description: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by functional motor performance deficits. Recent studies have demonstrated that the genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders can partially be explained by rare copy number variants (CNVs). To assess the role CNVs may play in the genetics of DCD, the genomic landscape of CNVs was explored in 82 children with DCD, compared to 2,988 European controls. We were able to demonstrate that children with DCD had increased rates of rare and large total (p=0.018) and genic (p=0.009) CNVs, which were enriched for deletions spanning brain-expressed (p=0.039) and neurodevelopmental (p=0.043) genes. Variants that overlapped genes that have been previously implicated in other neurodevelopmental disorders were also identified. Furthermore, one case allowed us to refine the motor phenotype seen in patients harboring 22q11.2 distal deletions. Together these results suggest that DCD has a genetic component that shares an underlying etiology with other neurodevelopmental disorders.

description: We present preliminary results on fitting of SEDs to 142 z>1 quasars selected in the mid-infrared. Our quasar selection finds objects ranging in extinction from highly obscured, type-2 quasars, through more lightly reddened type-1 quasars and normal type-1s. We find a weak tendency for the objects with the highest far-infrared emission to be obscured quasars, but no bulk systematic offset between the far-infrared properties of dusty and normal quasars as might be expected in the most naive evolutionary schemes. The hosts of the type-2 quasars have stellar masses comparable to those of radio galaxies at similar redshifts. Many of the type-1s, and possibly one of the type-2s require a very hot dust component in addition to the normal torus emission.

subject: emerging adulthood

description: The transition from high school to university is a time when young adults are vulnerable to a range of potentially negative outcomes; however, having a mentor as a form of positive social support can increase resilience and is associated with long-term positive outcomes. The current study examined a wide range of self-reported outcomes for 148 Canadian university students during their transition to adulthood, comparing those with a natural mentor to those without. Significant differences between those with a mentor and those without were found related to academics (academic/career goals, school importance), life satisfaction, and readiness for adulthood. Mentorship was also found to significantly predict readiness for adulthood in a regression model, after accounting for support from family and friends. Based on the current findings, high schools and universities should consider encouraging natural mentorship to aid in the transition after high school.
UHE neutrinos from Pop III stars: concept and constraints

description: We reconsider the model of neutrino production during the 'bright phase', first suggested in 1977, in the light of modern understanding of the role of Pop III stars and acceleration of particles in supernova shocks. We concentrate on the production of cosmogenic UHE neutrinos in supernova explosions that accompany the death of Pop III stars. Accelerated protons produce neutrinos in collisions with CMB photons. We deliberately use simplified assumptions which make our results transparent. Pop III stars are assumed to be responsible for the reionization of the universe as observed by WMAP. Since the evolution of Pop III stars is much faster than the Hubble rate, we consider the burst of UHE proton production to occur at fixed redshift (z_b=10-20). We discuss the formation of collisionless shocks and particle acceleration in the early universe. The composition of accelerated particles is expected to be proton dominated. A simple calculation is presented to illustrate the fact that the diffuse neutrinos flux from the bright phase burst is concentrated in a relatively narrow range around $7.5 \times 10^{15}(20/z_b)^2$ eV. The $ν_μ$ flux may be detectable by IceCube without violating the cascade upper limit and the expected energetics of SNe associated with Pop III stars. A possible signature of the neutrino production from Pop III stars may be the detection of resonant neutrino events. For the burst at $z_b=20$ and $\barν_e$-flux at the cascade upper limit, the number of resonant events in IceCube may be as high as 10 events in 5 years of observations. These events have equal energies, $E=6.3\times 10^{15}$ eV, in the form of e-m cascades. Given the large uncertainties in the existing predictions of UHE cosmogenic neutrino fluxes, we argue that neutrinos from the first stars might become one of the most reliable hopes for UHE neutrino astronomy.

