Longer and safer gastric residence

Supramolecular materials: Longer and safer gastric residence.

Carbon nanotubes provide longer lasting gastroprotective effects for anandamide in stress-induced gastric ulcer in rat

Introduction: Anandamide (AEA) has shown a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities including the effects against the peptic ulcer, meanwhile, the poor solubility or short half-life may negatively affect the effectiveness of this valuable cannabinoid. Based on the superior properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for controlled drug delivery, we aimed to prepare AEA-CNTs complex and evaluat...

New Impossible Differential Attack on SAFER + and SAFER + +

SAFER+ was a candidate block cipher for AES with 128-bit block size and a variable key sizes of 128, 192 or 256 bits. Bluetooth uses customized versions of SAFER+ for security. The numbers of rounds for SAFER+ with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 are 8, 12 and 16, respectively. SAFER++, a variant of SAFER+, was among the cryptographic primitives selected for the second phase of the NESSIE project...

Safer and Healthier Workplaces

It was a pleasure to serve as guest editor of this special issue of WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment and Rehabilitation that focuses on “Safer and Healthier Workplaces”. This issue is dedicated to workers all over the world who have suffered an accident at work or have acquired an occupational or work-related disease. Workers should be protected from occupational risks they could be ex...
