While the AES algorithm is regarded as secure, many implementations of AES are prone to cache side-channel attacks. The lookup tables traditionally used in AES implementations for storing precomputed results provide speedup for encryption and decryption. How such lookup tables are used is known to affect the vulnerability to side channels, but the concrete effects in actual AES implementations ...

PURPOSE Anti-programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) antibodies have demonstrated antitumor activity in many cancer entities. Hepatic adverse events (AEs) are one of its major side effects, but the overall risks have not been systematically evaluated. Thus, we conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the overall incidence and risk of developing hepatic AEs in cancer patients treated with PD-...

BACKGROUND The MacArthur Admission Experience Survey (AES) is a widely used tool to evaluate the level of perceived coercion experienced at psychiatric hospital admission. The French-language AES was prepared using a translation/back-translation procedure. It consists of 16 items and 3 subscores (perceived coercion, negative pressures and voice). This study aimed to assess the psychometric prop...

OBJECTIVE This study determined the incidence, type, nature, preventability and impact of adverse events (AEs) among hospitalised patients and potentially preventable deaths in Dutch hospitals. METHODS Using a three-stage retrospective record review process, trained nurses and doctors reviewed 7926 admissions: 3983 admissions of deceased hospital patients and 3943 admissions of discharged pat...

BACKGROUND In randomized clinical trials, adverse events (AEs) are reported for the drug under evaluation and compared with the placebo group. Patients who receive placebo treatment report a high frequency of AEs, but little is understood about the nature of these. No study has yet analyzed the level of cognitive impairment as a crucial aspect for the AEs reported by patients. METHODS The rat...

Existing trace driven cache attacks (TDCAs) can only analyze the cache events in the first two rounds or the last round of AES, which limits the efficiency of the attacks. Recently, Zhao et al. proposed the multiple deductions-based algebraic side-channel attack (MDASCA) to cope with the errors in leakage measurements and to exploit new leakage models. Their preliminary results showed that MDAS...

AIM Analyzing safety aspects of a drug from individual studies can lead to difficult-to-interpret results. The aim of this paper is therefore to assess the general safety and tolerability, including incidences of the most common adverse events (AEs), of vildagliptin based on a large pooled database of Phase II and III clinical trials. METHODS Safety data were pooled from 38 studies of ≥ 12 to...

Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) is a major public health problem in Bihar claiming thousands of lives every year in Bihar. Initially, the disease outbreak was focused in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar but recent trend shows that disease outbreak has spread its foci in many other districts as well. AES cases were recorded from district reporting units comprising Govt Medical College & Hospitals...

INTRODUCTION The safety of inpatients is a priority in the health care system. The Global Trigger Tool seems to be suitable to estimate the incidence of adverse events (AE) in pediatric inpatients. OBJETIVES To describe the incidence and categories of AE in pediatric inpatients using the Global Trigger Tool and to identify risk factors associated to their development. POPULATION AND METHODS...

BACKGROUND Despite the worldwide growing attention to patient safety, Tunisia has no data on the magnitude and consequences of hospital adverse events (AEs). OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence, nature and consequences of AEs and preventable AEs in a university hospital in Tunisia. DESIGN AND SETTING We opted for a two-stage retrospective medical record review of 620 inpatients admitted dur...
