Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless device may perform packet detection or energy detection on a primary channel using a first packet detector. The wireless device may perform packet detection or energy detection on a first non-primary channel using a second packet detector. The wireless device may transmit a packet on the first non-primary channel based on packet detection for the primary channel or packet detection for the first non-primary channel. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods for predicting flare in subjects with autoimmune disease (e.g., lupus erythematosus). In some embodiments, pending flares may be reduced in severity and/or prevented from clinical manifestation in their entirety using provided methods. In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods for preventing or reducing the severity of a flare including the steps of determining in a sample from a subject suffering from lupus erythematosus a complement activation potential, administering a treatment or implementing a change in treatment if the complement activation potential is about 25% or higher, wherein a complement activation potential of about 25% or higher indicates that the subject will experience a flare within 30 days.
