TL;DR: The strategic value of fluorine substitution in drug design is discussed in terms of chemical structure and basic concepts in drug metabolism and drug toxicity.
Abstract: This article reviews current knowledge of the metabolism of drugs that contain fluorine. The strategic value of fluorine substitution in drug design is discussed in terms of chemical structure and basic concepts in drug metabolism and drug toxicity.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for assessing the interaction of global pressures and local dynamics in the production of human vulnerability is presented, and it is concluded that this is a critical time for small island developing states (SIDS) which must contend with ongoing developmental pressures in addition to growing pressures from risks associated with global environmental change and economic liberalisation that threaten their physical and economic security.

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study provides an analytical framework to comprehensively assess trends for under-5 mortality, age-specific and cause-specific mortality among children under 5 years, and stillbirths by geography over time and decomposed the changes in under- 5 mortality to changes in SDI at the global level.

TL;DR: Part 1.
Abstract: The Handbook of Modal Logic contains 20 articles, which collectively introduce contemporary modal logic, survey current research, and indicate the way in which the field is developing. The articles survey the field from a wide variety of perspectives: the underling theory is explored in depth, modern computational approaches are treated, and six major applications areas of modal logic (in Mathematics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Game Theory, and Philosophy) are surveyed. The book contains both well-written expository articles, suitable for beginners approaching the subject for the first time, and advanced articles, which will help those already familiar with the field to deepen their expertise.

TL;DR: A more liberal approach to delaying clamping of the umbilical cord in healthy term infants appears to be warranted, in light of early iron stores in haemoglobin concentrations, which is likely delayed that jaundice is available for long as access to phototherapy requiring phototherapy.
Abstract: Background Policies for timing of cord clamping vary, with early cord clamping generally carried out in the first 60 seconds after birth, whereas later cord clamping usually involves clamping the umbilical cord greater than one minute after the birth or when cord pulsation has ceased. Objectives To determine the effects of different policies of timing of cord clamping at delivery of the placenta on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Search strategy We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (December 2007). Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials comparing early and late cord clamping. Data collection and analysis Two review authors independently assessed trial eligibility and quality and extracted data. Main results We included 11 trials of 2989 mothers and their babies. No significant differences between early and late cord clamping were seen for postpartum haemorrhage or severe postpartum haemorrhage in any of the five trials (2236 women) which measured this outcome (relative risk (RR) for postpartum haemorrhage 500 mls or more 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.96 to 1.55). For neonatal outcomes, our review showed both benefits and harms for late cord clamping. Following birth, there was a significant increase in infants needing phototherapy for jaundice (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.38 to 0.92; five trials of 1762 infants) in the late compared with early clamping group. This was accompanied by significant increases in newborn haemoglobin levels in the late cord clamping group compared with early cord clamping (weighted mean difference 2.17 g/dL; 95% CI 0.28 to 4.06; three trials of 671 infants), although this effect did not persist past six months. Infant ferritin levels remained higher in the late clamping group than the early clamping group at six months. Authors' conclusions One definition of active management includes directions to administer an uterotonic with birth of the anterior shoulder of the baby and to clamp the umbilical cord within 30-60 seconds of birth of the baby (which is not always feasible in practice). In this review delaying clamping of the cord for at least two to three minutes seems not to increase the risk of postpartum haemorrhage. In addition, late cord clamping can be advantageous for the infant by improving iron status which may be of clinical value particularly in infants where access to good nutrition is poor, although delaying clamping increases the risk of jaundice requiring phototherapy.
