Summary

The direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are a relatively new class of drug. This chapter provides prescribers with some general rules for their use, describes which patients are eligible and which are not, and discusses dosing regimens for atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. In addition, the reader can learn about monitoring, interactions and reversal.

Summary

Warfarin is highly effective in killing rats, and in the hands of the uneducated, is just as effective in killing humans. The author provides tips for getting it right every time, including how to initiate treatment, how to reverse its effects, and drug and food interactions to watch out for.

Summary

Successful anticoagulation is a fine balance between clotting and bleeding, which can easily go wrong. The good news is that basic principles can help manage this scenario effectively. The author provides background information on low molecular weight heparins, their use in the treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, its monitoring and reversal, and dose adjustment for body weight and renal function.

A method for improving range resolution in passive radar system is to jointly use more than one transmission channel of the same illuminator of opportunity (IO). This paper specifically focuses on the exploitation of multiple adjacent digital video broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T) channels for achieving high-range resolution profiles with a passive radar system operating in air surveillance scenario. Firstly, we present an analysis of the ambiguity function obtained from a multichannel DVB-T source and a pre-processing technique able to improve the characteristics of the multichannel signal are presented. Afterwards, the experimental scenario is defined and detection results on aerial targets are shown.
