    Abstract: Embodiments pertain to a method for characterizing a droopy upper eyelid performed on a computer having a processor, memory, and one or more code sets stored in the memory and executed in the processor. The method may comprise capturing an image of a patient's facial features comprising an eye and a droopy upper eyelid; identifying at least one geometric feature of a pupil of the eye within the image; and determining, based on the at least one geometric feature, whether the droopy upper eyelid is vision impairing or not, or whether the droopy upper eyelid is more likely vision impairing than not vision-impairing.

    Abstract: Embodiments pertain to ureteral stents for treatment of partial or full ureteral occlusion by bridging one or more ureteral occlusions, where each stent includes a tubular portion, a first spout portion and a second spout portion. The stent may have one or more tapered edges by having the smallest diameter of the first and/or the second spout portion smaller than the largest diameter of the tubular portion, and/or be of an overall length allowing the ureteral stent to be completely located within a patient's ureter once deployed therein.

    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a malignant proliferative disease or disorder in a subject, and/or for following up, monitoring or prognosticating the therapy of a malignant proliferative disease or disorder in a subject is disclosed. The method is based on measurement of platelet-mediated fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) activity in a sample essentially comprising platelets obtained from the subject. In accordance with the disclosed method, platelet-mediated FGL2 activity level higher than control is indicative of the presence of a malignant proliferative disease or disorder in a subject.
