    摘要: This invention relates to the treatment of diarrhea and related conditions caused by pathogenic E. coli infection. More specifically, this invention is drawn to the unexpected discovery that by administering a composition which binds and removes the shiga like toxins (SLT) produced by pathogenic E. coli whenever an antibiotic is administered, improved treatment is provided. Novel compositions containing both antibiotic and toxin binding composition and methods of treatment which use simultaneous administration toxin binding composition whenever antibiotic is administered are provided. These compositions and methods kill the enteric E. coli organisms which produce the conditions and neutralize the SLT produced by the organisms and/or released from the organisms when they are killed. Thus, these compositions and methods are better able to ameliorate the symptoms of the infection and inhibit progression of this infection into hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) than conventional treatment.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for performing staffing-based percentage-allocation routing using real-time data. According to one aspect of the present invention, transaction allocation is determined using both scheduled and actual handling resources. Actual handling resources associated with each of several transaction processing systems, such as automatic call distributors (ACDs), are measured at times t and t+n. Scheduled handling resources associated with each of the transaction processing systems for times t and t+n are also identified. Then, estimated handling resources are calculated for each of the transaction processing systems for time t+n based upon the actual handling resources and the scheduled handling resources. Finally, based upon the estimated handling resources, transaction allocations for each of the transaction processing systems are determined. According to another aspect of the present invention, a virtual call center is provided. The virtual call center includes a wide area network (WAN), multiple call centers coupled to the WAN, and an allocation controller coupled to the WAN. Each of the call centers includes a transaction processing system. The allocation controller is configured to calculate allocation sets for one or more forecast periods based upon scheduled staffing levels and actual staffing level information received from the transaction processing systems. The allocation sets include percent allocations for each of the transaction processing systems. The allocation controller is additionally configured to balance call distribution among the transaction processing systems by uploading the allocation sets to an inter-exchange carrier interface.
