摘要:
A magnetic circuit (400) comprises a magnetic path which includes at least one magnetic source (102) arranged to generate magnetic flux within the magnetic path. A magnetic flux-concentrating element 402 is magnetically coupled to the magnetic source, and arranged to concentrate magnetic-flux generated by the magnetic source within a volume adjacent to the magnetic flux-concentrating element (402). Some embodiments of the magnetic circuit (400) comprise at least first (102) and second (104) magnetic sources, which may advantageously be arranged to generate magnetic flux in a common direction within the magnetic path.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and kits for diagnosing myeloma, monitoring disease progression or treatment efficacy in an individual having a myeloma. In one aspect, the invention relates to A method for monitoring the response of an individual to treatment for multiple myeloma, the method comprising providing cell-free nucleic acids derived from a sample of peripheral blood from an individual that has undergone treatment for multiple myeloma; assessing the cell-free nucleic acids for a mutation in any one or more nucleotide sequences from a KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and/or TP53 gene; wherein an absence of, or reduction in the number of, mutations in a nucleotide sequence from a KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and/or TP53 gene indicates a response of the individual to treatment for multiple myeloma.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method for diagnosing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in a subject, the method comprising measuring plasma macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) concentration in a sample from the subject, and diagnosing ACS when the subject plasma MIF concentration is greater than a reference plasma MIF concentration, wherein the sample is taken less than 4 hours after symptom onset. The invention also relates to a method for prognosing ACS in a subject, the method comprising measuring plasma MIF concentration in a sample from the subject, diagnosing ACS when the subject plasma MIF concentration is greater than a reference plasma MIF concentration, and prognosing the magnitude of ACS from the subject plasma MIF concentration. Also provided is a method of treating ACS in a subject, a device, a kit, and a cardiac biomarker related to the methods of diagnosing and prognosing ACS.
