Abstract: The present invention is directed to a food processor having a lid with a pour spout. The spout includes a wide mouth opening for easy introduction of food and liquids, and has a body that protrudes into the interior of the processor container. The spout body narrows as it extends into the interior of the container and is angled so that it points toward the center of the container. This helps to prevent splashback of food as its chopped while the food processor is operating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to biomarkers and biomarker panels useful in the prognosis and diagnosis of cancers, in particular epithelial cancers. The present invention also provides methods of treatment of patients diagnosed or having undergone diagnosis or prognosis using the biomarkers and biomarker panels of the invention. Kits for the analysis of the biomarkers and biomarker panels are also provided. The biomarker panel consists of COL11A1, CTS, ANXA6, LGALS3, ANXA1, AB13BP, COMP, COL1A1, LAMB1, CTSG, LAMA4, TNXB, FN1, AGT, FBLN2, HSPG2, COL6A6, VCAN, ANXA5, LAMC1, COL15A1 and VWF.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a surgical apparatus including a magazine which is arranged to receive a plurality of medical interventions particularly for use in surgery.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved cannula that enables a plurality of applications to such as tools to be utilized through a single cannula. According to the present invention there is a cannula having a distal end for insertion into a body, the distal end defining an opening to a primary conduit extending along the longitudinal axis of the cannula. The cannula further comprises a tool element for providing a tool function at or adjacent the distal end of the cannula. At least a portion of the tool element is arranged to be moveable outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis of the cannula. Accordingly, it is beneficial that more than one function can be provided at the distal end of the cannula reducing the trauma to the patient and improving access for the surgeon.
