Abstract: The present invention describes novel methods for using Treprostinil or its derivative, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the treatment and/or prevention of ischemic lesions, such as digital ulcers, in subjects with scleroderma (including systemic sclerosis), Buerger's disease, Raynaud's disease, Raynaud's phenomenon and/or other conditions that cause such lesions. The invention also relates to kits for treatment and/or prevention of ischemic lesions, comprising an effective amount of Treprostinil or its derivative, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for pre-emptive read reconstruction. In the method(s) disclosed herein, when a pre-emptive read reconstruction timer times out, if one or more drive read operations for providing requested stripe read data are still pending; and if stripe read data corresponding to the pending drive read operations may be constructed (ex.—reconstructed) based on the stripe read data received before the expiration of the timer, the pending drive read operations are classified as stale, but the pending drive read operations are still allowed to complete rather than being aborted, thereby promoting efficiency of the data storage system in situations when the data storage system includes an abnormal disk drive (ex.—a disk drive which endures random cycles of low read performance).

Abstract: A method of delivering benzindene prostaglandins to a patient by inhalation is discussed. A benzindene prostaglandin known as UT-15 has unexpectedly superior results when administered by inhalation compared to parenterally administered UT-15 in sheep with induced pulmonary hypertension.
