20150149240 | IDENTIFYING CONTROL IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR KEY PROCESSES - Embodiments of the invention are directed to apparatus, methods, and computer program products for identifying process control gaps and process control improvement opportunities in a financial institution. The present invention leverages both Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), specifically implementation of a risk priority number/score and Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) examination guidelines, specifically completion of a process control guidance checklist to result in a process control status score. As a result of the integration of FMEA and FFIEC examination guidelines, a resulting risk-based process health score is implemented to identify the risk of lack of process controls or gaps in existing process controls. As a result, actions may be taken to mitigate the risk and/or provide the requisite process controls. | 05-28-2015 |

20120095060 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS OF MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE (MAPK) PATHWAY INHIBITORS FOR TREATING PULMONARY FIBROSIS - Methods and compositions of inhibitors of MAPK kinases 1 and 2 (MEK1 and MEK2, or together, MEK1/2), such as ARRY142886, and their use in inhibiting MEK1/2 kinase activity in mammals for the treatment and/or reversal of the symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis. MEK1/2 inhibitors can selectively inhibit the MAPK/ERK pathway in vivo and prevent TGF-α mediated fibrosis. There are several distinct MAPK pathways that are important in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, development, inflammation, survival, and migration. The Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway (a key component of the MAPK pathway) via inhibition of MEK1/2 is an attractive strategy for therapeutic intervention in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, because inhibition of MEK1/2 has the potential to block inappropriate signal transduction leading to pulmonary fibrosis, regardless of the upstream position of the aberration causing it. | 04-19-2012 |
