Abstract

Infections commonly occur terminally ill oldest patients in palliative care and questioned about antimi-crobial use. The aim of this study was to describe practitioners' habits.Method. - ancillary study on antibiotic modalities according to the setting of care from a national practices survey based on self administered questionnaire sent by e-mail in 2017.Results. - 220 practitioners/327 used antibiotic, 136 worked in hospital department (52 geriatricians), 20 nursing home and 64 general practitioners (GP). GP declared less palliative care patients (6/year). The antibiotic goal was symptomatic relief for 181 (82.3%) without statistically significant difference between groups. GP (25%) were the group that most collected patient opinion for antibiotic prescription. Nursing home (23%) and GP (18%) reported more urinary tract symptoms than others (11.7%) (P = 0.003). Geriatricians (59.6%) declared significantly less urinary analysis than GP (90%) (P = 0.0009). 212 doctor (96.4%) faced side effect (SI): more allergic reaction and less administration difficulties than the other groups. The stop decision was collegially took (156, 70,9%) significantly more in hospital (121, 89%) than in community (25, 39.1%) (P < 0.001). Patient wishes were noted by 30 (46.96%) only GP.Conclusion. - Even if practice and number of patients follow up differ from each place of care, doctors' intention in antibiotic use respect palliative care goal to relieve discomfort. It is hard to diagnose infection and complementary exam are scarce. A repeated individualized evaluation with patient, his surrounding and his medical referent participation, is mandatory to give a constant adapted level of care in every place of care.(c) 2022 Societe Nationale Franc , aise de Medecine Interne (SNFMI).

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
