Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for predicting the risk of developing pulmonary colonization/infection by P. aeruginosa. The inventors analyzed the respiratory tract microbiota from 65 patients sputum samples and compared microbiota data. The inventors found that patients that will remain uninfected from P. aeruginosa exhibited 3-fold higher abundance of Porphyromonas compared to the other groups. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for predicting the risk of developing pulmonary colonization/infection by P. aeruginosa in a subject suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) comprising measuring the abundance of Porphyromonas genus bacteria in a biological sample obtained from said subject.

Abstract: A method is provided for determining a coupling between magnetometers of an array of N magnetometers, for example with optical pumping, where each magnetometer includes a field cancellation system capable of being activated to operate the magnetometer in zero field. This method includes a first phase during which one of the N magnetometers is a measuring magnetometer whose field cancellation system is activated and the other N-1 magnetometers have their field cancellation system deactivated. This first phase includes generation by the magnetometers, of a plurality of reference magnetic fields of known amplitudes and distinct directions, the measurement, by the measuring magnetometer, of the ambient magnetic field on a plurality of measurement axes, and determination of coupling coefficients between the measuring magnetometer and each of the N magnetometers from said measurement and said known amplitudes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for removal of unwanted, in particular acidic gas constituents, for example carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, from a crude synthesis gas by gas scrubbing with a scrubbing medium. According to the invention the flash gases obtained during the decompression of the laden scrubbing medium are supplied to a recompressor in order to recycle these to the crude synthesis gas and thus utilize them materially after the recompression. Alternatively or in addition the flash gases may also be supplied to a decompression turbine to recover refrigeration and mechanical work. If the recompressor and/or the decompression turbine are/is designed to have multiple stages, the flash gases obtained at different pressure levels are preferably supplied to a corresponding pressure level of the recompressor and/or of the decompression turbine.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes treatment of the vasculature of a patient with an expandable implant. The implant is constrained to a reduced delivery diameter for delivery within the vasculature by at least one sleeve. The implant can be constrained to other diameters, such as an intermediate diameter. The sleeves can be expanded, allowing for expansion of the diameter of the expandable implant, by disengaging a coupling member from the sleeve or sleeves from outside of the body of the patient. The expandable implant can comprise a steering line or lines which facilitate bending and steering of the expandable implant through the vasculature of a patient.
