Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between personality, approach to learning and academic performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between students' approaches to learning, as measured by a short-form of Entwistle and Tait's (1995) Revised Approaches to Studying Inventory (RASI), the Big Five personality factors, measured by Cattell's 16PFi, and the background variables of age, gender and prior educational achievement and academic performance was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic therapy for inducible AmpC β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacilli: what are the alternatives to carbapenems, quinolones and aminoglycosides?
TL;DR: Clinical studies that better define optimal treatment for this group of bacteria are required, and Piperacillin/tazobactam may remain effective and may be less selective for AmpC derepressed mutants than cephalosporins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cure of multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii central nervous system infections with intraventricular or intrathecal colistin: case series and literature review
TL;DR: This largest case series to date shows that direct instillation of colistin into the CNS may cause chemical meningitis or ventriculitis but it is an effective treatment option for MRAB CNS infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brett G Mitchell,Brett G Mitchell,John Ferguson,Malcolm Anderson,Jacqueline Sear,Adrian G. Barnett +5 more
TL;DR: The study indicates that the incidence of HAUTI, in addition to its associated extra length of stay in hospital, presents a burden to the hospital system and surveillance and interventions to reduce the incidence are required.
