An efficient method and apparatus to receive broadcasted emergency alerts using portable handheld devices or mobile devices that are operable to provide a user with relevant alerts based on the user's relevant position, in a low-powered, always-on manner are presented. Using the always on partitions of both the receiver and the system on chip (SOC) of a mobile device, embodiments of the present invention are capable of determining whether or not the remainder of the circuits of a mobile device need to be powered on in order to record audio data associated with an alert, when the alert is received. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention are operable for displaying these alerts in a manner such that a user is notified that a relevant alert has been received and placing the user in a position where the user must address the alert notification and take appropriate action.

The present invention provides a means for prevention and treatment of sarcopenia by administration of a substance that both reduces the sensibility of beta-adrenergic receptors and of 5-HT1a receptors. (S)-pindolol, (S)-propanol, tertalol, or bopindolol are preferred for this purpose.

Compositions and methods for the culturing, propagation, cryopreservation and manipulation of neural progenitor cells (NPC) and pluripotent stem cells (PSC) are provided. The cells exhibit rapid doubling times and can be maintained in vitro for extended periods. Also provided is a method of propagating neural progenitor cells, and a method of transplanting human NPC and / or PSC to a host. The cells can be genetically modified to express a therapeutic agent prior to the transplanting.

The present invention relates to a composition and method for preventing or inhibiting biofilm formation on biotic or abiotic surfaces. The composition comprises a peptide based on the C-terminal receptor binding domain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa type IV pilin, which binds to an abiotic surface (e.g., steel, plastic) with high affinity and prevents binding of a variety of P. aeruginosa strains to the surface. The inventive composition represents a non-toxic inhibitor for biofilm formation, particularly on an abiotic surface, which is responsible for a large number of problematic diseases and massive economic losses. The inventive method is useful as a safe and environmentally friendly means of modifying a surface of a variety of biomedical, nanotechnological, and biotechnological devices or articles.

An extended release oral dosage form comprising as active substance tacrolimus or a pharmaceutically active analogue thereof for a once daily immunosuppressive treatment of a patient in need thereof, preferable a kidney or liver transplant patient. The dosage form releases the active substance over an extended period of time. It also provides improved pharmacokinetic parameters due to an extended and constant in vivo release including substantial decreased peak concentrations, despite increased bioavailability, substantial extended times for maximal concentration, and higher minimal concentrations when compared with conventional immediate release dosage forms and a recent modified release tacrolimus dosage form.

The invention relates to in vitro methods for differentiating mammalian pluripotent stem cells into cells displaying a neuronal phenotype, more particularly into cortical-type neurons including inter alia pyramidal neurons and cortical inhibitory interneurons. The invention further encompasses so-obtained neuronal cells and cell population, compositions comprising such, and further uses of said neuronal cells and cell population.

A lane departure warning system (LDWS) installed on vehicles is revealed. The LDWS includes a camera that captures road images and the data of images is sent to an electronic control unit (ECU) for processing and recognition. The ECU is directly connected with a global positioning system (GPS) that provides vehicle speed signals so as to check whether dangerous driving occurs. Once the dangerous driving occurs, a warning unit is turned on to send an alert. The conventional LDWS that complicatedly connects with vehicles parts such as turn signal lights or speedometers is replaced by connection with a GPS. Thus the convenience of installation of LDWS in vehicles is improved.

The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparation, particularly discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia and a preparation method and application thereof. The traditional Chinese medicine composition comprises the following raw materials: codonopsis pilosula, stir-fried rhizoma atractylodis macrocephalae, rhizoma pinellinae praeparata, poria cocos, pericarpium citri reticulatae, hedyotis diffusa, mica atba, rhizoma curcumae and radix curcumae; the preparation method comprises the steps of water extraction, alcohol precipitation, spray drying and addition of auxiliary materials, therefore various preparations are obtained, and the functions of invigorating spleen, supplementing qi, regulating qi-flowing for harmonizing stomach, and improving and resisting gastric mucosal atrophy and intestinal metaplasia are achieved, besides, the invention further discloses the application of the traditional Chinese medicine composition to preparation of drugs used for treating chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia.
