Optimal duration of antimicrobial prophylaxis in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy: A multicenter cohort study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Prolonged administration of antimicrobial prophylaxis might not be effective to prevent surgical site infections after distal pancreatectomy compared to intraoperative or up to 24‐h administration. Abstract Background Antimicrobial prophylaxis is routinely administered in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy, with cephalosporins being the most ...

Metagenomic analysis of a sample from a patient with respiratory tract infection reveals the presence of a γ-papillomavirus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Previously unknown or unexpected pathogens may be responsible for that proportion of respiratory diseases in which a causative agent cannot be identified. The application of broad-spectrum, sequence independent virus discovery techniques may be useful to

Optimising MFCC parameters for the automatic detection of respiratory diseases [PDF]

arXiv
Voice signals originating from the respiratory tract are utilized as valuable acoustic biomarkers for the diagnosis and assessment of respiratory diseases. Among the employed acoustic features, Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) is widely used for automatic analysis, with MFCC extraction commonly relying on default parameters.
