Abstract: System and method for managing a seeding process are disclosed. A processor generates a table that includes parameters to be utilized for an automation process to automate the seeding process. The automation process is triggered in response to running a batch process, i.e., a mainframe batch process and identifies one specific job that has been injected into the batch process during running the mainframe batch process; develops an execution command that makes a call to a predefined algorithm written in a predefined programming language installed on an operating system; passes commands by the predefined algorithm to a copy system manager (CSM) via a CSM application programming interface; transmits a query data via a predefined formatted data to the predefined algorithm which sends the predefined formatted data back to the execution command as reformatted text; and automatically detects which site the seeding process will execute from.

Abstract: Devices and methods for improving the infection-healing behavior of a biological wound are disclosed. The device can comprise: a matrix; a light-emitting layer comprising a plurality of light sources; a controller in electrical communication with the light sources, the controller being configured to execute a program stored in the controller to activate the light sources to irradiate the wound or a region adjacent the wound with light for a period of time when the device is placed over the wound; and an antimicrobial adjuvant present as part of the device in an amount effective to synergistically potentiate antimicrobial activity of the light with respect to microbes on or adjacent the wound. The wound may include microbes in a biofilm. In one embodiment, the antimicrobial adjuvant comprises a substituted naphthalene, such as menadione. In one embodiment, the antimicrobial adjuvant comprises near infrared radiation.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing CO from blood, the apparatus including: a housing configured to house blood obtained from a body of a subject within an interior of the housing; a plurality of gas-permeable tubules disposed within the interior of the housing; an optical intrusion coupled to the housing and configured to project into the housing, the optical intrusion configured to transmit light into the interior of the housing; and a light source optically coupled to the optical intrusion, the light source being configured to emit light which is coupled via the optical intrusion into the interior of the housing such that the emitted light interacts with the blood from the body of the subject.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing an automation stack to manage a seeding process are disclosed. A processor generates a table that includes parameters to be utilized for an automation process to automate a seeding process. The automation process is triggered in response to running a batch process, i.e., a mainframe batch process and identifies one specific job that has been injected into the batch process during running the mainframe batch process; develops an execution command that makes a call to a predefined algorithm written in a predefined programming language installed on an operating system; passes commands by the predefined algorithm to a CSM via a CSM API; transmits a query data via a predefined formatted data to the predefined algorithm which sends the predefined formatted data back to the execution command as reformatted text; and automatically detects which site the seeding process will execute from.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing a hair transplant using a hair transplant device. The hair transplant device comprises an extraction unit including a coring needle configured to extract at least one hair follicle from a donor site, an implanting unit removably coupled to the extraction unit, the implanting unit including a splitting needle configured to create an opening in a recipient site, a housing coupled to the extraction unit, and a user interface extending from the housing and moveable relative to the housing. The user interface includes a pin movable within the coring needle relative to the housing.
