Abstract: A NLRP3-inhibitory compound 7 (NIC7) and a potent derivative NIC7w are disclosed. NLRP3-inhibitory compound 7 (NIC7) and a potent derivative NIC7w are a novel small-molecule inhibitor for inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasomes are identified. These compounds inhibit main elements of the NLRP3 signaling pathway, primarily IL-1? and caspase 1, and improve cognitive behaviors of mice in Alzheimer disease mouse models. Compositions of NIC7 and NIC7w are suitable as a therapeutic agent in treating, preventing, or improving the conditions of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: Closed cavity adjustable sensor mount systems include a sealed, closed cavity enclosing a sensor and forming a closed cavity sensor assembly. The closed cavity sensor assembly may be tilted and/or translated relative to a platform in order to adjust the orientation of the sensor to align it with an imaging optical axis. Following alignment, the closed cavity sensor assembly may be permanently or reversibly fixed in place. The closed cavity adjustable sensor mount systems may be part of medical imaging systems such as endoscopic imaging systems and/or open field imaging systems.
