Abstract: Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for assessing, treating, and for developing new treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) using pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) values and/or cardiac output (CO) estimates.

Abstract: When dancing en pointe, the wearer's weight is typically supported by their toes. Pointe shoes, including a shank and a toe box, are worn to support the wearer's toes. However, the wearer's weight is mainly supported by their toes when dancing en pointe. A pointe shoe (100) is provided including a two-part fastener (110, 210) for adhering the wearer's heel and/or arch region of their foot to the shank (130) of the pointe shoe. In this way, when dancing en pointe, at least some of the wearer's weight is transferred to the toe box via the two-part fastener and the shank, such that pressure on their toes (320) is reduced.

Abstract: An improved spell check function and handheld electronic device provide a spell checking feature that includes a spell check algorithm that changes a suffix of a text entry by replacing each of one or more terminal characters thereof with a wild card element which can be any character or an absence of a character. A memory on the handheld electronic device has a plurality of language objects which are searched to identify language objects which correspond with the modified text entry with the terminal wild card element(s).

Abstract: An improved spell check function and handheld electronic device provide a spell checking feature that is available in a plurality of data entry fields of a plurality of applications. A memory on the handheld electronic device has a plurality of linguistic data sources which are searched for linguistic data during a spell check operation. Generic linguistic data is stored in a static data source, and other linguistic data is stored in a dynamic data source. An identification of a misspelled text entry results in an editing session being automatically opened on the misspelled text entry. Proposed spell check interpretations of a text entry are output in a list, and an actuation of a <MENU> key further results in the outputting of a menu of selectable spell check options. At least some of the selectable spell check options are selectable either with a track ball or with a key of a keypad.

Abstract: An improved spell check function and handheld electronic device provide a spell checking feature that includes provides a preference to a spell check algorithm that based upon extensive selection by the user of spell check results generated by the algorithm.

Abstract: The mirror image display method is used to suspend the main subject of a decorative or presentation display in mid air. This is accomplished by affixing the flat side of a symmetrically divided main subject flush onto a true first-surface mirror, which makes up one wall of the display body and eliminates the subjects visible seam line.

Abstract: DeltaShade is an attractive perennial, vegetatively propagated Stenotaphrum secundatum (St. Augustine grass) having a bright green color, shade tolerance, cold tolerance and a semi-dwarf leaf blade.

Abstract: An improved spell check function and handheld electronic device provide a spell checking feature that includes a character replacement spell check algorithm that provides a preference based upon the proximity of the characters replacing one another.

Abstract: An improved spell check function and handheld electronic device provide a spell checking feature that includes a spell check algorithm that alters a suffix of a text entry by deleting one or more terminal characters thereof. A memory on the handheld electronic device has a plurality of language objects which are searched to identify language objects which correspond with an initial, non-deleted portion of the text entry.

Abstract: Near infrared imaging using elastic light scattering and tissue autofluorescence and utilizing interior examination techniques and equipment are explored for medical applications. The approach involves imaging using cross-polarized elastic light scattering and/or tissue autofluorescence in the Near Infra-Red (NIR) coupled with image processing and inter-image operations to differentiate human tissue components.

Abstract: A method and device for finding isometric points in the joints of mammals for use in surgical repair of a joint. Isometric points are first identified in radiographic or other two dimensional images and then located in the actual joint. A method for repairing a cruciate ligament-deficient canine stifle employing the method and device for finding isometric points is described. A method and apparatus for locating the axis of rotation of a joint is also described.

Abstract: An instrument for measuring the isometric points in the joint of a mammal is provided.
