Abstract: A device for detection of a cannabinoid in a sample includes a sensor including a substrate and a sensor medium on the substrate. The sensor medium includes at least one nanostructure, wherein at least one property of the sensor medium is dependent upon the presence of the cannabinoid on a surface of the sensor medium. The device further includes electronic circuitry including at least one measurement system in operative connection with the sensor to measure a variable relatable to the at least one property of the sensor medium dependent upon the presence of the cannabinoid.

Abstract: A method of determining an extent of visual spatial neglect of a patient includes providing a software-based test to the patient via a presentation apparatus positioned on the head of the patient and having a display device positioned close and in front of the eyes of the patient. EEG information is collected from the patient during the test via an EEG apparatus positioned on the head of the patient. Portions of the EEG information collected during the test are used to determine the extent of the visual spatial neglect of the patient. An indication of the extent of the visual spatial neglect of the patient is provided.

Abstract: Recombinant C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL) peptides modified to introduce a cleavage site for a protease, such as a protease activated during an inflammatory response, are described. The CXCL peptides have the capacity to activate CXCR3 until being cleaved by the protease. Proteolytic cleavage of the CXCL peptide minimizes the pro-inflammatory response and inhibits the development of fibrosis.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are endotracheal tubes that have multiple inflatable cuffs to help form a seal for ventilation, to reduce unwanted migration of the tube relative to the patient, reduce focalized pressure from a single cuff, and to help prevent aspiration of materials between the outside of the tube and the tracheal walls. Some devices include first and second distal cuffs for placement within the trachea and a proximal third cuff for blocking the entrance to the trachea. The cuffs can include ridges or textures to enhance sealing. The device can also include inflation channels, vacuum channels, and pressure sensors.
