Abstract: An analytics platform and architecture is disclosed that improves the capture, extraction, and reporting of data required for certain measures, provides real-time data surveillance, dashboards, tracking lists, and alerts for specific, high-priority data, and offers dynamic, ad-hoc reporting capabilities. The platform includes a data extraction facility that gathers data from numerous sources, a data mapping facility that identifies and maps key data elements and links data over time, a data normalization facility to normalize the data and, optionally, de-identify the data, a flexible data warehouse for storing raw data or longitudinal data, an analytics facility for data mining, analytic model building, risk identification, benchmarking and tracking. The improved platform and architecture integrates social networking technology and analysis (SNA) on data to cluster data for more efficient, technically improved and focused processing.

Abstract: A system and method for managing clinical trial data includes dynamically generating, at a server, a data entry form to be displayed at a client. The data entry form is generated dynamically in a SGML-derived language. Control elements within the form comprise images which are used to construct the control elements and larger controls. The form is generated from a protocol database and a context received from the client, is populated from the data database, and is published to the client. Templates based on the protocol database comprise several frames including intermediate frames for displaying frame borders which are non-horizontal and non-vertical. If the trial protocol changes during a trial, the generated form is based on the protocol version active at the time data was entered into the form. Inadvertent use of the application is discouraged requiring an authentication procedure and displaying a picture of the authenticated user.

Abstract: Methods for inducing mobilization of peripheral blood precursor cells, for elevating levels of peripheral blood precursor cells and facilitating hematopoietic reconstitution in a mammal are disclosed, comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of an underivatized, aqueous soluble .beta.(1,3)-glucan in a triple helix conformation, which does not stimulate or prime the production of proinflammatory cytokines in vitro.

Abstract: Dentistry instrument with visual control having in its handle (2) pressure fluid supply lines (11, 12) as well as an optical device (14) for lighting and visualization with video transmission leading to an observation window (15), protected by a zone of turbulence generated by a pressure fluid, the instrument also including an image transmission unit and a data processing unit followed by a monitor for visualizing and processing the image.
