Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises an analytic server, which aggregates different accounts for a user. The analytic server queries data associated with the user. From the queried data, the analytic server determines the accounts and the account servers. From the account servers, the analytic server queries the transactions of the accounts. The analytic server generates an instance to aggregate the determined accounts and transactions. The analytic server further scans the user's email content to determine potentially unknown transactions. The analytic server compares the potentially unknown transaction from the email content with the transactions in the instance. If there is no match, the analytic server determines the account of the potentially unknown transaction from the email content is a new account that is not aggregated. The analytic server notifies the user regarding the new account and updates the instance to reflect the new account.

Abstract: Methods of treating subjects having clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) with lymphocyte antigen 75 (LY75), Cluster of Differentiation 164 (CD164), or Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors, and methods of identifying subjects having an increased risk of developing CHIP are provided herein.

Abstract: A composition having one or more nanoneedles is provided, where each nanoneedle has a silver tip and one or more of the silver tips comprise an AgCl layer. In one approach, one or more of the silver tips further include a layer of thiol-polyethylene glycol. A method of resistive pulse detection involving a protein pore is also provided. The method involves reconstituting one or more protein pores in a lipid membrane formed on the tip of a nanoneedle, then applying a potential across the membrane and detecting resistive pulses.
