Abstract: A needle assembly includes an outer cannula having a distal end portion, the distal end portion comprising a sharp bevel facilitating insertion of the needle assembly into a subject. The needle assembly further includes an inner cannula slidably disposed coaxially in the lumen of the outer cannula and movable between an extended position and a retracted position, the inner cannula having a blunt distal end portion extending beyond the sharp bevel of the outer cannula whenever the inner cannula is in the extended position. The needle assembly further includes a bias coupled to the inner cannula in a manner favoring automatic positioning of the inner cannula at the extended position. The needle assembly includes a valve located in fluid communication with the lumen of the inner cannula to allow fluid to exit the subject through the inner cannula, and to prevent ingress of fluid into the subject.

Abstract: Disclosed are monoacylated Toll-like receptor 2 ligands which can be used in both the development of targeted agents for the imaging and treatment of pancreatic cancer as well as other cancers, and as an adjuvant for cancer immunotherapy. The monoacylated compounds disclosed herein have a higher binding affinity for TLR2 relative to a known potent diacylated agonists, but only −½ the bioactivity. Competition of the monoacylated compound with the diacylated compound for binding TLR2 was confirmed. Hence, the reported monoacylated compounds are inhibitors/antagonists of TLR2 activation.

Abstract: Methods are provided for detecting non-human candidate DNA within a plasma sample from a human subject. A method of diagnosing and characterizing a bacterial infection may include the steps of obtaining a plasma sample from a subject suspected of having a bacterial infection, extracting cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the plasma sample, performing whole genome sequencing on the cfDNA to obtain sequencing data, aligning the sequencing data with a human genome to identify human DNA and non-human DNA, removing the human DNA from the sequencing data, assigning the non-human DNA to a candidate pathogen DNA, selecting a subset of the non-human DNA based on a fragment length of the non-human DNA, and determining the presence of the candidate pathogen DNA within the subset of the non-human DNA.

Abstract: A tiled head-mounted display device, comprising: an optical component including a plurality of prisms with free-form surfaces, each prism being a wedge prism comprising a first optical surface, a second optical surface and a third optical surface; and a display component including a plurality of micro-displays, wherein the number of the micro-displays and the number of the prisms with free-form surfaces is identical. The tiled head-mounted display device according to the present invention is compact and light, provides wide field of view and high resolution, especially for the optical tiling head-mounted display device, the exit pupil planes of each display channels are coincident, thus avoiding pupil aberration and keeping exit pupil diameter and eye clearance same as the single ocular. There is no resolution variance throughout the entire field of view, thus preventing extra trapezoid distortion. The tiled head-mounted display device according to the present invention can be readily applicable to augmented environments applications by simply adding an auxiliary free-form lens behind the free-form prism.

Abstract: The present invention provides hTERT modulators and methods for producing and using the same. In particular, the present invention provide a compound of the formula as described herein. Some aspects of the invention are based on the characterization of the effect of hTERT core promoter region mutants on the 5-12 G-quadruplex structure and its stability. It is believed that some of the compounds of the invention bind selectively to the G-quadruplex in the hTERT core promoter mutant, which results in reversal of the effect of mutant promoter activation.
