Is this reaction caused by this drug?

The case report on cotrimoxazole-induced pancreatitis by Versleijen et al. deals with the assessment of the probability that cotrimoxazole induced the acute pancreatitis: a causality assessment. In this editorial, we comment on this assessment from a clinical, pharmacological and epidemiological perspective. Moreover, the consequences of the results of the assessment are discussed.

1. The network topology is characterized in the language of graph theory (e.g. tree, 0-chain, 1-chain) [1] [2]. By this means, the set of steady-state fluxes can be parameterized explicitly. 2. A particular steady-state solution is selected. This steady-state solution is used to generate a nominal, stationary routing algorithm for the stochastic flow problem. 3. However, to ensure the network o...

Railway Open System Tribology Railway Open System Tribology

Tribology in the railway system is of increasing interest in the new railway era due to the demand for higher speed and load capacity. Since railway vehicles operate in an open environment, their performance depends greatly on temperature, humidity and natural and artificial contaminants. Meanwhile, the “feedback” of railway vehicles to the surroundings, such as noise and airborne particles, is...

Liquid Crystals in Tribology

Two decades ago, the literature dealing with the possible applications of low molar mass liquid crystals, also called monomer liquid crystals (MLCs), only included about 50 references. Today, thousands of papers, conference reports, books or book chapters and patents refer to the study and applications of MLCs as lubricants and lubricant additives and efforts are made to develop new commercial ...
