Abstract: A temperature monitoring system for accurate and real-time temperature monitoring may be employed at a conduit and/or a temperature control element. The conduit is configured to transport a fluid along the length of the conduit, and the conduit may comprise a variety of conduit structures having numerous cross-sections, shapes, orientation, geometry, operating conditions, operation functions, etc. The temperature control element operatively coupled to the conduit may be utilized to control the temperature of the fluid within the conduit. Typically, the temperature control element is configured to heat or cool the fluid within the conduit. The temperature monitoring system may further comprise one or more temperature sensors, such as distributed temperature sensor(s) or discrete temperature sensor(s), operatively coupled to the conduit and/or the temperature control element.

Abstract: The application describes treatment of hepatic encephalopathy using gastrointestinal specific antibiotics. One example of a gastrointestinal specific antibiotic is rifaximin. The instant application also provides methods for determining if a subject has a neurological condition or hepatic encephalopathy by determining the critical flicker frequency and/or the venous ammonia level of the subject at two or more time points. The invention further provides methods for treating these subjects.

Abstract: Use of a composition for the prevention, amelioration and/or treatment of a condition associated with cell or tissue senescence and/or inflammation and/or autophagy, the composition comprising an active ingredient taltirelin or an analogue thereof.

Abstract: An adjustable, customizable, and configurable heat transfer element is structured for facilitating hear transfer in pipe systems having process pipes. The heat transfer element is configured for transferring heat between a process pipe and a corresponding tracer tube in order to maintain a fluid within the process pipe within a predetermined temperature range. In this regard, the heat transfer element may comprise a body having a nested portion that forms a cavity therein, each extending in a longitudinal direction. The body is configured for operative coupling to the process pipe. The cavity of the nested portion is configured to receive a tracer tube therein such that the tracer tube is positioned in between, and at least partially surrounded by the body and the process pipe. Moreover, the body may comprise a spine that is utilized to aid in bending the heat transfer element in one or more planes.
