  • Publication number: 20200380889
    Abstract: Systems and methods are structured to impart an emotional connection to a goal and to generate customized, appropriate challenges that maintain participant engagement by handicapping certain parameters. In one embodiment, a financial health computing system is configured to: generate a first profile for a first participant; generate a first goal for the first participant, the first goal comprising a first plurality of milestones and a first plurality of rewards; assess a participant's progress based on a first status item; and generate an advisory alert for the first participant based on the first status item. The advisory alert comprises a recommended financial health activity and is configured to accept a user input for directing an auxiliary system to perform the recommended financial health activity. The first goal and the first plurality of rewards are customized to the first participant based at least in part on the first profile.

  • Publication number: 20140271645
    Abstract: A method for treating IL-20 induced inflammation. An antagonist to IL-20 is administered to treat inflammation and associated diseases. The antagonist can be an antibody that binds to IL-20 or its receptor or a soluble receptor that binds to IL-20. Examples of such diseases are adult respiratory disease, psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, septic shock, multiple organ failure, inflammatory lung injury, bacterial pneumonia, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

  • Publication number: 20070172889
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel uses two members of a new family of human proteins, designated as “Zven,” as agents that stimulate gastrointestinal contractility, gastric emptying, intestinal transit, and treating gastroparesis The Zven1 gene, which resides in human chromosome 3p21.1-3p14.3, is expressed in testicular tissue and peripheral blood lymphocytes. The invention also provides methods for using the antibodies to detect the presence of the protein with antibodies and methods for using the polynucleotides to detect the presence of Zven RNA.
