Abstract: An improved method and device are provided for forming and/or maintaining a percutaneous access pathway. The device generally comprises an access pathway and attachment device. The provided assembly substantially reduces the possibility of iatrogenic infection while accessing and/or re-accessing a body space.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) with an antibody that inhibits PD1/PD-L1 activity in combination with etoposide and a platinum-based therapeutic agent.

Abstract: Systems, methods and compositions relating to delivering synthetic polymer formulations to the body are described, which can be used by a range of medical personnel including those with minimal experience and training. Under some embodiments, the present invention relates to systems and devices for delivering polymer formulations to a body cavity (e.g. peritoneal cavity) to reduce or stop bleeding. Under some embodiments, an initial percutaneous access pathway is first formed using a delivery device with a probe and needle mechanism that automatically stops the advance of the device upon insertion into a body cavity or space, thus minimizing user error and improving patient safety. The hollow probe then allows transmission of polymer, mixed with gas and/or additional substances, from a holding chamber or canister to flow through the device and hollow probe into the patient's anatomic cavity or space of interest, stopping expansion when the device senses the appropriate pressure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods related to the detection and/or elimination of a first nucleic acid and enrichment of a second nucleic acid in a sample, for example to exclude the first nucleic acid from downstream analysis or sequencing, or to exclude such sequences from a downstream data set.
