Abstract Depression is common, imposing a tremendous societal burden in terms of cost, morbidity, quality of life, and mortality. The great majority of people with depression are treated in primary care, however outcomes remain poor. There have been two broad attempts to address this problem. One is collaborative care, which uses care managers to coordinate patient care. Collaborative care can be ...

Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg (MARV) viruses belong to the Filoviridae family and can cause fatal hemorrhagic fevers characterized by widespread tissue destruction after an incubation period of 4-14 days. Due to safety concerns, these viruses are designated as biosafety level 4 agents. Currently, there is no effective vaccine or therapeutic treatment for filoviral infections in humans. Africa has recen ...

Project Summary/Abstract Kidney stones (KS) are highly prevalent, excruciating, and associated with long term complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD). They account for 1.3M ER visits and andgt;$10B of medical costs annually and have a striking recurrence rate of 50% in 5 years and up to 80% in 10 years, reflecting the inadequacies of current interventions. ...

Project Summary Funds are requested to apply technologies being developed in a current NIGMS award to generate recombinant antibody-like affinity reagents to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As a proof-of-principle experiment, we have already isolated four fibronectin type III (FN3) monobodies that bind with low nanomolar affinity to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the viral spike p ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Significance: Americaandapos;s health care system remains challenged by tens of billions of dollars of fraud and inefficiencies. Lost and stolen equipment cost about $4,000 per hospital bed, increasing to $8,000 when expenses incurred from out-of-place equipment are added. In addition, a 2017 report estimates $95 billion was lost to fraud, waste, abuse, and other improper payments ...

Project Summary: This application is being submitted in response to the Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) identified as NOT-CA- 20-012. The goal of this supplement is to build upon the amazing progress made in the parent Phase 1 SBIR in developing a less immunogenic asparaginase (ASNase) by adding pivotal studies that would demonstrate its reduced immunogenicity, potent anti-ALL action, and superi ...

Abstract JIVA-25 is a small footprint 25 mT preclinical oxygen imager based on the principles of electron paramagnetic resonance oxygen imaging. JIVA-25 can provide oxygen maps in tissues with 1 mm spatial resolution, 1 torr oxygen resolution, and 1-10 min temporal resolution. No other competing method can provide accurate noninvasive pO2 maps with such precision. In tumors, accurate real-time pO2 ...

PAProject Summary Abstract SERis a long acting polymer pro drug of buprenorphine that is being developed to treat postoperative pain following major surgeries such as bunionectomyabdominoplastythoracotomy and knee and hip surgerySERhas no biological activity by itselfbut when administered in vivo by subcutaneous injection it enters the vascular compartment where a plasma esterasebutyrylcholinester ...

Project Summary This Small Business Innovation Research Fast Track project aims to develop a wearable sensor system for hand hygiene compliance tracking and validate its efficacy through a pilot trial in clinical settings. Healthcare- Associated Infections (HAIs) are the most common type of complication for patients who are hospitalized. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, ...
