Abstract: An HME device (1) has an outer housing (10) in two parts removably connected with one another by bayonet lugs (17) on one part (13) inserted in bayonet slots (48) on the other part (14) and twisted. An HME unit (50) has a tapered coupling at one end fitted on an internal port (45) in one part (14) so that it can be removed and replaced by separating the two parts of the housing. The outside of the HME unit (50) is spaced from the inside of the housing (10) by an annular bypass channel (55). A selector (31) has a rotatable plate that can be moved to cover either the passage through the HME unit or the bypass channel.

Abstract: Provided are methods for clinical treatment of hematological malignancies, such as relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or lymphoma using an anti-LAG-3 antibody.

Abstract: Described are a system, method, and computer program product for secure client device and consumer authentication. The method includes receiving a primary account number (PAN) of an account of a consumer from a merchant system and determining whether the PAN has been registered with a public key of a public-private key pair of a client device of the consumer. The method also includes, in response to determining that the PAN has been registered, transmitting a login request to a transaction processing system including a device identifier of the client device based on the PAN. The method further includes receiving a login response from the transaction processing system associated with successful authentication of the client device and, in response to receiving the login response, processing a transaction by generating a transaction authorization request message including the PAN to the transaction processing system.

Abstract: A releasable medical drape, and systems and methods having the same, includes at least a liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a soft-gel layer having a plurality of apertures. The soft-gel layer is configured to be disposed adjacent to a tissue site. A portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer extends through the plurality of apertures in the soft-gel layer to contact the tissue site. The soft-gel layer forms a good seal with the tissue site and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer extending through the plurality of apertures forms a firm—but releasable—coupling with the tissue site.

Abstract: An asset management system helps ensure the safety of technicians performing maintenance on electrical power generation assets. The system includes an electronic device operated by a technician. Prior to performing maintenance on a power generation asset, the technician utilizes the electronic device to scan an identification marker on the asset. The electronic device then retrieves, from an asset database, status data regarding the safety status of the asset. The electronic device displays the status data to the technician.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a wound dressing layer. The wound dressing layer may include an open-cell foam.