Subjects: subject: General
subject: trade liberalization, consumer prices, difference in difference

description: This thesis examines how the Canada - U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) affects prices. I study two potential effects of the FTA: 1) the impact of the FTA on the border cost between Canada and the U.S. and 2) the impact of the FTA on the domestic consumer price of tradable goods in Canada. I make use of disaggregate CPI data for Canada and U.S. to examine the deviations from the law of one price after the FTA and exploit variations in tariff preference across time, characteristics of goods and exposure to trade with the U.S. to analyze the effect of FTA on consumer prices. In my thesis, with respect to the border cost between Canada and the U.S I find that my result shows that border cost still exists following the introduction of the FTA. In terms of the domestic consumer price, my results show that one percentage point increase in the FTA tariff concession decreases the consumer price of tradable goods in the provinces with average exposure to trade with the U.S. by at least 7.19% to at most 11.60%.

description: We present results of the search for hard X-ray/soft $γ$-ray emission in coincidence with publicly reported (via Transient Name Server, TNS; http://www.wis-tns.org/) fast radio bursts (FRBs). The search was carried out using continuous Konus-Wind data with 2.944 s time resolution. We perform a targeted search for each individual burst from 581 FRBs, along with a stacking analysis of the bursts from 8 repeating sources in our sample and a separate stacking analysis of the bursts from the non-repeating FRBs. We find no significant associations in either case. We report upper bounds on the hard X-ray (20 - 1500 keV) flux assuming four spectral models, which generally describe spectra of short and long GRBs, magnetar giant flares, and the short burst, coincident with FRB 200428 from a Galactic magnetar. Depending on the spectral model, our upper bounds are in the range of $(0.1 - 2) \times10^{-6}$ erg cm$^{-2}$. For 18 FRBs with known distances we present upper bounds on the isotropic equivalent energy release and peak luminosity. For the nearest FRB 200120E, we derive the most stringent upper bounds of $E_{\text{iso}}\leq$2.0 $\times 10^{44}$ erg and $L_{\text{iso}}\leq$1.2 $\times 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Furthermore, we report lower bounds on radio-to-gamma-ray fluence ratio $E_{\text{radio}}/E_{\text{iso}} \geq 10^{-11}-10^{-9}$ and compare our results with previously reported searches and theoretical predictions for high-energy counterparts to FRBs.

description: This thesis explores the role of housing, migration, the state, and the global economy in Calgary, Alberta using multiple research methods. The analysis draws on interview and participant observation data with migrants from India, Romania, Ethiopia, and Newfoundland, as well as housing providers and policy makers. The author also relied on her experiences working in the housing and homelessness policy field for eight years. The ethnographic approach was complemented by quantitative analysis of census, housing market, and program level data, along with public policy analysis. The theoretical framework draws on housing careers, political economy, and urban anthropology literature, particularly the ongoing debates on structuration, the state, and global cities. The main findings explore the link between migration and housing experiences, the meaning of home from migrants’ perspective, informal and formal housing, homelessness and housing stress, and the role of the state and public policy. Analysis sheds light on the relationship between migration and housing experiences, particularly probing the role of homeownership. By exploring the impact of state policies and global processes on migrants’ housing options and experiences, the study considers neoliberal policy development and implementation as part of the broader restructuring of cities and its impacts on migrant groups. The focus on the macro-dimensions of the housing market and state policies is complemented by an exploration of governance mechanisms and institutions and their intersection with individual migrants, policy makers, and housing providers. This exploration demonstrates that a grounded ethnographic approach to migration and housing can provide important insights into the restructuring of cities brought about by neoliberalism, contemporary governance processes, and urban informality practices.

description: One of the most promising explanations for the origin of the billion solar mass black holes (BHs) inferred to power quasars at redshifts z > 6 is that supermassive stars (SMSs) with masses > 10,000 solar masses collapse to form the seed BHs from which they grow. Here we review recent theoretical advances which provide support for this scenario. Firstly, given sufficiently high accretion rates of gas into the cores of primordial protogalaxies, it appears that neither the high energy radiation emitted from the stellar surface nor the limited lifetime of SMSs can prevent their growth to masses of up to > 100,000 solar masses. Secondly, recent cosmological simulations suggest that the high fluxes of molecule-dissociating radiation which may be required in order to achieve such high accretion rates may be more common in the early universe than previously thought. We conclude that the majority of supermassive BHs may originate from SMSs at high redshifts.

