Abstract: An essentially carbohydrate-free, protein-based flour substitute and methods for preparing the same are disclosed herein. The flour substitute may be used to make pizza crusts, chips, taco shells, tortillas, crackers, sandwich thins, and other food products that are traditionally flour-based. The organoleptic properties of the disclosed flour substitute preferably resemble the organoleptic properties of traditional baked goods and are substantially different from the organoleptic properties of traditional meat products. The disclosed flour substitute comprises a meat or nut flour, a flavor-masking spice, salt, and a vegetable, fruit, or plant-based oil or an oil-based spray. The disclosed flour substitute is used to make substitute food products that preferably resemble, in both appearance and taste, the traditional food products that the substitute food products are replacing. The flour substitute is preferably fiber-free and does not contain any other non-digestible carbohydrates.

Abstract: A respiratory assistance apparatus has a gases inlet configured to receive a supply of gases, a blower unit configured to generate a pressurised gases stream from the supply of gases; a humidification unit configured to heat and humidify the pressurised gases stream; and a gases outlet for the heated and humidified gases stream. A flow path for the gases stream extends through the respiratory device from the gases inlet through the blower unit and humidification unit to the gases outlet. A sensor assembly is provided in the flow path before the humidification unit. The sensor assembly has an ultrasound gas composition sensor system for sensing one or more gas concentrations within the gases stream.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods for treating pancreatic cancer. A method of treating pancreatic cancer includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition including a neoantigen vaccine including at least one pancreatic cancer-associated neoantigen and at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor. The methods and compositions of the present disclosure are particularly useful for inducing a neoantigen-specific CD4 or CD8 T cell response against a tumor.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating cancers such as pancreatic cancer and synovial sarcoma are disclosed. Compounds comprising a sigma-2 receptor-binding moiety and a ferroptosis-inducing moiety are described. At least one described molecular species exhibits an IC50 value below 5 ?M against human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro. Administration of this species promoted shrinkage of pancreatic cancer tumors in a murine model system in vivo, and led to 100% survival of experimental animals over a time course in which control therapies provided only 30% or 40% survival. Methods of synthesis of molecular species are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating cancers such as pancreatic cancer and synovial sarcoma are disclosed. Compounds comprising a sigma-2 receptor-binding moiety and a ferroptosis-inducing moiety are described, such as the methanesulfonate salt of a compound of structural Formula IV, , wherein n is an integer chosen from 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and R2 is H or methyl. At least one described molecular species exhibits an IC50 value below 5 ?M against human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro. Administration of this species promoted shrinkage of pancreatic cancer tumors in a murine model system in vivo. It led to a 100% survival of experimental animals over a time course in which control therapies provided only 30% or 40% survival. Methods of synthesis of molecular species are also disclosed.

Abstract: An episode structure and API are disclosed for interweaving multiple game threads into gameplay experiences of virtual worlds such that players have clarity about overall story arcs and their mission purposes but find that, as they pursue those purposes, they continue to experience quests and events that teach them SEL principles that they need to learn based on their level and needs. In some aspects, successful execution or completion of SEL episodes can thwart or enable overall achievement of mission purposes and players that struggles are educated about what they did wrong through an empathy process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for producing a greeting card. The system comprises user devices and a server with a communications network which are configured for capturing handwriting as a digital image, processing the digital image to extract the handwriting, combining the processed image with one of a number of images for the greeting card, and controlling the display of the combined image on a user device or the printing of the combined image.

Abstract: A series of N-substituted 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3?-yl phenylcarbamate analogs are disclosed, as well as methods of their preparation. Their affinities for sigma (?1 and ?2) receptors are described. Two new compounds, N-(9-(4-aminobutyl)-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3?-yl)-N?-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)carbamate and N-(9-(6-aminohexyl)-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3?-yl)-N?-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)carbamate, are shown to have a high affinity and selectivity for ?2 versus ?1 receptors. Among the disclosed compounds are biotinylated and fluorescent analogs. These compounds can serve as probes to the ?2 receptor. In addition, some disclosed compounds can induce apoptotic cell death by both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent mechanisms, and are effective for treatment of tumors. The compounds can be used as chemotherapeutics or chemosensitizers in the treatment of a wide variety of solid tumors.
