LDL-C Targets in Secondary Prevention: How Low Should We Go? by Karim Bayoumy (3496688)

“…The concern for adverse effects with very low LDL-C levels is not backed by the literature, and side effects appear to be medication-specific. There still remains a question of the cost-effectiveness of some non-statin therapies particularly PCSK9 inhibitors, in spite of recent price decreases, and whether the benefit is worth the cost.…”

Application of an empirical transport model to simulate retention of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide in sand columns by Choy, Christine Chin

“…Most of the nanoparticles remained in the sand columns, with an increasing then decreasing retained solids pattern. Application of a one-dimensional advection–dispersion flow model, that included two empirical kinetic terms to account for particle retention in the porous media, produced data fits that followed the general trend of the data, but did not truly capture the concentration maxima in the data sets. …”