This article examines these tensions using the case of Poland, where the risk arises, in particular, in situations of ‘moral panic’, where intense public and political discourse around a specific issue with a strong sense of threat to society also generates expectations that policy and decision makers will quickly solve the problem. With the Polish National Integrity System (NIS) assessment as a background, we examine the need and the scope for developing research and evaluation instruments which help reduce the risk that anti-corruption initiatives will undermine the basis of a democratic state, with recommendations in this regard.

description: The phonon and thermodynamic properties of rare-earth-aluminum intermetallics AlRE (RE=Y, Gd, Pr, Yb) with B2-type structure are investigated by performing density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory within the quasiharmonic approximation. The phonon spectra and phonon density of states, including the phonon partial density of states and total density of states, have been discussed. Our results demonstrate that the density of states is mostly composed of Al states at the high frequency. The temperature dependence of various quantities such as the thermal expansions, the heat capacities at constant volume and constant pressure, the isothermal bulk modulus, and the entropy are obtained. The electronic contribution to the specific heat is discussed, and the presented results show that the thermal electronic excitation affecting the thermal properties is inessential.

description: Failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPT) in dairy calves is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. In this study, which involved 14 dairy farms in central Alberta, 44.2% of calves had FPT when serum total protein was used as a measure while 27.8% had FPT when serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) was used. Risk of FPT was associated with amount of colostral IgG consumed. Low risk of FPT was associated with feeding a combination of waste, sale, and milk replacer as the second feeding after colostrum. Higher risk of FPT was associated with feeding a colostrum supplement compared to frozen-thawed or colostrum replacer. Tube feeding of colostrum was associated with reduced growth and increased risk of death. Both the Brix refractometer and colostrometer are suitable tools to indirectly measure colostral IgG when used at cut points of 23% and 80 mg/mL, respectively.

description: Brownian oscillator, i.e. a micron-sized or smaller particle trapped in a thermally fluctuating environment is studied. The confining harmonic potential can move with a constant velocity. As distinct from the standard Langevin theory, the chaotic force driving the particle is correlated in time. The dynamics of the particle is described by the generalized Langevin equation with the inertial term, a coloured noise force, and a memory integral. We consider two kinds of the memory in the system. The first one corresponds to the exponentially correlated noise in a weakly viscoelastic fluid and in the second case the memory naturally arises within the Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics. Exact analytical solutions are obtained in both the cases using a simple and effective method not applied so far in this kind of problems.

description: The Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) is designed to observe ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and cosmic neutrinos from space with sensitivity over the full celestial sky. Developed as a NASA Astrophysics Probe-class mission, POEMMA consists of two identical telescopes orbiting the Earth in a loose formation designed to observe extensive air showers (EAS) via air fluorescence and Cherenkov emissions. UHECRs and UHE neutrinos above 20 EeV are observed with the stereo fluorescence technique, while tau neutrinos above 20 PeV are observed via the optical Cherenkov signals produced by up-going EAS generated by the decay of Earth-emerging tau-leptons. The POEMMA satellites are designed to quickly re-orientate to follow up transient cosmic neutrino candidate sources and obtain unparalleled neutrino flux sensitivity. Both observation techniques and the instrument design are being validated by current and upcoming missions, such as Mini-EUSO and EUSO-SPB as part of the JEM-EUSO program, and the Terzina instrument onboard the NUSES SmallSat mission. We discuss the POEMMA science performance and the current roadmap to the POEMMA mission.

