Abstract: Techniques for tracking a progression of a therapeutic procedure that is performed by a patient are disclosed. A notification is received from a server computer system. This notification relates to a tracking process designed to monitor a progress of the patient in performing the therapeutic procedure. After receipt of the notification, a UI is displayed. This UI has a particular visual layout that is designed to facilitate the tracking process. In response to a particular field being selected within the UI, a secret key that de-identifies the patient is accessed. The accessed secret key and a specific image are then encrypted. As a consequence, encrypted data is generated. The encrypted data is then transmitted to the server computer system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of selective aquaporin inhibitors, e.g., of aquaporin-4 or aquaporin-2, e.g., certain phenylbenzamide compounds, for the prophylaxis, treatment and control of aquaporin-mediated conditions, e.g., diseases of water imbalance, for example edema (particularly edema of the brain and spinal cord, e.g., following trauma or ischemic stroke, as well as the edema associated with glioma, meningitis, acute mountain sickness, epileptic seizures, infections, metabolic disorders, hypoxia, water intoxication, hepatic failure, hepatic encephalopathy, diabetic ketoacidosis, abscess, eclampsia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and lupus cerebritis, as well as edema consequent to microgravity and/or radiation exposure, as well as edema consequent to invasive central nervous system procedures, e.g.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus method for producing direct reduced iron (DRI) from iron ore using biomass as a source of reductant and as a heating source of the iron ore and electromagnetic energy as a further heating source in a furnace having multiple zones. The zones include a preheat zone and a reduction zone between an inlet for briquettes of iron ore and biomass and an outlet for direct reduced iron. The method includes counter-current movement of (a) briquettes of iron ore and biomass in a direction from the inlet to the outlet and (b) combustible gases in an opposite direction in the furnace.

Abstract: Provided are novel formulations of 2-{[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoyl}-4-chlorophenyl dihydrogen phosphate as described below and uses thereof.

Abstract: A method for producing direct reduced iron (“DRI”) from iron ore and biomass is disclosed. The method includes heating a batch of iron ore and biomass in each oven chamber of a non-recovery batch oven by a combination (i) the thermal mass of a lining of the oven chamber and (ii) combustion of a fuel gas from at least one other oven chamber and at least partially reducing the iron ore and forming DRI. The method also includes discharging gases from the oven chamber through passageways in a wall and a floor of the oven chamber and further combusting combustible gases and transferring heat to the wall and the floor of the oven chamber as the gases move through the passageways. The method also includes discharging at least a portion of gases from the oven chamber, without passing the gases through passageways in the floor of the oven chamber, and using these gases as a fuel gas in subsequent combustion heating in other batch oven chambers when a first predetermined trigger point is reached.

Abstract: Provided are novel prodrug salts of selective aquaporin inhibitors, their use as pharmaceuticals, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and novel processes for their synthesis and novel intermediates for use in their synthesis. Also provided is use of a compound for the prophylaxis, treatment, and control of aquaporin-mediated conditions. Aquaporin inhibitors, e.g., inhibitors of AQP4 and/or AQP2, may be of utility in the treatment or control of diseases of water imbalance, for example edema (particularly edema of the brain and spinal cord), hyponatremia, and excess fluid retention, as well as diseases such as epilepsy, retinal ischemia and other diseases of the eye, myocardial ischemia, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, myocardial hypoxia, congestive heart failure, sepsis, and neuromyelitis optica, as well as migraines.

Abstract: A system can provide efficiency in monitoring prescription medication can include a client computer system configured to service a user interface (UI) for facilitating a pill counting procedure. The client receives a notification from a server computer system to initiate a pill count. The instructions can also cause the system to display a UI on the client computer system to facilitate the pill counting procedure. The displayed layout includes: (i) a timestamp field; (ii) a pill count field; (iii) an image field displaying an image of the pills the user has; (iv) a certification field; and (v) a submit field. On submission, the system can generate an encrypted data file comprising a secret key that de-identifies the user, the image of the pills, and metadata describing conditions associated with the pill count. The system can then transmit the encrypted data file to the server computer system.
