20090287082 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ULTRASONIC HARMONIC IMAGING FOR THERAPY GUIDANCE AND MONITORING - An ultrasound system is provided which includes a therapy ultrasound transducer and a diagnostic ultrasound transducer and operates in accordance with a method to direct the application of the therapy ultrasound. The method includes operating the diagnostic ultrasound transducer to acquire a first ultrasound image; simultaneously operating the diagnostic ultrasound transducer and therapy ultrasound transducer for a second interval to acquire a second ultrasound image; and determining a difference in the first and second images indicative of the pattern of the therapy ultrasound transducer signal. The difference in the images, which result from enhanced non-linearities and propagation distortions induced by the high intensity therapy ultrasound, can be obtained by subtracting the two images. A method is also provided for monitoring the progress of high intensity therapy ultrasound which evaluates transient changes due to in-situ heating as well as permanent changes which result from cell microstructure alteration. | 11-19-2009 |

20150118688 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND DEVICES FOR DETECTING AND IDENTIFYING MICROORGANISMS IN MICROBIOLOGICAL CULTURE SAMPLES - Provided herein are methods, systems, and devices for detecting and/or identifying one or more specific microorganisms in a culture sample. Indicator particles, such as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active nanoparticles, each having associated therewith one or more specific binding members having an affinity for the one or more microorganisms of interest, can form a complex with specific microorganisms in the culture sample. Further, agitating magnetic capture particles also having associated therewith one or more specific binding members having an affinity for the one or more microorganisms of interest can be used to capture the microorganism-indicator particle complex and concentrate the complex in a localized area of an assay vessel for subsequent detection and identification. The complex can be dispersed, pelleted, and redispersed so that the culture sample can be retested a number of times during incubation so as to allow for real-time monitoring of the culture sample. | 04-30-2015 |

20090035748 | BROMELAIN AS A CLINICAL SAMPLE PRE-TREATMENT, LYSIS AGENT AND NUCLEASE INHIBITOR - This invention generally relates to the use of the proteolytic enzyme bromelain for treating samples for diagnostic assays. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of bromelain in methods for pre-treating clinical samples primarily for the purpose of obtaining extractable and amplifiable DNA or RNA from prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells and/or viruses. The present methods also relate to using bromelain as a nuclease inhibitor. The use of bromelain as a nuclease inhibitor is useful in applications where the destructive nature of nucleases are detrimental to downstream applications. This invention also relates to the use of bromelain as a lysis agent for samples to be used, for example, in a molecular based diagnostic assay. The present methods include treating a sample which contains bacteria, viruses, host cells, fungi or parasites with bromelain, typically extracting nucleic acid from the sample, and subjecting the sample to a nucleic acid-based diagnostic assay. | 02-05-2009 |