description: Technology mediated learning is a regular occurrence in the 21st century classroom. This case study focuses on the use of the SMART Response™ XE Audience Response System in a large undergraduate education lecture. The study aims to address three important questions about engagement, participation, and instruction for teachers and students in large lecture classrooms using Audience Response Systems. Shy and reluctant learners are of special interest in this study. Survey data, instructor, student interviews, and field observations were collected for this study. Study findings indicate benefits for instructors along with an engaged, socially aware group of undergraduate students who inform their learning through reflection and exposure to peer ideas via the audience response system. The system worked flawlessly throughout the semester and encouraged student participation in lectures. Use of the anonymous feature appears to support students in sharing honest perspectives through clicker questions. The open-ended text entry questions despite the 140 character limit seems to engage the digital leaner and help them to focus on their learning in the large lecture. Recommendations for ongoing research and instructional practices are given.
Modeling the 3D net infiltration distribution at the Equity Silver Mine waste dump
Creators: name: Lin, Tai-Yi Debbie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Equity Silver Mine site has been experiencing problems with ARD at its waste dump facility since 1981. A protective engineered soil cover was constructed over the top of the entire waste dump with the purpose of reducing ARD by impeding water and oxygen infiltration into the waste rock. Currently, there is a discrepancy between the 15% actual the 5% previously predicted infiltration. A new model illustrating the 3D net infiltration distribution over the surface of the Equity Silver Mine waste dump is presented in this thesis. The 3D infiltration model was developed through the integration of soil-atmosphere moisture flux and slope energy modeling. Verified soil properties from previous Equity Silver Mine waste dump soil cover modeling were used, in combination with updated climate data, to carry out the model development. The 3D models show that the difference in net infiltration at various slopes across the waste dump can vary as much as 15%, with infiltration of up to 30% on the north-facing side. Approximate quantification for the total flow into the waste rock layer showed that for the year of 2004, there can be up to 12% of total annual precipitation. Furthermore, it was also established that 35% of total infiltration into the cover occurs through the horizontal and south-facing dump surfaces, while 65% of the infiltration occurs through the north-facing and other sloped surfaces. Infiltration and flow increased by 42% when sloped Qnet values were applied. Areas of high infiltration over the surface of the waste dump were consistent for all net infiltration models developed. With the high infiltrative problem areas identified, Equity Silver site personnel can now use the newly developed 3D net infiltration model to navigate the locations where soil cover improvement would need to be implemented.

description: We study an optical response of a system of two parallel close metallic cylinders having nanoscale dimensions. Surface plasmon excitation in the gap between the cylinders are specifically analyzed. In particular, resonance frequencies and field enhancement were investigated as functions of geometrical characteristics of the system and Ohmic losses in the metal. The results of numerical simulations were systematically compared with the analytical theory, obtained in the quasi-static limit. The analytical method was generalized in order to take into account the retardation effects. We also present the physical qualitative picture of the plasmon modes, which is validated by numerical simulations and analytical theory.
Could the TeV emission of starburst galaxies originate from pulsar wind nebulae?

description: While the GeV $γ$-ray emission of starburst galaxies (SBG) is commonly thought to arise from hadronic interactions between accelerated cosmic rays and interstellar gas, the origin of the TeV $γ$-ray emission is more uncertain. One possibility is that a population of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) in these galaxies could be responsible for the TeV $γ$-ray emission. In this work, we first synthesize a PWNe population in the Milky Way, and assessed their contribution to the $γ$-ray emission of the Galaxy, using a time-dependent model to calculate the evolution of the PWN population. Such synthetic PWN population can reproduce the flux distribution of identified PWNe in the Milky Way given a distribution of the initial state of the pulsar population. We then apply it to starburst galaxies and quantitatively calculate the spectral energy distribution of all PWNe in the SBG NGC 253 and M82. We propose that TeV $γ$-ray emission in starburst galaxies can be dominated by PWNe for a wide range of parameter space. The energetic argument requires that $η_e \times v_{\rm SN} > 0.01 {\rm yr}^{-1}$, where $η_e$ is the fraction the spin-down energy going to electrons and $v_{\rm SN}$ is the supernova rate. By requiring the synchrotron emission flux of all PWNe in the galaxy not exceeding the hard X-ray measurement of NGC 253, we constrain the initial magnetic field strength of PWNe to be $< 400 μ$G. Future observations at higher energies with LHAASO or next-generation neutrino observatory IceCube-Gen2 will help us to understand better the origin of the TeV $γ$-ray emission in SBGs.

description: This study investigated the parent-child relationship and its connection to comorbid behaviour problems for children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Specific relationship factors such as attachment, communication, discipline practices, involvement, parenting confidence, and relational frustration were examined in relationship to parental ratings of behavioural outcomes such as defiance, aggression, and conduct problems. Ratings of the relationship and behavioural outcomes were garnered through self-reports completed by children and their parents. Results indicated that different aspects of the parent-child relationship for both mothers and fathers were related to ratings of behavioural problems. Relational frustration was found to be a consistent predictor of negative ratings of behaviour for both parents while involvement was a predictor of more positive ratings of behaviour for fathers only. Results suggest that the parent-child relationship is important in relation to behavioural outcomes for children with ADHD and parents of these children may benefit from training in positive parenting practices.

