Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide medication dispensing carts and methods. The medication dispensing carts may include a base having wheels that allow the carts to be transported within a facility, a computing device configured to receive input from a user, a display device communicatively coupled with the computing device for displaying information to the user, a post that couples the display device with the base, and a plurality of cassettes that have one or more bins within which medical supplies are stored. The plurality of cassettes may be coupled with the post and the post may include a plurality of communication ports that communicatively couple one or more of the cassettes with the computing device to perform or provide various functions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of detecting poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (“PARP”) activity in cells and tissue by contacting a cell with an effective amount of biotinylated NAD+ and detecting the presence of incorporated biotin within the cell. The invention also relates to the identification oxidatively stressed tissues and cells by detecting PARP activity. The invention also relates to identifying a patient suffering from a disorder that causes PARP overexpression.
