Tato Pavlovsky y Elvira Onetto

En Octubre de 2014 se realizaron en la Facultad de Arte las primeras Jornadas de Dirección en Artes escénicas1. En este marco se presentó la obra Asuntos Pendientes de Tato Pavlovsky; con dirección de Elvira Onetto y las actuaciones de Susy Evans, Eduardo Misch, Paula Marrón y Eduardo Pavlovsky. A casi un año de la muerte de Tato recordamos su profundo compromiso con la cultura y el teatro, publicando estos fragmentos de la charla que él y Elvira Onetto mantuvieron con el público de las jornadas el día previo a la función. La misma fue moderada por Paula Fernández.1Estas Jornadas fueron organizadas por los docentes- investigadores: Paula Fernández, Jerónimo Ruiz, Gabriela González y Agustina Fittipaldi.  

Professional Group: Regional Activities: Latin America and the Caribbean Joint Meeting with:- Meeting Number: 173 Simultaneous Interpretation: Yes Evaluation of multimedia: why and how? An expedition in three voyages

The pages that follow intend to narrate the 3 years of experience of the Banco del Libro’s Committee of Evaluation of Digital Formats. It is the story of how this Venezuelan institution, after 40 years of experimentation with the printed word, has dared to make its move into the digital domain,. By means of the chronicle of three voyages, we describe in detail the criteria for multimedia evaluation that we have devised, some new reflections about reading and other findings from digital lands. Plut ô t que de condamner les jeux de vidéo, les humanistes, les pedagogues, les créateurs, les auteurs devraient s’emparenter de cette nouvelle écriture et produire avec elle des œuvres dignes de ce nom, inventer les nouvelles formes de savoir et d’éxploration que lui correspondent, lui donner ses lettres de noblesse. Pierre Levy 1 The Banco del Libro is a Venezuelan institution whose foundations are laid on an apparently simple premise: reading is pleasure. But it also represents forty years of voyage which have never ceased to be fruitful, despite the ups and downs of trial and error. It has confided in an open and innovative exploration, instead of adopting univocal and infallible truths, since they would go against the very 1 “Instead of condemning video games, the humanists, the pedagogues, the authors, the creators, should becom

Epidemiology and outcomes of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections in intensive care unit patients: the EUROBACT-2 international cohort study

Purpose In the critically ill, hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) are associated with significant mortality. Granular data are required for optimizing management, and developing guidelines and clinical trials. Methods We carried out a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥ 18 years of age) with HA-BSI treated in intensive care units (ICUs) between June 2019 and February 2021. Results 2600 patients from 333 ICUs in 52 countries were included. 78% HA-BSI were ICU-acquired. Median Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was 8 [IQR 5; 11] at HA-BSI diagnosis. Most frequent sources of infection included pneumonia (26.7%) and intravascular catheters (26.4%). Most frequent pathogens were Gram-negative bacteria (59.0%), predominantly Klebsiella spp. (27.9%), Acinetobacter spp. (20.3%), Escherichia coli (15.8%), and Pseudomonas spp. (14.3%). Carbapenem resistance was present in 37.8%, 84.6%, 7.4%, and 33.2%, respectively. Difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) was present in 23.5% and pan-drug resistance in 1.5%. Antimicrobial therapy was deemed adequate within 24 h for 51.5%. Antimicrobial resistance was associated with longer delays to adequate antimicrobial therapy. Source control was needed in 52.5% but not achieved in 18.2%. Mortality was 37.1%, and only 16.1% had been discharged alive from hospital by day-28. Conclusions HA-BSI was frequently caused by Gram-negative, carbapenem-resistant and DTR pathogens. Antimicrobial resistance led to delays in adequate antimicrobial therapy. Mortality was high, and at day-28 only a minority of the patients were discharged alive from the hospital. Prevention of antimicrobial resistance and focusing on adequate antimicrobial therapy and source control are important to optimize patient management and outcomes
