Abstract

Techniques for improving computer modeling for generating predictions are described herein. In one example, a computer model is generated to examine data representing time slots in a schedule. In particular, the computer model can be configured to calculate a homeostatic pressure at a first slot in the schedule and determine (1 ) whether the calculated value of homeostatic pressure at the first slot exceeds a preset threshold and (2) whether the first slot corresponds to a preset status. In response to positive determinations to both, the computer model can iteratively search for a second slot in a portion of the schedule that precedes the first slot such that discretionary operations at the second slot would reduce the homeostatic pressure at the first slot to not exceed the threshold. Thus, the computer model can predict the discretionary operations even without relying on historical records of such operations.

Abstract

The present invention provides minimally invasive methods of detecting, diagnosing, and assessing neuronal damage associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Specific species of microRNAs (miRNA), small, noncoding RNA molecules that play gene regulatory functions, are correlated with cellular damage and oxidative stress following TBI or CTE, allowing for rapid, minimally-invasive diagnosis and assessment of brain injury. The early identification and longitudinal assessment of neuronal damage in subjects suffering from or at risk of suffering from a TBI (e.g., football players, boxers, military personnel, fall victims) will improve clinical outcomes by guiding critical medical and behavioral decision making.

Abstract

The present invention provides minimally invasive methods of detecting, diagnosing, and assessing neuronal damage associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Specific species of microRNAs (miRNA), small, noncoding RNA molecules that play gene regulatory functions, are correlated with cellular damage and oxidative stress following TBI or CTE, allowing for rapid, minimally-invasive diagnosis and assessment of brain injury. The early identification and longitudinal assessment of neuronal damage in subjects suffering from or at risk of suffering from a TBI (e.g., football players, boxers, military personnel, fall victims) will improve clinical outcomes by guiding critical medical and behavioral decision making.

Abstract

The invention provides methods for the detection of brain injury, such as traumatic brain injury (TBE) or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), in a patient (e.g., a human) that has suffered or is at risk of suffering one or more traumatic events. The methods of the invention measure, through non-invasive or invasive means, the expression of System xc- cystine/glutamate transporter expression in patient tissue (e.g., neuronal tissue). The loss of System xc- cystine/glutamate transporter expression is correlated with brain injury, severity, and disease progression.

Abstract

A process of growing a culture of cyanobacteria or algae using chitin or chitosan as a source of nitrogen for photosynthetic growth is described. This process can be used to remove pol lutants from nitrogen-deficient natural waters or wastewaters. Biomass that results from photosynthetic growth on chitin can be used, either as whole cells or the isolated components of the cells, for a large variety of commercial purposes.

Abstract

An upper anchor attached to the thigh of a wearer and a lower anchor attached to the calf secure a strap across the knee to allow rotational orthosis control of the tibia and fibula to limit or decrease excessive rotation, and correct resting alignment. The anchors adhere to the skin allowing the strap to be tightened to correct the mal-rotation and to control the corrected position of these two bones thus preventing mal-ration and its associated pain.

Abstract

Racemic mixtures and individual enantiomers of fluorine-18 or carbon-11 radiolabelled 2′-alkyl-6-nitroquipazine ligands are serotonin transporter (SERT) tracers for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The non-radioactive ligand forms possess therapeutic antidepressant in vitro and in vivo pharmacological binding profiles in rodent brain and cells expressing human serotonin transporter (hSERT). Twelve 2′-alkyl-6-nitroquipazine ligands potently bind in sub-nanomolar concentrations to the pre-synaptic SERT binding site where established antidepressant drugs bind and inhibit the re-uptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). In vivo tracer studies in rats as well as monkey PET scan trial have demonstrated the fluorine-18 and carbon-11 positron radionuclide labeled tracers perform as quantitative tracers of specific binding the SERT protein in live brain.

Abstract

A Method of reducing the occurrence of brain cell damage or death caused by transient cerebral hypoxia/ischemia condition or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) event. The method typically comprises identifying a subject with a transient cerebral hypoxic and/or ischemic condition, or a TBI, and within 24 hours of onset of the condition, administering to the subject a continuous intravenous infusion dose of methamphetamine in an amount sufficient to reduce the occurrence of brain cell damage or death caused by the condition. Preferably, in addition to the continuous intravenous infusion dose, a bolus dose of methamphetamine is administered to the subject as soon as possible after onset of the condition or occurrence of the TBI event.

Abstract

Therapeutic tools and methods useful in treating a subject having brain seizures. The methods comprise the step of increasing expression of excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3) in GABAergic neurons located in the brain of the subject sufficiently to reduce the severity, frequency, and/or duration of the brain seizures. The therapeutic tools include recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV) comprises AAV 5' and 3' ITRs flanking a human excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3) gene which is operatively linked to a promoter suitable for expression of the EAAT3 in GABAergic neurons of the hippocampus.

Abstract

Hydroxypolyamides, hydroxypolyamide products, and post-hydroxypolyamides are disclosed as gel forming agents. Hydroxypolyamides and post-hydroxypolyamides are prepared from known methods. Hydroxypolyamide products are produced from a modified polymerization procedure which utilizes strong base for deprotonation of ammonium salts from the esterification of stoichiometrically equivalent polyacid:polyamine salts. The hydroxypolyamide products are capable of gel formation at lower concentrations than hydroxypolyamides and post-hydroxypolyamides from the known methods of preparation, and are therefore superior gel forming agents.

Abstract

A controlled nitric acid process employing oxygen and nitric acid as co-oxidants is used to oxidize organic compounds subject to nitric acid oxidation, to their corresponding carboxylic acids. Oxidation of some carbohydrates by this process can produce one or more of their corresponding acid forms. The process is carried out at moderate temperatures, typically in the range of 20°C to 45 °C in a closed reactor, with oxygen gas being introduced into the reaction chamber as needed in order to sustain the reaction. Computer controlled reactors allow for careful and reproducible control of reaction parameters. Nitric acid can be recovered by a distillation / evaporation process, or by diffusion dialysis, the aqueous solution made basic with inorganic hydroxide, and the residual inorganic nitrate removed using a filtration (nanofiltration) device. The method eliminates issues of thermal control of the oxidation, release of nitrogen into the atmosphere, and post-reaction difficulties in the removal of nitric acid and inorganic nitrates.

Abstract

A titration method uses a tracer in the titrant or titrand to quantify the amount of titrant added. The method does not require quantitative addition of titrant or sample. The tracer can be inert or can participate as an indicator of the titrant- analyte reaction. The tracer concentration is quantified by an appropriate method depending upon the type of tracer and analytical performance desired (e.g. precision, accuracy). The method simplifies titrations because it eliminates the need for a precision dispensing device and analytical balance.
