Publication number: 20230148371Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting and/or quantitatively assessing cardiac dyssynchrony of a subject based on at least one medical imaging scan showing at least part of the myocardium of the subject’s heart, in particular mechanical cardiac dyssynchrony. The medical imaging scan may provide a plurality of values of a predefined myocardial deformation parameter of said part of the myocardium. In a preferred embodiment the method comprises the steps of 1) determining a myocardial deformation deviation between pairs of myocardial deformation parameter values selected from the myocardium of substantially opposite parts of a cardiac chamber, and 2) calculating the cardiac dyssynchrony of the subject based on said myocardial deformation deviation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Region Nordjylland, Aalborg University HospitalInventor: Tomas Zaremba

Patent number: 10301624Abstract: Methods for treating cancer, e.g., cancer of epithelial origin, by specifically targeting human satellite II (HSATII) using sequence specific agents such as oligonucleotides. As shown herein, the hetero chromatic HSATII satellite repeat is silenced in normal cells, but massively over expressed in epithelial cancers and in cancer cell lines when grown as xenografts or in 3D culture. Induction of HSATII RNA, either in xenografts or using in vitro reconstitution models, suggests the appearance of complementary DNA intermediates.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignees: The General Hospital Corporation, Aalborg UniversityInventors: David T. Ting, Daniel A. Haber, Shyamala Maheswaran, Francesca Bersani, Anders M. Naar, Mihir Shivadatta Rajurkar, Sakari Kauppinen, Andreas Petri

Patent number: 9628001Abstract: An apparatus for controlling force of a magnetic lead screw actuator includes a magnetic lead screw actuator, an external control module and at least one sensor device integrated within the magnetic lead screw actuator. The magnetic lead screw actuator includes an electric machine, a rotor, and a translator. The rotor includes a rotor magnet assembly forming first helical magnetic threads along the rotor and the translator includes a translator magnet assembly forming second helical magnetic threads along the translator. Rotation of the rotor by the electric machine effects linear translation of the translator by interaction of the first and second helical magnetic threads. The external control module is electrically operatively coupled to an electric machine controller of the magnetic lead screw actuator.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignees: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC, AALBORG UNIVERSITYInventors: Klaus Trangbaek, Vladimir Suplin, Rasmus Koldborg Holm, Nick Ilso Berg, Peter Omand Rasmussen
