This document provides guidelines from the American Thoracic Society and Infectious Diseases Society of America for the management of hospital-acquired, ventilator-associated, and healthcare-associated pneumonia in adults. It emphasizes the importance of early, appropriate antibiotic therapy targeted against likely pathogens based on culture results and risk factors. Key recommendations include obtaining lower respiratory tract cultures before treatment, using clinical assessment and culture data to modify empiric antibiotic regimens, and using short course therapy when possible. The guidelines aim to optimize treatment while avoiding overuse of antibiotics.
The document provides guidelines from the American Thoracic Society and Infectious Diseases Society of America for the management of hospital-acquired, ventilator-associated, and healthcare-associated pneumonia in adults. It discusses the epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of these types of pneumonia. The guidelines emphasize early, appropriate antibiotic therapy based on culture results and clinical response, while avoiding excessive antibiotic use through de-escalation and shortening treatment duration.
This document discusses QR codes, which are scannable codes that can link to various digital content when scanned by a smartphone. The summary is:
QR codes can be scanned by smartphone cameras and provide quick access to websites, contact information, maps, videos, and other online content. The type of QR code used should match the desired user interaction - website QR codes for information, contact QR codes to share contact details, and calendar QR codes to add events. QR codes can be customized and embedded in many situations to creatively engage users.
The document discusses the lifestyles and customs of Native Americans, including where they lived (the Great Plains), their housing (tipis constructed from animal skins), clothing (tunics and moccasins from animal hides with headdresses and costumes), hunting tools (bows, arrows, axes, spears), and food sources (bison). It also briefly mentions their forms of transportation (canoes, horses, sleds) and dancing to attract the spirit of rain.
The document discusses the theoretical framework for distance education proposed by Desmond Keegan, which asks whether distance education is an educational or business activity, if it is conventional, and if the terminology is possible. Keegan's framework considers the relationship between time and location in distance education and identifies 5 changes it brings to the normal structure of education, including the industrialization of teaching, privatization of instructional learning, and different cost structures. It also notes that technology has changed general education theory and made what was once impossible now possible.
The document provides instructions for students to complete an assignment to create a Mad Lib by visiting a website, choosing a Mad Lib template, filling in parts of speech using their own words, viewing and taking a screenshot of the completed Mad Lib, and saving the screenshot as a file. Students are asked to choose class-appropriate words when completing the Mad Lib.
This document provides an overview of the key features and functions for moderators using Elluminate Live!, including how to set up audio and video, manage participants, use tools like polling, whiteboards, and chat, and record sessions.
This document summarizes key points about designing distance education courses. It discusses the importance of planning, considering learner information, instructional strategies, and assessment. Specific guidelines are provided, including thoroughly understanding learner characteristics, designing modular content, using different instructional techniques, integrating various media forms, and ensuring technology is practical. Overall, the document stresses the need for systematic planning across all aspects of the distance education system to effectively deliver instruction.
This document provides guidelines for designing effective PowerPoint presentations. It discusses making text and visuals big, simple, clear, progressive, and consistent. Key recommendations include using large font sizes, simple color schemes with high contrast, bullet points instead of full sentences, and building up concepts gradually over multiple slides in a focused manner. The goal is to communicate effectively through the presentation without distracting from the core message.
This document provides an overview of the Power Tablature software which allows users to transcribe musical notation and tablature, produce MIDI output, and learn from others' work. It discusses setting up guitars and activating instruments for MIDI playback. Basic music notation elements like notes, rests, and time signatures are explained, along with features for setting and altering tempo. The goal is to help users get started transcribing and learning music using this digital tool.
La inteligencia artificial se está volviendo más avanzada y puede representar un riesgo para la humanidad si no se desarrolla y gestiona de manera responsable. Los investigadores deben asegurarse de que los sistemas de IA sean robustos, seguros y alineados con los valores humanos para garantizar que se desarrollen y utilicen de manera benéfica.
La Unión Europea ha acordado un paquete de sanciones contra Rusia por su invasión de Ucrania. Las sanciones incluyen restricciones a las importaciones de bienes rusos, la prohibición de transacciones con ciertos bancos rusos y la congelación de activos de oligarcas rusos.
