Abstract: A computing device for gaming by patrons. An identification acceptor may scan an identification document into digital form. A biological sensor such as a camera may obtain biological data describing a human patron. A currency acceptor and dispenser may accept money. The computing device may obtain biological data describing the patron. The computing device may verify the identity of the patron and acceptability of the patron for gaming based at least in part on the digital form of the patron's identification and the biological data. The computing device may accept currency for deposit into a wagering account. Once the patron is verified and the account is funded, the computing device may offer gaming activities to the verified patron out of the wagering account, and pay out gaming winnings at the currency dispenser.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating a patient suffering from renal failure in combination with diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, or a combination thereof, by empolying a peritoneal dialysis solution comprising N-acetylglucosamine as an osmotic agent. The use of N-acetylglucosamine as an osmotic agent, singly or in combination with other osmotic agent(s), in the dialysis fluid minimizes the risk of or prevents hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, and other complications associated with the current practice of peritoneal dialysis in such patients.
