Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting regulatory requirements for the distribution of controlled and non-controlled items such as, for example, non-controlled prescriptions (Rx), medical devices, and controlled substances in countries such as the United States and Canada, are provided. The systems and methods incorporate a license verification module that is configured to perform license validation for a particular order placed for a controlled and/or non-controlled item. In certain embodiments, the license verification module compares order data to historically sorted data and if one or more discrepancies exist, validation is unsuccessful. The license verification module may further query a third party database for updated license information upon validation failure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for computing paths through a network are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes the step of receiving information regarding a path through a network from a source node via one or more intermediate nodes to a destination node, whereby the path is loosely defined by a user as a partially-completed route through the network using one or more network resources. The method also includes the step of utilizing the information regarding the path to automatically compute a completed home route from the source node to the destination node while attempting to retain as many of the one or more intermediate nodes of the path as possible.

Abstract: One aspect of the technology described herein relates to a method for treating a subject having a cancer. This method involves selecting a subject having cancer; administering, to the selected subject, a cytotoxic fusion protein comprising an N-terminus coupled to a C-terminus, wherein the N-terminus comprises diphtheria toxin fragments A and B and the C-terminus comprises human IL-2; and administering, to the selected subject, a programmed cell death-1 receptor (PD-1) pathway inhibitor to treat the cancer in the subject. Also disclosed is a method for sensitizing a target cell population to treatment with a PD-1 pathway inhibitor, as well as compositions and kits for use in treating a subject having cancer.

Abstract: Ceramic HID lamps with improved thermal management having an adherent infrared reflective coating layer located on the outer surface of the vessel are described. They include a coating of a nonmetallic material proximate the first and second end portions of the vessel. Such coatings can minimize temperature gradients during lamp operation. Methods for preparing such lamps with improved thermal management are described as well.
