Abstract: Methods, agents, and devices to treat medical conditions through local chemical neuromodulation of the autonomic nervous system are described. Drug formulations may be injected at or near ganglia, nerve plexi, ganglionated plexi, and nerves to treat different diseases. Target sites for the treatment of cardiac and other disease conditions may include extrinsic stellate (cervicothoracic) and cervical ganglia of the sympathetic chain, and intrinsic cardiac nerves and ganglionated plexi innervating the myocardium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to non-toxic consumable compositions and formulations comprising chelator and base having synergistic effects on microbial metabolism and/or growth and/orpathogenic effectors and their use to promote and maintain health in mammals. The current invention also relates to non-toxic consumable compositions comprising more than one chelator and/or more than one base. The present invention further relates to methods for selecting said chelator and base composition and methods for detecting conditions in which selected compositions may be used. The present invention relates to the synergistic compositions and methods of their use for maintaing health, promoting health and treating diseases.

Abstract: Presented herein is a voltaic cell containing light harvesting antennae or other biologically-based electron generating structures optionally in a microbial population, an electron siphon population having electron conductive properties with individual siphons configured to accept electrons from the light harvesting antennae and transport the electrons to a current collector, an optional light directing system (e.g., a mirror), and a regulator having sensing and regulatory feedback properties for the conversion of photobiochemical energy and biochemical energy to electricity. Also presented herein is a voltaic cell having electricity-generating abilities in the absence of light. Also presented herein is the use of the voltaic cell in a solar panel.

Abstract: Methods of use, formulations, and devices for delivering therapeutic drugs locally to the region of the spleen are described herein. A method for treating sepsis and other inflammatory disease conditions can include inserting a drug delivery system inside the body, advancing the device to the spleen through the splenic artery, splenic vein or other blood vessel adjacent to the splenic nerves, or within a ligament associated with the spleen, such as the splenorenal or gastrosplenic ligaments.

Abstract: Disclosed is a covalently-linked multilayered three-dimensional matrix comprising capture molecules, linkers and spacers (referred to as a Molecular Net) for specific and sensitive analyte capture from a sample. Also disclosed herein is a Molecular Net comprising covalently-linked multilayered three-dimensional matrix comprising more than one type of capture molecule and more than one type of linker and may comprise one or more spacer for specific and sensitive capture of more than one type of analyte from a sample. A Molecular Net may comprise a pseudorandom nature. Use of various capture molecules, linkers and spacers in a Molecular Net may confer unique binding properties to a Molecular Net. Porosity, binding affinity, size exclusion abilities, filtration abilities, concentration abilities and signal amplification abilities of a Molecular Net may be varied and depend on the nature of components used in its fabrication.
