摘要:
One aspect of the invention provides a method of screening for sickle-cell disease. The method includes: contacting an end of a capillary tube with deoxygenated blood; observing a flow rate of the deoxygenated blood within the capillary tube; and performing one or more steps selected from the group consisting of: comparing the flow rate to a predetermined flow-rate threshold for the capillary tube indicative of sickle-cell disease; calculating viscosity based on the flow rate and comparing the viscosity to a predetermined viscosity threshold for the capillary tube indicative of sickle-cell disease; and comparing the flow rate to a second flow rate for oxygenated blood from a same subject within a substantially identical capillary tube.
摘要:
A system for and method of antimicrobial susceptibility testing includes detecting a resonance peak of a sensor provided with live microbes on a surface thereof; applying a substance to the live microbes; detecting a resonance peak of said sensor after application of said substance; determining a width of a top of each of said resonance peaks before and after application of the substance from one of: (1) a phase angle versus frequency plot where the phase angle is the phase angle of the electrical impedance of said sensor, (2) a real part of a plot of an electrical impedance versus frequency of said sensor, (3) a plot of a magnitude of electrical impedance versus frequency of said sensor, and (4) a phase angle versus frequency plot where the phase angle is the phase angle between an output voltage and an input voltage of said sensor, and comparing the determined widths of tops of said resonance peaks or standard deviations of the frequency of said resonance peaks to determine antimicrobial susceptibility including the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).
摘要:
The application relates to the healing of wounds. Provided herein are methods directed to treatment of hard-to-heal or chronic wounds by sequential administration of M1 and M2 macrophages to the wound site.
摘要:
A flexible and scalable emissive fabric display with individually controllable pixels disposed within a fabric matrix. The pixels may include areas where electroluminescent thread contact conductive threads, and take the form of either individual stitches, or contact points between perpendicularly inlayed conductive threads and electroluminescent threads. Alternatively, the pixels may include individual electroluminescent segments disposed along a conductive thread.
摘要:
The invention relates to the compositions and methods for complete excision of HIV-1 proviral genomes including viral quasi-species (vQS) from an HIV-1-infected human. The invention includes a composition of guide RNAs (gRNAs) designed to specifically target the HIV-1 LTR region or any other region of the HIV-1 genome. The invention further includes a method for treating an HIV-1-infected human using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) / CRISPR-associated (Cas) 9 system and the compositions of the present invention.
