ABSTRACT
This paper presents a phase retrieval method for digital holography with two high-speed cameras in particle measurement. The conditions for recording two holograms are derived theoretically. We focus in particular on the distance between the two holograms. The relative misalignment of the two holograms is also evaluated by numerical simulations. Finally, we experimentally compared settling particles reconstructed by the presented method and the Gabor method.
ABSTRACT
The post-marketing surveillance of meropenem (Meropen) for febrile neutropenia (FN) was conducted between July 2010 and June 2012 to evaluate safety and efficacy under actual clinical use. There were 1191 and 1124 evaluable cases for safety and efficacy respectively, of 1207 case cards collected from 180 institutions. In safety analysis, the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with use of meropenem (including abnormal laboratory findings) was 15.7% (187/1191 cases), and the main ADRs were alanine aminotransferase increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, blood alkaline phosphatase increased, hepatic function abnormal, and liver disorder, which were similar to these observed in the clinical study for FN or post marketing surveillances of meropenem conducted before. In efficacy analysis, the overall efficacy was 81.8% (919/1124 cases). Also, it was 79.2% (708/894 cases) for hematological malignancy and 91.8% (213/232 cases) for solid cancer. These results confirmed meropenem (Meropen) is one of the well-tolerated and potent antimicrobial agents for febrile neutropenia.

The post-marketing surveillance of meropenem (Meropen®) administered over 2g/day for serious infectious diseases was conducted between August 2011 and June 2013 to evaluate safety and efficacy under actual clinical use. There were 382 and 322 evaluable cases for safety and efficacy respectively, of 399 case cards collected from 87 institutions. In safety analysis, the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with use of meropenem (including abnormal laboratory findings) was 19.1% (73/382 cases), and the main ADRs were hepatic function abnormal, aspartate aminotransferase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, liver disorder, and diarrhoea, which were similar to these observed in the post-marketing surveillances of meropenem conducted before. In efficacy analysis, the efficacy was 73.6% (237/322 cases), which is as same as 71.4% (3214/4504 cases) of post-marketing surveillance of meropenem conducted after first approval under 2 g/day for infectious diseases. These results confirmed meropenem (Meropen®) is one of the useful antimicrobial agents for serious infectious diseases.

The post-marketing surveillance of meropenem for children was conducted between May 2004 and September 2006. The safety and the efficacy were analyzed in 1210 cases and 1004 cases, respectively. The results of this surveillance were as follows: The incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with use of meropenem (including abnormal laboratory findings) was 14.3% (173 cases), and the main ADRs were hepatic function abnormal, alanine aminotransferase increased, and aspartate aminotransferase increased, which were similar to these observed in the clinical study. And the efficacy was 88.6% (890 cases).
