    摘要: The present disclosure relates generally to the assessment and treatment of vessels, including for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). For example, some embodiments of the present disclosure are suited for identifying the available intervention technique(s) suitable to achieve a desired outcome selected or input by a user. For example, in some implementations a method comprises receiving pressure measurements obtained by one or more intravascular pressure-sensing instruments positioned within a vessel of a patient; receiving an input from a user regarding a desired pressure value for the vessel of the patient; identifying an available treatment option based on the received pressure measurements and the desired pressure value; and outputting, to a display device, a screen display including a visual representation of the available treatment option. Related devices and systems are also described.

    摘要: An ear examination tool comprises a handle and a speculum mount coupled to the handle. The speculum mount is configured for retaining a disposable speculum. An spacing element is coupled to the handle and extends from the handle. A smartphone mount is coupled to the spacing element, and the spacing element is configured to maintain an optical separation distance between the speculum mount and the smartphone mount. The tool enables a clear view of the ear canal while allowing access by, and manipulation of, a microsuction tool being inserted into the ear canal. The extensive optical and data processing functionality of a “smartphone” can be integrated at low cost into an ear examination tool to provide a substantially improved piece of equipment for assisting in ear examination and microsuction of the ear.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the diagnosis of TB in a subject, the method comprising (a) providing a sample from said subject, said sample being selected from the group consisting of: blood, serum and plasma; (b) determining the concentration in said sample of the following biomarkers: IL-1ra, IL6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-12p70, FGF-basic, IP-10, and VEGF; (c) converting each biomarker concentration determined in (b) into a decile value; and (d) converting each decile value into a binary presence or absence by comparing the decile values of (c) to the following specific quantile cut off values wherein a decile value matching or exceeding the specific quantile cut-off value is converted into the binary presence of the biomarker, and a decile value lower than the specific quantile cut-off value is converted into the binary absence of the biomarker; wherein detecting the presence of each of said biomarkers indicates that the subject has TB. The invention also relates to uses, kits and devices.
