摘要:
Tissue and towel sheets having a pattern of spaced-apart elongated regions of relatively high basis weight oriented in the machine direction of the sheets are produced by forming a molded three-dimensional wet web having spaced-apart ridges and valleys substantially oriented in the machine direction and thereafter flattening the molded web such that the web is buckled upon itself. Upon drying, the resulting tissue sheet has a relatively flat surface texture, yet contains a high degree of cross-machine direction stretch.

A method for detecting amyloid beta plaques and drusen is disclosed. The method for detecting amyloid beta plaques and drusen may include applying a combination of optical retro mode illumination techniques to acquire a plurality of amyloid beta plaques and drusen images that are too small to be seen with other imaging modalities. The amyloid beta plaques and drusen images may also be detected with a non-transitory computer storage media having instructions stored thereon which, when executed, execute the method for detecting amyloid beta plaques and drusen. The method may track changes in plaque, size, area and density of the amyloid beta plaques and drusen over a predetermined period of time.

A disposable absorbent article is disclosed having a unitary structure with a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. The unitary structure includes a front region, a back region and a crotch region positioned between the front and back regions. The front and back regions have an interior surface and an exterior surface. A portion of at least one of the front and back regions has a visual appearance with a Shadow Index value of less than about 5 and/or a Gray-Level Percent Relative Standard Deviation value of less than about 70.

A method for detecting a disease such as Alzheimer's disease by analysis of retinal vasculature is disclosed. The method for detecting a disease by analysis of retinal vasculature may include applying a combination of optical retro mode illumination techniques to acquire a plurality of amyloid beta plaques and drusen images that are too small to be seen with other imaging modalities. The disease may also be detected with a non-transitory computer storage media having instructions stored thereon which, when executed, execute the method for detecting a disease by analysis of retinal vasculature. The method may track changes in lumen thickness, plaque, size, area and density of the disease by analysis of retinal vasculature over a predetermined period of time.
摘要:
A sheet-like product is disclosed having a patterned indicia for signifying the existence of an additive or ingredient that is contained within the product. The present inventors have discovered that a particular burst-like pattern provides various advantages and benefits in comparison to other patterns. In order to differentiate patterns of the present invention from other patterns, patterns made according to present invention were image analyzed during a dilation process.
摘要:
This invention relates to medical devices and an elastin-stabilizing compound, such as a phenolic tannin, the medical device being adapted to release the elastin-stabilizing compound within a body of a patient. This invention also relates to medical devices and methods of treatment of disease, such as aneurysms and aortic dissection. Medical devices may include coated stents, grafts, stent grafts, balloons and catheters.
摘要:
An aortic stent graft and a method of deploying the aortic stent graft. The method comprises providing a tapered tubular graft having a distal end and a proximal end, providing at least one stent attached to the graft at a site adjacent the distal end of the graft, loading the graft into an introducer, inserting the introducer through an incision in the aorta, deploying the graft inside the aorta; and suturing the proximal end of the graft in place.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are elastic laminate materials having an elastic member and at least one fibrous nonwoven web. The elastic laminate materials have highly desirably properties of extensibility and elastic recovery, and cloth-like aesthetic properties of softness and drapability. In embodiments, the elastic laminate materials may include a second fibrous nonwoven web bonded to the opposite side of the elastic member. Also disclosed herein is a process for forming the elastic laminate materials. Such elastic laminate materials are highly useful for components in or on personal care products, protective wear garments, medical care products, bandages and the like.
摘要:
An endoluminal medical device comprises a drug release system that releases a cathepsin inhibitor at a predetermined location within a lumen of a patient. The endoluminal devices and methods of treatment of disease can treat illnesses such as aneurysms and aortic dissections.
摘要:
A real time 2D deconvolution system and method for processing a time sequence, or video sequence, of microscopy images. A system is provided that includes a first algorithm for processing a first image in the set of 2D images, wherein the first algorithm calculates an estimated point spread function (PSF) by analyzing data in the first image; and a second algorithm for processing a set of subsequent images in the set of 2D images, wherein each subsequent image is processed based on the estimated PSF, under the assumption of slowly-varying image change. A PSF refinement system may optionally improve the PSF estimate, between each image, as computation time permits.
