Abstract: The present technology relates to methods and systems for the removal of pathogens and fragments thereof in hemodialysis patients. In particular, methods and systems are described where lectins can be used to remove the Hepatitis C virus and fragments thereof in hemodialysis patients, and to provide a sustained reduction in viral load.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for using lectins that bind to pathogens having surface glycoproteins or fragments thereof which contain glycoproteins, to remove them from infected blood or plasma or other fluids in an extracorporeal setting. Accordingly, the present invention provides a methods and devices for reducing viral load or plaque forming units in blood or plasma from one or more infected individuals. A preferred embodiment of the method comprises passing the blood or plasma through a porous hollow fiber membrane wherein lectin molecules are disposed proximate to the membrane, collecting pass-through blood or plasma and optionally reinfusing the pass-through blood or plasma into the individual. Additionally, the present invention provides a methods and devices for the reduction of plaque forming units, cleared more rapidly and more efficiently than overall viral load.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to enhanced antiviral therapy methods, devices, and kits for treating viral infections. The disclosed enhanced antiviral therapy methods, devices, and kits enhance the efficacy of an antiviral therapy by administering a lectin affinity hemodialysis treatment to an individual suffering from viral infection in combination with the antiviral therapy.

Abstract: A method of providing pre-authorized communication services and/or transactions via a plurality of networks, including accepting and processing a request from a user to provide at least one of a communication service, a transaction and user account information via a plurality of networks of different types, verifying that the user is authorized to receive the at least one of the communication service, the transaction, and the user account information, and that an account associated with the user has a sufficient amount currently available for payment of the at least one of the communication service and the transaction and charging, in real time, an authorized account associated with the user as the at least one of the communication service and the transaction is provided.

Abstract: A rule set is used to determine at least one rule for authorizing a transaction debiting an account of an authorized user. Subsequently, the account is debited, according to the at least one rule, in real time if the transaction is authorized. The real time debit is settled with transaction providers in accordance with at least one settlement rule. If it is determined that the authorized user does not have sufficient funds in an authorized user account to debit for the transaction, the authorized user account may be recharged by a recharge routine that includes determining a recharge user account to transfer funds from and authorizing the transfer by at least one of referring to a pre-authorized transfer and requesting authorization from the authorized user. The transaction may be requested and the transaction providers may be connected via heterogeneous networks.
