Title: Tibial implant having an anatomic stem
Inventor: LANDON RYAN L
IPC: A61F2/32
Filed: 2013-03-15
Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices for providing a tibial implant including an anatomic stem that provides a close interface between the implant and surrounding bone. The stem varies in size, cross-sectional shape, or orientation from a proximal portion of the stem to the tip of the stem. The variation of the stem accommodates the variation of tibial anatomy into which the implant component is implanted. The stem provides resistance against rotation of the implant and reduces stress shielding effects by transmitting forces into surrounding bone. In certain implementations, the interface between the stem and bone is supplemented by fin extensions that extend outward from the stem and increase the contact between the implant and the surrounding bone structure.
Patent CA-2872127-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANUGUERRA JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: G01N33/564
Filed: 2013-05-03
Abstract: The present invention provides kits and assay methods for the early detection of pathogens, precise identification of the etiologic agent, and improved disease surveillance. More specifically, the present invention discloses an immunoassay leading to the rapid and simultaneous detection of antibodies to a wide range of infectious pathogens in biological fluids of infected patients. This immunoassay involves the covalent and oriented coupling of fusion proteins comprising an AGT enzyme and a viral antigen on an identifiable solid support (e.g. fluorescent microspheres), said support being previously coated with an AGT substrate. This coupling is mediated by the irreversible reaction of the AGT enzyme on its substrate. The thus obtained antigen-coupled microspheres show enhanced capture of specific antibodies as compared to antigen-coupled microspheres produced by standard amine coupling procedures. The methods of the invention possess the ability to multiplex, minimize the amount of biological sample, and have enhanced sensitivity and specificity toward target antibodies as compared with classical ELISA or Radio-Immunoprecipitation assays.
