摘要:
The present application discloses devices and methods for delivering a therapeutic compound to the olfactory epithelium of an animal or human. The device having one or more channels for imparting a circumferential and axial velocity to the discharged fluid, and an outlet that discharges an aerosol spray having a circumferential and axial velocity as it enters the nasal cavity of a user. The device is designed to displace the air in the upper nasal cavity in order to specifically deposit a therapeutic agent on the olfactory epithelium while minimizing pressure and discomfort experienced by the user.

The present disclosure relates to materials and methods for evaluating prostate cancer using binding entities (such as antibodies) that bind to the N-terminus and the C-Terminus of androgen receptor. Prostate samples are histochemically labeled for the N-terminus and the C-Terminus of androgen receptor, and a ratio between the binding of the N- and C-terminal antibodies is determined.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided for intravitreally delivering a polynucleotide to cone photoreceptors. Aspects of the methods include injecting a recombinant adeno-associated virus comprising a polynucleotide of interest into the vitreous of the eye. These methods and compositions find particular use in treating ocular disorders associated with cone dysfunction and/or death.
摘要:
Contiguity information is important to achieving high-quality de novo assembly of mammalian genomes and the haplotype-resolved resequencing of human genomes. The methods described herein pursue cost-effective, massively parallel capture of contiguity information at different scales.
摘要:
Nucleotide sequences including a micro-dystrophin gene are provided. The micro-dystrophin genes may be operatively linked to a regulatory cassette. Methods of treating a subject having, or at risk of developing, muscular dystrophy, sarcopenia, heart disease, or cachexia are also provided. The methods may include administering a pharmaceutical composition including the micro-dystrophin gene and a delivery vehicle to a subject. Further, the methods may include administering the pharmaceutical composition a subject having Duchenne muscular dystrophy or Becker muscular dystrophy.
摘要:
Systems and methods of identifying medical disorders in one or more subjects are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, sound is transmitted toward a subject and at least a portion of the sound reflected by the subject and is acquired as echo data. The acquired echo data is used to generate a motion waveform having a plurality of peaks detected therein. At feast a portion of the plurality of peaks may be indicative of movement of the subject. One or more medical disorders in the subject can be identified based on, for example, time durations and/or amplitude changes between peaks detected in the motion waveform.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods for generating virtual environment displays based on a group of sensors are provided. A computing device can receive first data about an environment from a first group of one or more sensors. The computing device can model the environment as a virtual environment based on the first data. The computing device can determine whether to obtain additional data to model the environment. After determining to obtain additional data to model the environment, the computing device can: receive second data about the environment, and model the environment as the virtual environment based on at least the second data. The computing device can generate a display of the virtual environment.
摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to methods of making a polymer, including exposing a reaction mixture including a strained cyclic unsaturated monomer and an organic initiator to a stimulus to provide an activated organic initiator, whereby the activated organic initiator is effective to polymerize the strained cyclic unsaturated monomer via a 4-membered carbocyclic intermediate to provide a polymer having constitutional units derived from the strained cyclic unsaturated monomer.
