Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of treating agitation or the signs of agitation in a subject comprising the sublingual administration of an effective amount of an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, more particularly Dexmedetomidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The method is particularly suitable for the treatment of agitation associated with neurodegenerative and/or neuropsychiatric diseases. The present invention also discloses the sublingual administration of an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, more particularly Dexmedetomidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose that is effective to treat agitation or the signs of agitation in a subject, but does not cause significant sedation.

Abstract: There is provided a composition suitable for oral transmucosal administration (sublingual) comprising dexmedetomidine. The composition is useful for the treatment of sleep disorders such as insomnia and capable of providing sleep on demand. The composition comprises an effective amount of dexmedetomidine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, solvates thereof, or derivatives thereof, formulated for delivery of dexmedetomidine across a subject's oral mucosa.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that effectively manage sockets in client-to-server connections at the application level to enhance the availability of sockets by timely closing idle sockets. This reduces the role of the TCP-level management to a single listen thread on a listen socket. Connected sockets are placed into the application's socket pool that is managed by a configurable number of worker threads. The proposed methods and systems are intended to prevent a situation where many connections are opened, thereby using all the network memory on the machine.
