The applicants discovered that MEK inhibitors produce unwanted visual disturbances as an adverse side effect in a significant fraction of cancer patients being treated by the drug, and that the side effect causes retinal detachment due to fluid accumulation in the eye. The method treats the retinal detachment caused by the anticancer therapeutic by providing a means of decreasing the amount of fluid present in the retina and/or subretinal space of the eye by administering the pharmaceutical composition comprising IFNγ to the basolateral side of the retinal pigment epithelium, preferably by administering the pharmaceutical composition to the anterior surface of the eye in liquid droplets. | 09-24-2015 |
20150368713 | METHOD FOR GENERATING RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM (RPE) CELLS FROM INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS (IPSCs) - High efficiency methods for producing retinal pigment epithelial cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are disclosed herein. The iPSCs are produced from somatic cells, including retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, such as fetal RPE stem cells. In some embodiments, the iPSC include a tyrosinase promoter operably linked to a marker. Methods are disclosed for using the RPE cells, such as for treatment. Methods for screening for agents that affect RPE differentiation are also disclosed. | 12-24-2015 |

20130003567 | PARALLEL PROCESSING FOR MULTIPLE INSTANCE REAL-TIME MONITORING - Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing network traffic data to generate complex statistics associated with the network traffic in real-time through parallel processing and data pipelining. In one implementation, a system includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to generate a plurality of program instances, wherein a first program instance observes the network traffic and uses a plurality of execution threads to distribute portions of the network traffic to additional program instances tasked with generating statistics associated with the network traffic. In other embodiments, a plurality of additional execution threads to the first program instance are tasked with generating the statistics. In either case, the generated statistics are placed into a data pipeline organized into time intervals of generated statistics, wherein the computation of higher-order statistics are computed as the lower-order time intervals are processed. | 01-03-2013 |
20130024527 | HIERARCHICAL PUBLISH/SUBSCRIBE SYSTEM - A method for publishing a publication message includes receiving, at one of a plurality of first relays, a subscription request from a first client and transmitting the subscription request from the one of the plurality of first relays to first and second central relays of a plurality of central relays. The method also includes receiving, at another of the plurality of first relays, a publication request from a second client. The publication request includes the publication message. The method further includes transmitting the publication message from the another of the plurality of first relays to all of the plurality of central relays, transmitting the publication message from at least one of the first and second central relays to the one of the plurality of first relays, and transmitting the publication message from the one of the plurality of first relays to the first client. | 01-24-2013 |
