Abstract: The invention generally relates to dextran fibers which are preferably electrospun and devices formed from such fibers. In particular, such devices may include substances of interest (such as therapeutic substances) associated with the electrospun fibers. Upon exposure to a liquid the electrospun fibers dissolve immediately and the substances of interest are released into the liquid. Exemplary devices include bandages formed from electrospun dextran fibers and associated agents that promote hemostasis, such as thrombin and fibrinogen.

Also described are proteins, referred to as anti-gp350 antibody probes, and anti-gp350 B-cell probes, that maintain the epitope structure of the CR2-binding region of gp350, but do not bind CR2.

Abstract: Methods and kits to assess an absorbed dose of ionizing radiation and/or the severity of tissue injury from radiation in a patient. Also, algorithms used to calculate an absorbed dose of radiation based on biomarker measurements of a plurality of biomarkers that are altered relative to a normal control in the event of radiation exposure.

Abstract: Antibodies and compositions of matter useful for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection in mammals, and methods of using those compositions of matter for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of EBV infection are described. Also described are proteins, referred to as anti-gp350 antibody probes, and anti-gp350 B-cell probes, that maintain the epitope structure of the CR2-binding region of gp350, but do not bind CR2.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides gene expression profiles that are associated with prostate cancer, including certain gene expression profiles that differentiate between subjects of African and Caucasian descent and other gene expression profiles that are common to subjects of both African and Caucasian descent. The gene expression profiles can be measured at the nucleic acid or protein level and used to stratify prostate cancer based on ethnicity. The gene expression profiles can also be used to identify a subject for prostate cancer treatment. Also provided are kits for diagnosing and prognosing prostate cancer and an array comprising probes for detecting the unique gene expression profiles associated with prostate cancer in subjects of African and/or Caucasian descent.

Abstract: The invention described herein provides antibodies to Zika virus. The novel polypeptides are useful alone or as portions of larger molecules, such as antibodies or antibody fragments, that can be used to treat or prevent infection of Zika virus.

Abstract: Antiviral drugs targeting the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike receptor binding domain (RBD) and methods of treating a subject suffering from coronavirus.

Abstract: Featured are methods, apparatus and devices for detecting a hematoma in tissue of a patient. In one aspect, such a method includes emitting near infrared light continuously into the tissue from a non-stationary near infrared light emitter and continuously monitoring the tissue using a non-stationary probe so as to continuously detect reflected light. The near infrared light is emitted at two distances from a brain of the patient, so the emitted light penetrates to two different depths. Such a method also includes applying a ratiometric analysis to the reflected light to distinguish a border between normal tissue and tissue exhibiting blood accumulation.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of vaccines and binding molecules, as well as preparations and methods of their use in the treatment and/or prevention of disease. Described are vaccines and binding molecules, compositions containing the same, and uses thereof for treating or preventing coronavirus infections, in particular, ?-coronaviruses such as SARS- CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, as well as SARS-CoV-1 and other coronaviruses.

Abstract: In aspects, the disclosure provides a method of differentiating a malignant tumor from a non-malignant tumor in a mammal having a tumor comprising determining in a sample from the mammal the level of one or more of: (1) transthyretin (TTR) RNA or protein, (2) dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2) RNA or protein, and (3) G-protein coupled receptor 179 (GPR179) RNA or protein.

Abstract: Described are methods of treating or reducing the toxic effects of exposure to a nerve agent, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof (i) an AMPA/GluR5(GluK1) kainate receptor antagonist (such as LY293558) and (ii) an NMD A receptor antagonist (such as an antimuscarinic compound, such as caramiphen), as well as methods of treating, reducing the risks of, or preventing a neurological condition such as epilepsy, seizures, post-traumatic stress disorder, status epilepticus, depression, or anxiety, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof (i) an AMPA/GluR5(GluK1) kainate receptor antagonist (such as LY293558) and (ii) an NMDA receptor antagonist (such as an antimuscarinic compound, such as caramiphen). The methods may further comprise administering a positive allosteric modulator of synaptic GABAA receptors, such as a benzodiazepine, such as midazolam, to the subject. The methods are suitable for use in children and adults. Related compositions and uses also are described.

Abstract: Diffusion sensitizing gradient pulse pairs are prescribed in a manner to mitigate effects of concomitant gradient artifacts. Measured MR signals generated by applying a plurality of diffusion sensitizing gradient matrices are obtained and processed to determine a second order mean diffusion tensor and a fourth order covariance tensor. Quantities derived from these tensors are measured and mapped within an imaging volume which describe features of diffusion anisotropy and heterogeneity within each imaging voxel.
