Abstract: A system for monitoring treatment of a patient includes data input and output utilities, memory, and a data processor, and communicates with an image data provider to receive therefrom image data indicative of combined PET-CT scan images including at least one first and at least one second pre-treatment full body scan image of a patient. The data processor includes an identifier utility that processes the image data to identify matching first and second 2D regions in, respectively, first 2D slices forming the first scan image and second 2D slices forming the second scan image, and locate at least one pair of corresponding first and second 3D regions in the scan images; and an analyzer that analyzes each pair of the first and second 3D regions and determine a change in at least one parameter in the first and second 3D regions, and generate output data indicative of said change.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a multi-modal sensor system, including a wearable device configured to receive signals relating to a swallowing process of a subject, the wearable device including one or more surface Electromyograph sensors configured to receive signals relating to electrical potential in muscles of the throat, one or more bio-impedance sensors, one or more memories, one or more processors configured to operate one or more sensors of the wearable device, synchronize the signals to one or more predetermined events to generate a synchronization feature, receive the signals as a first diagnostic data set, analyze the first diagnostic data set, assess, based on the analysis, the swallowing process of the subject to yield an assessment output, and present the assessment output and determine a bio-impedance signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for obtaining fullerene-like metal chalcogenide nanoparticles, comprising feeding a metal precursor selected from metal halide, metal carbonyl, organo-metallic compound and metal oxyhalide vapor into a reaction chamber towards a reaction zone to interact with a flow of at least one chalcogen material in gas phase, the temperature conditions in said reaction zone being such to enable the formation of the fullerene-like metal chalcogenide nanoparticles product. The present invention further provides novel IF metal chalcogenides nanoparticles with spherical shape and optionally having a very small or no hollow core exhibiting excellent tribological behaviour. The present invention further provides an apparatus for preparing various IF nanostructures.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for obtaining fullerene-like metal chalcogenide nanoparticles, comprising feeding a metal precursor (INi) selected from metal halide, metal carbonyl, organo-metallic compound and metal oxyhalide vapor into a reaction chamber (12) towards a reaction zone to interact with a flow of at least one chalcogen material (IN2) in gas phase, the temperature conditions in said reaction zone being such to enable the formation of the fullerene-like metal chalcogenide nanoparticles product. The present invention further provides novel IF metal chalcogenides nanoparticles with spherical shape and optionally having a very small or no hollow core and also exhibiting excellent tribological behavior.
