20110257891THERAPY PREDICTION AND OPTIMIZATION FOR RENAL FAILURE BLOOD THERAPY, ESPECIALLY HOME HEMODIALYSIS - A method of predicting serum phosphorus concentrations in a patient during hemodialysis includes measuring serum phosphorus concentrations of the patient over a hemodialysis treatment session time and an ultrafiltration rate calculated by a difference between pre- and post-dialytic body weight of the patient during an initial hemodialysis treatment session divided by a total treatment time of the treatment session and estimating a phosphorous mobilization clearance and a pre-dialysis distribution volume of phosphorus for the patient. Serum phosphorus concentrations of the patient can then be predicted at any time during any hemodialysis treatment session with the estimated phosphorous mobilization clearance and pre-dialysis distribution volume of phosphorus of the patient.10-20-2011

20080248344Ceramic Microreactor Built from Layers and Having at Least 3 Interior Spaces as Well as Buffers - A ceramic microreactor for carrying out reactions having a large heat of reaction which has at least three interior spaces, with at least one interior space having internal buffers whose shape, number and positioning ensure homogeneous flow, is described. The microreactor is built up as a monolith from at least seven plate-shaped layers of inert ceramic material, preferably aluminium oxide, which form an upper heating/cooling space, a central reaction space and a lower heating/cooling space. One interior space has a coating of a catalyst comprising noble metal. The shape, number and positioning of the internal buffers is determined by means of flow simulation calculations; the internal buffers preferably have a lozenge shape. The microreactor displays very good selectivity in reactions having a large heat of reaction, in particular in heterogeneous gas-phase reactions, and is used in particular for hydrogen production and/or hydrogen purification in fuel cell technology.10-09-2008

20090325222Tissue Sample Preparation and MALDI MS Imaging Thereof - Aspects of the present invention relate to a method for the preparation of samples for MALDI MS imaging. Certain embodiments relate to a method of matrix deposition for samples, wherein tissue sections are prepared via a synergistic combination of fixation with matrix. In certain embodiments, tissue is fixed with cold solvent, according to well-established histology protocols, and in the presence of matrix, allowing for high resolution spatial mapping of protein, lipid, sugar, and/or nucleic acid distribution. In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to fixation with matrix of whole organisms. In certain embodiments, animals are perfused with fixation and matrix mixtures, which allows for direct mass spectrometry analysis.12-31-2009
20100152125Compositions And Methods For The Diagnosis, Treatment, And Prevention Of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis And Related Neurological Diseases - One aspect of the invention relates to a method of treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease, comprising the step of administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of the formation of advanced glycation end products. Another aspect of the invention relates to a proteasome activity-based screening assay to select compounds which may be useful for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease, and the materials used therein. Yet another aspect of the invention relates to molecules, and methods of use thereof, which bind at or adjacent to SOD-I Trp32, including molecules that bind in a site adjacent to SOD-I Trp32 whether or not it is oxidized, for treating or preventing neurodegenerative disease.06-17-2010
