Abstract: Search management systems and methods that cryptographically-secure search indices, search queries, and associated document records while in-use by cloud-based search software without requiring modification to the cloud-based search core software. The search proxy resides between a cloud-based vendor application and the cloud-based search software. The search proxy uses key-based deterministic cryptographic tokenization to irreversibly cryptographically-secure plaintext words from document records for indexing and plaintext keywords from search queries for search and retrieval. The search proxy separately uses key-based encryption on the document record's pre-tokenized plaintext words, adding the encrypted data as a separate field to the document record. This encrypted field is stored as part of the document by the search service.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing bodily fluid include a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample, an image capture device generating an image of the bodily fluid sample comprising a plurality of fields of view. An image processor is programmed to determine a biofilm in the bodily fluid sample from the image, determine a biofilm area or volume within each of the plurality of fields of view to form a plurality of biofilm areas, determine a total biofilm area or total biofilm volume by adding the plurality of biofilm areas, determine a first value corresponding to a comparison of the total biofilm area or the total biofilm volume and a total volume of the bodily fluid sample, and classify the first value into a classification. An analyzer, using the classification, displays an indicator on a display for indicating the classification of the biofilm within the bodily fluid sample.

Abstract: The invention relates to bar composition comprising minimum floor levels of C10 soap while minimizing ratio of unsaturated C18 soap to caprate. Such bars provide enhanced rapid, antibacterial activity. Disclosed is a soap bar composition comprising: a) 25 to 85%, preferably 35 to 75% by weight of C8 to C24 fatty acid soap comprising: (i) C10 soap at 8% or 15% or greater, more preferably 16 to 32% by weight of total bar composition; and, (ii) unsaturated C18 soap, wherein weight ratio of said unsaturated C18 soap to C10 (caprate) soap is 1.2 to 0.1. b) 1 to 45% organic and inorganic adjuvant materials by weight of the composition; and, c) 5 to 30%, preferably 13 to 28% water by weight of the composition, wherein excess of C10 soap to unsaturated C18 soap is at least 6%.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for enhancing the nuclear reprogramming of somatic cells to become induced pluripotent stem cells. In particular, the methods disclosed herein involve the use of damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMP). In certain embodiments the DAMPs are aluminum compositions such as aluminum hydroxide. Such DAMPs have unexpectedly and surprisingly been found to enhance the nuclear reprogramming efficiency of the reprogramming factors commonly used to induce somatic cells to become induced pluripotent stem cells. Accordingly, this disclosure describes methods of nuclear reprogramming as well as cells obtained from such methods along with therapeutic methods for using such cells for the treatment of disease amendable to treatment by stem cell therapy; as well as kits for such uses.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making an enantiomerically enriched tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt, and the use of a non-racemic chiral compound in the synthesis of an enantiomerically enriched tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt. The control of nitrogen-based chirality, achieved via the method of the invention, is useful where a specific tertiary or quaternary ammonium enantiomer is preferred over the other enantiomer, for example where a specific tertiary or quaternary ammonium enantiomer is more effective than the other enantiomer in treating a specific medical condition.
