Abstract: The present invention relates to biodegradable biocompatible polyketals, methods for their preparation, and methods for treating animals by administration of biodegradable biocompatible polyketals. In one aspect, a method for forming the biodegradable biocompatible polyketals comprises combining a glycol-specific oxidizing agent with a polysaccharide to form an aldehyde intermediate, which is combined with a reducing agent to form the biodegradable biocompatible polyketal. The resultant biodegradable biocompatible polyketals can be chemically modified to incorporate additional hydrophilic moieties. A method for treating animals includes the administration of the biodegradable biocompatible polyketal in which biologically active compounds or diagnostic labels can be disposed. The present invention also relates to chiral polyketals, methods for their preparation, and methods for use in chromatographic applications, specifically in chiral separations. A method for forming the chiral polyketals comprises combining a glycol-specific oxidizing agent with a polysaccharide to form an aldehyde intermediate, which is combined with a suitable reagent to form the chiral polyketal. A method for use in chiral separations includes the incorporation of the chiral polyketals in the mobile phase during a chromatographic separation, or into chiral stationary phases such as gels. The present invention further relates to chiral polyketals as a source for chiral compounds, and methods for generating such chiral compounds.

Abstract: One of the major pathophysiological consequences of long term elevation of plasma glucose in diabetes is an increase in the non-enzymatic glycation of proteins. Contrary to expectations the present inventors have determined that individuals with well controlled short duration diabetes have particularly high concentrations of glycated insulin which decrease with increased disease severity and duration of diabetes. Further, a small proportion of apparently normal healthy individuals exhibit high glycated insulin levels in line with expected incidence of diabetes in the population. Methods of predicting the onset of diabetes and for monitoring the progression of diabetes by measuring the concentration of Glycated Insulin and the progression of diabetes are disclosed.

Abstract: A connector for piping including two tubular fitting parts and quick-coupling and quick release connector having a plurality of locking segments circumferentially distributed in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the fitting parts and housed in radial slots of an axial projecting portion of a first fitting part that, during the coupling stage, is superimposable to a corresponding projecting axial portion of the second fitting part. A revolving ring can be controlled to rotate in order to work on the locking segments so as to push them into at least one radial seat of the projecting portion of the second part of a joint or to house them in its own radial seat, respectively for the coupling and the uncoupling of the fitting parts. Two independently operable hydraulic cylinders are arranged substantially at 180° from each other in the rotation plane of the revolving ring and they react, each one, between a first lever fastened to the first fitting part and a second lever fastened to the revolving ring. The first lever is made up of a radially more external part and of a radially more internal part that are connected with each other by an articulation which is modifiable in order to be able to assume a first operating condition for the complete mutual locking of the two parts of the first lever and a second operating condition of consent to the rotation of the radially more external part of the first lever in a direction of approach to the second lever.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling which content gets precedence and is replicated. A replica set is comprised of a set of resources. Each resource is associated with resource data and resource meta-data. For files-based systems, resource data includes file contents and attributes, while resource meta-data includes additional attributes that are relevant for negotiating synchronization during replication. An extra field called a "fence value" is added to the meta-data associated with each resource. During synchronization, first fence values are compared. The resource with the highest fence value includes the content that is controlling and replicated. If fence values are equal (and greater than a particular value), the controlling resource is determined based on other meta-data. <IMAGE>
