Abstract: A method for securing a spacer to an implant integrated in bone. A spacer and a screw are engaged with a holder in a rotationally fixed position with respect to the holder. The spacer is engaged in a spacer engaging portion of the holder and the screw is engaged in a screw engaging portion of the holder. The screw is inserted in a threaded receiving passage of the implant such that threads on the screw engage threads of the receiving passage. A rotational motion is applied to the holder, thereby rotating the rotationally fixed spacer and screw and screwing the screw into the receiving passage of the implant. A cooperation between a bearing surface of the spacer and a top surface of the implant is established at a predetermined position of screwing. The holder is separated from the spacer and the screw.

Abstract: The invention provides an interactive short messaging service (SMS) in which the short messaging service provider (SMP) stores short messages as content short messages (CSMs) which CSMs are then stored in a short messages menu (SMM). A user dials up the desired SMM, the SMP downloads the SMM and immediately terminates the call. The user now has a menu which may lead directly to CSMs which can be contacted directly or which can be a list of further SMMs. For example, the first SMM downloaded could be airline arrivals from one airport and on being downloaded could list all airlines servicing that airport each with a unique contact number i.e. a further SMM. The user clicks onto the desired airline from this SMM. A second CSM is downloaded in this case the times of arrivals of all that airline's flights that day. This may be sufficient for the user. The time taken for the two calls is minimal. The advantage is that it overcomes the problems inherent in present SMSs. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical filter having a wide tuning range and a method of making the same. A fiber Bragg grating member (408) having a selected grating pitch is coupled to a plurality of actuating members such as Shape Memory Alloys (406A-406F). A current source or thermal source is included for providing a controlled amount of current or heat so as to cause a change in the length of the actuating members. The length of the fiber Bragg grating member is accordingly changed also. The grating pitch is correspondingly altered, thereby causing a change in the Bragg resonance wavelength of the grating. In response, a reflected optical signal selected from incoming multiplexed optical signals tunes to a different wavelength. A closed-loop controller is provided for controlling energy inputs to the actuating members to modulate the tuning of the reflected optical signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods for treating treating fibrosis in a mammal are described. An antifibrotic effective amount of a peptide having the formula f-Met-Leu-X where X is selected from the group consisting of Tyr, Tyr-Phe, Phe-Phe and Phe-Tyr is administered to the mammal. The fibrosis may be due to pathological changes resulting, e.g., from pulmonary fibrosis, atherosclerosis, cirrhosis, glomerulosclerosis, chronic pancreatitus, coronary artery disease (such as caused by infection by bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae), trauma or surgical procedures. Examples of surgical procedures that cause fibrosis are post-operative fibrosis peri-neurally in the dura or nerve roots following spinal surgery, tenolysis of injured or repaired tendons with adhesions, neurolysis of damaged or repaired peripheral nerves with adhesions, post-operative adhesions from gynecologic and abdominal surgeries, reparative surgery of the vas deferens or fallopian tubes for reversal of male or female sterilization, and surgical repair of other tubular structures such as urethra, intestine or esophagus.

Abstract: An improved holder, system and method for implanting a tissue-type prosthetic heart mitral valve that constricts the commissure posts of the valve and allows the user to detach the handle of the holder prior to withdrawing the holder itself. The ability to remove the handle allows a surgeon greater access to suturing the prosthetic valve to the mitral annulus. The holder may include two relatively movable plates, one of which attaches to the valve sewing on the inflow end of the valve ring and the other which attaches via sutures to the valve commissures on the outflow end. Separation of the plates places the sutures in tension and constricts the commissures. An adjusting member or adapter is interposed between the handle and holder to enable separation of the two plates and removal of the handle. The adjusting member or adapter may be packaged with the valve and holder combination, or may be sold as a separate unit, possibly with the handle, so that prior art holders can be retrofit. Removable storage and handling clips secure the holder and heart valve assembly within a storage jar during transportation. A kit of a number of identical storage and handling clips and holders for different diameter tissue-type prosthetic heart valves may be provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of pathological angiogenesis and arteriogenesis and, in particular, to a stress-induced phenotype in a transgenic mouse (PIGF-/-) that does not produce Placental Growth Factor (PIGF) and that demonstrates an impaired vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-dependent response. PIGF deficiency has a negative influence on diverse pathological processes of angiogenesis, arteriogenesis and vascular leakage comprising ischemic retinopathy, tumor formation, pulmonary hypertension, vascular leakage (edema formation) and inflammatory disorders. The invention thus relates to molecules that can inhibit the binding of PIGF to its receptor (VEGFR-1), such as monocloncal antibodies and tetrameric peptides, and to the use of these molecules to treat the above-mentioned pathological processes.
