Alias Types

Linear type systems allow destructive operations such as object deallocation and imperative updates of functional data structures. These operations and others, such as the ability to reuse memory at different types, are essential in low-level typed languages. However, traditional linear type systems are too restrictive for use in low-level code where it is necessary to exploit pointer aliasing....

Elaborating on the alias calculus

In this research-in-progress report, we elaborate on the alias calculus introduced in [1], [2]. The alias calculus is to determine whether two reference expressions at the given program point may address the same object at the run-time (in other words, whether one expression may be an alias of the other expression). The main intended application of the alias calculus is to support deductive ver...

Albumin Administration in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Safety Analysis of the ALIAS Part 2 Multicenter Trial

BACKGROUND Albumin treatment of ischemic stroke was associated with cardiopulmonary adverse events in previous studies and a low incidence of intracranial hemorrhage. We sought to describe the neurological and cardiopulmonary adverse events in the ALIAS Part 2 Multicenter Trial. METHODS Ischemic stroke patients, aged 18-83 and a baseline NIHSS ≥ 6, were randomized to treatment with ALB or sal...

The potential of honey to promote wound healing in periodontology: a pilot randomized clinical trial

 Abstract Background & Objectives: Honey has been used as a nutraceutical in many traditional and ancient remedies. Considering well documented benefits of honey to accelerate wound healing, for the first time we aimed to assess intra oral surgical wound healing process with honey. Methods: We designed a pilot randomized placebo controlled cross-over clinical trial. Patients who required bilate...
