Virtuelle Welten: Top oder Flop? Ein Erfahrungsbericht am Beispiel Second Life

▼Aliskiren for hypertension in adults

High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease worldwide.1 Drug treatments include those that target the renin-angiotensin system, a key hormone cascade in the regulation of blood pressure. One of these is ▼aliskiren (Rasilez – Novartis), which belongs to a new class of drugs, direct renin inhibitors.2 Here we assess its place in managing adults with hypertension. BNF 2.5...

Renin inhibition with aliskiren in hypertension: focus on aliskiren/hydrochlorothiazide combination therapy

Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular and renal disease. The incidence of hypertension is increasing globally and the rate of blood pressure control remains inadequate. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a crucial role in volume regulation and maintenance of blood pressure. Pathological activation of RAAS results in chronic hypertension and con...

Flip-Flop Nets

The so-called synthesis problem for nets which consists in deciding whether a given automaton is isomorphic to the case graph of a net and then constructing the net has been solved for various type of nets ranging from elementary nets to Petri nets. Though P/T nets admits polynomial time synthesis algorithms, the synthesis problem for elementary nets is known to be NP-complete. Applying the pri...
