The poor immune response elicited by trivalent influenza vaccines (TIVs) in children can be enhanced by the addition of adjuvants. This observer-blind, randomized Phase III trial assessed the immunogenicity and safety of the MF59-adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine FLUAD® (aTIV) and a non-adjuvanted TIV, in healthy children (aged 6 to <72 months) from 3 centers in Mexico, during the 2014-201...

Interest in home hemodialysis (HD) is high because of the reported benefits and its excellent safety record. However, the potential for serious adverse events (AEs) exists when patients perform HD in their homes without supervision. We review the epidemiology of dialysis-related emergencies during home HD, and present a conceptual and practical framework for the prevention and management of ser...

PURPOSE To analyze the adverse events (AEs) significantly associated with levetiracetam (LEV) therapy through a meta-analysis of all available double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs), performed in any age, gender, ethnic background and disease. General tolerability and study withdrawals due to AEs associated with LEV treatment were also investigated. In addition, a dose-effect...

This paper presents performance comparisons of the ISO/IEC 18033 standard block ciphers, AES, Camellia, SEED, TDEA, MISTY1, and CAST-128 in ASIC hardware. All the algorithms are implemented with a loop architecture where one round function block is used iteratively, and Sboxes are generated from lookup tables. In addition to the straightforward implementations, compact data path architectures w...

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the Federal Information Processing Standard for symmetric encryption. It is widely believed to be secure and efficient, and is therefore broadly accepted as the standard for both government and industry applications. If fact, almost any new protocol requiring symmetric encryption supports AES, and many existing systems that were originally designed with...

UNLABELLED We studied the changing patterns of radiopharmaceutical use and the incidence of adverse events (AEs) to PET radiopharmaceuticals, non-PET radiopharmaceuticals, and adjunctive nonradioactive pharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine from 2007 to 2011. METHODS Fifteen academic institutions submitted quarterly reports of radiopharmaceutical use and AEs covering 2007-2011. RESULTS 1,024,1...

In this paper we present the design of a full encryptor/decryptor core for AES algorithm which fits in single-chip FPGA. Our design performs encryption, decryption and key scheduling. To increase performance, a pipelined architecture is being proposed. In addition, several modifications to standard AES algorithm’s formulations have introduced that allow us to obtain a significant reduction in t...

Analysis of dissolved metals in acid rock drainage (ARD) with an Agilent 4100 MP AES instrument that combines a nitrogen micro plasma with atomic emission detection (MP AES) was compared with an ICP-MS. Sample preparation consisted only of filtration, acidification (HNO3 1%) and addition of internal standard elements after appropriate dilution. In these complex matrices the systems gave identic...

The current standard approach to demonstrate provable security of a block cipher against differential and linear cryptanalysis is based on the maximum expected differential and linear probability (MEDP and MELP) over a sequence of core cipher rounds. Often information about these values for a small number of rounds leads to significant insights concerning the security of the cipher for larger n...
