Abstract: A method computerized optically analyzes methods of conventional, preferably non-contrast-enhanced, MR (magnetic resonance) images of the liver. The method enables the detection of steatohepatitis by NASH-MRI and significant fibrosis by Fibro-MRI in patients suffering from NAFLD. The method enables forecasting the rate of disease progression, to support therapeutic decision-making, and to monitor potential therapeutic effects.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device for turning on a fluorescent lamp and a fluorescent lamp comprising said device, wherein said fluorescent lamp comprises a fluorescent tube (1) having an electrical terminal (2) at each end, and wherein said fluorescent lamp is connected in parallel with an electronic module (3) and a voltage source configured to supply said fluorescent lamp, said electronic module (3) being configured to turn on a burnt-out fluorescent lamp keeping it turned on until the end of its service life as its light intensity is reduced.

Abstract: Progressive Surgical Distraction Device (PSDD) intended for enabling gradual atraumatic access to cavities and zones inside the human body and for allowing controlled extraction of the liquids contained therein, particularly open foetal surgery and neurosurgery. It is composed of a set of cylindrical and semi-cylindrical parts of increasing diameters and decreasing lengths that fit into each other telescopically, each enabling the successive extraction of the inner part. The progressive distraction of the muscular fibres does not subject them to traction, avoids haemorrhages and allows the controlled diversion of liquids without accumulation of residues. The last part of the sequence is designed to allow an optimum mobilisation of the clamping system via directly viewed control of the intervention zone and surgical field.
