Abstract:
Provided herein are a method of detecting neurological impairment and a device for testing sensorimotor control to detect neurological impairment. The method includes positioning a head-mounted display on the user's head, the head-mounted display placing the user in a virtual or augmented reality environment; presenting the subject with a software-generated object in the virtual or augmented reality environment; providing instructions directing the user to execute one or more sensorimotor activities relating to the software-generated object within the virtual or augmented reality environment; recording data during execution of the one or more objectives; and determining if there is a neurological impairment based upon the recorded data. The device includes a head-mounted display, one or more processors, and one or more hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which are executable by the one or more processors to display a virtual immersive environment in the head-mounted display.

Abstract:
Elastin-like polymers (ELP) are shown to demonstrate dynamic behavior atop silica, simillar to visco-elastic polymer dewetting. A combination of multiple factors are shown to contribute to this behavior including the hydrophilicity of the silica preventing the adsorption of ELP, the formation of a salt layer between ELP and silica, and the ability of the silica and salt layer to hold on to minute amounts of water for prolonged periods. Further, the addition of a polyethyleneimine (PEI) block to the terminal end of ELP allows the particle radius as well as LCST to be controlled by changing any combination of polymer concentration, NaCl concentration, and pH. The addition of the PEI block also provides the ability to crosslink the copolymers and achieve a stable particle radius after formation in harsh environments.

Abstract:
A method for the isolation of delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) from Cannabis plant material, wherein delta-9-THC Acid and THC are separately obtained comprising the steps of extracting the Cannabis plant material, chelating delta-9-THC acid on alumina solid support from cannabis extracts rich in the acid washing of non-acid washing of non-acid components of the extract with organic solvents and eluting of the delta-9-THC acid with strong polar solvents. MThe method also includes a process by which to increase the THC content and decrease the weight of Cannabis extracts or residue from distillation of Cannabis extracts containing a low concentration of THC, comprising treatment of such materials with watermissible organic solvents followed by filtration and evaporation of the solvent to obtain the concentrated residue.

Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for treating a patient having a fungal infection. The invention comprises administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a polyene antifungal (e.g., amphotericin B) in association with a therapeutically effective amount of a interleukin-2 inhibitor (e.g., chimeric or humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the p55 subunit of the human interleukin-2 receptor and inhibits binding of interleukin-2 to an interleukin-2 receptor).
