Improvements in child resistant containers.

The numbers of children under 5 years in South Glamorgan admitted to hospital because of accidental poisoning have been analysed for 1980-4. There has been no significant fall in those taking solid dose, prescribable medications since the voluntary agreement between the government and the pharmaceutical profession in 1981 on child resistant containers. Most children still take these poisons fro...

Child-resistant containers: are we kidding ourselves?

A 20-month-old child was accidentally poisoned after biting through the bottom of a medicine container and ingesting the tablets inside. Consequently a study was carried out to determine the force required to fracture 20 randomly selected 25 and 32 ml polystyrene containers to see whether this exceeded the bite force of a child's jaw. Tests were performed at displacement rates of 0.5 and 10 cm/...

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus Ventriculitis in a Child

One of the most frequently encountered problems associated with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts which are used in the treatment of hydrocephaly is infection. Staphylococcus is considered the most prominent factor in VP shunt infections; Enterococcus is less likely to cause ventriculitis in such patients. A shunt ventriculitis was demonstrated in a 1.5-year-old boy. The VP shunts was removed an...

Shifter: Containers for HPC

Container-based computed is rapidly changing the way software is developed, tested, and deployed. This paper builds on previously presented work on a prototype framework for running containers on HPC platforms. We will present a detailed overview of the design and implementation of Shifter, which in partnership with Cray has extended on the early prototype concepts and is now in production at N...
