  Acute accent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Catalan, the acute accent is used to mark both the stress and the distinct quality of certain stressed vowels, such as è [ɛ] versus é [e], or such as ò [ɔ] versus ó [o].
In Danish, the usage of the acute accent is very similar to the Dutch usage, for example én (one) vs. en (a/an) and fór (went) and for (for).
In Icelandic the acute accent is used on 6 of the vowels (a, e, i, o, u and y), and, as in Faroese, these are considered separate letters.

 The debate over acetaminophen and acute liver failure
Acetaminophen overdose causes more than 450 deaths due to acute liver failure each year in the United States and this number appears to be on the rise.
In 2001, the U.S. Acute Liver Failure (ALF) Study found acetaminophen responsible for 39 percent of cases.
William M. Lee, M.D., of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas and a principal investigator of the NIH-funded U.S. Acute Liver Failure Group, suggests that the FDA should consider a more aggressive and broader approach toward regulating the pain reliever to lessen the incidence of such poisonings.

"Acute care information systems will be vital to improving workflows to achieve operational efficiencies that in turn enhance patient care and safety to protect the potential loss of revenue of patients turning to competitor hospitals."
Acute care information system providers need to achieve physician and nurse adoption of their solutions to obtain long-term success in the marketplace.
The leading acute care information system providers will be those companies that hone their marketing messages to the appropriate buyer, influence profiles they face, and deliver solutions that are believed to enhance patient care, safety, and improve work environments beyond what the vendors promised.

 Greek Diacritics
The titlecase combination of acutes and graves with breathing marks, moving to the right rather than above the other diacritic, is behaviour specific to Greek; but this does not alter the fact that the one codepoint covers the diacritic as used in Greek, French, Polish, or Russian.
The Unicode standard notes (§7.2) that the acute as used in Greek typography is steeper than it is for Western European languages; the same holds for the acute as used in Polish or Czech (§7.7).
Though they look like the dialytika - acute and grave combinations, they have nothing to do with diaeresis: they are ancient literary editorial diacritics, appearing for instance in the papyri of Sappho, and they indicate an editorial insertion or deletion of an acute or grave.

 Current growing nursing shortage to be studied at 160 U.S. acute care hospitals
CHAPEL HILL -- Medication errors, falls hospitalized patients suffer, job turnover in nursing staff and patient satisfaction across the United States are among subjects University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faculty will investigate through a new $2.5 million grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research.
Researchers will concentrate on 160 acute care hospitals and collect a wealth of information on patients’ experiences, including satisfaction with pain management and how nurses help relieve distressing symptoms, she said.
Since the Institute of Medicine issued reports indicating that tens of thousands of important mistakes are made in U.S. hospitals every year, the UNC faculty members also want to learn how nursing staff levels affect such errors, Mark said.
