20160042514 | A COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR ASSESSING VASCULAR NETWORKS FROM MEDICAL IMAGES AND USES THEREOF - The method comprising acquiring and analysing by computer means image information of video sequences of two or more dimensions obtained from contrast-enhanced signals, for example ultrasound, coherence tomography, fluorescence images, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, of a body part or tissue, for example of an organ, of a living subject; detecting events from said information of video sequences; selecting a Region of Interest of said body part or tissue; computing a first graph representative of a local vascular network of said image information of video sequences in which the edges of the graph are estimated by the temporal relationship among spatially remote signals of said image information of video sequences within a set of video sequences; and using said graph for assessment of vascular networks. | 02-11-2016 |
20150190530 | FUNCTIONALIZED LIPOSOMES USEFUL FOR THE DELIVERY OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS - The invention relates to conjugates in which a sterol is functionalized by an ether bond with a water-soluble polymer to which a guiding ligand is bound. These conjugates improve the physico-chemical and delivery properties of their carrying vesicles, making these more stable, homogeneous and effective. A method for their preparation, a pharmaceutical composition containing said liposomes, and their therapeutic use are described as well. | 07-09-2015 |

20150099776 | Beta-Amyloid-Directed Multitarget Compounds For The Treatment Of Alzheimer's Disease - The compounds of formula (I), or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or any stereoisomer or mixture thereof, wherein: R | 04-09-2015 |
20140215644 | SOLUBLE PROTEIN CD5 OR CD6 FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER OR TUMOR OR FOR USE AS AN ADJUVANT - The present invention discloses soluble isoforms of CD5 and CD6, which are scavenger-like lymphocyte receptors, for use in the prophylaxis or therapy of disorders or in therapeutic interventions, which would benefit from an exacerbated immune response to either endogenous or exogenous antigens, resulting from a decrease in lymphocyte subpopulations with regulatory functions and/or increase in lymphocyte subpopulations with effector functions. Special disorders are cell growth disorders, and chronic infections of bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic origin. The invention also provides animal models for the study and the prophylaxis/treatment of autoimmune diseases, cancer, and chronic infections. | 07-31-2014 |
20140180994 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING - A method for automated decision making includes using situated agents with real time reactivity skills for making decisions according to their individual perceptions and motivations, and further includes integrating into the situated agents one or more pre-established plans by using a model representing sequences of causally related events for supporting the decision making to fulfil coordinately the one or more pre-established plans. | 06-26-2014 |
20130240728 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING CHARACTERISTIC PEAK SIGNALS IN ANALYTICAL ELECTRON MICROSCOPY - A method and system are disclosed for improving characteristic peak signals in electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurements of crystalline materials. A beam scanning protocol is applied which varies the inclination, azimuthal angle, or a combination thereof of the incident beam while spectroscopic data is acquired. The method and system may be applied to compositional mapping. | 09-19-2013 |

20120225793 | METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING, DIAGNOSING, AND PREDICTING SURVIVAL OF LYMPHOMAS - Gene expression data provides a basis for more accurate identification and diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disorders. In addition, gene expression data can be used to develop more accurate predictors of survival. The present invention discloses methods for identifying, diagnosing, and predicting survival in a lymphoma or lymphoproliferative disorder on the basis of gene expression patterns. The invention discloses a novel microarray, the Lymph Dx microarray, for obtaining gene expression data from a lymphoma sample. The invention also discloses a variety of methods for utilizing lymphoma gene expression data to determine the identity of a particular lymphoma and to predict survival in a subject diagnosed with a particular lymphoma. This information will be useful in developing the therapeutic approach to be used with a particular subject. | 09-06-2012 |
