Is rectal administration an alternative route for imatinib?

An alternative route of drug administration in acute convulsions.

Case Description A 20 kg 5-year-old boy was rushed by his parents to our adult trauma unit. They reported a history of a persistent grand mal seizure that had begun a half-hour earlier. Attempts at intravenous cannulation by the staff were unsuccessful. An anesthesiologist who happened to be examining another patient suggested the use of intranasally administered droplets of midazolam. Within 2...

Field equations for gravity: An alternative route

We present an alternative derivation of the gravitational field equations starting from the Newton’s law, which intrinsically brings in observer dependence in the theory. Projecting the Riemann curvature tensor appropriately as fit for an observer, taking a cue from Poisson’s equation, the Einstein’s equations immediately follow. Our derivation naturally adapts to Lovelock gravity theories wher...

Skew-t distribution is an appropriate alternative for the weighted exponential distribution

In this manuscript first a brief introduction to the Skew-t and Weighted exponential distributions is considered and some of their important properties will be studied. Then we will show that the Skew-t distribution is prefered to the Weighted exponential distribution in fitting by using the real data. Finally we will prove our claim by using the simulation method.

An alternative route to nitric oxide resistance.

Vibrio fischeri is a bioluminescent bacterium that enters into a symbiosis with the bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes. The bacterium colonizes a specialized light organ, in which it generates light that might help the squid to hide its silhouette from animals beneath it. Previous studies have shown that the host nitric oxide (NO) synthase is active during colonization, suggesting that V. fischeri...
