    摘要: The early prediction or diagnosis of sepsis advantageously allows for clinical intervention before the disease rapidly progresses beyond initial stages to the more severe stages, such as severe sepsis or septic shock, which are associated with high mortality. Early prediction or diagnosis is accomplished using a molecular diagnostics approach, involving comparing an individual's profile of biomarker expression to profiles obtained from one or more control, or reference, populations, which may include a population who develops sepsis. Recognition of features in the individual's biomarker profile that are characteristic of the onset of sepsis allows a clinician to diagnose the onset of sepsis from a bodily fluid isolated at the individual at a single point in time. The necessity of monitoring the patient over a period of time is, therefore, avoided, advantageously allowing clinical intervention before the onset of serious symptoms. Further, because the biomarker expression is assayed for its profile, identification of the particular biomarkers is unnecessary. The comparison of an individual's biomarker profile to biomarker profiles of appropriate reference populations likewise can be used to diagnose SIRS in the individual.

    摘要: A non-ionic lytic agent, preferably saponin for reducing the background carbon dioxide produced by blood cell metabolism is used in the testing of cultures for the presence of microorganisms. The hemolytic agent saponin is combined with a phospholipid, preferably L-.alpha.-Lecithin (phosphatidylcholine), to form mixed micelles which protect saponin from the effects of heat sterilization and high blood cholesterol levels, thus maintaining the lytic activity of saponin. The phospholipid/saponin mixed micelles are added to non-radiometric culture media vials such as Bactec.RTM. NR6A, NR7A and NR8A. The media vials are used in the Bactec.RTM. NR-660 and NR-730 instruments. However, the present invention may also be used in radiometric media such as Bactec.RTM. culture vials 6, 7 and 8 for reducing background carbon dioxide levels detected in C.sup.14 radiometric instruments such as the Bactec.RTM.-460, or in other instruments designed to detect bacteria in the presence of mammalian cells by monitoring the increase in CO.sub.2 produced by the metabolizing bacteria.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for electroforming a dome for use in a dome switch. A mandrel having several dome shapes incorporated in a planar surface is provided. The mandrel can serve as a cathode in an electroforming process to construct a sheet of domes, for example by enabling the deposition of a sheet of nickel on the mandrel. The domes can be singulated from the sheet for use as part of dome switches. The electroforming process may ensure that the domes have a uniform thickness and no internal stresses that may affect the performance of the domes.
