Mutant Prevention Concentrations of Doripenem and Meropenem Alone and in Combination with Colistin (Polymyxin E), Levofloxacin and Tobramycin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by George G Zhanel, Vibhu Vishisht, Ed Tam, Daryl J Hoban, James A Karlowsky

“…CONCLUSION: The present study found that individual antipseudomonal antimicrobial agents tested against 12 clinical isolates of P aeruginosa had eight- to greater than 32-fold higher MPCs than MICs, that combining doripenem or meropenem with a second active antipseudomonal agent with a different mechanism of action was more effective at preventing resistance selection than the two agents used individually, and finally, that doripenem was less likely than both imipenem and meropenem to select for spontaneous resistance mutants of P aeruginosa.…”

Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury for Critically Ill Cardiogenic Shock Patients with Machine Learning Algorithms by Zhang X, Xiong Y, Liu H, Liu Q, Chen S

“…When validated the prediction models with eICU database, the ensemble model exhibited the best predictive ability (AUC:0.92, 95% CI, 0.89– 0.96), while the logistic model obtained the worst predictive performance (AUC:0.61, 95% CI, 0.56– 0.67). Finally, we verified the prediction models using the data from our hospital and ensemble model still exhibited the best predictive ability (AUC:0.74, 95% CI, 0.62– 0.86), while the decision tree model obtained the worst predictive performance (AUC:0.52, 95% CI 0.35– 0.70).Conclusion: Machine learning algorithms could be utilized for the AKI prediction among critically ill CS patients, and exhibit superior predictive performance compared to the conventional logistic regression analysis.Keywords: cardiogenic shock, acute kidney injury, MIMIC database, prediction model, machine learning…”
