Abstract: Provided are compositions and nanoparticle formulations that may be used, e.g., to deliver a therapeutic compound to a subject. In some embodiments, the nanoparticles may be used to deliver one or more chemotherapeutic agents to treat a cancer such, e.g., as a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract: Disclosed are method of detecting or characterizing a tumor by quantitatively measuring and comparing changes in mass transfer into the tumor and normal tissue over time using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The methods can be used to predict therapeutic response to treatment and to develop treatment plans.

Abstract: When units of serialized input are analyzed by an engine or algorithm that provides a plurality of entry suggestions for competing or replacing a unit of the serialized input, one or more haptic effects can be identified and provided in conjunction with display, selection, or use of one or more of the entry suggestions to aid in the use of the engine or algorithm. The haptic effects can represent a confidence level with respect to one or more of the entry suggestions or may otherwise indicate the relative success of the engine/algorithm. For example, the serialized input may comprise characters input to a mobile or other device. The engine or algorithm may suggest words or phrases with varying degrees of confidence, with the confidence with respect to some or all of the suggestions communicated by use of haptic effects.

Abstract: The personal lubricants of the present invention are lubricants, preferably made from substantially wholly organic ingredients, which include homeopathic ingredients which are known to be useful to support the male reproductive system and to support the strength of the male erection and increase sexual stamina. The lubricants are preferably water-based. In a preferred embodiment the lubricants are rehydrating.

Abstract: The formulations of the present invention include personal lubricants and topical applications, preferably made from substantially wholly organic ingredients, which include homeopathic ingredients which are known to be useful to support the female reproductive system. The lubricants are preferably water-based. In a preferred embodiment the lubricants are rehydrating.

Abstract: The formulations of the present invention include lubricants and topical applications, preferably made from substantially wholly organic ingredients, which include homeopathic ingredients which are known to be useful to support the perimenopausal or menopausal female system. The lubricants are preferably water-based. In a preferred embodiment the lubricants are rehydrating.

Abstract: A formulation is provided which acts as a rehydrating personal lubricant. A corresponding method of use is also disclosed. The formulation preferably includes guar gum and a water containing solvent. The formulation optionally but preferably additionally includes aloe vera, grapefruit seed extract, and vitamin E, as well as optionally other constituents. The formulation maintains and enhances its slipperiness over time when interacting with bodily fluids secreted by individuals utilizing the formulation during intimate contact such as sexual intercourse, such natural rehydration referred to as native rehydration.
