20100263731METHODS FOR DETECTING PARTICLES IN AEROSOL GAS STREAMS - Turbulent mixing condensation devices, methods, and systems adapted to condense a working fluid on particles from a sample gas to enlarge the particles for subsequent detection are provided. The device includes a vapor generator adapted to produce a working-fluid saturated carrier gas and a condensation chamber. The working-fluid saturated carrier gas is mixed with a sample gas containing particles to be detected and is then introduced to the condensation chamber. The operating conditions are controlled to enhance the condensation of the working fluid on the particles. The particles are typically forwarded to a particle detection device to detect at least one characteristic, for example, the size, of the particles. The flow of carrier gas to the vapor generator may be regulated to vary the degree of saturation of the carrier gas with working fluid.10-21-2010

20090136952MANGANESE SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE VAL16ALA POLYMORPHISM PREDICTS RESISTANCE TO CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC DRUG CANCER THERAPY - The present invention provides, for the first time, the finding that the manganese superoxide dismutase Val16Ala polymorphism is significantly associated with prognosis for cancer patients treated with chemotherapeutic drug therapy. The alanine allele is a novel biomarker that predicts poor response and poor outcome to chemotherapeutic drug cancer therapy. Conversely, the valine allele predicts a good response and a good outcome to chemotherapeutic drug cancer therapy. Therefore, a genotype assay can be used to determine which alleles a subject is carrying, and subsequently this information can be used to determine if chemotherapeutic drug therapy is appropriate, and to customize therapy according to the patient's MnSOD genotype.05-28-2009
