Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating neuropathy patients who have been administered a gabapentinoid. In particular, the methods involve administering a nucleic acid construct encoding human HGF proteins after discontinuing gabapentinoid. The present invention provides a novel method for a specific patient population to achieve a better therapeutic outcome by avoiding interference of therapeutic effects by gabapentinoids.

Abstract: An active balun uses two inverters to produce a differential output from a single-ended input. A current source supplies current to both inverters and a current sink sinks current from both inverters. The inverters include bias resistors coupled between their inputs and outputs. A coupling capacitor couples the output of the first inverter to the input of the first inverter. Values of the bias resistors and the coupling capacitor may selected to assure stability of the active balun. The values may be programmable, for example, based on a desired operating frequency. The current source may be biased by a common-mode feedback circuit based on the common-mode voltage of the differential output.

Abstract: A rapid, infrared spectroscopic method has been developed to assess the efficacy of targeted chemotherapeutics against the structure of the polypeptide target, based on the effect of natural polymorphic sequence variation on the conformation of the protein. This method has an advantage over the current genomics-based screening, as the new method provides a direct readout of the structural, and hence functional, outcome of polymorphisms to the protein region targeted by drugs. It allows rapid measurement of a protein's susceptibility to therapeutic targeted agents, prior to using the drug as treatment in the patient. This method can be used to identify biomarkers for a response for a protein to a drug which can be readily tested, interpreted, and used in a clinical setting.
