Patients (n=215) with treatment-naïve PDAC (n=77), CP with bile or pancreatic duct pathology (n=67), and controls (n=71) that had been prospectively enrolled in a Pancreatobiliary Disease Biorepository at the time of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were identified. Controls were patients with choledocholithiasis but normal pancreata. The sample was separated into training (n=95) and validation (n=120) cohorts to establish and then test the performance of PDAC Signature Panels in diagnosing PDAC. The training cohort (n=95) included age-matched patients with CP and controls. Panels were derived from the differential expression of 10-candidate miRNA in plasma or bile. Differential expression of miR-10b, -155, and -106b in plasma and bile accurately distinguishes individuals with PDAC from those having CP or normal pancreata. | 01-15-2015 |

An electrode is positioned on each vertex of the encompassing structure and at least one of the polygonal surfaces includes additional electrodes configured to form a plurality of quadrupoles on the surface. Alternating RF voltage is applied to the plurality of electrodes, so that directly neighboring electrodes are of equal amplitude and opposite polarity at any point in time. This configuration on the polyhedral structure forms a potential barrier for repelling the ions from each of the regular polygonal surfaces and containing them in the trap. Mass selective filters can be formed from the quadrupoles for parallel mass analysis in different m/z windows. Application of a small DC potential to a plate electrode outside the quadrupoles preferentially depletes single charged ions for enhanced signal-to-noise analysis. | 02-12-2015 |

20140013000 | SOCIAL GRAPH BASED PERMISSIONS, PUBLISHING, AND SUBSCRIPTION - Systems and methods for social graph based permissions, publication, and subscription for networks of associations are provided. A role object may be created by a user which can be a member of the network or a visitor who can join or browse the network of associations, defining a network of associations and at least one rule for user access control operation. The server identifies the role object and executes the rules against members belonging to the network of associations. The network of associations may be selected by the user via a social graph. The rules defined by the role object may include setting permissions, publishing, or subscription. Further, the server may automatically set and maintain permissions, publishing audience, and subscription lists in a dynamic network environment. | 01-09-2014 |
