Abstract:
Various embodiments are described herein for a Radio-Therapy (RT) system and an associated method and in particular to an integrated radiation source with an MRI system featuring a variable imaging Field Of View (FOV). The FOV can be tailored for various RT-specific applications such as, but not limited to, patient setup verification and real-time tumor tracking, for example, as well as for various imaging volumes of interest.
Abstract:
Hedgehog pathway inhibitors, such as small molecules, are used to prevent, slow, block the formation of cartilage tumors as well as exostosis or enchondromas.
Abstract:

Also provided are devices for the cutaneous delivery of hydrogen.
Abstract:
A system for rehabilitating patients affected by balance disorders with or without vestibular hypofunction and/or malfunction with or without an associated hearing loss, which includes sensors of sound and head movement, processing circuitry, a power source coupled to head phones, an air conduction hearing aid, bone conduction hearing aid, middle ear implant or an electrical stimulator implanted into the cochlea capable of stimulating areas within the cochlea with the potential for current spread to surrounding non- auditory areas including the vestibular system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of novel biomarkers and biomarker combinations having utility in the early determination of an individual's critical and/or life threatening response to illness and/or in predicting outcome of said illness. The measurement of expression levels of the products of the biomarkers and combinations of biomarkers of the invention have utility in making the determination of an individual's critical and/or life threatening response to illness. In some embodiments, the biomarker and biomarker combinations are agnostic and are independent of the pre-identification and/or determination of the cause or nature of the illness. In some embodiments, the biomarkers and biomarker combinations can be utilized to monitor the effectiveness of treatment interventions for an individual who has a critical illness.

Abstract:
The invention relates to modulating the SIRP α - CD47 interaction in order to treat hematological cancer and compounds therefor. In particular, there is also provided SIRP α antibodies and antibody fragments, preferably used for treating hematological cancer.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method and device for apnea and hypopnea detection. In one embodiment, a method is provided for detecting apneas and hypopneas from a digitized breath sound recording acquired from a candidate suspected of sleep apnea. The method comprises scanning an amplitude profile of the digitized breath sound recording to identify a prospect event segment; evaluating characteristics of the prospect event segment for consistency with one or more preset apnea-specific criteria; classifying the prospect event segment as representative of an apnea upon it satisfying each of the one or more apnea-specific criteria; evaluating the prospect event characteristics for consistency with one or more preset hypopnea-specific criteria distinct from the apnea-specific criteria; and classifying the prospect event segment as representative of a hypopnea upon it satisfying each of the one or more hypopnea-specific criteria.
