摘要:
A system for originating connectivity fault management (CFM) frames on non-CFM aware switches is disclosed. In the disclosed system, an OAM (Operations Administration and Management) proxy networking device connected to a core Ethernet network operates with one or more CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) devices to which it is communicably connected to support CFM out to the CPE devices without requiring that the CPE devices themselves implement CFM functionality. The OAM proxy networking device generates Connectivity Check (CC) frames, Loopback reply frames, and Linktrace reply frames for MEPs (Maintenance End Points) or MIPs (Maintenance Intermediate Points) contained in communication ports on the CPEs. These CFM frames generated by the OAM proxy networking device are then sent within messages from the OAM proxy networking device to the appropriate CPE. When the CPE device receives a message from the OAM proxy networking device containing one of these CFM frames, it checks the operability of a communication port indicated by the message. If the port is operable, the CPE device extracts the CFM frame from the message and originates it through the OAM proxy networking device into the core Ethernet network. The OAM proxy networking device further operates to process Connectivity Check frames received from the core Ethernet network and addressed to the CPE devices by maintaining an MEP connectivity database. As a result, these received Connectivity Check frames are dropped without forwarding to the CPE devices.

Improved systems and methods for performing external counterpulsation (ECP) treatment are described. The system can be more compact and portable than conventional devices and, in some cases, can be incorporated into a pair of pants or a jumpsuit, such that the user can remain ambulatory during treatment. In various instances, the ECP techniques can include applying complex pulse sequences and treating conditions including cognitive disorders, diabetes, and renal disease, among others. The various techniques can also be used in emergency cardiac situations. The techniques can also be used to provide users with the benefits of exercise, without needing to experience the strain and difficulty associated with conventional cardiovascular exercise routines.

A system and method is provided in which medical treatment of a patient is effected in a systematic and guided fashion. From a patient's symptoms and electronic medical record, a specific diagnostic test may be recommended. Upon execution of the diagnostic test, the diagnostic scan results may be forwarded to a remote location for assistance in analysis. Once analyzed, the results are transmitted to the attending medical personnel. The results, and information which led to the decision to have a diagnostic test, are also sent to a repository for use in future diagnoses and other determinations. A monitor or dashboard is used to keep track of the various steps of the procedure, to provide on the job guidance in using a diagnostic test device, and the ensure a specific efficiency and protocol are followed. A remote location of experts may also be monitoring the dashboard, as a quality control.

A system and method is provided which allows for the transfer of an image data file such as a medical image data file. Device scan slices of an object are acquired per time point. A portion of the device scan slices of the object, e.g., live body organ, per time point which illustrate a change in the object from a previous time point is selected. At least one optical temporal image in spiral fashion per time interval is formed from the selected portion. The at least one optical temporal image is transmittable as an image data file to a location.

A solid-phase immunoassay for 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α, the stable hydrolysis product of prostacyclin (Prostaglandin I2) is disclosed. Prostacyclin, a potent vasodilator with anti-platelet and anti-proliferative properties is an effective treatment for primary pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with scleroderma and scleroderma-like syndrome. Levels of 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α can be directly correlated with levels of prostacyclin. Therefore, 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α has become the indicator of choice to measure prostacyclin levels. The single step immunoassay for 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α uses the bioluminescent protein, aequorin as a label. Analyte-label conjugates were constructed by linking the carboxyl group of 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α and lysine residues of aequorin by chemical conjugation methods. The binding properties of 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α towards its antibody and the bioluminescent properties of aequorin are retained in the conjugate. The concentration of 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α after extraction from plasma shows good correlation with the concentration of 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α obtained without prior extraction of the same plasma sample. The assay allows the measurement of 6-keto-Prostaglandin F1α directly in plasma without any pre-treatment of the samples, which results in a much simpler method with a faster assay time.
