Abstract: A cooling module row for an inline-memory module is provided. The cooling module row may include an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber positioned at a same end of the cooling module row. The cooling module row may also include a conduit in fluid communication with the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber. The conduit may be sized to fit adjacent the in-line memory module. A method of heat management for an in-line memory module is also provided. The method may include positioning a cooling module row adjacent the in-line memory module, the cooling module row having an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber positioned at the same end of the cooling module row.

Abstract: Provided herein is a method of bioassay for the quantification of peptide fragments relevant to neurodegenerative conditions. The method comprises cleaving a Tau protein by a secretase, such as ADAM10, to form a neo-epitope. The method comprises contacting a blood derived sample with an antibody specific for the neo-epitope and determining the level of binding of the antibody to peptide fragments comprising the neo-epitope in the sample. Neo-epitope containing peptide levels are found to be inversely correlated to cognitive function.

Abstract: Calcitonin mimetic peptides having an amino acid sequence in accordance with SEQ ID NO:8 or SEQ ID NO:53, each of which may be carboxylated at its N-terminal or otherwise modified to reduce the positive charge of the first amino acid and independently of that may be amidated at its C-terminal, and in each of which the 1 and 7 position cysteine residues may together be replaced by ?-aminosuberic acid (Asu) are useful as medicaments for treating diabetes (Type I and/or Type II), excess bodyweight, excessive food consumption, metabolic syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis, poorly regulated blood glucose levels, poorly regulated response to glucose tolerance tests, or poorly regulated of food intake.

Abstract: Provided herein are peptides, that in combination with metformin, are effective for the treatment of type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or obesity, or of appetite suppression, or for mitigating insulin resistance, or for reducing an undesirably high fasting serum glucose level, or for reducing an undesirably high peak serum glucose level, or for reducing an undesirably high peak serum insulin level, or for reducing an undesirably large response to a glucose tolerance test in synergistic combination with metformin. The peptides are selected from sequences SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 23, and SEQ ID NO: 24.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the treatment of type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or obesity, or of appetite suppression, or for mitigating insulin resistance, or for reducing an undesirably high fasting serum glucose level, or for reducing an undesirably high peak serum glucose level, or for reducing an undesirably high peak serum insulin level, or for reducing an undesirably large response to a glucose tolerance test in synergistic combination with metformin. Treatment is effected with a combination therapy of metformin and a peptide with a sequence selected from SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 23, and SEQ ID NO: 24 administered to a patient.

Abstract: Provided is a method for measuring the propensity of a patient to suffer progression of Alzheimer's disease that comprises, in either order: a) conducting a first immunoassay of a patient sample to determine the content (Tau-C?) of a C-terminal epitope present at the terminus of the amino acid sequence -SSTGSIDMVD (SEQ ID NO:1), and b) conducting a second immunoassay of the sample to determine the content (Tau-A?) of an N-terminal epitope present at the terminus of the amino acid sequence TPRGAAPPGQ- (SEQ ID NO:2), and c) calculating an index as a ratio Tau-A?/Tau-C? between the second level and the first level. The method may be used to select patients for a clinical trial of an intervention in Alzheimer's disease or to evaluate a therapy.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the treatment of type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or obesity, or of appetite suppression, or for mitigating insulin resistance, or for reducing an undesirably high fasting serum glucose level, or for reducing an undesirably high peak serum glucose level, or for reducing an undesirably high peak serum insulin level, or for reducing an undesirably large response to a glucose tolerance test in synergistic combination with metformin.

Abstract: A peptide having a sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:15, SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:17 and SEQ ID NO:18. Said peptide used for the treatment of type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or obesity, or of apetite suppression, or for mitigating insulin resistance, or for reducing an undesirably high fasting serum glucose level, or for reducing an undesirably high peak serum glucose level, or for reducing an undesirably high peak serum insulin level, or for reducing an undesirably large response to a glucose tolerance test.

Abstract: A method of bioassay for the quantification of peptide fragments relevant to neurodegenerative conditions comprising a neo-epitope formed by cleavage of a Tau protein by a secretase such as ADAM10 comprises contacting a blood derived sample with an antibody specific for the neo-epitope and determining the level of binding of said immunological binding partner to peptide fragments in said sample. Neo-epitope containing peptide levels are found to be inversely correlated to cognitive function.

Abstract: A method for screening for modulators of the secretion by an osteoclast of a wnt or a wnt signal enhancer comprises exposing osteoclasts in culture to a compound to be screened, exposing a wnt sensitive detection system to conditioned medium from said osteoclast culture, and determining whether a wnt signal is present in said medium by assaying for wnt mediated activation of bone formation by osteoblasts or by wnt mediated activation of LRP5 and or LPR6 signalling in a cell by detection of ? catenin or detection of translocation of disheveled, axin, or Frat1 to the cell membrane of said cell.
