Abstract: Accurate and repeatable patient alignment with a charged-particle beam of a radiation beam therapy system, such as a proton beam delivery system, is provided. The patient is immobilized within a form-fit patient pod. Reference radiographs are prepared that are used for repositioning the patient within the pod on subsequent occasions. CT scan data of a particular tissue volume of interest, such as a region of the patient wherein a cancerous tumor is located, is obtained while the patient remains in the pod. The CT scan data is used to prepare a treatment plan for the patient. The treatment plan includes identifying an isocenter within the tissue volume at which the beam is to be directed from a selected angle(s). A computer simulation of the treatment plan may be performed to optimize the treatment plan, i.e., to help identify the number of beams and treatment angles that will best irradiate the cancerous cells. Once the treatment plan is finalized, the patient is repositioned within the pod and a physical simulation of the treatment plan is carried out to verify that the selected cancerous cells will be properly irradiated. Finally, the treatment plan is carried out by irradiating the cancerous cells with the charged-particle beam in accordance with the treatment plan.

Abstract: A hemodialysis system has a blood circuit and a hemofiltrate circuit interconnected at a hemofilter and an air collection chamber. If an infusion of sterile fluid to the returning blood is needed during the dialysis treatment, filtrate in the filtrate circuit is pumped back into the blood circuit. This is also done to purge the blood circuit of blood and return it to the patient at the conclusion of a dialysis treatment. A blood pump in the blood circuit incorporates a flexible vessel in conjunction with pinch valves which self expand in a controlled manner from a compressed condition to fill with blood from the patient in a suction stroke controlled by the patient's blood delivery rate. Compression of the vessel by an external member then forces the blood through the rest of the blood circuit.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for measuring glucose tolerance in a subject. The methods are useful in a variety of contexts, such as in the diagnosis of diabetes in both human and animal subjects, in assessing gastric emptying times, and even in the diagnosis of insulin resistance. It is proposed that the methods of the present invention will prove to be of particular use in the mass screenings of population, e.g., in screening for type II diabetes mellitus, due to its simplicity and reproducibility. The method is even adaptable to simple finger stick analysis. The invention method includes the use of a potable beverage containing a low total loading dose of glucose in a low osmolar solution. The oral glucose solutions of the present invention empty rapidly from the stomach, thereby eliminating the nausea and vomiting typically associated with oral glucose tolerance tests. The oral glucose solutions of the present invention provide a provide excellent reproducibility of results and a distinct separation between nondiabetic and diabetic subjects, thereby enabling clinicians to better diagnose diabetes in a subject.

Abstract: An easy open flexible bag preferably containing one or more stacks of flexible articles which are maintained in a state of compression in a direction substantially parallel to their thickness. For products such as disposable absorbent baby diapers, catamenial pads, incontinent briefs and the like, the degree of compression within the bag may be as much as 50% or more when compared to the uncompressed thickness of the stack of articles in question. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the bag totally encloses the stack or stacks of compressed flexible articles and exhibits a substantially rectilinear shape. The bag preferably includesa longitudinally oriented carrying handle which is formed indepenently of the bag. The opposed ends of the carrying handle are preferably secured to bag's side panels. The side panels and the front and back panels of the bag are subject to tension imposed by the stack of compressed flexible articles. A predetermined line of weakness spanning a tensioned side wall of the bag is provided and functions as an easy opening system. The easy opening system is so positioned on the side panel of the bag that when the package is opened, the carrying handle remains attached to the bag and fully functional. The easy opening system allows the compressive forces acting upon the flexible articles contained in the bag to be partially relaxed when the easy open feature is activated by the end user. Partial separation or complete removal of a portion of the tensioned side panel of the bag allows the coinciding portion of the stack of compressed articles to project in fan-like array through the aperture thus created to permit easy one-at-a-time removal.

The socket (1), which allows frequent plug-in cycles with low insertion forces, comprises a contact spring support having two supporting walls (2, 3) which are essentially parallel to one another. Said walls (2, 3) are fitted, preferably on both inner sides, in each case with one row of contact springs (4) which are domed in such a manner that a gap (5) is formed by the domes which point towards one another, which gap (5) expands elastically when a flat contact pin is inserted, thus making contact. The ends (6, 7) of each contact spring (4) are bent around towards one another on the outside of the associated supporting wall (2, 3). The two supporting walls (2, 3) are connected to one another via a lateral wall (12) which determines the distance between them. A bearing wall (14) which bounds the insertion gap (5) for the flat contact pins is provided on the edges (13) of the supporting walls (2, 3) which are placed on the lateral wall (12).
