Abstract: Biomarkers that are indicative of the response to the therapy of the inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are described. Also described are probes capable of detecting the biomarkers and related methods and kits for predicting the response to the therapy of the inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract: A system for at least one of warning of a possible wildfire or preventing a wildfire ignition in a selected area of interest includes a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory medium. The instructions include receiving input data related to conditions that are relevant to igniting a wildfire in the selected area of interest. The instructions also include creating a model of a possible wildfire ignition in the selected area of interest using an artificial intelligence algorithm that is trained with the input data, providing an output from the model related to the possible wildfire ignition, and transmitting an alert notification automatically in response to the output exceeding a selected threshold value. The system also includes at least one of a warning device or a wildfire ignition prevention device configured to be automatically activated in response to receiving the alert notification.

Abstract: Biomarkers that can be used for the detection or diagnosis of disease states, preferably inflammatory bowel disease states, the identification of a treatment regimen for inflammatory bowel disease, and/or to indicate the responsiveness to the treatment regimen for inflammatory bowel disease in a subject are described. Also described are probes capable of detecting the biomarkers and related methods and kits for determining inflammatory bowel disease states and/or identification of treatment regimens for the inflammatory bowel disease states.

Abstract: A drainage system with filter connection includes a water pump body, a water inlet pipe connected to the water pump body, a water outlet pipe connectable to the water inlet pipe in an orientation forming an annular cavity between an inner surface of the water outlet pipe and an outer surface of the water inlet pipe, a water storage apparatus in communication with the water outlet pipe, a connection fastener for connecting the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe to form the annular cavity, and a filter disposed at least partially within the annular cavity. A locating ring is on the periphery of the filter, a cross-section width (W) of the locating ring being greater than a spacing (L) between a front end surface of the connection fastener and a stop surface on the water storage apparatus.

Abstract: A drainage system includes a water pump body, a water pump body water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe, a water storage apparatus and a connection fastener. The connection fastener is connected to the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are being joined embedded to form an annular cavity. The inside of the annular cavity includes a filter, the periphery of the filter having a locating ring, the cross-section width of the locating ring is greater than the spacing between the front end surface of the connection fastener and a stop surface, and the connection fastener includes a clamping apparatus. If a user forgets to mount the filter, the annular cavity between the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe makes the connection between the water pump and the water storage apparatus unstable.
