Systems and methods for contaminant detection within a fluid, ultraviolet treatment and status notification

A fluid-borne (e.g., water, air) biological and chemical hazard detection and treatment system can include sensors (e.g., flow rate, contaminant detectors), treatment using ultraviolet laser-emitted light, can be microprocessor controlled and can communicate and be controlled over data networks. Treatment and detection systems can be deployed at various stages along a fluid distribution system, allowing for protection coverage and redundancy. During treatment, fluid enters into and / or passes through a “treatment area” wherein the fluid is subjected to light emanating from a laser at wavelengths within the ultraviolet range. DNA for microorganisms contained within fluid (including blood) are reactive to laser light as they pass through treatment areas and are rendered un-infective. Treatment systems can be staged in close proximity, providing more than one treatment area and associated light sources to a fluid stream. Such staging can provide for concentrated redundancy prior to its delivery to the intended point of use.

Unit dosage forms for the treatment of herpes simplex

InactiveUS7351715B2Increase successSafe and effective and inexpensiveBiocidePeptide/protein ingredientsDiseaseCell membrane
The components of this invention are chosen because of their complementarity for the prevention or treatment of diseases caused by the herpes simplex virus. L-Lysine favorably increases the physiologic immunomodulation necessary for defense against this virus. Zinc improves and maintains a normal immune response. 2-Deoxy-2-D-glucose and heparin sodium alter the surface interaction between the herpes virus and the cell, preventing fusion and infectivity. N-Acetyl-L-cysteine increases glutathione levels thereby creating a thiol redox barrier to the virus at the cell membrane. Quercetin reduces intraoellular replication of the herpes virus and viral infectivity. Ascorbate, in concert with copper and D-α-tocopherol, provides an antioxidant defense against the herpes virus, which tends to lose latency during period of oxidative, free radical excess. Selenium and quercetin also participate in reducing various oxidative stresses. Together the components of this invention provide the potential for improved resistance to, improved recovery from, and a decreased frequency of recurrence of herpes simplex virus infection.
