shareholders of joint stock companies have several rights. the most typical categorization of shareholders' right is financial and non-financial right. every one's intention of investing in commercial companies is to make profit; hence, the most important right of shareholders is to enjoy the dividend of the company. this right is a financial one. furthermore, after dissolution of the...

The software industry and academia believe that software review, specifically Formal Technical Review (FTR), is a powerful method for improving the quality of software. FTR traditionally is a manual process. Recently, computer mediated support for review has had a large impact on review. Computer support for FTR reduces the overhead of conducting reviews for reviewers and managers. This reducti...

Current knowledge of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) as a progressive entity, worsening the prognosis of patients irrespective of its aetiology, has led to renewed interest in the pathophysiology and assessment of FTR. For the proper management of FTR, not only its severity, but also the mechanisms, the mode of leaflet coaptation, the degree of tricuspid annulus enlargement and leaflet...

Strategies to develop a functional cure for HIV infection will likely require boosting of effector T cell responses to eliminate reactivated, latently infected cells. We have recently explored an assay for assessing antigen-specific regulation of T cell proliferation, which was related to clinical progression in untreated patients and to vaccine efficacy in two trials of therapeutic Gag-based v...

BACKGROUND Despite the increased acceptance of failure-to-rescue (FTR) as an important patient safety indicator (defined as the percentage of deaths among surgical patients with treatable complications), there has not been any large epidemiological study reporting FTR in an Australian setting nor any evaluation on its suitability as a performance indicator. METHODS We conducted a population-b...

Placental transfer of the HIV protease inhibitor darunavir was investigated in 5 term human cotyledons perfused with darunavir (1,000 ng/ml) in the maternal to fetal direction. The mean (± the standard deviation [SD]) fetal transfer rate (FTR) (fetal/maternal concentration at steady state from 30 to 90 min) was 15.0%±2.1%, and the mean (±SD) clearance index (darunavir FTR/antipyrine FTR) was 40...

Despite the wide acceptance of Failure-to-Rescue (FTR) as a patient safety indicator (defined as the deaths among surgical patients with treatable complications), no study has explored the geographic variation of FTR in a large health jurisdiction. Our study aimed to explore the spatiotemporal variations of FTR rates across New South Wales (NSW), Australia. We conducted a population-based study...

BACKGROUND Complication management appears to be of vital importance to differences in survival following surgery between surgical units. Failure-to-rescue (FTR) rates have not yet distinguished surgical from general medical complications. The aim of this study was to assess whether variability exists in FTR rates after reoperation for serious surgical complications following colorectal cancer ...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (A-FTR), defined as TR due to prominent right atrial (RA) dilatation without significant ventricular (RV) remodelling, has recently emerged a distinct subtype FTR, and can be distinguished from FTR (V-FTR), by RV remodelling leading annular leaflet tethering. However, so far no ...

OBJECTIVE To assess in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing many commonly performed urological surgeries in light of decreasing nationwide perioperative mortality over the past decade. This phenomenon has been attributed in part to a decline in 'failure to rescue' (FTR) rates, e.g. death after a complication that was potentially recognisable/preventable. PATIENTS AND METHODS Discharges o...
