AIM To determine the prevalence of poly-pharmacy and pattern associated drug- drug interactions among CKD patients. OBJECTIVE assess various classes drugs prescribed – interactions. comorbidities METHOD A descriptive prospective study 6 months duration that was carried out to review medical case records adult patients attending GGH tertiary care hospital. CONCLUSION The polypharmacy is predomin...

Sixteen different mould cultures viz. Aspergillus, Alternaria, Arthroderma, Trichoderma, Fusarium, Penicillium, Rhizopus and Chochliobolus were isolated from the soil samples of Qatar by serial dilution method. The preliminary screening of isolates was done by selecting initial colonies showing relatively bigger zones of starch hydrolysis on nutrient agar plates. The isolates were then subjecte...

We briefly recall Micciancio’s “cleaned-up version” of GGH cryptosystems [GGH97, Mic01]. The secret and public keys are “good” and “bad” bases of some lattice Λ. More specifically, the keyholder generates a good basis by choosing Bsk to be a basis of short, “nearly orthogonal” vectors. Then it sets the public key to be the Hermite normal form of the same lattice, Bpk def = HNF(Λ(Bsk)). A cipher...

The establishment of individualized chemotherapy for colorectal carcinoma based on the expression of genes involved in chemotherapeutic sensitivity or prognosis is necessary. To achieve this, the expression profiles of genes within tumors and their relationship to clinicopathological factors must be elucidated. Here, we selected 10 genes (TS, DPD, TP, FPGS, GGH, DHFR, ERCC1, TOPO-1, VEGF, and E...

In this paper we present a multiscale, individual-based simulation environment that integrates CompuCell3D for lattice-based modelling on the cellular level and Bionetsolver for intracellular modelling. CompuCell3D or CC3D provides an implementation of the lattice-based Cellular Potts Model or CPM (also known as the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg or GGH model) and a Monte Carlo method based on the metr...

Initial attempts to obtain lattice based signatures were closely related to reducing a vector modulo the fundamental parallelepiped of a secret basis (like GGH [9], or NTRUSign [12]). This approach leaked some information on the secret, namely the shape of the parallelepiped, which has been exploited on practical attacks [24]. NTRUSign was an extremely efficient scheme, and thus there has been ...
