Jane Chen designed a low-cost incubator for premature and low-birth-weight babies in developing countries and rural areas that lack reliable electricity. The incubator uses phase-change materials like wax that melt at human body temperature to keep the incubator consistently warm for up to 12 hours without power. Chen aims to reduce infant mortality rates globally by providing an affordable and portable warming device for vulnerable newborns where modern incubators are not available or practical.

Alberto Cairo runs a prosthetics center in Afghanistan. He tells the story of Mahmoud, a man who came to the center lacking an arm and legs. Through Alberto's encouragement and repairs to his prosthetics, Mahmoud was able to start a successful job. Mahmoud's success showed Alberto that people with disabilities could be independent and productive if given opportunities. The center now provides jobs, training, and new programs to empower people like Mahmoud and change perceptions about disability.
Josh Silver demos adjustable liquid-filled eyeglasses that can change focus through external stimuli. The global need for vision correction is around 25% of the population. Current options for vision correction like eyeglasses are not widely distributed. Silver developed a process to make liquid-filled lenses that can change focus through applied pressure, with the goal of making vision correction more accessible worldwide. He hopes to continue improving the technology and establish an organization to distribute it globally.
Evan Williams discusses how he came to found Twitter and his realization that listening to Twitter users was key to the platform's success. When he became CEO of ODEO, he shifted its focus to a side project Jack Dorsey had created called Twitter. While initially intended as a messaging service, Williams noticed users sharing real-time updates and found this emergent use more compelling. As Twitter grew, he learned the importance of following where users lead rather than imposing his own visions.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Dennis Hong: Making a car for blind drivers
http://www.ted.com
Dennis Hong
PARAGRAPH 1 : Many believe driving is an activity...
What do most people think is impossible?
Dennis Hong and his team are trying to build what?
PARAGRAPH 2 : So before I talk about this car for the blind...
Professor Hong’s team won 3rd place in the DARPA challence because they built what kind of car?
What kind of vehicle did the NFB want?
PARAGRAPH 3: So to test this crazy idea...
Who came and drove the prototype?
What was the limitation of the prototype?
2. PARAGRAPH 4 : So with this success...
What was the next big step?
What two kinds of units did Dennis use to estimate the location of the car?
What did they use to find the lanes of the road?
What is the purpose of the 3 laser range finders?
PARAGRAPH 5 : So all this vast amount of information...
The computer does two things...p___________ the information and c_____________ the information to
the driver.
What problem did the team have to overcome?
PARAGRAPH 6 : Now the first interface is called a DriveGrip...
What does the vibration in the knuckles of DriveGrip tell the driver?
What does the vibration in SpeedStrip tell the driver?
Why did the researchers add red LED lights?
3. PARAGRAPH 7 : So these two devices, DriveGrip and SpeedStrip...
Do DriveGrip and SpeedStrip work well?
What is the problem with these two technologies?
How can blind people “see” the road with AirPix?
What do blind people use first to learn how to drive with AirPix?
PARAGRAPH 8 : So just a month ago...
When and where did Dennis’ team debut their car for the blind?
PARAGRAPH 9 : There's the grandstand now...
Was Mark able to go around the boxes?
Was he able to safely pass the van?
How was Mark feeling?
4. PARAGRAPH 10 : DH: So since we started this project...
What does Dr. Hong say to the people who are really worried about the idea of blind people driving on
the road?
PARAGRAPH 11 : But still, will the society...
What questions is Dr. Hong believe still need answers?
Is Dr. Hong’s research only important for blind people?
Where could AirPix and the other technology the team has developed be useful besides in a car?
