20110256080 | Easily appliable, storage stable, radiation-curable, pigmented, artificial nail gel coatings - Limited shelf life due to pigment settling and the formation of hard packs in pigmented UV curable nail gels is solved by the present invention which describes a composition, method, and use of a UV curable, thixotropic, radiation curable, low viscosity gel comprised of a formulation containing thixotropic additive(s) and in some cases dispersants for additional dispersion stability. The thixotropic pigmented gel has prolonged shelf life and long time storage at ambient conditions. It also contains negligible amounts of unreactive solvent. The thixotropic additive also changes the rheological properties of the gel, which allows the nail gel to be easily applied to nails at a lower viscosity due to shear thinning. | 10-20-2011 |

20120122243 | MEANS AND METHOD AND MEANS FOR DIAGNOSING PROSTATE CARCINOMAS - The present invention relates to a method, preferably an ex vivo method, for diagnosing prostate carcinomas and/or predisposition thereof comprising determining at least one metabolite in a test sample of a subject suspected to suffer from prostate carcinomas or to have a predisposition therefor and comparing said at least one metabolite to a reference, whereby prostate carcinomas or a predisposition therefor is to be diagnosed. Moreover, the present invention encompasses a collection of metabolites, a data collection comprising characteristic values of metabolites and a storage medium comprising said data collection. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a system comprising means for comparing characteristic values of metabolites of a sample operatively linked to a data storage medium. Further encompassed by the present invention are diagnostic means comprising at least one metabolite and the use of said at least one metabolite for the manufacture of diagnostic means for or for diagnosing prostate carcinomas. Finally, the present invention pertains to a method for identifying prostate carcinoma-related metabolites. | 05-17-2012 |
20150241406 | Means and Methods for Diagnosing Recurrence of Prostate Cancer After Prostatectomy - The present invention concerns means and methods for cancer diagnosis and, in particular, diagnosis of prostate cancer. Specifically, it relates to a method for diagnosing whether a subject is at risk for recunent prostate carcinoma after prostatectomy comprising determining the amount of at least one metabolite selected from Table 2 in a test sample of a subject after prostatectomy, and comparing the determined amount to a reference, whereby it is diagnosed whether the subject is at risk for recurrent prostate carcinoma after prostatectomy. Further methods provided in accordance with the present invention relate to differentiating between a malignant prostate carcinoma tissue and a non-malignant tissue and diagnosing metastasizing prostate carcinoma in a subject. Also provided are devices for carrying out the aforementioned methods. | 08-27-2015 |
