Abstract: A control center receives an order from a patient's smart phone to fill a new prescription prescribed by a doctor to a patient, along with a selection of one drug dispensing kiosk. A remotely located pharmacist video teleconferences with the patient via the patient's smart phone to provide counseling about the prescribed pharmaceutical. The patient goes to the drug dispensing kiosk where the patient inputs information that is communicated to the control center. In response to the patient's input, the remotely located pharmacist initiates a transmission to the control center. In response to receiving input from the remotely located pharmacist, the control center communicates an order to dispense the new prescription to the patient from the drug dispensing kiosk such that the order to dispense the new prescription to the patient from the drug dispensing kiosk is initiated by a human so as to be as a subjective dispensing decision.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for providing a communication network. The system comprises a network-connected server having input and access capabilities, a site builder, a transmitter, a communicator, and memory. The site-builder receives instructions input from a first user and creates a dedicated network site based on the received instructions. The transmitter communicates the existence of the dedicated network site to a nominated second user. The communicator provides accesses to the contents of the dedicated network site by the first and second users. The memory stores information input by the first and the second user in the dedicated network site.

Abstract: Presented herein are affinity-based mass spectrometric methods and assays for analysis of insulin like growth factors 1 and 2 (IGF-1 and IGF-2) present in complex biological mixtures and fluids. IGF-1 and IGF-2 were assayed from human plasma via BIA/MS, utilizing antibodies as ligands for affinity retrieval. Detection of both targeted and non-targeted IGFs in the mass spectra indicated possible protein complex retrieval by the individual antibodies. Plasma samples were investigated under variable denaturing conditions to confirm the detection of both free and bound IGFs. In a MSIA approach to IGF detection, pipettor tips containing porous solid supports covalently derivatized with anti-IGF antibodies were used to extract specific IGFs from plasma in preparation for mass spectrometry. Single or multiplex IGF-1 and IGF-2 assays were performed, resulting in detection of wild-type IGF-1 and 2, and a truncated IGF-2 variant, missing its N-terminal Alanine (also detected in the BIA/MS experiments).

Abstract: Presented herein are methods, devices and kits for the mass spectrometric immunoassay (MSIA) of proteins and their variants that are present in complex biological fluids or extracts. Protein and variant levels can be determined using quantitative methods in which the protein/variant signals are normalized to signals of internal reference standard species (either doped into the samples prior to the MSIA analysis, or other endogenous protein co-extracted with the target proteins) and the values compared to working curves constructed from samples containing known concentrations of the protein or variants.

Abstract: Described is an affinity microcolumn comprising a high surface area material, which has high flow properties and a low dead volume, contained within a housing and having affinity reagents bound to the surface of the high surface area material that are either activated or activatable. The affinity reagents bound to the surface of the affinity microcolumn further comprise affinity receptors for the integration into high throughput analysis of biomolecules.
