Abstract: A system and method of monitoring sobriety using a hand-held breath testing device that, on receipt of a user's breath, generates a breath test signal comprising substance content data and user identification data, and wirelessly transmits the breath test signal to a breath test signal receiving station.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to an emollient topical composition of matter that contains molecular iodine with a reduced effective vapor pressure. In specific embodiments, the composition reduces the loss of molecular iodine to the atmosphere under storage conditions after application to mammalian tissue.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods of using one or more of the metabolites spermidine, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), oleoylethanolamide (OEA), and 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) to induce an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and/or immuno-modulatory effect in a subject. The compositions and methods described herein can enhance biochemical functionalities relevant to overall health and disease progression, promote longevity and healthspan, and/or delay or inhibit the cellular aging process in the subject.

Abstract: Systems, devices, compositions, and methods for treating diabetes are provided, including co-administering insulin and glucagon to a patient. Data collected from studies conducted to observe co-administration of insulin and glucagon to a patient are also provided. Optimal ratios of insulin and glucagon administration, as well as target doses for each, are also provided.

Abstract: An automated tissue section slicing, staining, and imaging system sequentially adheres tissue sections to a continuous substrate such that the staining, imaging, and interpretation of the tissue sections are readily carried out at high speed under machine control.

Abstract: Device and method for handling biological specimens. For example, the device includes a base and a substrate. The substrate includes a first surface disposed on the base and a second surface configured to support a biological specimen. A compressive element is disposed on the second surface of the substrate and surrounds the biological specimen. The compressive element includes an opening opposite the second surface of the substrate on which the compressive element is placed. The opening is configured to form a well that allows one or more reagents to be introduced into the well for chemically processing the biological specimen. The compressive element and the base cooperate to secure the compressive element to the substrate to form a seal which is configured to retain the one or more reagents in the well.

Abstract: Method and system for processing biological specimens. For example, the method includes loading a plurality of biological specimens on a continuous substrate at a plurality of spaced-apart locations on the continuous substrate, attaching a plurality of wells to the continuous tape substrate corresponding to the plurality of spaced-apart locations where each well surrounds a respective biological specimen on the continuous substrate, performing one or more chemical processes on the respective biological specimen contained in the each well of the plurality of wells, and analyzing results of the one or more chemical processes on the respective biological specimen contained in the each well of the plurality of wells.

Abstract: Provided are ultra fast-acting subcutaneously injectable insulin formulations as well as a stabilized subcutaneously injectable insulin and glucagon formulations, in addition to injection systems and methods of treatments and use thereof.

Abstract: An automated tissue section slicing, staining, and imaging system efficiently registers full-resolution tissue section images by applying scaled transformation matrices computed to register downsampled tissue section images to the full-resolution tissue section images.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an oral delivery capsule device for delivering an active agent to a part of a gastrointestinal (GI) tract of a subject are described. The capsule device may include a capsule body configured to travel along the GI tract. The capsule device may include a reservoir configured to contain an active agent for delivery to the GI tract of the subject. The oral delivery capsule device may include an actuation feature configured to provide a delivery force thereby causing the dispensing of the active agent. The oral delivery capsule device may include an actuation control feature configured to prevent actuation of the actuation feature under a first condition and allow actuation under a second condition. Related systems and methods are also described.
