    Abstract: Some of the present apparatuses include a flexible vascular graft defining a lumen and a hub having a distal end con figured to penetrate a blood vessel, a proximal end, and a wall extending between the distal end and the proximal end that defines an interior passageway. In some apparatuses, the vascular graft is non-removably coupled to the hub, and the lumen of the vascular graft is in communication with the interior passageway of the hub. Some apparatuses include one or more helical protrusions fixed in relation to the wall and configured to secure the hub relative to the blood vessel, each of the one or more helical protrusions extending away from the interior passageway. In some apparatuses, the wall has an outer surface defining an annular recess that extends around the wall, the recess configured to receive at least a portion of a wall of the blood vessel.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving an incoming call at a first device. The method includes determining whether second caller identification information is available at the first device based on first caller identification information received with the incoming call. The method further includes retrieving the second caller identification information in response to determining that the second caller identification information is available at the first device. The method further includes presenting a graphical display at a display device. The graphical display includes a plurality of caller information fields. The plurality of caller information fields are populated based on the first caller identification information and based on the second caller identification information. The graphical display also includes a user selectable edit option to edit the second caller identification information during the incoming call. The method further includes modifying the second caller identification information in response to selection of the user selectable edit option.

    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for inhibiting interleukin-3 receptor-expressing cells, and, in particular, inhibiting the growth of such cells by using a diphtheria toxin-human interleukin-3 conjugate (DT-IL3) that is toxic to cells expressing the interleukin-3 receptor. In preferred embodiments, the DT-IL3 conjugate is a fusion protein comprising amino acids 1-388 of diphtheria toxin fused via a peptide linker to full-length, human interleukin-3. In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention relate to the administration of a DT-IL3 conjugate to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and/or cancer stem cells in humans, which cells express one or more subunits of the interleukin-3 receptor. Exemplary cells include myeloid leukemia cancer stem cells. In other embodiments, the methods of the present invention relate to ex vivo purging of bone marrow or peripheral blood to remove cells that express one or more subunits of the interleukin-3 receptor such that the purged bone marrow or peripheral blood is suitable, e.g., for autologous stem cell transplantation to restore hematopoietic function.
