Abstract: The present disclosure describes short antisense compounds, including such compounds comprising chemically-modified high-affinity monomers 8-16 monomers in length. Certain such short antisense compound are useful for the reduction of target nucleic acids and/or proteins in cells, tissues, and animals with increased potency and improved therapeutic index. Thus, provided herein are short antisense compounds comprising high-affinity nucleotide modifications useful for reducing a target RNA in vivo. Such short antisense compounds are effective at lower doses than previously described antisense compounds, allowing for a reduction in toxicity and cost of treatment. In addition, the described short antisense compounds have greater potential for oral dosing.

Abstract: A portable workstation includes wheels, a tabletop, a generally planar member and a chassis joining the wheels, the tabletop and the planar member. While joined to the wheels and the tabletop by the chassis, the planar member is movable between a protracted position and a retracted position. A majority of the planar member extends above the tabletop in the protracted position, and a majority of the planar member does not extend above the tabletop in the retracted position.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds, compositions and methods for modulating the expression of hepcidin in a cell, tissue or animal or preventing, ameliorating or treating anemia. Also provided are methods for prevention, amelioration or treatment of anemia, and for increasing red blood cell count in an animal. Also provided are methods for the prevention, amelioration and/or treatment of low serum iron levels, low red blood cell count and other clinical endpoints of anemia in an animal. These methods may be achieved by administration of compounds or compositions including antisense compounds targeted to a nucleic acid that expresses hepcidin polypeptide combined with an erythropoiesis stimulating agent.
