20130190207 | PRIORITISED GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS AND MIGRAINE SUSCEPTIBILITY - The invention provides identification of an increased risk of or a predisposition to migraine according to the presence of one or more polymorphisms in the adenosine deaminase, RNA-specific, B2 (ADARB2) gene in the nucleic acid complement of a subject. | 07-25-2013 |
20120004266 | DOPAMINE-BETA-HYDROXYLASE GENETIC POLYMORPHISM AND MIGRAINE - The invention provides a method of determining whether or not an individual has a predisposition to migraine including the step of determining whether an isolated nucleic acid obtained from the individual comprises a nucleotide sequence corresponding to at least a fragment of a dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) gene promoter, wherein the presence of a −1021C→T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in said nucleotide sequence indicates whether or not said individual has an increased predisposition to migraine compared to an individual without the polymorphism. DBH −1021C/C homozygotes are particularly susceptible to migraine. The −1021T allele may exert a protective effect. The method is particularly suited to detection of a predisposition to migraine with aura in females. The invention also provides a diagnostic kit for detecting a −1021C→T SNP associated with migraine. The method and kit may facilitate selection of individuals for migraine therapy which targets the dopaminergic system. | 01-05-2012 |
20110312162 | CHEMICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION SYSTEM AND PROCESS - A chemical vapour deposition system, including: a process tube for receiving at least one sample, the process tube being constructed of silicon carbide, impregnated with silicon, and coated with silicon carbide; a pumping system to evacuate the process tube to high vacuum; one or more gas inlets for introducing one or more process gases into the evacuated process tube; and a heater to heat the process tube and thereby heat the one or more process gases and the at least one sample within the process tube to cause a material to be deposited onto the at least one sample within the process tube by chemical vapour deposition. | 12-22-2011 |
20080196827 | Fabrication of Electronic Components In Plastic - A method of forming electronic components in which a thermoplastic substrate is embossed to create a recess for electronic components; the electronic component is placed in the recess; electrical connections and circuitry are deposited over the components on the thermoplastic substrate; and a cover sheet of thermoplastic material is bonded over the circuitry. The process may also be carried out in reverse order. The apparatus used consists of a hot embossing machine having a former shaped for each particular circuit to be assembled; a pick and place machine with standard reel loading of components; and a screen printer for printing the conductive ink circuitry or a station for adhering conductive tape or preprinted film. | 08-21-2008 |
