Abstract: Techniques for fingerprinting and aggregating a virtual private cloud (VPC) flow log stream are provided. Each VPC flow log event in the VPC flow log is first determined to be a request event or a response event. A fingerprint is then generated for each VPC flow log event. The fingerprint for a VPC flow log event is generated based on the determination whether the VPC flow log event is a request event or a response event and by concatenating and encoding data contained in a set of data fields corresponding to the VPC flow log event. Based on the fingerprint generated for each VPC flow log event, related events can be detected and aggregated to form an aggregated event. Information stored with each aggregated event can then be used to better monitor the VPC.

Abstract: The invention relates to an inhibitor of FXYD2 wherein said inhibitor reduces the expression and/or activity of FXYD2 in a subject in need thereof and targets at least the region comprising or consisting of the nucleotides 219-229 of SEQ ID NO: 3. Inventors have shown that targeting a region of FXYD2 can be used to inhibit and/or reduce the expression and/or activity of FXYD2. They have designed and synthesized an antisense oligonucleotide (SEQ ID NO: 4) targeting the rat and human FXYD2 gene. The have performed intrathecal injection of FXYD2 optimized ASO in two rat models of pain (neuropathic and inflammatory pain). They have shown that FXYD2 ASO efficiently reduces its expression in rat Dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The have demonstrated that FXYD2 ASO dramatically reduces neuropathic pain in the Spinal Nerve Ligation (SNL) rat model and analgesic effect of FXYD2 ASO on neuropathic pain is greater than that of Ziconotide, the current market leader.

Abstract: A central cloud computing account may aggregate events (e.g., configuration change events, policy change events, computing resource-based events, AWS resource policy modification events, etc.) from a plurality of non-centralized (e.g., distributed across various geographic regions, etc.) cloud computing accounts. The central cloud computing account may implement standardized and/or common formatting for configuration information (e.g., computing resource policy information, AWS resource policy information, etc.) indicated by each of the aggregated events. The standardized and/or common formatting may facilitate versioning to indicate changes to the configuration information for each of the non-centralized cloud computing accounts.
