Bounded Temporal Fairness for FIFO Financial Markets
Financial exchange operators cater to the needs of their users while
simultaneously ensuring compliance with the financial regulations. In this
work, we focus on the operators' commitment for fair treatment of all competing
participants. We first discuss unbounded temporal fairness and then investigate
its implementation and infrastructure requirements for exchanges. We find that
these requirements can be fully met only under ideal conditions and argue that
unbounded fairness in FIFO markets is unrealistic. To further support this
claim, we analyse several real-world incidents and show that subtle
implementation inefficiencies and technical optimizations suffice to give
unfair advantages to a minority of the participants. We finally introduce,
{\epsilon}-fairness, a bounded definition of temporal fairness and discuss how
it can be combined with non-continuous market designs to provide equal
participant treatment with minimum divergence from the existing market

Drug-Induced Thrombophilic or Prothrombotic States: An Underestimated Clinical Problem That Involves Both Legal and Illegal Compounds
Vascular thrombosis, both arterial and venous, is a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There are multiple risk factors for thrombosis, both congenital and acquired, and in the majority of cases, these risk factors are not modifiable. Over the past 2 decades, multiple drugs (both illegal and legal) have been associated with increased risk of thrombosis. However, due to limited scientific literature regarding the prothrombotic tendencies of these drugs, there is a concomitant limited understanding of the pathophysiology of drug-induced thrombosis. As drugs are one of the few modifiable risk factors for thrombosis, further study and dissemination of knowledge regarding drug-associated and drug-induced thrombosis are essential and have the potential to lead to decreased future incidence of thrombosis. The mechanisms at the basis of the thrombophilic activity of these drugs are variable and sometimes still ill recognized. Increased levels of clotting factors, reduction in coagulation natural inhibitors, decreased fibrinolysis, activated clotting factors, increased blood viscosity, endothelial damage, and increased platelet number and activation are the most frequent causes. Arterial steal or coronary arteries no flow has also been implicated. In some cases due to the intake of several drugs, more than one mechanism is present in a given patient. The purpose of the present review is to analyze all the drugs demonstrated to be potentially thrombotic. It is hoped that a prudent use or nonuse of these drugs might result in a reduction of thrombosis-associated diseases
