Patent AT-E403860-T1 (AT)
Inventor: WARD W
IPC: G01N27/30

Abstract: The invention provides an electrochemical sensor system for measuring analyte concentrations in a fluid sample. The invention is particularly useful for measuring analytes such as glucose in a patient. An implantable glucose sensor includes a disc-shaped sensor body containing multiple anodes on opposing sides of the sensor body. Electrodes including an anode and a cathode are connected to a transmitter which transmits radio signals to an external receiver and computer where data is processed to yield glucose concentration figures. An enzyme layer coating the anodes specifically reacts with glucose to increase signals generated by the anodes in response to the presence of glucose. In an alternate embodiment, some of the anodes are coated with the enzyme to generate a first signal, and other anodes that are not coated generate a second signal for comparison with the first signal to eliminate effects of interfering substances on the accuracy of the glucose measurement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety circuit for controlling a hydraulic drive (10) with a drive part (12) movable in at least two different directions of movement and controllable for any movement  by a control switching circuit. A safety circuit which ensures the required safety function in an absolutely safe manner, even in the event of a power failure, is obtained in that at least one safety switching circuit is hydraulically combined with the control switching circuit in such a manner that when the latter is switched off the drive part (12) can only be controlled by the respective safety switching circuit. Consequently, the highest-priority operation provided in an emergency, for example in the form of the defined closing or opening of a vapour control valve, is safely executed and the otherwise usual control process is interrupted by the control switching circuit.

Abstract: A composition for immunohistochemical staining which contains a diagnostic marker comprising an antibody bound with a fluorescent functional group, together with a substance selected from the group consisting of a glycerophospholipid, a fatty acid, and a surfactant consisting of a saccharide derivative. The composition has excellent fluorescence intensity and does not cause problems of damaging living tissues and DNAs due to irradiation by ultraviolet light, and hence is useful for in vivo immunohistochemical staining. For example, it enables efficient and safe quasi-internal early diagnosis of malignant neoplasia of epithelial tissues such as esophagus cancer, stomach cancer, and large bowel cancer by using infrared ray endoscope and other, or identification and diagnosis of lesions during surgical operation.

Abstract: This invention provides methods for detecting cancers and for evaluating the prognosis of cancer patients. In particular, the methods of this invention utilize YKL-40 as a marker for the presence or absence of a cancer and for the prognosis (e.g. likelihood of recurrence) of a cancer. Elevated levels of YKL-40 are indicative of the presence of a cancer in undiagnosed subjects and indicate likely recurrence of the cancer in subjects diagnosed as having a cancer.
