Abstract:
The present invention relates to connective tissue substitute implant and method of preparation thereof. The implant is essentially composed of two bone anchors joined at the proximal ends by matrix layers and/or filaments coated by supplementary biocompatible matrix coating layer which can contain living stem cells isolated from injured connective tissue.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Francis runner for a hydraulic machine that comprises a belt with a rotational symmetry about a central axis of the runner, a ceiling with a rotational symmetry about the axis, and a plurality of blades (21, 22) extending between the ceiling and the belt. The runner also includes at least two elements (41, 42, 43, 61, 62, 63) partially defining at least the belt and/or the ceiling while at least one edge (231, 232, 241, 242) of a blade (21, 22) is inserted between the two elements defining the belt and/or the ceiling.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method of identifying a subject who is at risk of progressing to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), using the steps of measuring the amount of the biomarker soluble ST2 and comparing the thus measured amount to a reference. Further encompassed by the present disclosure are kits and devices adapted to carry out the method of the present invention.

Abstract:
A mechanical coupling comprises an input member, an output member a chamber associated therewith, within the chamber a charge of cured silicone composition in crumb form and a spring biased piston for compressing the charge to an extent sufficient to permit the compressed silicone to convey rotational motion from the input member to the output member.
