  • Publication number: 20230190752
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods to quantify VCP phosphorylation at specific amino acid residue to predict responsiveness of a subject having a cancer or tumor to a genotoxic treatment, guide treatment decisions, select subjects for clinical trials, and evaluate the clinical efficacy of certain therapeutic interventions.

  • Publication number: 20220285017
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving operating room utilization are disclosed herein. Ins some implementations, the method includes retrieving historical statistics of usage rates for an operating room, predicting an estimate of how much time will be unused during a future time block based on the historical information and a planned schedule, and generating a recommendation for the unused time in the estimate. In some implementations, predicting the estimate includes constructing one or more regression models based on the historical statistics. In such implementations, each of the one or more regression models can identify a relationship between the planned usage rate and the actual usage rate based on a different modeling technique. Once the estimate is obtained, the recommendation for the unused time can be based at least partially on an identification of one or more intervals in a future time block that are associated with an open operating room.

  • Patent number: 7444380
    Abstract: System and method for delivery of an electronic message from a sender unknown to a recipient when such message comprises a sender code verified by recipient's electronic message handler, thereby eliminating delivery of unsolicited bulk messages. Dispensing sender codes per recipient addresses thwarts senders of unsolicited bulk messages. Dispensing sender codes upon successful response to a human response question further thwarts bulk senders. Sender code calculation according to periodically changing factors limits sender code utility to finite time periods.
