    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and related methods for adjusting the pitch of a string on a stringed instrument. In one embodiment, the disclosed devices enable a musician to adjust the tautness and, accordingly, the pitch of individual strings of a stringed instrument by simply pushing a lever or rotating a threaded piston or on or adjacent to the bridge of the guitar. The disclosed devices can preferably be outfitted on electric or acoustic stringed instruments, including guitars. The more specific aspects of the preferred embodiments are discussed in greater detail with reference to the figures.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for identifying unknown drug targets via adverse event data. An analyzer receives an identification of a first drug having one or more unknown target proteins and identifies a second drug related to the first drug. The analyzer retrieves, from an adverse event database, a first side effect profile associated with the first drug, and a second side effect profile associated with the second drug. The analyzer generates a third side effect profile including a subset of the first side effect profile not shared by the second side effect profile, and identifies a third drug having a fourth side effect profile including the third side effect profile. The analyzer retrieves a list of one or more target proteins of the third drug not targeted by the second drug, and presents the retrieved list as potential target proteins of the first drug.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a synthetic immunogen represented by the general formula 1, useful for generating long lasting protective immunity against various intracellular pathogens which are the causative agents of tuberculosis, leishmaniasis, AIDS, trypanosomiasis, malaria and also allergy, cancer and a process for the preparation thereof. The developed immunogen is able to circumvent HLA restriction in humans and livestock. The invention further relates to a vaccine comprising the said immunogen for generating enduring protective immunity against various diseases. The said vaccine is targeted against intracellular pathogens, more particularly the pathogen M. tuberculosis in this case. In the present invention, promiscuous peptides of M. tuberculosis are conjugated to TLR ligands especially; Pam2Cys to target them mainly to dendritic cells and therefore elicit long-lasting protective immunity. (The formula (I) should be inserted here) General formula (I) wherein, X1=a promiscuous CD4 T helper epitope selected from SEQ ID No. 1 to 98 OR nil; X2=a promiscuous CD8 T cytotoxic epitope selected from SEQ ID No. 99 to 103 OR nil; when X1=nil; X2=SEQ ID No. 99 to 103 and when X2=nil; X1=SEQ ID No. 1 to 98; Y=Lysine; and S=Serine.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for predicting a likely side effect profile for even new, untested medications. A predicted side effect profile may be generated based on intersections of side effect profiles of other medications that affect the same or related molecular entities, such as the nearby target proteins, involve the same pathways, or are otherwise similarly related. To generate a predicted side effect profile for a new drug targeting a novel or previously un-targeted protein target, an analyzer may query an adverse event database for records pertaining to patients who have taken drugs or combinations of drugs that target or affect molecular entities in the vicinity of the novel target within a global molecular entity graph, and, in some embodiments, may retrieve a plurality of adverse event records and generate an intersection of side effects associated with related targets to predict likely side effects for the novel target.
