Am Abend des 1. April des Jahres 1885 gründeten in Wien 50 literatur- und kunstschaffende Frauen mit dem »Verein der Schriftstellerinnen und Künstlerinnen in Wien« ein Netzwerk, das ihnen neben materieller Absicherung bei Not, Krankheit und Alter auch ein Forum der Förderung und Anregung bieten konnte. In dem vorliegenden Buch wird der frühe, den emanzipatorischen und sozialen Bewegungen des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts zuzuzählende Verein in seinen kulturellen, ökonomischen und politischen Beziehungsgeflechten dargestellt. Anhand von Vereinsdokumenten, Tagebüchern und unveröffentlichten Briefe werden die Bemühungen der Vereinsfrauen um Einigkeit, ihre Erfolge wie auch Verhinderungen in den Fokus einer über ein halbes Jahrhundert währenden Geschichte gestellt. ; On the evening of April 1, 1885, a group of women who were active in artistic fields founded in Vienna the »Verein der Schriftstellerinnen und Künstlerinnen in Wien« (the »Association of Female Authors and Artists in Vienna« or VSKW). Their goal was to establish a social network for themselves that, aside from providing financial security in the event of need, illness or old age, could also offer a forum for promotion and support. Based upon reports pertaining to the Association and on documents about or authored by its members from their personal archives (e.g. diaries and unpublished letters), the book focuses on the efforts of the members to achieve unity despite their extremely diverse social and artistic backgrounds, on their searches for internal and external orientation, on their successes, but also on their hindrances and failures.

Background: Sepsis and severe focal infections represent a substantial disease burden in children admitted to hospital. We aimed to understand the burden of disease and outcomes in children with life-threatening bacterial infections in Europe. Methods: The European Union Childhood Life-threatening Infectious Disease Study (EUCLIDS) was a prospective, multicentre, cohort study done in six countries in Europe. Patients aged 1 month to 18 years with sepsis (or suspected sepsis) or severe focal infections, admitted to 98 participating hospitals in the UK, Austria, Germany, Lithuania, Spain, and the Netherlands were prospectively recruited between July 1, 2012, and Dec 31, 2015. To assess disease burden and outcomes, we collected demographic and clinical data using a secured web-based platform and obtained microbiological data using locally available clinical diagnostic procedures. Findings: 2844 patients were recruited and included in the analysis. 1512 (53·2%) of 2841 patients were male and median age was 39·1 months (IQR 12·4–93·9). 1229 (43·2%) patients had sepsis and 1615 (56·8%) had severe focal infections. Patients diagnosed with sepsis had a median age of 27·6 months (IQR 9·0–80·2), whereas those diagnosed with severe focal infections had a median age of 46·5 months (15·8–100·4; p<0·0001). Of 2844 patients in the entire cohort, the main clinical syndromes were pneumonia (511 [18·0%] patients), CNS infection (469 [16·5%]), and skin and soft tissue infection (247 [8·7%]). The causal microorganism was identified in 1359 (47·8%) children, with the most prevalent ones being Neisseria meningitidis (in 259 [9·1%] patients), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (in 222 [7·8%]), Streptococcus pneumoniae (in 219 [7·7%]), and group A streptococcus (in 162 [5·7%]). 1070 (37·6%) patients required admission to a paediatric intensive care unit. Of 2469 patients with outcome data, 57 (2·2%) deaths occurred: seven were in patients with severe focal infections and 50 in those with sepsis. Interpretation: Mortality in children admitted to hospital for sepsis or severe focal infections is low in Europe. The disease burden is mainly in children younger than 5 years and is largely due to vaccine-preventable meningococcal and pneumococcal infections. Despite the availability and application of clinical procedures for microbiological diagnosis, the causative organism remained unidentified in approximately 50% of patients.
