  • Publication number: 20220195529
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of assessing whether a subject suffers from cancer or is prone to suffering from cancer, in particular lung cancer, comprising the measurement of the amounts of specific isoforms of GATA6 and/or NKX2-1 in a sample of said subject. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a composition for use in medicine comprising (an) inhibitor(s) of specific isoforms of GATA6 and/or NKX2-1.

  • Publication number: 20220061799
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining contractility independent of load Ees of at least one examined ventricle of a person. The chronological profile of blood pressure during isovolumetric contraction (IVK) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR) is first determined for at least one ventricle over at least one period of a person's heartbeat. The at least one resulting pressure curve is then calibrated and normalized, and then the end-systolic pressure is determined from this calibrated, normalized pressure curve. Furthermore, the profile of blood volume over time is determined during isovolumetric contraction (IVK) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR) for at least one ventricle over at least one period of a person's heartbeat, to then determine the end-systolic volume Ves therefrom.

  • Patent number: 10821116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods, compositions and kits useful for the treatment of pulmonary diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension. In particular, aerosolisable compositions of iloprost are provided which are for use in inhalation therapy. Their administration is by bolus inhalation, which is patient-friendly, effective, and well tolerated. Bolus inhalation may, for example, be achieved using an efficient nebuliser based on the vibrating mesh technology.
