    摘要: A plug capable of providing information relating to a physical or chemical property of a body fluid, or the presence or amount of a molecular component therein in a living organism is disclosed. Specifically, one embodiment plug is capable of being inserted into a portion of a human eyelid in order to provide information relating to tear fluid is disclosed. This embodiment plug includes a body having a passage which allows for the natural flow of tear fluid therethrough. In addition, a sensing mechanism is provided which is capable of measuring, for example, glucose levels in the body of a patient through the analysis of the tear fluid. Such plug may further be designed so as to double as a punctal plug useful in preventing dry eye. Methods of utilizing and implanting such plugs are also disclosed.

    摘要: The gait monitor system and method provides various basic gait parameters including step count, cadence, and step duration, in addition to its ability to distinguish between normal, limping and shuffling gait modes, as well as determine falls. Moreover, this gait monitor may be provided with additional sensors, e.g. beam break at the beginning and end of a corridor to estimate average walking velocity (with the distance between the beams known or determined); this enables the calculation of additional gait characteristics such as average step length and average stride length. These parameters can additionally be used to detect various gait anomalies and other diagnostic information.

    摘要: To characterize the urinary exosome miRNome, microarrays were used to identify the miRNA spectrum present within urinary exosomes from ten individuals that were previously classified for their salt sensitivity status. The present application discloses distinct patterns of selected exosomal miRNA expression that were different between salt-sensitive (SS), salt-resistant (SR), and inverse salt-sensitive (ISS) individuals. These miRNAs can be useful as biomarkers either individually or as panels comprising multiple miRNAs. The present invention provides compositions and methods for identifying, diagnosing, monitoring, and treating subjects with salt sensitivity of blood pressure. The applications discloses panels of miRNAs useful for comparing profiles, and in some cases one or more of the miRNAs in a panel can be used. The miRNAs useful for distinguishing SS and SR or ISS and SR subjects. One or more of the 45 miRNAs can be used. Some of the miRNAs have not been previously reported to be circulating. See those miRNAs with asterisks in FIG. 1 and below. The present invention encompasses the use of one or more of these markers for identifying and diagnosing SR, SS, and ISS subjects.

    摘要: An automated cold storage apparatus, and related method thereof, provides a sample process management system that is a revolutionary approach to the storage and retrieval regarding critical samples. The system—a significant technological breakthrough in laboratory automation—is the first ultra low temperature robotic system capable of being validated. Samples in containers are stored and retrieved robotically through an airlock climate-control chamber that is automatically dehumidified by a dry gas purge, such as a carbon dioxide or nitrogen purge or the like. This purge rapidly reduces ambient humidity to a desirable relative humidity (RH), e.g., less than about 15% RH, virtually eliminating the accumulation of frost. Microplates are systematically identified using barcode technology, for example. Once through the climate-controlled chamber, the containers (i.e., samples) are robotically transferred to the rotary mechanism. This mechanism transports the containers to a derived nest location upon the storage means, such as a carousel or to one of the stationary addresses.
