunities, and challenges of arthropod management in large-scale agroecosystems. Case studies from major field crop-based agroecosystems are used to present research approaches and improve understanding and management of pest and beneficial insects in large-scale agroecosystems. Specific research findings are provided on multi-trophic interactions within the system as influenced by climate, landscape, and other ecological, agricultural, and social/economic components of the agroecosystem. The book concludes with a synthesis of these concepts and prospectus for future research and developments in arthropod management in large-scale, plant-based agroecosystems. The book is essential reading for researchers in applied entomology and ecology and for pest management practitioners.

Pasts at play
Childhood encounters with history in British culture, 1750–1914
by Rachel Bryant Davies, Barbara Gribling
This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It charts the significance of historical episodes and characters during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British historical imagination.
