摘要:
The disclosure relates to use of the HE4/HE4a marker(s) to assess endometrial and uterine cancer in a patient. The disclosure also relates to using tumors marks for diagnosis, grading and staging of endometrial and uterine cancers. The disclosure also relates to determining prognosis and treatment effectiveness of a patient who has been diagnosed with endometrial or uterine cancer.

An approach provides for recording and editing digital media. A digital media stream is generated from an input signal (such as a live broadcast feed). The digital media stream is transmitted to a browser application configured to concurrently record and edit the digital media stream.

A peripheral equalization (PE) method and apparatus for compensating for thickness reduction in outer edges of the breast in a mammogram (i.e. a two-dimensional image) while keeping the central area substantially unchanged. The PE method and apparatus can also be applied to three dimensional (tomosynthesis) images of a breast. The peripheral equalization is achieved by segmenting the image of the breast into at least two regions and using a multi-threshold technique to process the data in at least one of the two regions.

An integrated process for producing Fischer-Tropsch derived products boiling in the range of liquid fuel and lubricating base oil which comprises (a) recovering separately from a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor a Fischer-Tropsch wax and a Fischer-Tropsch condensate; (b) hydroprocessing the Fischer-Tropsch wax in a wax hydroprocessing zone by contacting the Fischer-Tropsch wax with a hydroprocessing catalyst in the presence of hydrogen under hydroprocessing conditions and recovering from the wax hydroprocessing zone a waxy intermediate and a hydrogen-rich normally liquid fraction; (c) mixing the Fischer-Tropsch condensate from step (a) and at least part of the hydrogen-rich normally liquid fraction from step (b) to form a Fischer-Tropsch condensate mixture; (d) hydrotreating the Fischer-Tropsch condensate mixture in a condensate hydrotreating zone by contacting the Fischer-Tropsch condensate mixture with a hydrotreating catalyst in the presence of hydrogen under hydrotreating conditions and recovering from the condensate hydrotreating zone a Fischer-Tropsch condensate product; (e) recovering from the Fischer-Tropsch condensate product a Fischer-Tropsch derived hydrocarbon boiling within the range of liquid fuel; (f) dewaxing the waxy intermediate from step (b) in a catalytic dewaxing zone by contacting the waxy intermediate with a dewaxing catalyst in the presence hydrogen under dewaxing conditions and recovering a base oil from the dewaxing zone; (g) hydrofinishing the base oil from step (f) in a hydrofinishing zone by contacting the base oil with a hydrofinishing catalyst in the presence of hydrogen under hydrofinishing conditions; (h) recovering from the hydrofinishing zone a UV stabilized lubricating base oil and a hydrogen-rich gas; and (i) recycling the hydrogen-rich gas from step (h) to the wax hydroprocessing zone of step (b) and wherein the total pressure in the hydrofinishing zone is at least as high as the total pressure in the wax hydroprocessing zone.
摘要:
An improved tissue imaging system is provided, in which tissue can be sheared without direct manual manipulation, so that different perspective images of the tissue can be determined, preferably in a single compression cycle. In one aspect of the invention, a traction system is provided, comprising at least a layer of a radiolucent material dimensioned and constructed such that the layer can pass between tissue and a surface of a tissue imaging device. The radiolucent material has sufficient tensile strength that the layer can slide without tearing against the surface of the tissue imaging device when tension is exerted on the layer, the sliding resulting in movement of the tissue relative to the surface of the tissue imaging device. A method of moving tissue relative to at least one surface of a tissue imaging device is also provided.

A single chip SCSI controller circuit has a pair of input and output first in, first out (FIFO) buffers as well as a main buffer. The circuit supports synchronous and asynchronous data transfers which are fully compatible with the SCSI-II specification. A mode select pin may be selectively actuated by the user or by attached interface circuitry to configure the chip for either microchannel architecture (MCA) or industry standard architecture (ISA) compatibility.
摘要:
A breast compression device is disclosed for use in a mammography system. A paddle support frame is provided which is slidably connected to a system arm of the mammography system. The paddle support frame is located between the x-ray tube and the detector of the mammography system. A compression paddle is pivotally connected within the support frame by a pivot connection. The pivot connection is located on a chest wall side of the support frame. The chest wall side is opposite the system arm. The compression paddle is substantially horizontal to the detector and is rotatable around the pivot connection. The compression paddle may include a breast portion which is substantially parallel to the detector and a chest wall portion which is substantially vertical to the detector. The compression paddle may also have a contoured shape where the chest wall portion is angled away from the system arm and the breast portion is contoured to mimic the contours of the breast.
