Project Abstract/Summary Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency (PDCD) is a rare disease of mitochondrial energy failure in which the life expectancy of affected children is severely truncated from unrelenting lactic acidosis and/or from progressive neurological and neuromuscular degeneration. Treatment of PDCD remains a serious, unmet, challenge. Dichloroacetate (DCA) represents the firs ...

Abstract This application, “Development of novel small molecule analgesics modulating the nNOS-NOS1AP protein- protein interaction,” addresses the critical need for more effective medications to treat chronic neuropathic pain affecting ~116 million people in the United States. Current pain medications such as NSAIDS, steroids, opiates and gabapentin analogs have documented and often severe sid ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Background Each year in the US there are over Million Blood Cultures performed to determine the presence absence of viable microorganisms in the blood of patients suspected of having Blood Steam Infection BSI or Septicemia Current technology for Blood Cultures typically takes days to provide a result Our proposed system would enable the user to obt ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Techshot, Inc. has successfully completed SBIR Phase I and Phase II research demonstrating that magnetically labeled porcine islets of Langerhans can be isolated from contaminating exocrine tissue by flow sorting usinga quadrupole magnetic separator ( Quadrasep ) designed for that purpose. Magnetically sorted islets are superior in morphology and physiology to ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this Phase II SBIR application is to test NTX-1 fiber in patients with constipation-predominant IBS (IBS-C) and determine if it can reduce symptoms, beneficially modify gut microbiota composition, and improve gut milieu in these patients. Our hypothesis for the Phase II study is that NTX-1 fiber is better tolerated (i.e. has less side effects) ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Phase II work proposed here involves the high-throughput proteome profiling of molecules associated with cardiovascular disease. Comparative profiling of disease-relevant species will lead to a marketable product - the PPM Cardiovascular Health and Wellness Report. Molecular profiling is accomplished using novel IMS-MS instrumentation and a three-minute an ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease affecting premature infants. Approximately 10% of infants born under 1500 g will develop the disease, and mortality for affected infants is 20-30%. Despite decades of research, the morbidity and mortality of the disease remain generally unchanged. Current treatment and preventive approaches for NEC remain suboptimal, with no ...
