Publication number: 20180224137Abstract: A system passively cools an interior area within a structure. The system includes a membrane assembly covering a portion of the structure, wherein the membrane has an interior side facing the interior area and an exterior side. The membrane assembly defines a plurality of pores. When a supply of fluid is provided to the membrane assembly, capillary action of the pores redistributes the fluid to create evaporation and, in turn, the desired heat flow. The membrane assembly can include an architectural membrane coated with a porous matrix coating to form the pores. A pump can provide the fluid to the interior side of the membrane assembly. Preferably, the architectural membrane is woven PTFE-coated fiberglass and the porous matrix coating is titanium dioxide and zeolites. The plurality of pores may have radii ranging from about 10 nanometers to 100 microns and a length of about 80 microns.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2016Publication date: August 9, 2018Inventor: Derek Martin Stein

Publication number: 20170315128Abstract: There is disclosed a molecular composition(s) of a novel tissue protective erythropoietin (EPO) binding receptor protein complex, termed NEPOR. Presence of NEPOR components on a tumour allows EPO to impinge on the survival of associated cells thereby enhancing tumour progression and negatively effecting patient survival. Presence of NEPOR represents a prognostic biomarker for poorer patient outcome. Thus, methods are provided for stratifying patients having a tumour as suitable (i.e. NEPOR not present) or non-suitable (i.e., NEPOR present) for EPO treatment, comprising: (a) isolating a tissue sample from an individual who is receiving or is a candidate for receiving erythropoietin, (b) determining the level of expression of the NEPOR gene(s) (mRNA) and/or the presence of the NEPOR gene product (protein) from the isolated tissue, and (c) correlating the presence of an NEPOR gene expression product or the presence of NEPOR protein to a physiological response to the treatment with erythropoietin.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2016Publication date: November 2, 2017Applicant: MOLECULAR HEALTH GMBHInventors: David B.

Publication number: 20150370982Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for bioinformatics and data processing. In particular, in a first aspect, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for generating a personalized treatment guideline for a patient and for selecting a treatment for a patient. In another aspect, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for selecting patients for a clinical trial of a treatment. The invention resolves cases in which patients have more than one “actionable” aberration by combining the patient-specific molecular information and the treatment-specific molecular information further with a clinico-molecular disease model, specifically a scoring of genes and/or proteins that represents several aspects of their involvement into the disease. In this way, treatments and patients can be prioritized that are most likely to impact or impacted by the disease mechanism, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2013Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Alexander Zien, David B.
