Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying meta-events. A plurality of event items are received over a given period of time. The plurality of event items are analyzed to determine one or more areas of interests. One or more characteristics of the plurality of events items is measured. The measured number of event items within the particular area of interest within the given time period are compared against a measured number of even items within the particular area of interest within a previous time period. It is determined that a meta-event has occurred when the difference between the measured number of event items within the particular area of interest compared to the measured number of items within the particular area of interest within a previous time period exceeds a threshold measure of event items.

Abstract: An edgelit recessed luminaire includes a housing that defines an inner cavity and has a pair of side panels. Each side panel includes one or more torsion spring receivers. Further, the edgelit recessed luminaire includes a light engine that includes torsion springs that are pivotally coupled to the light engine via torsion spring brackets. The light engine is removably coupled to the housing such that in an open position, the light engine is suspended from the housing via the torsion springs providing access to the inner cavity and in a closed position, the light engine covers the inner cavity of the housing. Alternatively, a linear light module is removably coupled to the housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for selecting a suitable anticancer drug therapy, and for identifying and predicting response, for the treatment of colorectal cancer. The present invention also provides methods for monitoring the status of colorectal cancer and monitoring how a patient with colorectal cancer is responding to anticancer drug therapy. The present invention further provides methods for the rational selection of therapy with one or more anticancer drugs tailored to target signal transduction pathway components with dysregulated expression and/or activation levels in patients with somatic mutations in an oncogene.

Abstract: The present invention provides assays and methods for predicting the survival of a subject having colorectal cancer (CRC), thereby determining whether the subject will have a good prognosis or poor prognosis. The present invention also provides assays and methods for predicting therapeutic efficacy and/or response to anti-cancer therapeutics in a subject having CRC, thereby selecting a therapeutic regimen to which the subject is likely to be responsive.

Abstract: The present invention provides assays and methods for predicting the post-operative survival of a subject having an early stage gastric cancer after tumor surgery. The present invention also provides methods for treating a subject having an early stage gastric cancer by administering a combination therapy tailored to the signal transduction biomarkers that are activated in the cancer. In particular embodiments, the methods of the invention rely on the detection of the activation state or level of a specific combination of signal transducer analytes in a cancer cell obtained from the subject. Thus, the methods of the invention are particularly useful for predicting the survival or prognosis of a subject having an early stage gastric cancer and for guiding both pre- and post-operative treatment decisions by identifying subjects who would benefit from combination therapy as opposed to monotherapy.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for detecting the expression and/or activation levels of components of signal transduction pathways in tumor cells such as triple-negative metastatic breast tumor cells. Information on the expression and/or activation levels of components of signal transduction pathways derived from use of the present invention can be used for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and in the design of cancer treatments.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for selecting a suitable anticancer drug for the treatment of patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present invention also provides methods for determining drug resistance in NSCLC patients receiving EGFR inhibitor therapy.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for selecting a subject as suitable for combination therapy with EGFR and HER2 inhibitors. The present invention also provides methods for predicting whether a subject will benefit from the combination therapy. In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods for determining whether to administer a combination therapy in a subject receiving EGFR inhibitor therapy. In other embodiments, the present invention provides methods for monitoring a subject on EGFR inhibitor therapy to determine whether to administer a combination therapy of EGFR and HER2 inhibitors. The present invention is particularly useful to facilitate the design of personalized therapies for colorectal cancer patients with EGFR inhibitor sensitivity.
