Abstract: A method for treating patients afflicted with cancer (including hematological malignancies) or viral infections, wherein the patients are under treatment or are to be treated with at least one anticancer or antiviral agent, and in particular (deoxy)nucleotide or (deoxy)nucleoside analog drugs, includes administering at least one small molecule inhibitor/activator (including ATP competitive inhibitors, signal transduction inhibitors/activators, protein kinase inhibitors/activators, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors/activators) in combination with the (deoxy) nucleotide or (deoxy)nucleoside analog, and wherein the small molecule inhibitor/activator is administered in sufficient amount to modulate deoxynucleotide or deoxynucleoside kinase activity (and in particular deoxycytidine kinase activity) to modulate activation of the (deoxy)nucleotide or (deoxy)nucleoside analog in vivo with a subsequent therapeutically beneficial anticancer or antiviral effect.

Abstract: A number of reagent-free infrared spectroscopic diagnostic and analytical methods have been established previously, making use of dry biofluid films. For example, this approach has successfully measured high concentration analytes of serum and urine. However, a number of low concentration diagnostically relevant analytes presently elude detection by infrared spectroscopy. This is due in part to their relatively low concentration and in part to spectral interference by other strongly absorbing constituents. The applicability of the technique would be broadened substantially if it were possible to separate and concentrate, lower concentration analytes, e.g. serum creatinine and urine proteins, from the obscuring presence of relatively high concentration compounds. The invention disclosed achieves this is through microfluidic sample preconditioning based upon laminar fluid diffusion interfaces.
