Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention encompass a remote data sharing system that can support connectivity between any JDBC-compliant data source and any Java-compatible remote client, which system can be implemented without programming. The system can comprise at least one JDBC-compliant data source, a gateway running inside a Java-compliant web container, and a plurality of remote clients. The system allows for platform-independent data sharing.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and drug formulations comprising a drug capable of conforming to a pharmacokinetic profile when administered to a patient's systemic circulation. The pharmacokinetic profile provides a pharmacodynamic profile having an optimal onset of effect, optimal duration of effect, and an optimal rate of offset of effect. The drug formulation has a carrier for administering the drug that provides user control over the rate of absorption in order to maintain the optimal pharmacokinetic profile and the optimal pharmacodynamic profile.

Abstract: A non-opposed surgical reduction clamp 10 is provided which has a drill guide 40 integrally formed with a guide leg 20 of the reduction clamp 10. The reduction clamp 10 also includes a reference leg 50 pivotably connected to the guide leg 20 through a pivot 70. The reference leg 50 includes a sharpened tip 57 at a tip thereof which can penetrate into a surface of a bone somewhat to prevent slippage of the reference leg 50. The drill guide 40 has an inner cylindrical surface 44 to provide an alignment axis Z for location of bone fixation structures, such as K-wire, pins or screws for reattachment and fixation of fractured bone fragments. Alignment axis Z of the drill guide 40 is in a common plane with the sharpened tip 57 of the reference leg 50, but extends beyond the sharpened tip 57 of the reference leg 50.
