    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating obesity or an obesity-related condition comprising administering an effective amount of soluble (pro)renin receptor (sPRR) to a subject that is obese or having an obesity-related condition. In some instances, obesity-related conditions can be, but are not limited to, steatosis, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, chronic renal disease. Disclosed are methods of reducing body weight comprising administering an effective amount of sPRR to a subject in need thereof. Disclosed are methods of treating fatty liver in a subject comprising administering an effective amount of sPRR to a subject in need thereof. Disclosed are methods of treating a fluid and electrolyte disorder comprising administering an effective amount of sPRR to a subject diagnosed with a fluid and electrolyte disorder.

    Abstract: Catheter devices and methods are disclosed and described. A catheter device (100) can include a longitudinal lumen (104) and having a proximal end (104a) and a distal end (104b). The distal end (104b) is capable of insertion into at least the internal carotid artery. The catheter device (100) can include an occlusion balloon (120b) connected to the distal end (104b) and operable to occlude blood flow in a blood vessel (102) by inflation and deflation using a pressurization fluid. The catheter device (100) can include a pressure sensor (110b) associated with the distal end (104b) and operable to measure blood pressure data from at least one of a downstream (103b) and upstream (103a) location of the occlusion balloon (120b) and transmit the blood pressure data to a controller (150). The occlusion balloon (120b) can be operable to inflate or deflate based on inflation control information. The catheter device (100) can be used to treat cerebral thrombectomy in a subject.

    Abstract: An imaging system that is translucent can be achieved by placing an image sensor (204) at one of more edges or periphery of a translucent window (202). A small fraction of light from the outside scene scatters off imperfections (218) in the translucent window (202) and reach the peripheral image sensor (204). Based on appropriate calibration of the response of point sources (206) from the outside scene, the full scene can be reconstructed computationally from the peripherally scattered light (210, 212). The technique can be extended to color, multi-spectral, light-field, 3D, and polarization selective imaging. Applications can include surveillance, imaging for autonomous agents, microscopy, etc.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for producing mesophasic (between liquid and solid phases) carbon materials from plastic waste. The method and system includes a 2-stage pyrolysis reactor, including first and second pyrolysis stages where a carbon feedstock material is subjected to pyrolysis. The first pyrolysis stage may subject the carbon feedstock material to pyrolysis at a first temperature in a range of 500° C. to 700° C., and the second pyrolysis stage may operate at a second temperature in a range of 800° C. to 1000° C., providing secondary gas phase reactions (SGR). A residence time of the carbon feedstock material in the reactor may be no more than 10 seconds. After pyrolysis and SGR, a sparging and thermal treatment stage may convert pyrolysis tar products to an anisotropic pitch product suitable for use in production of carbon fiber or bulk graphite for use in fabrication of graphite electrodes.
