Abstract: Provided herein are compositions including a zeolite and methods of treating a sleep disorder in a subject by administering these compositions. For example, the compositions can include zeolite and one or more of valerenic acid, carnosic acid, and vitamin E.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating trimethylaminuria in a subject by administering a composition including a zeolite.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of determining a subject's risk of developing a cardiac arrhythmia, methods of treating a subject having or at risk of developing a cardiac arrhythmia, methods of selecting a treatment for a subject having or at risk of developing a cardiac arrhythmia, methods of selecting a subject for administration of a treatment for reducing risk of developing a cardiac arrhythmia, methods of determining the efficacy of a treatment in a subject having or at risk of developing a cardiac arrhythmia, and methods of monitoring a subject having or at increased risk of developing a cardiac arrhythmia based on a level of one or more of glucocorticoid (GC), corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), and neutrophil elastase (NE). Also provided are kits that include two or more of an antibody that binds specifically to GC, an antibody that binds specifically to GBC, and an antibody that binds specifically to NE.

Abstract: Methods of performing an assay for biomolecules and solid supports for use in such assays are disclosed. An activated polymeric material is used as a solid support for binding biomolecules. In a preferred form, the support is made of a generally hydrophobic, nonporous polymer which has been activated by treatment with solvents or by mechanical means to enhance the binding characteristics of the support. The support can be made of a copolymer, such as a copolymer of polystyrene and polybutadiene. Detection of bound biomolecules is preferably performed by means of staining reactions and gray level scanning. Emulsifying agents, such as detergents, can be applied to the surface of the support to substantially inhibit additional materials from being bound to the support.
