Patent CA-2910365-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for tracking a non-visible structure of a body
Inventor: BECKETT MARTIN GREGORY
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2014-04-24
Abstract: A monitoring system tracks the non-visible structure of a body in three dimensions. A tracker (508) obtains image information of the object and instruments (506) in its vicinity, all bearing 3D tracking markers (504). A controller spatially relates the image information with previously obtained scan data of the object revealing a non- visible structure (612') of the object. For the scan a fiducial reference detectable in the scan is removably attached to a location on the object. The scan data and image information is used by the controller to provide the user with real time information on the relative 3D locations and orientations of the instruments and the non-visible structure of the body. In a further embodiment the monitoring system may be used to model and track the changes in the body itself. In other embodiments, a model of the body and instruments is used to track contemplated actions and warn about possibly inappropriate instrument procedures.

Title: Correlates of efficacy relating to tumor vaccines
Inventor: ROSSI GABRIELA
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 2014-05-15
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for causing the selective targeting and killing of tumor cells. Through a combination of ex vivo gene therapy protocols and cell enchrnent, tumor cells are engineered to express an a (1,3) galactosyl epitope and optionally the tumor associated antigens mesothelin and carcinoembryonie antigen. After administration of the compositions of the invention to patients, the production of increased antibody titers to certain cell-surface markers, including mesothelin, calreticulin, and carcinembryonie antigen (CEA) positively correlates with an increased overall survival.

Abstract: Pulmonary hypertension is a progressive disease of various origins that is associated with vascular remodelling and results in right heart dysfunction. Accumulating evidence indicates important roles of immune cells and inflammatory chemokines in the pathogenesis and progression of pulmonary hypertension. We have identified CCL21 as anti-remodelling efficacy biomarker for pulmonary hypertension. CCL21 was found to be highly sensitive and specific in discriminating pulmonary hypertension patients from matched controls. CCL21 was upregulated in pulmonary hypertension and down-regulated with treatment with an anti- remodelling agent.
