Inventor: WILLIAMS RICHARD B
IPC: G01N33/566
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: This invention relates to methods and reagents for selecting a desired protein or nucleic acid molecule by linking mRNA, with known or unknown sequences, to its translated protein to form a cognate pair. The cognate pair is selected based upon desired properties of the protein or the nucleic acid. This method also includes the evolution of a desired protein or nucleic acid molecule by amplifying the nucleic acid portion of the selected cognate pair, introducing variation into the nucleic acid, translating the nucleic acid, attaching the nucleic acid to its protein to form a second cognate pair, and re-selecting this cognate pair based upon desired properties.

Abstract: The invention concerns a novel method for in vitro diagnosis and/or prognosis of prostatic cancer from a cell sample of prostatic origin non-invasively collected in urine or slightly invasively via a biopsy needle. The method consists in looking for chromosomal alterations detected by allelic losses, from DNA extracts of cells of prostatic origin, on at least one chromosomal region. The invention also concerns a kit for implementing said method and the use of such a kit for feeding a database assembling patients' phenotypic and genotypic data, and for monitoring an anticancer treatment.

Abstract: A compressible hearing aid includes an exterior deformable skin which bounds an internal region which is filled, at least in part, with an open-cell foam, the foam can be wrapped around or molded to contain an audio output transducer. The skin is not self-supporting and in response to applied forces from user's ear canal, the skin and the foam both deform and readily compress exhibiting a reduced volume. Though compressed, the foam exerts an outward force against the skin thereby continuing to form an elongated seal between the skin and the external periphery of the user's dynamically changing ear canal. As the volume of the ear canal increases, the skin and open-cell foam expand, exhibiting an increased internal volume, while maintaining a comfortable seal with the ear canal. A plurality of external ribs carried on the skin not only reduces feedback but promotes drying of the ear canal and promotes retention of the hearing aid in the ear canal.
