Abstract: Provided herein are methods of administering ISIS 721744 for ameliorating edema, and methods of reducing prekallikrein (PKK) RNA, protein or activity in a human subject in need thereof. In certain instances, methods are useful for ameliorating at least one symptom of hereditary angioedema. Such symptoms of hereditary angioedema include, but are not limited to, nausea, vomiting, itching, headache, fatigue, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, rhinitis, anaphylaxis, bronchoconstriction, and swelling. In certain instances, methods are useful for ameliorating at least one symptom of macular edema. Such symptoms of macular edema include, but are not limited to, impaired vision and vision loss.

Abstract: A plunger storage unit with a base and a cap secured to the based. The base has a handle receiving void. A handle adapter is received in the handle receiving void. The handle adapter has an inner arc and an outer arc with a land between the inner arc and outer arc. Upper tabs and lower tabs are attached to the outer arc such that when the handle adapter is in the handle receiving void a portion of the cap is between the upper tabs and the lower tabs.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a fluid level includes a housing with a level indicator adapted to display a measured fluid level. A float is associated with the level indicator and an elongated flexible member is provided with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is attached to the float. The apparatus further includes a spool adapted to store at least a portion of the elongated flexible member, wherein the second end of the elongated flexible member is attached to the spool. A biasing member is adapted to urge the spool to automatically uptake portions of the elongated flexible member as the float travels towards the housing and adapted to allow the elongated flexible member to unwind from the spool as the float travels away from the housing. Additional apparatus include a housing with a level indicator having first and second level indicating gears and a first indexing device adapted to prevent its movement away from one of the indexing gears.

Abstract: A curved wood bending machine for bending solid, veneered or laminated wooden members has a support frame with a generally planar top member on which a plurality of guide rails are connected in predetermined circumferential relationship and radial planes from a common counterpoint on the top member so that clamping assemblies slidably mounted on the guide rails can be moved by suitable associated actuating means on the guide rails to predetermined positions relative each other. The clamping assemblies have a fixed vertical shoe and a coacting movable shoe which is activated by a suitable fluid pressure device such as a pneumatically operated cylinder and plunger arrangement so that a desired curvature can be established to fit and bend an elongated wooden member therein.

Abstract: A machine for precision cutting and finishing of curved wooden members, includes a generally vertically disposed column; a support assembly including a plurality of spaced, relatively narrow support guides; a radially adjustable clamping assembly on each of at least two support guides, each clamping assembly having two locking jaws, at least one locking jaw being fluidly operated to move relative to the other locking jaw and for holding and fixing the curved wooden member; an elongated beam rotatably connected at one end to the upper end of the column and cantilevered to extend radially outward therefrom for movement in a circumferential arc over the upper support members, a tool support having one end slidably connected to the elongated cantilevered beam and movable to and fro along the radially extending axis of the beam; a tool holder adjustably connected on the tool support for generally vertical and rotational movement, the tool holder including a T-connector having opposite tool connecting ends and two
