Title: System and method for synthesizing leads of an electrocardiogram
Inventor: SCHRECK DAVID M
IPC: A61B5/308
Filed: 2003-04-28
Abstract: A method for synthesizing electrocardiogram leads includes obtaining a sequence of voltage-time measurements for a set of electrocardiogram leads a nd subjecting the measurements to abstract factor analysis to obtain a set of eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors. A minimal subset of electrocardiogr am leads is identified from which the voltage-time measurements can be calculat ed with acceptable error. Simplex optimization is performed on a subset of the voltage-time measurements measured with the minimal subset of electrocardiogram leads to obtain a universal transformation matrix, and the universal transformation matrix is multiplied by the subset of the voltage- time measurements to calculate the full set of voltage-time measurements. Th e full set of leads can be used to calculate a body surface map, and the eigenvalues can be tracked in time to predict the onset of pathology such as myocardial infarction.

Inventor: PRUSSAK CHARLES E
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2003-05-23
Abstract: The present invention provides for an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric CD154, comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding an extracellular subdomain of non-human CD154, preferably murine CD154, that replaces a cleavage site of human CD154, and a second nucleotide sequence encoding an extracellular subdomain of human CD154 that binds to a human CD154 receptor. The first nucleotide sequence preferably further encodes an extracellular subdomain of non~human CD154 that is critical for expression of said CD154 by cells, such as human CD40+ cells, and another extracellular domain that detects expression of the chimeric CD154 by binding to anti-murine antibodies. The second nucleotide sequence preferably further encodes an extracellular subdomain of human CD154 to which functionally inhibitory anti-CD154 antibodies bind. The present invention also provides for the chimeric CD154 that is encoded by the above-described polynucleotide sequence, an expression vector and a genetic vector comprising the polynucleotide sequence, a host cell comprising the expression vector or the genetic vector, a process for producing the chimeric CD154, and methods for utilizing the expression vectors and genetic constructs containing the chimeric CD154 polynucleotide sequences.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une agrafe chirurgicale comprenant un composant d'agrafe et un élément de fixation utilisée dans un éventail de procédures chirurgicales. L'agrafe peut être présentée à un emplacement chirurgical en condition non montée par un petit orifice ou un trocart. Un applicateur de l'agrafe comportant une paire de canaux opposés de type mâchoire est mis en place et applique le composant d'agrafe et l'élément de fixation. Le composant d'agrafe est placé autour d'un tissu cible et est comprimé ou maintenu sur le tissu en utilisant seulement la force exigée pour un procédé chirurgical spécifique tel que l'occlusion, la ligature ou la fixation. Quand le composant d'agrafe est correctement appliqué, l'élément de fixation est sollicité vers avant et au dessus du composant d'agrafe afin de fixer l'agrafe. Le composant d'agrafe peut inclure des dispositifs de perfectionnement de traction tels que des interruptions, des bosses, des creux et des arêtes extérieures. Avec l'agrafe de l'invention, la force exigée pour resserrer ou occlure le tissu est séparée de la force requise pour fixer et maintenir l'agrafe en position et, en conséquence, le tissu corporel n'est pas trop comprimé et l'alimentation au tissu corporel est maintenue. D'autres aspects de l'invention incluent des applicateurs d'agrafe actionnés par pouce pour la laparoscopie manuelle (HAL). Dans un mode de réalisation, un applicateur d'agrafe comprend une poignée et un mécanisme actionné par le pouce employé pour libérer de façon coulissante des agrafes sur un tissu ou un vaisseau corporel en glissant le mécanisme actionné par le pouce en avant et en arrière avec une seule main. Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, une agrafe à deux étages comporte un composant de pince et un composant d'agrafe afin de fixer la pince après qu'elle ait été correctement placée.
