Proteins associated with cell differentiation

Abstract: The invention provides human proteins involved in cell differentiation (CDIFF) and polynucleotides which identify and encode CDIFF. The invention also provides expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, agonists, and antagonists. The invention also provides methods for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disorders associated with expression of CDIFF.

Cytoreductive treatment patterns among US veterans with polycythemia vera.

Abstract: Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm associated with increased thrombotic and cardiovascular risk, which are key contributors to patient morbidity and mortality. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is the largest integrative health network in the United States. Available data concerning patients with PV in this population are limited. This retrospective observational study evaluated the characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients with PV in the VHA Medical SAS® Dataset (October 1, 2005, to September 30, 2012). Inclusion criteria were ≥ 2 claims for PV (ie, PV diagnostic code was recorded) ≥30 days apart during the identification period, age ≥ 18 years, and continuous health plan enrollment from ≥12 months before the index date until the end of follow-up. All data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis included 7718 patients (median age, 64 years; male, 98%; white, 64%). The most common comorbidities before the index date were hypertension (72%), dyslipidemia (54%), and diabetes (24%); 33% had a history of smoking. During the follow-up period (median, 4.8 years), most patients did not receive treatment with cytoreductive therapy, including phlebotomy (53%), or antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin (57%). The thrombotic and cardiovascular event rates per 1000 patient-years were 60.5 and 83.8, respectively. Among patients who received cytoreductive treatment, the thrombotic event rate was 48.9 per 1000 patient-years. The overall mortality rate was 51.2 per 1000 patient-years. The notable rates of thrombotic and cardiovascular events observed in this analysis, even among patients receiving cytoreductive treatment, highlight the important unmet clinical needs of patients with PV in the VHA.

Composition for detection of genes encoding membrane-associated proteins

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a plurality of polynucleotide sequences. The composition can be used as probes or array elements.

Dosing methods for beta-D-2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydro-5-fluorocytidine antiviral therapy

Abstract: The disclosed invention is a composition for and a method of treating a HIV infection in a host, such as a human, using a single, once a day, oral dose of β-D-D4FC in an enteric-coated tablet. The enterically coated β-D-D4FC increases the amount of the drug that remains in active form for use in inhibiting the HIV virus in vivo.

Human tumor-associated antigen

Abstract: The present invention provides a human tumor-associated antigen (PRAT) and polynucleotides which identify and encode PRAT. In addition, the invention provides expression vectors and host cells, agonists, antibodies, and antagonists. The invention also provides methods for treating disorders associated with the expression of PRAT.
