Title: Assay for anti transglutaminase antibodies
Inventor: ACEVEDO CASTRO BORIS ERNESTO
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2001-05-31
Granted: 2009-08-25
Abstract: A non-instrumental assay for the diagnosis of celiac disease based on the general immunochromatographic assay principles. The assay is rapid and simple and allows the reliable detection of anti transglutaminase antibodies, of both IgA and IgG isotype, in samples of human serum, plasma or blood, using as tracer the antigen transglutaminase conjugated to a colored substance, like colloidal gold or colored latex particles. The conjugated antigen is deposited onto an inert fibrous support, from where it can be released by a liquid sample. The antibodies in the sample react with the conjugated antigen developing an immunocomplex that migrates through a carrier membrane, like nitrocellulose or nylon with a pore size that allows a laminar flow of the reagents, until it reacts with the same antigen transglutaminase immobilized onto a reactive zone of the membrane. As a consequence of this reaction the immunocomplex will be trapped in the reaction site and a colored signal will be seen. Therefore a visually detectable signal in the reactive zone of the membrane indicates a positive result for the detection of anti transglutaminase antibodies in the sample.

Title: Catheter
Inventor: WITTENBERGER DAN
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2000-04-27
Granted: 2008-08-05
Abstract: A catheter for ablating tissue, for example to treat a cardiac arrhythmia, includes a handle, a shapeable shaft and a distal ablation segment. The shaf t retains a first position until manipulated to a further position with the application of moderate manual pressure. The shaft incorporates plastically deformable elements and is shapeable to conform to an insertion path or the particular anatomy of a patient for accessing a site to be ablated. Once shaped, the shaft retains its shape as the catheter is inserted or manipulat ed to the predetermined tissue treatment location and the distal segment is urg ed into contact with the tissue site. A deflection mechanism may be provided to facilitate navigation to, or to deflect the ablation segment into conformal contact with, the tissue target. In a further or alternative embodiment, a second or auxiliary shaft member extends distally from the ablation segment, allowing the segment to be threaded by or pulled past occluding tissue to a remote target tissue site. By gripping the end of the second shaft, the flexible ablation segment may be either tensioned or pulled inward against, or flexed and pushed outward against a treatment site, such as a region of the posterior epicardial wall, thus providing more effective contact for a broad range of dispositions and tissue orientations. In another embodiment, a thermal shield extends over a portion of the ablation segment, shielding adjacent tissue from damage while still effectively exposing the target tiss ue to ablation energy. The shield may be rotated or moved axially to delimit an area of cryogenic contact and achieve better protection of surrounding tissu e structures in occluded or remote treatment target regions.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for testing the quality of reclaimable waste paper matter containing contaminants such as brown cardboard or colored plastic bag fragments employ image data analysis techniques to provide quality indication data useful for establishing reclaimed pulp process parameters. Polychromatic light directed onto an inspected area the matter is sensed following reflection thereon to generate color image pixel data representing values of color components within a color space for pixels forming an image of the inspected area. The image data is processed by comparison with color classification data related to one or more contaminants, to identify the pixels likely to be associated with the presence of the contaminant in the inspected area. The classification color data is derived from statistical distribution through Bayesian estimation of a probability that each said pixel be associated with the presence of each contaminant. A selection of remaining image pixel data associated with pixels likely to be not associated with the contaminants is made, and luminance-related data are generated from the remaining image pixel data to provide an indication of the quality of the reclaimable waste paper matter.
