A descriptive record-based review of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) was carried out in Oman using the national database for the period 1996-2005. A total of 790 adverse event reports were received with an annual rate during the review period of 33.7 per 100 000 population or 10.8 per 100 000 doses administered. There were no reported deaths. The most frequently reported AEFI were ...

Transport of molecules in cells is a central part of cell biology. Frequently such trafficking is not just for material transport, but also for information propagation, and serves to couple signaling circuits across cellular compartments. Here, I show that trafficking transforms simple local signaling pathways into self-organizing systems that span compartments and confer distinct states and id...

Readers may be surprised by the recent editorial of Dr. Rosenberg, ‘Current evidence is not in support of lipid rescue therapy in local anaesthetic systemic toxicity’. Lipid rescue therapy (LRT) is widely accepted and recommended for treating local anaesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) but Dr. Rosenberg purports that the efficacy and safety data are insufficient to warrant its use for this indic...

Spherotin, a new reagent, was compared with coccididdin in subjects nonreactive to the standnrd dew of either refor eliciting delayed dermal hypersensitivity in 298 human agent. Severe local reactions were encountered in only subjects living in an area endemic for Coccidioides imooe subM these reactions were produced by the low mi& As standard (dilute) doses, spherulin detected 32 doses of both...

it 011 a larger scale and I should be much obliged if you would publish this with the request that medical officers who are in charge of plague cases and are willing to try it, would communicate with me when I shall be pleased to send them some. The vaccine was made in the District Laboratory by kind permission of the A. D. P. H. of the N. W. F. Province. I would ask them when writing, to let m...

We introduce a local adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method for convection-diffusion-reaction equations. The proposed is based on coarse grid and iteratively improves the solution's accuracy by solving elliptic problems in refined subdomains. For purely diffusion problems, we already proved that this scheme converges under minimal regularity assumptions [A. Abdulle G.Rosilho de Souza, ESAIM: M2...
