Abstract: The invention is based on the disclosure provided herein that secondary lymphoid organ chemokine (SLC) inhibits the growth of syngeneic tumors in vivo. Thus, the invention provides a method of treating cancer in a mammal subject by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an SLC to the mammal in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor, including monoclonal antibodies and small molecule inhibitors. Exemplary checkpoint molecules include CTLA-4, a CTLA-4 receptor, PD-1, PD1-L1, PD1-L2, 4-1BB, OX40, LAG-3, TIM-3 or a combination thereof. SLCs useful in the methods of the invention include SLC polypeptides, variants and fragments and related nucleic acids.

Abstract: A wireless remote monitoring system for biomedical fluid management that uses one or more sensors to detect changes in fluid or air in any container attached to a patient in order to monitor pre-surgical or post-surgical progress or complications. The sensors may be configured to monitor any type of container used to collect fluid or air from the human body, to transmit the sensor signals wirelessly to any number of devices including, but not limited to, cell phones or devices which in turn can send data to a functional repository where it can be analyzed and potentially acted upon by either a central or distributed network of providers.
