Regulation and Risk Assessment of Nanomaterials – Too Little, Too Late?

Acknowledgements There are a number of people that I would like to thank for their help and guidance in the past three years. First of all, I would like to thank my co-authors along with Abstract Nanotechnology is the latest in a long series of technologies heralded as ushering in a new era and current and future applications of nanotechnology are expected to hold immense societal and environme...

Comparison of three different osteoporosis risk assessment tools: ORAI (osteoporosis risk assessment instrument), SCORE (simple calculated osteoporosis risk estimation) and OST (osteoporosis self-assessment tool)

  Background :SCORE, OST and ORAI risk assessment tools could reduce the cost burden of BMD tests by selecting the high risk patients to osteoporosis. In this study we compared the ability of these risk assessment measures to assess probability of the osteoporosis among post-menopausal women.   Methods : 211 post-menopausal women aged 45-88 years enrolled into the study. All of the patients und...

Concurrent Timestamping Made Simple

Concurrent Time-stamp Systems (ctss) allow processes to temporally order concurrent events in an asynchronous shared memory system, a powerful tool for concurrency control, serving as the basis for solutions to coordination problems such as mutual exclusion, `-exclusion, randomized consensus, and multi-writer multi-reader atomic registers. Solutions to these problems all use an \unbounded numbe...

Dabigatran monitoring made simple?

Haemost 2013; 110: 308-315. Dabigatran, an oral thrombin inhibitor, is licensed as an alternative to warfarin for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. As the first of the new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) to gain approval for this indication, its use is increasing now that its safety has been confirmed using real-world data (1, 2), and clinical guidelines have given preference ...
