Abstract: A prosthetic wrist having at least one of a radial insert, which is configured to be fixed to a radius of a patient, a carpal implant or a wrist bearing component. The carpal implant can include a body and a pair of flanges, each of which being skewed to the axis of the body in a manner that permits them to abut the ulnar side of the hamate bone and the radial side of the distal portion of the carpal bone complex, respectively. The radial insert may be provided with a plurality of modular portions to allow for selection and customization of an implant. Also the various portions can allow for a hemi- or total, or revision wrist arthroplasty. The modular portions can allow for intraopertative customization.

Abstract: The invention features tobacco compositions and methods of their use and manufacture. Compositions of the invention may be based on a variety of technologies. Technologies include films, tabs, shaped parts, gels, consumable units, insoluble matrices, and hollow shapes. In addition to tobacco, compositions may also contain flavors, colors, and other additives as described herein. Compositions may also be orally disintegrable. Exemplary compositions and methods of their manufacture are described herein.

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies expressed in plant cells bind targeted transit peptides to decrease steady state levels of passenger proteins in plant organelles.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating epithelial cancers and precancerous lesions employ indole carbazole compounds, such as staurosporine. Compositions containing these compounds are administered to a patient in an effective amount and may be administered topically.

Abstract: Proteins from the genus Photorhabdus are toxic to insects upon exposure. Photorhabdus luminescens (formerly Xenorhabdus luminescens) have been found in mammalian clinical samples and as a bacterial symbiont of entomopathogenic nematodes of genus Heterorhabditis. These protein toxins can be applied to, or genetically engineered into, insect larvae food and plants for insect control.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition and method of using plant non-specific lipid acyl hydrolases to protect plants otherwise susceptible to insect infestation by one or more of corn rootworms, potato beetles, armyworms, borers, cutworms, wireworms, earworms and aphids.

Abstract: An inside corner form for forming an inside corner of a wall structure for casting concrete includes a central member for forming the corner, side members for forming portions of the walls adjacent the corner, an actuator for expanding and contracting the inside corner form and a lid for five sided pours. Slide lugs are provided to engage the central and side members such that the members are maintained in their proper orientations, while still permitting the members to slide relative to one another during the expansion and contraction of the form. A flowable material is injected between the central and side members for lubrication and to form a barrier to prevent grout from seeping between the members of the inside corner form and lid.
