Patent CA-2499470-A1 (CA)
Title: Animal immunocontraceptives expressed in plants and uses thereof
Inventor: KITTO G BARRIE
IPC: A01H1/00
Filed: 2003-09-17
Abstract: The present invention provides immunocontraceptive vaccines comprising a genetically engineered plant that has been modified to produce the sperm-specific protein lactate dehydrogenase-C (LDH-C). When animals such as rodents eat this plant, their immune systems produce antibodies that attack their sperms. Not only would the males have less viable sperm, the females would also have antibodies to sperm entering their reproductive systems.  Immunocontraception is an attractive method for reducing the population size of animals with high fecundity, and sterilizing animals using such immunocontraceptives can reduce targeted animal populations to acceptable levels in an efficient, cost-effective, humane and, importantly, a species-specific manner.

Abstract: Selected sulfonic acids, their derivatives and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds are useful in inhibiting the chernotactic activation of neutrophils (PMN leukocytes) induced by the interaction of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) with CXCRI and CXCR2 membrane receptors. The compounds are used for the prevention and treatment of pathologies deriving from said activation.  Notably, the selected sulfonic acids and their derivativas are devoid of cyclo-oxygenase inhibition activity and are particularly useful in the treatment of neutrofil-dependent pathologies such as psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, melanoma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bullous pemphigoid, rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic fibrosis, glomerulonephritis and in the prevention and treatment of damages caused by ischemia and reperfusion.
Patent CA-2516380-A1 (CA)
Title: Risk management
Inventor: TSALAKOPOULOS CHRIS
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2004-02-19
Abstract: A risk management process is provided that has steps of defining a risk by providing: (a) a descriptive title; (b) a risk impact value; and (c) a likelihood value. (a), (b), and (c) are then set as a first set of initial conditions for the risk. A node for the risk is then established with the first set of initial conditions associated therewith. Steps 1 and 2 are then repeated on a possible further risk. If the initial conditions obtained are not identical with the initial conditions of the node the descriptive titles are compared and if the descriptive titles are not identical, a further node is established with initial conditions determined for that possible further risk. If the descriptive titles are identical, both the impact values and the likelihood values are compared and if one of those impact or likelihood values is identical, the initial conditions of that possible further risk are associated with the risk node. If neither of the impact values and likelihood values is identical, then an additional risk node is established with the initial conditions for that risk as initially determined for that possible further risk. The established nodes permit identification of the risks, and the subsequent tracking of the risks.
