Abstract: Tests for elevated pH and volatile amines in aqueous fluids are disclosed, including tests useful in the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis and in other biological conditions. By using formulated indicators and indicators held in matrices that are permeable to gas but not to liquid, the tests provide clear and sharp transitions detectable by visual or machine-readable device rather than by subjective judgments such as small gradations in color or olfactory determinations. The tests lend themselves readily to iconic readouts of the test indications and to the inclusion of positive and negative controls.

Abstract: A dynamic MRA study of a subject is performed using a 3D fast gradient-recalled echo pulse sequence that employs a non-selective RF excitation pulse. The frame rate of the resulting series of reconstructed images is increased by sampling a central region of k-space at a higher rate than the peripheral regions of k-space. The acquisition is gated using a cardiac trigger signal and the central region of k-space is acquired during diastole and the peripheral regions of k-space are acquired during systole. Image frames are reconstructed at each sampling of the central k-space region using the temporally nearest samples from the peripheral k-space regions. Two of the image frames are subtracted to form an MR angiogram.

The logs (10) are supported laterally by means of adjacent bottom portions (31, 32) of the chute (3) and shoulders between those. The logs are turned parallel with the longitudinal direction of the chute by means of a moment (M) which occurs when the direction of the main axis (27) of the ellipse forming the shearing surface of the log deviates from the direction (27') perpendicular to a the direct line (30) drawn via the rotating centre (28) of the blade disc and the centre (29) of the ellipse. The bottom portions (31, 32) of the chute are inclined around a longitudinal axis in such a way that from two adjacent bottom portions of the chute, the one (31) further away from the rotating axis of the disc forms a bigger angle ( beta ') with respect to the horizontal plane than the angle ( beta ") formed by the portion (32) closer to the rotating axis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for hydroforming a tubular metal blank has a die structure (12), a hydroforming fluid source, a hydraulically driven tube-end engaging structure (36), a hydraulically driven pressure intensifying structure (110), and a single hydraulic power source (22). The tube-end engaging structure (36) seals opposite ends of the tubular metal blank (T) in said die cavity and is movable to longitudinally compress the tubular metal blank (T). The tube-end engaging structure receives hydroforming fluid from said hydroforming fluid source and has a hydroforming fluid supplying outlet through which hydroforming fluid can be provided to the tubular metal blank. The hydraulically driven pressure intensifying (110) structure is movable to pressurize the hydroforming fluid provided to the interior of the tubular metal blank and thereby expand a diameter of the blank. A single hydraulic power source (22) provides the hydraulic fluid under pressure to said hydraulically driven pressure intensifying structure (110) in order to move the pressure intensifying structure (110) and thereby pressurize the hydroforming fluid provided to the interior of the tubular metal blank and expand the diameter of the tubular metal blank so that its exterior surface conforms to that of the internal die surface. The single hydraulic power source (22) also provides the hydraulic fluid under pressure to the hydraulically driven tube-end engaging structure to enable the tube-end engaging structure (36) to longitudinally compress the tubular metal blank and cause metal material of the diametrically expanded tubular blank to flow longitudinally inwardly in order to replenish a wall thickness of the diametrically expanded tubular metal blank and maintain the wall thickness thereof within a predetermined range.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un ensemble serpentin utilisé pour l'occlusion vasculaire comprenant un serpentin primaire enroulé en hélice pouvant ensuite être enroulé pour adopter une forme secondaire. Un élément résistant à l'allongement s'étend à travers la lumière formée, ledit élément étant fixé au serpentin, directement ou indirectement, à au moins deux endroits. Cet élément est de préférence quelque peu détendu à l'intérieur de la lumière de manière à éviter que le serpentin se rompe, se bloque, et, par conséquent, se raidisse lors de son passage par les courbures à l'intérieur du corps humain. La fonction première de l'élément résistant à l'allongement est d'éviter que le serpentin s'allonge pendant son déplacement, par exemple, par le retrait ou le repositionnement après déploiement. Le dispositif peut prendre par lui-même une forme secondaire à partir d'un serpentin primaire enroulé en hélice, préformé de manière linéaire à l'origine. Ce dispositif est en général introduit dans le corps au moyen d'un cathéter. Il est passé axialememt à travers la gaine du cathéter, ne prenant sa forme secondaire qu'après sa sortie du cathéter.

Abstract: A guiding catheter or angiographic catheter and method of manufacture for use in cardiovascular interventions which incorporates an annealed low-flexibility proximal zone wherein a transition zone separates the proximal zone and a high-flexibility distal zone. The catheter is subjected to a slicking operation to improve the smoothness of the high flexibility distal zone in order to better traverse the aortic arch shape while reducing excess energy storage. The proximal zone is annealed to provide a high level of stiffness for optimal support and pushability. A mid-region zone transitions the high stiffness of the proximal zone to the higher flexibility of the distal zone to eliminate buckling and kinking.
