    Abstract: A novel peptide sequence that is a modified derivative of a neuron-specific tyrosine phosphatase is shown and described. Specifically, the novel peptide sequence is a modified derivative of striatal-enriched tyrosine phosphatase (STEP). The peptide sequence has been modified so as to be able to ameliorate and treat brain injury resulting from excessive glutamate release and/or oxidative stress. Examples of the types of brain injury which the presently disclosed peptide sequence is useful for treating includes acute brain injury resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury and chronic disorders such as Huntington's chorea and schizophrenia. Furthermore, the presently described peptide sequence may further be useful in the treatment and amelioration of disorders associated with fear memory such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Abstract: A mechanical patient-controlled analgesia device for injecting medicine into a patient's IV, includes an IV reservoir and a syringe communicated to the IV reservoir and having a syringe plunger. A mechanical biasing element is provided for exerting bias on the syringe plunger in a first syringe-filling direction to draw medicine from the IV reservoir into the syringe. An injection plunger is operable by the patient to move the syringe plunger in a second injection direction against the bias to inject the medicine in the syringe into a patient's IV. The injection plunger is movable independently of the syringe plunger and is engaged with but unconnected to the syringe plunger when the patient moves the injection plunger to inject the medicine. The patient can inject only a calibrated amount of medicine drawn into the syringe as determined by calibration of the biasing element and a metering element for a given viscosity of the medication.

    Abstract: This invention relates to novel cancer treatment compositions and associated therapeutic methods. More particularly, this invention relates in part to small chemical bifunctional inhibitors of DNA replication and repair proteins Metnase and/or Intnase (also termed Gypsy Integrase, Gypsy Integrease-1, Gypsy Retransposon Integrase 1, or GIN-I) that simultaneously damage DNA, and to a therapeutic method that utilizes the inhibitors to increase the effectiveness of cancer treatment protocols, including radiation therapy. In preferred embodiments, compounds, compositions and methods of treatment of the invention are used to treat a patient suffering from leukemia (e.g. acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and related cancers. In certain aspects of such treatments, compounds, compositions and methods of treatment of the invention are administered as a monotherapy (in some cases, to patients who have exhibited resistance to Topo IIalpha inhibitors such as VP-16), or are co-administered with a Topo IIalpha inhibitor or other anti-cancer agents as otherwise described herein or in combination with radiation therapy.

    Abstract: Magnetic susceptibility is the physical property for T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T2*MRI). The invention relates to methods for reconstructing an internal distribution (3D map) of magnetic susceptibility values, χ (x,y,z), of an object, from 3D T2*MRI phase images, by using Computed Inverse Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CIMRI) tomography. The CIMRI technique solves the inverse problem of the 3D convolution by executing a 3D Total Variation (TV) regularized iterative convolution scheme, using a split Bregman iteration algorithm. The reconstruction of χ (x,y,z) can be designed for low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass features by using a convolution kernel that is modified from the standard dipole kernel. Multiple reconstructions can be implemented in parallel, and averaging the reconstructions can suppress noise. 4D dynamic magnetic susceptibility tomography can be implemented by reconstructing a 3D susceptibility volume from a 3D phase volume by performing 3D CIMRI magnetic susceptibility tomography at each snapshot time.
