Abstract: A protective garment that can be worn by hematology and oncology patients innocuously as to encourage physical activity via participation in non-contact sports is disclosed. More specifically, the protective garment having portacatch and G-tube protective, monitoring, and/or medicine administrating enabling features. In accordance with some aspects, the portacath and G-tube protective features include protective areas including a padding that is sufficiently large to accommodate for some movement relative to the body. Moreover, one or more sensors may be included in the protective garment and may be configured to be in communication with a processor as to enable monitoring and transmission of data relating to condition(s) detected. An integrated/exterior signaling/actuating electronic device may be used to receive data and perform a programmed action corresponding to the condition(s) detected.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a portable bioelectrochemical electrical signal measuring device that may have at least one anode, at least one cathode, an anode-cathode connector between said at least one anode and said at least one cathode, a load connector between a load and said at least one anode and at least one cathode, and a data meter connected to said load connector wherein the device may measure an electrical signal of a matrix to perhaps determine the microbial activity in the matrix.

Abstract: Tripeptide and tetrapeptide thioethers, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, their pharmaceutical use, and their preparation. The compounds are useful in potentiating the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents in tumor cells, selectively exerting toxicity in tumor cells, elevating the production of GM progenitors in bone marrow, stimulating the differentiation of bone marrow, mitigating the myelosuppressive effects of chemotherapeutic agents, and modulating hematopoiesis in bone marrow.
