ABSTRACT Traditional mon therapeutictarget driven approaches to drug development for Alzheimer s diseaseADare becoming increasingly expensive and in many cases disappointingly unsuccessfulBased on preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies we have identified a novel small moleculemethyldimethyloxodihydrobenzo cnaphthyridinecarboxylateBNCthat significantly decreases neuroinflammation and production o ...

In many DoD intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) scenarios, the data streams not only have a high dimensionality, but also belong to different sensing modalities. Current ISR surveillance typically employs stove-piped exploitation systems. Based on a single sensing modality, a stove-piped system senses, captures, and processes only one kind of target signal or signature. IFT propos ...

VIGILANT DIAGNOSTICS NIAID NIH STTR Phase I Application Vastly improved influenza diagnostics through the development of a portable thermal contrast reader PROJECT SUMMARY ABSTRACT Despite recent advances in rapid influenza diagnostic tests false negatives stemming from poor sensitivity contribute to nosocomial transmission and prevent thousands from receiving appropriate antiviral treatment A ...

Measurement of coordination and performance in team training environments is essential for accurately evaluating training effectiveness and progress. Coordination and performance are tightly coupled. As coordination improves, team performance improves. As command and control systems become larger and more complex, measurement of performance and coordination becomes increasingly difficult. This Pha ...

The team of Boston Fusion Corp., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Syracuse University proposes Phase II of UMIMMI: Universal Multivariate Information Measures for Multisensor Inference, a research program that studies multivariate information measures and uses these to construct optimal, universal algorithms and to lay a framework for general multivariate reasoning. We can then appl ...

Prostate cancer PCa is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men with deaths and new cases estimated in the US in Radiation therapy is one of the standard therapies for high and intermediate risk patients and is a non surgical therapy option for low risk patients A combined chemo radiation therapy CRT approach has been shown in several trials to improve s ...

The broader impact commercial potential of PathoVax s STTR phase I proposal is to improve outcomes of cancer immuno therapy utilizing a vaccine formulation combining an immunogenic chimeric virus like particle cVLP vaccine with FDA approved immune check point inhibitors PathoVax proposes to develop this technology for treatment of human papillomavirus HPV associated cancers However cancer ...

Summary In recent years opioid use disorder OUD and deaths due to opiate overdose e g with heroin fentanyl oxycodone in suburban and rural non minority groups has created an urgency for approaches to stem this epidemic but the rise in OUD and opiate overdose deaths has occurred in inner cities at similar rates Heroin misuse and addiction are persistent problems in African American commu ...