Spectral Inversion of Multi-Line Full-Disk Observations of Quiet Sun Magnetic Fields

description: Spectral inversion codes are powerful tools to analyze spectropolarimetric observations, and they provide important diagnostics of solar magnetic fields. Inversion codes differ by numerical procedures, approximations of the atmospheric model, and description of radiative transfer. Stokes Inversion based on Response functions (SIR) is an implementation widely used by the solar physics community. It allows to work with different atmospheric components, where gradients of different physical parameters are possible, e.g., magnetic field strength and velocities. The spectropolarimetric full-disk observations were carried out with the Stokesmeter of the Solar Telescope for Operative Predictions (STOP) at the Sayan Observatory on 3 February 2009, when neither an active region nor any other extended flux concentration was present on the Sun. In this study of quiet Sun magnetic fields, we apply the SIR code simultaneously to 15 spectral lines. A tendency is found that weaker magnetic field strengths occur closer to the limb. We explain this finding by the fact that close to the limb, we are more sensitive to higher altitudes in an expanding flux tube, where the field strength should be smaller since the magnetic flux is conserved with height. Typically, the inversions deliver two populations of magnetic elements: (1) high magnetic field strengths (1500-2000 G) and high temperatures (5500-6500 K) and (2) weak magnetic fields (50-150 G) and low temperatures (5000-5300 K).

description: We reveal the gate-tunable Berry curvature dipole polarizability in Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 nanoplates through measurements of the third-order nonlinear Hall effect. Under an applied electric field, the Berry curvature exhibits an asymmetric distribution, forming a field-induced Berry curvature dipole, resulting in a measurable third-order Hall voltage with a cubic relationship to the longitudinal electric field. Notably, the magnitude and polarity of this third-order nonlinear Hall effect can be effectively modulated by gate voltages. Furthermore, our scaling relation analysis demonstrates that the sign of the Berry curvature dipole polarizability changes when tuning the Fermi level across the Dirac point, in agreement with theoretical calculations. The results highlight the gate control of nonlinear quantum transport in Dirac semimetals, paving the way for promising advancements in topological electronics.

description: Focusing on behavioural criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis leads to considerable neuropsychological profile heterogeneity among diagnosed children and variable response to methylphenidate (MPH) treatment. Documenting “cool” executive/working memory (EWM) or “hot” self-regulation (SR)neuropsychological impairments could aid in differential diagnosis of ADHD subtypes and may help determine the optimal MPH treatment dose. In this study, children with ADHD Inattentive Type (n = 18) (IT) and Combined (n = 35)(CT) underwent a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 4-week MPH trial. Neuropsychological, behavioural, and observational data were collected to evaluate medication response. Results from individual neuropsychological tests suggest that performance was not uniform; those with moderate or significant baseline EWM/SR impairment showed robust MPH response, while response for those with lower baseline executive impairment was minimal. Implications for medication titration, academic achievement, and long-term treatment efficacy were examined.

description: We present the state of the art of the Local Analytic Sector subtraction. The scheme is now complete at NLO in the massless case for the treatment of initial- and final-state radiations. Its flexibility has been improved by the introduction of damping factors, which can be tuned to reduce numerical instabilities, though preserving the simplicity of the algorithm. The same degree of universality has been reached at NNLO for final-state radiation, where we derived fully analytic and compact results for all integrated counterterms. This allows us to explicitly check the cancellation of the virtual infrared singularities in generic processes with massless final-state partons.

description: The first aim of this paper is to construct new generating functions for the generalized λ-Stirling type numbers of the second kind, generalized array type polynomials and generalized Eulerian type polynomials and numbers, attached to Dirichlet character. We derive various functional equations and differential equations using these generating functions. The second aim is provide a novel approach to deriving identities including multiplication formulas and recurrence relations for these numbers and polynomials using these functional equations and differential equations. Furthermore, by applying p-adic Volkenborn integral and Laplace transform, we derive some new identities for the generalized λ-Stirling type numbers of the second kind, the generalized array type polynomials and the generalized Eulerian type polynomials. We also give many applications related to the class of these polynomials and numbers.

