Abstract: A system and method are provided which comprises a proprietary computer software that allows for relationship and contact management and promotion. The system and method may allow the user to track their activities for business development purposes. Moreover, the individual user of the system would be able to enter activity dates, along with the name of the contact. The individual user could select a contact from an address book from a database, and identify their initial activity from a list of preselected actions or enter a new activity. A point would be assigned to this activity. The system would then provide the use of the option of preselected actions along with the date to complete the action, or the user would have the ability to enter a new activity and date. The program would tally the number of points a user has accumulated on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

Abstract: Myeloid function is enhanced by transplantation or infusion of allogeneic myeloid progenitor cells, including CMP, GMP, MEP and MKP cell subsets. Myeloid progenitors ameliorate sequelae of anemia and thrombocytopenia, and can prevent or treat gastrointestinal mucositis associated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and the like. The transplantation or infusion may be performed in the absence of HLA typing, and the cells may be mismatched at one or more Class I HLA loci. The transplantation may provide for treatment of ongoing disease, or prevention of disease in high risk patients.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for assaying poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity and methods for the identification of modulators of PARP activity. These methods comprise contacting immobilized PARP with NAD under conditions that allow PARP auto-ribosylation, contacting the auto-ribosylated PARP with a detectable marker to form a complex and then indirectly or directly measuring the amount of detectable marker bound to the auto-ribosylated PARP, this amount being indicative of PARP activity.
