    摘要: The invention provides method and compositions for determining the presence and amount of an influenza virus in a sample including high risk strains of Influenza A. Also provided are methods for determining whether a subject is infected with a influenza virus, as well as, the type and strain of the influenza virus. The methods involve contacting a sample from the subject with a PDZ polypeptides (PDZ) and/or PDZ ligands (PL) and determining whether binding interactions occur between PDZ and PL. Assays for identifying anti-viral agents are also provided, as well as, methods for using the compositions to alter PDZ binding to PL in influenza infected cells.

    摘要: Alterations of certain metabolite concentrations and fluxes that occur in response to viral infection are described. Host cell enzymes in the involved metabolic pathways are selected as targets for intervention; i.e., to restore metabolic flux to disadvantage viral replication, or to further derange metabolic flux resulting in “suicide” of viral-infected cells (but not uninfected cells) in order to limit viral propagation. While any of the enzymes in the relevant metabolic pathway can be selected, pivotal enzymes at key control points in these metabolic pathways are preferred as candidate antiviral drug targets. Inhibitors of these enzymes are used to reverse, or redirect, the effects of the viral infection. Drug candidates are tested for antiviral activity using screening assays in vitro and host cells, as well as in animal models. Animal models are then used to test efficacy of candidate compounds in preventing and treating viral infections. The antiviral activity of enzyme inhibitors is demonstrated.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the delivery of caffeine through an inhalation route. Specifically, it relates to aerosols containing caffeine that are used in inhalation therapy. In a composition aspect of the present invention, the aerosol comprises particles comprising at least 5 percent by weight of caffeine. In a method aspect of the present invention, caffeine is delivered to a mammal through an inhalation route. The method comprises: a) heating a composition, wherein the composition comprises at least 5 percent by weight of caffeine, to form a vapor; and, b) allowing the vapor to cool, thereby forming a condensation aerosol comprising particles, which is inhaled by the mammal. In a kit aspect of the present invention, a kit for delivering caffeine through an inhalation route to a mammal is provided which comprises: a) a composition comprising at least 5 percent by weight of caffeine; and, b) a device that forms a caffeine containing aerosol from the composition, for inhalation by the mammal.

    摘要: The present invention provides novel methods of recording a medical event in real-time. One aspect of the invention comprises providing a subject an electronic diary for recording one or more aspects of a medical event, wherein the diary electronically records a time at which entries to the diary are made without requiring the subject to input the time of each entry and wherein the diary further prompts the subject to make an entry in the diary at various time intervals. Other aspects of the invention include methods of determining whether a medical treatment produces a therapeutic effect in a subject using real-time data; methods of measuring response of a subject experiencing panic attack symptoms to a treatment in real-time; and methods of assessing the relative effectiveness in real-time of a first medical treatment and a second medical treatment.
