Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt of: (i) S-pindolol; and (ii) an organic acid, wherein the organic acid has: a pKal of greater than or equal to 2.5; and a chemical formula of CxHy(CO2H)z, where x is from 1 to 10, y is from 2 to 20 and z is 1 or 2. The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt is useful in treating conditions such as cachexia, sarcopenia, a neuromuscular disorder and muscle weakness.

Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) pad with a release liner that has a pull tab is prepared by contacting the CMP pad to an adhesive layer with release liner. The adhesive layer sheet is cut along a first portion of a perimeter of the CMP pad. An extension of the adhesive layer is cut that extends beyond an edge of the CMP pad at the remaining portion of the perimeter of the CMP pad, thereby creating an extension of the adhesive layer sheet with the adhesive layer exposed. The exposed adhesive layer is cut to a depth not to extend into the release liner. The adhesive layer is removed from the exposed region leaving only the release liner pull tab as a continuous extension of the release liner material.

Abstract: A note automation server automatically generates medical notes for appointments between patients and physicians. The note automation server generates a fingerprint for each upcoming appointment between a patient and physician using information from an EHR system and information stored on the note automation server. The fingerprint includes information about the patient, including demographic information and medical history. The note automation server identifies an appropriate note template and billing codes for the appointment using the fingerprint and an audio file recorded by a physician during and/or after an appointment. The fingerprint, audio file, and note template are used complete of the medical note. The completed medical note and billing codes are exported to the EHR system, where it is accessed by the physician. The note automation server monitors the EHR system to see if the physician modified the medical note or a billing code.

Abstract: The nitrate-nitrogen concentration in soil is estimated based on the nitrate-nitrogen 200 nm absorption peak. In one embodiment, a device measures the attenuation spectrum of a soil-extractant mixture over a wavelength range that includes wavelengths in the vicinity of the 200 nm absorption peak (the spectral operating range) and then determines the nitrate-nitrogen concentration based on the attenuation spectrum.
