Abstract: The present invention relates to a method aiding in the assessment of rheumatoid arthritis. The method especially is used in assessing the absence or presence of rheumatoid arthritis in vitro. It can be best practiced by analyzing biochemical markers, comprising measuring in a sample the concentration of RF and interleukin-6 and correlating the concentrations determined to the absence or presence of rheumatoid arthritis. To further improve the assessment of RA in a method of this invention the level of one or more additional marker may be determined together with RF and interleukin-6 and be correlated to the absence or presence of RA. The invention also relates to the use of a marker panel comprising RF and interleukin-6 in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and it teaches a kit for performing the method of the invention.

Title: Retinal dystrophin transgene and methods of use thereof
Inventor: GAEDIGK ROGER
IPC: C12N15/63
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscle disease that is caused by severe defects in the dystrophin gene and results in the patient's death by the third decade. The present invention utilizes the Double Mutant mice (DM) as an appropriate human model for DMD as these mice are deficient for both dystrophin and utrophin (mdxl+, utrn -/-), die at 3 months of age and suffer from severe muscle weakness, pronounced growth retardation, kyphosis, weight loss, slack posture, and immobility. Expression from a transgene of novel human retinal dystrophin Dp260 was shown to prevent premature death and reduce the severe muscular dystrophy phenotype to a mild clinical myopathy.  Electromyography, histology, radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and behavior studies concluded that DM transgenic mice grew normally, had normal spinal curvature and mobility, and had reduced muscle pathology. EMG and histologic data from transgenic DM mice showed decreased abnormalities to levels typical of mild myopathy, while the DM mice exhibited severe abnormalities commonly seen in human dystrophinopathies. The transgenic DM  mice also had measurable movement levels comparable to those of untreated mdx mice and controls.

The devices are movable from an elongated, collapsed configuration for delivery to a deployed configuration within the body. Open slots in selected portions of the device telescope as the device moves to its deployed configuration, which causes the associated portions to longitudinally foreshorten and radially expand, while also decreasing in porosity for preventing blood flow. Closed slits in other portions of the device open as the device moves to its deployed configuration, which causes the associated portions to longitudinally foreshorten and radially expand, while remaining open for fluid flow or endothelialization.  The occlusion devices may be either self-supporting or supported by a strut structure. Additionally, the occlusion devices may comprise a plurality of mesh layers having unaligned pore systems which further reduce porosity in desired portions of the deployed configuration.

Title: Eigenvalue decomposition and singular value decomposition of matrices using jacobi rotation
Inventor: KETCHUM JOHN W
IPC: G06F17/16
Filed: 2005-11-15
Abstract: Techniques for decomposing matrices using Jacobi rotation are described.  Multiple iterations of Jacobi rotation are performed on a first matrix of complex values with multiple Jacobi rotation matrices of complex values to zero out the off-diagonal elements in the first matrix. For each iteration, a submatrix may be formed based on the first matrix and decomposed to obtain eigenvectors for the submatrix, and a Jacobi rotation matrix may be formed with the eigenvectors and used to update the first matrix. A second matrix of complex values, which contains orthogonal vectors, is derived based on the Jacobi rotation matrices. For eigenvalue decomposition, a third matrix of eigenvalues may be derived based on the Jacobi rotation matrices. For singular value decomposition, a fourth matrix with left singular vectors and a matrix of singular values may be derived based on the Jacobi rotation matrices.

Title: A head for a peristaltic pump
Inventor: BROWN MICHAEL M
IPC: F04B43/08
Filed: 2006-04-07
Abstract: A head for a peristaltic pump that may be used for delivering ink to a flexographic printing press includes a housing and a roller assembly. The housing is adapted to receive a flexible tube. The housing has a curved wall and a clamp. The clamp secures the flexible tube within the housing. The clamp has an open position and a closed position. The clamp is in the open position when the flexible tube is able to move through an entrance and exit in the housing. The clamp is in the closed position where a first section of the flexible tube is secured in the entrance and a second section of the flexible tube is secured in the exit. The first and second sections are secured where they are not able to be pulled into the housing but are able to gradually slip out of the housing allowing the head to pump in both directions. The roller assembly is rotatable within the housing. The roller assembly rotates about an axis through the housing. The axis is coaxial to the curved wall in the housing. The roller assembly includes at least two compression rollers and at least one guide roller. The compression rollers are peripherally spaced where each of them come successively into contact with the flexible tube during rotation of the roller assembly. Successive compression rollers compress two portions of the flexible tube against the curved wall to confine a finite volume of fluid in the flexible tube. The guide rollers are peripherally spaced between the compression rollers where each of them comes into contact with the flexible tube during rotation of the roller assembly. The guide rollers guide the flexible tube to stay centered with the compression rollers and initiate decompression of the flexible tube to return to a partial compression dimension. Fluid is moved through the flexible tube by rotation of the roller assembly.
