摘要:
An implantable medical device and associated method for automatically generating morphology templates during fast cardiac rhythms, confirming a provisional template as a confirmed template, and using the confirmed template to classify subsequent detected arrhythmias. A provisional SVT template may be created during a fast ventricular rate and activated as a confirmed SVT template upon verification that the fast rate was due to an SVT. The confirmed SVT template may be used to discriminate SVT from VT/VF.
摘要:
A method of generating a template in an implantable medical device for implantation within a patient, and a processor readable medium for performing the method, that includes generating a template from collected events corresponding to the patient, delaying the generation of the template for a first predetermined time period in response to the template not being generated within a predetermined number of collected events, determining whether the template is valid, and monitoring the template to determine whether the template is an accurate representation of the patient.
摘要:
A method and device for generating a template that includes determining whether there are consecutive events of a plurality of sensed events having first characteristics, and if a predetermined number of events of the plurality of sensed events subsequent to the consecutive events are identified as first selected events having second characteristics, the template is then generated from the first selected events.
摘要:
In an apparatus and a method for use in setting a sensing parameter of an implantable medical device (IMD) of a patient, cardiac data corresponding to a cardiac episode experienced by the patient is obtained from a sensing electrode associated with the IMD. At the time the cardiac data is obtained, the IMD is operated at a first setting of the sensing parameter. Based upon this cardiac data, a simulation is performed of cardiac event identification if the IMD were operated at a different setting of the sensing parameter. The simulated cardiac event identification performance of the IMD is then reported.
摘要:
A method and device for generating a template that includes identifying events of a plurality of sensed events having predetermined characteristics as first selected events and generating the template from the first selected events. Events of the plurality of events having the predetermined characteristics are identified as second selected events, and a determination is made as to whether the template is valid in response to the second selected events. The template is updated from the second selected events in response to the template not being valid.

摘要:
There is disclosed a chimeric infliximab-like monoclonal antibody having at least 80% NANA glycosylation terminal sialic acid and a glycosylation pattern of Gal-α(2,3/6)-Gal that binds to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF). The disclosed infliximab-like monoclonal antibody is a chimeric antibody having the same amino acid sequence (light chain/heavy chain of SEQ ID NO. 1/SEQ ID NO. 2) as infliximab (Remicade®) which has at least 80% NGNA terminal sialic acid and a glycosylation pattern of Gal-α(1,3)-Gal.
摘要:
The invention provides peptides, portions and derivatives thereof, that are useful for reducing cell migration, and for reducing symptoms of pathological diseases that are associated with undesirable cell migration, and in particular MMP-induced cell migration. This invention also provides peptides that are useful for detecting (e.g., imaging) cancers.
摘要:
A process for forming a sheet metal component using an electric current passing through the component is provided. The process can include providing a double side incremental forming machine, the machine operable to perform a plurality of double side incremental deformations on the sheet metal component and also apply an electric direct current to the sheet metal component during at least part of the forming. The direct current can be applied before or after the forming has started and/or be terminated before or after the forming has stopped. The direct current can be applied to any portion of the sheet metal. The electrical assistance can reduce the magnitude of force required to produce a given amount of deformation, increase the amount of deformation exhibited before failure and/or reduce any springback typically exhibited by the sheet metal component.
