Abstract: Disclosed is portable organ transportation system including a mobile cart and an organ container. At least one of the mobile cart and the organ container include a latch for releasably attaching the organ container to the mobile cart. The organ container may be a portable organ preservation device or a portable organ perfusion apparatus.

Abstract: A vascular remodeling device is provided. The device includes an anchor portion, sized for deployment in a blood vessel, that is radially expandable from a collapsed state to an expanded state. The device also includes a distal portion that is sized for deployment in a blood vessel. The distal portion is radially expandable from a collapsed state to an expanded state and, in some embodiments, has a distal face that is sufficiently occlusive in the distal-to-proximal direction to perform a therapeutic blocking function at an aneurysm. Some embodiments have an intermediate portion that connects a distal end of the anchor portion and a proximal end of the distal portion, and in some embodiments, the anchor portion and distal portion are able to pivot relative to each other at or near the intermediate portion.

The device also includes a distal portion sized for deployment in a blood vessel. The distal portion is radially expandable from a collapsed state to an expanded state and has a distal face that is sufficiently occlusive in the distal-to-proximal direction to perform a therapeutic blocking function in an aneurysm neck. The device also has an intermediate portion that interconnects a distal end of the anchor portion and a proximal end of the distal portion. In some embodiments, the anchor portion and/or distal portion has a plurality of interconnected struts.

Abstract: Presented is a method that uses a system comprising a secure server to generate a customized market data stream for a client, according to the client's current involvement in, for example, market making or in portfolio management. Some alerts are distributed to all clients, others are sent to those clients that have one or more qualifying open master orders on a particular symbol. Still other alerts signify that a contra order is present in the book maintained by the secure server. The alerts facilitate hidden-book order placement and execution.

Abstract: Presented is a system and method for performing crossing of institutional security orders. The system includes a first server interconnected to a second server and client stations across a communication network. The first server includes a database and is configured to receive institutional orders from the client station, which are stored in the database. The first server includes operating instructions operable to determine whether a match exists between contra institutional orders based on predetermined criteria. Upon determination of a match, the first server forwards a child order composed of at least a portion of one of the contra orders to the second server. At a fraction of a second later, the first server forwards the other of the contra orders to the second server followed by the remaining portion of the contra order.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for detecting, diagnosing or monitoring a renal cancer in a subject. The methods include detecting quantity of one or more polypeptides or fragments thereof comprised by body fluid such as urine, wherein the one or more polypeptides or fragments thereof, can be present at elevated levels in a subject with a kidney cancer, as compared to a subject without a kidney cancer. Non-limiting examples of such polypeptides include aquaporin-1, adipose differentiation-related protein and paired box protein-2. Antibody probes can be used to detect or quantify the polypeptides. In some embodiments, mass spectroscopy can be used to detect or quantify the polypeptides, or to identify a polypeptide in a body fluid sample from a subject with a kidney cancer.

Abstract: Presented is a system and method for performing crossing of institutional security orders. The system includes a first server interconnected to a second server that provides an away market for order execution, and includes client stations across a communication network. The first server includes a database and is configured to receive institutional orders from the client station, which are stored in the database. The first server includes operating instructions operable to determine whether a match exists between contra institutional orders based on predetermined criteria. Upon determination of a match, the first server forwards a child order composed of at least a portion of one of the contra orders to the second server. A plurality of participants in the away market have an opportunity to execute a transaction with the child order leading to price improvement on one side of the trade.

Abstract: Compounds for use as PET probes and methods for synthesizing and using these, comprising [18F]D-FAC and other cytosine and adenosine analogs.
