background: exposure to blood-borne pathogens from needle-stick and sharp injuries continues to pose a significant risk to health care workers. these events are of concern because of the risk to transmit blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis b virus, hepatitis c virus, and the human immunodeficiency virus. objective: to benchmark different risk factors associated with needle-stick incidents am...

In this country any chemist or druggist can furnish the means of self-destruction or murder for a few pence, and in too many instances have done so with the utmost indifference. The sale of a poison is regarded as a mere act of commercial intercourse; tant pis for the unfortunate victim of error or passion; he has the benefit of a coroner's inquest; the vendor of the poison receives a reprimand...

Protease inhibitors (PIs) effectively inhibit replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and reduce mortality and prolong survival in patients with HIV infection. Newer PIs saquinavir (soft gelatin capsule) and amprenavir, as well as other PIs, may be effective when administered twice/day. Adverse reactions may occur, as well as metabolic complications and interactions between PIs a...

Producing manure-based fertilizers (MBFs) with specific nutrient ratios is a solution to overpassing the imbalance of nitrogen and phosphorus in manures, way recycle manure’s nutrients, promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Several MBFs different tailored N:P (0.5:1, 1:1 2:1) were produced determine their agronomic value pot experiment oat (0.5:1 ratio: cattle manure pig slurry (CaM+PiS...

Sequential IgE-binding epitopes were identified on the molecular surface of Pis v 1 (2S albumin), 2 (11S globulin/legumin) and 3 (7S globulin/vicilin)—major allergens from pistachio (Pistacia vera) seeds—using Spot technique. They essentially consist hydrophilic electropositively charged residues well exposed allergens. Most epitopic regions do not coincide with putative N-glycosylation sites t...

of prior cloud work: The PIs have built Depot, a cloud storage system that minimizes trust assumptions. Depot tolerates buggy or malicious behavior by any number of clients or servers, yet it provides safety and liveness guarantees to correct clients. Depot provides these guarantees using a two-layer architecture. First, Depot ensures that the updates observed by correct nodes are consistently ...

This paper proposes two models for evaluating Pharmacy Information Systems (PIS) on their user satisfaction, thereby exploring one of the major requirements in designing PIS for pharmacy networks. The first model is developed to measure pharmacies' satisfaction with their PIS and the second model is developed to specify the determinants of PIS satisfaction. Both models were validated by data fr...
