Title: Method of diagnosing cancer comprising detection of the methylation signature in the htert promoter
Inventor: CASTELO-BRANCO PEDRO
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2013-05-24
Abstract: A method of diagnosing cancer in a mammal is provided. The method includes the steps of determining in a nucleic acid-containing sample from the mammal the degree of DNA methylation of a target region within the hTERT promoter from the nucleotide at about position -157 to the nucleotide at about position -580, or a corresponding target region in a TERT promoter in a mammal other than a human, to yield a sample methylation signature, determining the baseline degree of DNA methylation of the target region in a control sample to yield a control methylation signature, comparing the sample methylation signature to the control methylation signature and rendering a diagnosis of cancer when there is at least 1.5 times more methylation in the sample methylation signature as compared to the control methylation signature. Methods of determining tumour grade and progression, predicting survival and determining whether or not a mammal is a candidate for telomerase-targeted or demethylation therapy are also provided.

Abstract: A reciprocating compressor or pump features a manifold arranged not only to define a hollow interior for receiving fluid discharged from a plurality of cylinders but also to define a base or frame on which the cylinders are carried. Unique valves formed in part by flexible material reduces the likelihood of fatigue and increases efficiency by retaining less heat relative to conventional reed valves. A compressor or pump mounted at an end of a handle extending parallel to a motor housing likewise extending from the compressor or pump provides an easy to carry portable assembly. A fan mounted between a motor and a compressor pulls air through the compressor inlet to both cool the motor and feed the compressor. A portable tool system powers both pneumatic and electric tools.  Connecting rod structures for radial compressors or pumps provide improved strength and easier assembly.
