Application of high-content immune profiling technologies has enormous potential to advance medicine. Whether these technologies reveal pertinent biology when implemented in interventional clinical trials is an important question. The beneficial effects of preoperative arginine-enriched dietary supplements (AES) are highly context specific, as they reduce infection rates in elective surgery, bu...

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael, is an encryption standard used for securing information. AES was published by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). AES is a block cipher algorithm that has been analyzed extensively and is now used widely. AES is a symmetric block cipher that is intended to replace DES as the approved standard for a wide range of appl...

In India, quality surveillance for acute encephalitis syndrome (AES), including laboratory testing, is necessary for understanding the epidemiology and etiology of AES, planning interventions, and developing policy. We reviewed AES surveillance data for January 2011-June 2012 from Kushinagar District, Uttar Pradesh, India. Data were cleaned, incidence was determined, and demographic characteris...

OBJECTIVE Intra-articular injections of the C1-2 joint are an effective therapeutic option for pain generated from degenerative and inflammatory conditions affecting the joint. Limited information exists about the adverse events (AEs) associated with these injections. The primary aim of this study is to describe the frequency and type of AEs associated with C1-2 joint injections. The secondary ...

OBJECTIVES To systematically analyse the literature on reported adverse events (AEs) of intravenous pulse glucocorticoids (GCs) (≥ 250 mg prednisone equivalent) for inflammatory diseases. METHODS A literature search was done using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Studies were selected by two reviewers (NAMS and ND). Available data on the prevalence of GC-related AEs in patients with in...

Abstract. Biclique cryptanalysis was proposed by Bogdanov et al. in Asiacrypt 2011 as a new tool for cryptanalysis of block ciphers. A major hurdle in carrying out biclique cryptanalysis is that it has a very high query complexity (of the order of 2 for AES-128, 2 for AES-192 and 2 for AES-256). This naturally puts a big question mark over the practical feasibility of implementing biclique atta...

BACKGROUND The national incidence of adverse events (AEs) in Swedish orthopedic care has never been described. A new national database has made it possible to describe incidence, nature, preventability and consequences of AEs in Swedish orthopedic care. METHODS We used national data from a structured two-stage record review with a Swedish modification of the Global Trigger Tool. The sample wa...

OBJECTIVES To examine the causes of adverse events (AEs) and potential prevention strategies to minimise the occurrence of AEs in hospitalised patients. METHODS For the 744 AEs identified in the patient record review study in 21 Dutch hospitals, trained reviewers were asked to select all causal factors that contributed to the AE. The results were analysed together with data on preventability ...

Rotating Sbox Masking (RSM) scheme is a lightweight and highly efficient first-order masking scheme proposed to protect cryptographic implementations like AES from side channel attacks. It is a Low Entropy Masking Scheme (LEMS) and has attracted special attention from academia and industry with its low overhead and high performance. The two public targets of DPA Contest v4 are both RSM-masked A...