description: The nonvolatile magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) is believed to facilitate emerging applications, such as in memory computing, neuromorphic computing and stochastic computing. Two dimensional (2D) materials and their van der Waals heterostructures promote the development of MRAM technology, due to their atomically smooth interfaces and tunable physical properties. Here we report the all-2D magnetoresistive memories featuring all electrical data reading and writing at room temperature based on WTe2/Fe3GaTe2/BN/Fe3GaTe2 heterostructures. The data reading process relies on the tunnel magnetoresistance of Fe3GaTe2/BN/Fe3GaTe2. The data writing is achieved through current induced polarization of orbital magnetic moments in WTe2, which exert torques on Fe3GaTe2, known as the orbit transfer torque (OTT) effect. In contrast to the conventional reliance on spin moments in spin transfer torque and spin orbit torque, the OTT effect leverages the natural out of plane orbital moments, facilitating field-free perpendicular magnetization switching through interface currents. Our results indicate that the emerging OTT MRAM is promising for low power, high performance memory applications.

description: One of the most challenging problems in distribution network is islanding detection, since it causes serious problems for equipment connected to the network, specially distributed generators (DG). Network fluctuations occurring at different situations impact the accuracy of islanding detection method. The proposed islanding detection method is based on the well-known theory of symmetrical components. Single variable threshold limit for islanding detection leads to incorrect results. As a result, a new mathematical formula with more than one variable has been implemented. In this dissertation, islanded and normal operations have been distinguished by connecting and disconnecting different types of loads, tripping of other DG and applying both symmetric and asymmetric faults at different location on the distribution system. The proposed method has been simulated for various operating conditions, and the results verify that the proposed method correctly detects the islanding operation and does not mal-operate.

description: Isolated photon production at hadron colliders proceeds via direct production and fragmentation processes. Theory predictions for the isolated photon and photon-plus-jet cross section often impose idealised photon isolation criteria, eliminating the fragmentation contribution and introducing a systematic uncertainty in the comparison to data. We present NNLO predictions for the photon-plus-jet cross section with the experimental isolation including both, direct and fragmentation contributions. Predictions with two different parton-to-photon fragmentation functions are compared, allowing for an estimation of the uncertainty stemming from the only loosely constrained photon fragmentation functions.

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a combined dietary (oligofructose) and pharmacological (sitagliptin) anti-obesity therapy in diet-induced obese female Sprague-Dawley rats and determine if the effects persist throughout pregnancy and lactation. Body weight, glucose tolerance, satiety hormones, and gut microbiota were measured following obesity induction, treatment, and lactation phases of the study. During the treatment period, rats were randomized to seven experimental groups (n=13): (1) High Fat/High Sucrose (Obese Control); (2) Lean Control (Never Obese); (3) AIN-93M (Control-Treated Obese); (4) Oligofructose (Fiber-Treated Obese); (5) Sitagliptin (Drug-Treated Obese); (6) Oligofructose and Sitagliptin (Combination-Treated Obese); and (7) Caloric Restriction (Weight-Matched to Group 6). The combination of oligofructose and sitagliptin resulted in enhanced weight loss, improved glucose tolerance, and gut hormone and microbiota profiles associated with a lean phenotype. Some, but not all, benefits persisted to the end of lactation. The combined therapy may represent a novel anti-obesity treatment.

description: Нестероидные противовоспалительные препараты (НПВП) с неселективным и селективным ингибированием различных типов циклооксигеназы обладают рядом нежелательных лекарственных реакций на уровне пищеварительного тракта и кардиоваскулярной системы. Для профилактики и лечения повреждений НПВП-ассоциированных гастроэнтеропатий успешно применяются ингибиторы протонной помпы (ИПП). При выборе ИПП с потенциально равной эффективностью часто не учитываются различия в степени подавления ими активности изоферментов системы цитохрома Р450. В настоящее время остро обсуждаемыми являются вопросы межлекарственного взаимодействия омепразола и пантопразола при совместном назначении с НПВП на уровне системы цитохромов P450. Так как омепразол обладает более низкой ингибиторной активностью в отношении CYP2C9, а также CYP3А4, участвующих в метаболизме НПВП, совместное назначение омепразола с НПВП считается обоснованным и подтверждается научными данными низкого риска развития побочных эффектов. Среди препаратов омепразола, представленных на российском фармацевтическом рынке, Омез® является одним из самых востребованных, изученных и надежных лекарственных средств, полностью отвечающий критериям эффективности и безопасности, в том числе при совместном применении с НПВП, ацетилсалициловой кислотой, парацетамолом и селективными ингибиторами циклооксигеназы-2.
