Abstract: A device may include an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal input configured to receive ECG signals of a patient. A device may include an ECG analysis system, in communication with the ECG signal input, configured to receive patient ECG signals, analyse the patient ECG signals to generate an ECG refibrillation indicator representing a likelihood of refibrillation of the patient and use the ECG refibrillation indicator to choose treatment for the patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to miRNAs that are differentially expressed in samples of an individual having colon cell proliferative disorder, or having a high risk of developing colon cell proliferative disorder, as compared to the corresponding sample of an individual not having colon cell proliferative disorder, or having low risk of developing colon cell proliferative disorder, respectively. In some embodiments, the miRNAs are differentially expressed in a tissue sample or blood plasma sample of an individual having a colorectal lesion and having a high risk of developing colon cell proliferative disorder as compared to the corresponding tissue sample or blood sample of an individual having the colorectal lesion and having no risk or low risk of developing colon cell proliferative disorder. These differentially expressed miRNAs can be used as biomarkers for diagnosis, treatment, and/or prevention of a colon cell proliferative disorder, particularly, in a subject having a colorectal lesion.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of increasing the size of particulates in a gas comprising particulates, e.g. a gas that is formed from the combustion of fuels. The method comprises mixing an ionised gas stream with the gas comprising particulates.

Abstract: A method and apparatus described herein uses sensors to detect illumination indicative of an active auto-focus system in the IR, near IR, and visible light spectrums. This signal is used to trigger a light in the visible spectrum that disrupts a contrast differencing, passive auto-focus system.

Abstract: A device for remotely decoupling coupled objects with a fusible link underwater using a replaceable fusible link of appropriate electrical resistance, a method to supply a high-power charge of electricity across the fusible link, a mechanism held by the fusible link to hold and release a secondary link between the coupled objects and to add mechanical advantage to the strength of the fusible link, and a command-signal delivery system that enables remote activation of the device.
