About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

HpVac reports positive effects of its lead compound HpVac-R13 in a murine model of allergic asthma following oral administration

- Study results indicate beneficial effects on airway hyperresponsiveness, remodeling and inflammation

Geneva, Switzerland, March 27, 2023 – HpVac SA, a company developing novel preventive and therapeutic first-line therapies against allergic and inflammatory diseases, today announced positive results of its lead compound HpVac-R13 on airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in a murine model of allergic asthma.

At present, there is no cure for allergic asthma. The most common way to prevent attacks is to either avoid exposure to the allergen or undergo desensitization, a tedious and often ineffective procedure. In severe cases, patients may receive antibodies against multiple targets. HpVac´s therapeutic concept is based on the observation that certain components of the human gut microbiome confer protection against various diseases. The Company´s lead compound HpVac-R13 is a recombinant version of a naturally occurring immunomodulatory protein and is uniquely associated with strong epidemiologic evidence of protecting humans against asthma and other allergic diseases.

The new study of orally administered HpVac-R13 in a murine model of acute allergic asthma, using mice allergic to house dust mite (HDM), reveals that treatment with HpVac-R13 prevents the detrimental effects of HDM challenge on lung function in a dose-dependent manner and prevents lung airway remodeling. These results confirm the previous results obtained by i.p. injection.

"These are very pleasing and exciting results," said Dr. Jeffrey Shaw, CEO of HpVac. "They show for the first time that HpVac is active by oral administration, confirm the effect of HpVac-R13 in preventing asthma attacks, and reveal that HpVac-R13 also inhibits the remodeling of respiratory airways. Simply put, sensitized mice that received our molecule had improved lung function as compared to untreated mice and became much more resistant to asthmatic attacks. This is a very important outcome, and we will further study the background of this effect while proceeding with our future clinical plans."

"The unexpectedly important effects on airway remodeling suggest that future studies aimed at evaluating the potential of our compound in other fibrotic diseases and on epithelial barrier function should be considered," said Dr. Dr. Joana Vitte, CSO of HpVac.
