Abstract: The present application relates to one or more devices for repairing a cardiac valve. The device(s) can comprise a catheter assembly configured to pass from a remote vasculature of a patient to a position within the heart adjacent the cardiac valve, and at least two maneuverable grasping elements independently translatable through the catheter assembly, the grasping elements being reversibly and radially extendable from the catheter assembly to capture and reposition portions of at least two valve leaflets into an apposed position. The device(s) can further comprise a fastening mechanism translatable through the catheter assembly to secure the stabilized portions of the two valve leaflets, and a capture triggering mechanism including one or more sensors configured to detect the position of the valve leaflets with respect to the grasping elements, where the grasping elements extend in response to an indication that the leaflets are within a predetermined distance therefrom.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une base de données explorable permettant une analyse à vitesse élevée de séquences protéiques. Une caractéristique utile peut être une ontologie simplifiée de la fonction protéique, ce qui permet une exploration de la base de données par fonctions biologiques. Les biologistes conservateurs ont associé les termes ontologiques avec des modèles de Markov cachés (HMM) plutôt qu'avec des séquences individuelles de sorte qu'ils puissent être appliqués à des séquences supplémentaires. Pour assurer une classification fonctionnelle précise, les HMM peuvent être construits non seulement pour des familles, mais aussi pour des sous-familles définies par les conservateurs, dans la mesure où les membres de ces familles présentent des fonctions ou une nomenclature divergentes. Plusieurs alignements de séquences et arbres phylogénétiques incluant des informations attribuées par les conservateurs peuvent être disponibles pour chaque famille. Les diverses versions de cette base de données explorable peuvent comprendre des séquences d'apprentissage provenant de tous les organismes de la base de données de protéines non redondante GenBank, les HMM pouvant être utilisés pour classifier des produits géniques à travers tout le génome de l'homme et de Drosophila melanogaster.
