TL;DR: The use of orlistat has been associated with several mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal adverse effects, such as oily stools, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and faecal spotting, and the clinical relevance and pathogenesis of these effects is discussed.
Abstract: Orlistat, an anti-obesity drug, is a potent and specific inhibitor of intestinal lipases In light of the recent US FDA approval of the over-the-counter sale of orlistat (60 mg three times daily), clinicians need to be aware that its use may be associated with less well known, but sometimes clinically relevant, adverse effects More specifically, the use of orlistat has been associated with several mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal adverse effects, such as oily stools, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and faecal spotting A few cases of serious hepatic adverse effects (cholelithiasis, cholostatic hepatitis and subacute liver failure) have been reported However, the effects of orlistat on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are beneficial Orlistat-induced weight loss seems to have beneficial effects on blood pressure No effect has been observed on calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper or zinc balance or on bone biomarkers Interestingly, the use of orlistat has been associated with rare cases of acute kidney injury, possibly due to the increased fat malabsorption resulting from the inhibition of pancreatic and gastric lipase by orlistat, leading to the formation of soaps with calcium and resulting in increased free oxalate absorption and enteric hyperoxaluria Orlistat has a beneficial effect on carbohydrate metabolism No significant effect on cancer risk has been reported with orlistat Orlistat interferes with the absorption of many drugs (such as warfarin, amiodarone, ciclosporin and thyroxine as well as fat-soluble vitamins), affecting their bioavailability and effectiveness This review considers orlistat-related adverse effects and drug interactions The clinical relevance and pathogenesis of these effects is also discussed

TL;DR: In this paper, a greedy algorithm for learning a Gaussian mixture is proposed, which uses a combination of global and local search each time a new component is added to the mixture and achieves solutions superior to EM with k components in terms of the likelihood of a test set.
Abstract: Learning a Gaussian mixture with a local algorithm like EM can be difficult because (i) the true number of mixing components is usually unknown, (ii) there is no generally accepted method for parameter initialization, and (iii) the algorithm can get trapped in one of the many local maxima of the likelihood function. In this paper we propose a greedy algorithm for learning a Gaussian mixture which tries to overcome these limitations. In particular, starting with a single component and adding components sequentially until a maximum number k, the algorithm is capable of achieving solutions superior to EM with k components in terms of the likelihood of a test set. The algorithm is based on recent theoretical results on incremental mixture density estimation, and uses a combination of global and local search each time a new component is added to the mixture.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation and analysis of the energy and environmental performance of a green roof system installed in a nursery school building in Athens is presented and analyzed, while in the second one the energy savings were examined through a mathematical approach by calculating both the cooling and heating load for the whole building as well as for its top floor.
