Abstract: A method to manage raw genomic data (SAM/BAM files) in a privacy preserving manner in a biobank. By using order preserving encryption of the reads' positions, the method provides a requested range of nucleotides to a medical unit, without revealing the locations of the short reads (which include the requested nucleotides) to the biobank. The method prevents the leakage of extra information in the short reads to the medical unit by masking the encrypted short reads at the biobank. That is, specific parts of the genomic data for which the medical unit is not authorized or the patient prefers to keep secret are masked at the biobank, without revealing any information to the biobank.

Abstract: Novel compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is lower-alkyl, lower-alkoxy-lower-alkyl, lower-alkylthio-lower-alkyl or furyl, R.sup.2 is lower-alkyl, phenyl-lower-alkyl or cyclohexyl-lower-alkyl, each of R.sup.3 and R.sup.6 independently is hydrogen or fluorine, each of R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 independently is hydrogen or lower-alkoxy or together are methylenedioxy, ethylenedioxy or ethylenoxy and n is an integer from 1 to 3, have a pronounced activity in counteracting cerebral insufficiency or improving cognitive functions and also reduce the multiple-resistance towards cytostatics in the treatment of tumors or of chloroquine resistance in the treatment of malaria. They can accordingly be used as medicaments, especially for the control or prevention of cerebral insufficiency or for the improvement of cognitive functions. The novel compounds of formula I can be manufactured by O-acylating a likewise novel compound of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.

Abstract: Tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein Y, m, n, R and R.sup.1 to R.sup.9 are as set forth herein, are described.These compounds have a pronounced calcium-antagonistic and anti-arrhythmic activity and can accordingly be used as medicaments, especially for the control or prevention of angina pectoris, ischaemia, arrhythmias and high blood pressure. The compounds of formula I can be prepared by the amination of a compound of the formula ##STR2## with a corresponding N-methyl-phenylalkylamine and optional subsequent O-acylation. Compounds of formula II and IV are also described and are within the scope of the invention.

Abstract: Oxadiazolo[2,3-c]pyrimidine derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or alkoxyalkyl, as well as their salts, are described. The compounds of formula I have valuable, long-lasting vasodilating and/or blood pressure-lowering properties and are useful for the treatment of vascular-conditioned hypertensions or as vasodilators in peripheral blood supply disorders. The compounds are prepared, inter alia, by carbamoylating the corresponding derivative containing a free amino group and optional salt formation.
