摘要:
The present invention relates to a surgical guiding device for bone perforation in osteosynthesis processes, comprising a first arm (1) comprising a first toothed ring (2) intended for being arranged on the coronoid; a second arm (4) comprising a second toothed ring (3) intended for resting on the starting point of bone perforation, and onto which an interchangeable head (5) with different sizes intended for guiding the introduction of needles or drill bits can be screwed for performing bone perforation; an intermediate portion (10) made up of respective widened sections (11a and 11b) of the arms (1, 4), which are integrated around a rod (6'), enabling a controlled clamp-type movement between the arms; an ergonomic wheel (6) which enables stable sliding between both arms; and a spring (9) that exerts pressure on the first and second rings (2, 3) compressing the fracture and keeping the assembly stable.
摘要:
System (1) for diagnosing the balance of a user or patient, comprising a platform (2, 21), a U-shaped support structure (3) and at least three linear actuators (A1, A2, A3) characterized in that the U-shaped support structure (3) partially surrounds the sensor-equipped platform (2) allowing a user access to said platform (2), and in that said structure has guiding elements (70) for guiding the mobile ends (211, 221, 231) of said actuators that allow the vertical displacement of said mobile ends with respect to the structure (3), said mobile ends (211, 221, 231) being mechanically connected to the platform (2, 21) such that when said mobile ends (211, 221, 231) are vertically displaced, they cause the movement of the platform (2, 21).
摘要:
The description relates to a system for assessing the functional performance of an individual, the system comprising a sensor device; a monitoring system, connectable to the sensor device, configured to receive signals coming from the sensor device, pre-process the signals received from the sensor device, extract the main features of the pre-processed signals to be used as predictor variables, assess the functional performance of an individual based on the predictor variables.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for detecting the presence or absence of a target analyte in a test sample, comprising the steps: i) providing a plurality of detector nanoparticles comprising a first detector nanoparticle functionalised with a first probe specific for a first region of a target analyte and a second detector nanoparticle functionalised with a second probe specific for a second region of said target analyte; and ii) contacting said detector nanoparticles with a test sample under conditions suitable for the binding of the specific probes to the target analyte, wherein target analyte-induced agglomeration of the detector nanoparticles permits the release of a detectable signal means from a signal reservoir. Also provided are related devices and systems for performing the method of the invention.
摘要:
The present invention comprises the use of metalloprotease inhibitors for the treatment of polycystic liver diseases (PLDs). The invention particularly describes the use of Marimastat as the preferred metalloprotease inhibitor for the treatment of PLDs. Treatment with Marimastat is able to inhibit liver cystogenesis by blocking metalloproteolytic hyperactivity of polycystic cholangiocytes.
