The protective index is a comparison of the amount of a therapeutic agent that causes the therapeutic effect to the amount that causes toxicity. Quantitatively, it is the ratio given by the toxic dose divided by the therapeutic dose. A protective index is the toxic dose of a drug for 50 of the population TD50 TD sub 50 sub divided by the minimum effective dose for 50 of the population ED 50 ED sub 50 sub . A high protective index is preferable to a low one this corresponds to a situation in which one would have to take a much higher dose of a drug to reach the toxic threshold than the dose taken to elicit the therapeutic effect. A drug should ordinarily only be administered if the protective index is greater than one, indicating that the benefit outweighs the risk. math mbox Protective index frac mathrm TD 50 mathrm ED 50 math The protective index is similar to the therapeutic index , but concerns toxicity TD50 TD sub 50 sub rather than lethality LD50 thus, the protective index is a smaller ratio. Toxicity can take many forms, as drugs typically have multiple side effects of varying severity, so a specific criterion of toxicity must be specified for the protective index to be meaningful. Ideally a choice is made such that the harm caused by the toxicity just outweighs the benefit of the drug s effect. Thus, the protective index is a more accurate measure of the benefit to risk ratio than the therapeutic index, but is less objectively defined. Nevertheless, the therapeutic index can be viewed as an upper bound to the protective index for a given substance. Pharmacology Category Pharmacology pharma stub ... more details

It has marked similarities to asset protection trusts found in several offshore jurisdictions and US Spendthrift trust s. In such a trust assets are ordinarily held to pay an income to the beneficiary trust beneficiary . The beneficiary may also have access to capital of the trust with the trustee s permission. The right to receive income from a trust would ordinarily be an asset in the hands of the beneficiary and could be sold, thwarting the intention of the donor to spread the gift over the recipient s lifetime. Additionally on a bankruptcy the right to the income would be sold by the beneficiary s trustee in bankruptcy. To give protection to beneficiaries, a protective trust automatically converts into a discretionary trust , under which the beneficiary has no right to the income, if he or she does anything which breaches a condition specified in the document creating the trust. The establishment of this discretionary trust is ordinarily exempt from the charge to UK inheritance tax on the establishment of discretionary trusts. Such protective trusts have a longstanding history. To reduce the verbose definitions that had previously to be recited in the establishing documents of a protective trust, in England and Wales s33 of the Trustee Act 1925 and equivalent legislation in other jurisdictions provides that this protection will arise in any trust described as a protective trust in its trust deed. Protective trusts are subject to challenge under creditor protection legislation as are any other forms of asset protection.

Protective autoimmunity is a condition in which cells of the adaptive immune system contribute to maintenance of the functional integrity of a tissue, or facilitate its repair following an insult. The term protective autoimmunity was coined by Prof. Michal Schwartz of the Weizmann Institute of Science Israel , whose pioneering studies were the first to demonstrate that autoimmune T lymphocytes can have a beneficial role in repair, following an injury to the central nervous system CNS .

A final protective fire is an immediately available preplanned barrier of direct and indirect fire designed to provide close protection to friendly positions and installations by impeding enemy movement into defensive areas. The size of the FPF depends on the number and type of weapons firing e.g. FPF size for one battery of 155mm howitzers is 300m X 50m . The supported maneuver commander designates the location of the FPF and it is adjusted into place by the forward observer. Normally, the FPF is within 200 to 400 meters of friendly positions and is integrated into the final protective line of the maneuver unit. As the final in the name implies, it is the last resort in defensive plans, involving artillery integrated with small arms and heavy machine gun fire directed dangerously close to friendly defensive positions that are at risk of being overrun by the enemy. A request for final protective fire generally has absolute priority over any other kind of requests.

In the United States , Adult Protective Services APS are social services provided to abused, neglected, or exploited older and or disabled adults. APS is typically administered by local or state health, aging, or regulatory departments and includes a multi disciplinary approach to helping victims of elder abuse . Services range from investigation of mistreatment to legal intervention in the form of court orders or surrogate decision makers such as a legal guardian . Many states provide adult protective services to older adults only, such as the case in Ohio where the APS law applies to those 60 and older. Other states provide adult protective services to anyone over the age of 18. APS is intended to assist vulnerable adults such as those with disabilities due to aging, health related issues, or dementia . Forms of abuse include physical, emotional, verbal, and sexual abuse. Exploitation can be either financial or material in nature. Neglect can be perpetrated by any caregiver who has accepted the responsibility of assisting an older or disabled adult. Additionally, many states include self neglect in their definition of those needing adult protective services. Self neglect involves an individual s inability to care for themselves due to physical or cognitive deficits.
