Patent number: 12130347Abstract: Provided is a method for performing reconstruction and noise removal with high accuracy on various undersampling patterns including equidistant undersampling. An image processing unit that processes measurement data acquired by an MRI apparatus performs image reconstruction by using measurement data on respective channels measured in a predetermined undersampling pattern and sensitivity distributions of respective reception coils. At this time, denoising of a reconstructed image and a calculation for maintaining consistency between original measurement data and the measurement data on the respective channels created from denoised images are sequentially processed. Accordingly, image restoration and denoising with high accuracy are possible without depending on the undersampling pattern.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Tomoki Amemiya, Toru Shirai, Atsuro Suzuki, Yukio Kaneko, Hiroki Shoji, Keisuke Nishio

Publication number: 20240307641Abstract: A CPAP system includes a CPAP device and a reception part. The CPAP device is capable of executing a determination process, a first transmission process, and a second transmission process. The determination process is a process in which a determination about whether a respiratory therapy with the CPAP device has been performed within a predetermined fixed period is made. The first transmission process is a process in which execution completion information is transmitted to the reception part in response to a determination in the determination process. The second transmission process is a process in which non-execution information is transmitted to the reception part in response to a determination in the determination process. The reception part is capable of executing a surmise process in which a non-therapy period in which the respiratory therapy has not been performed is surmised based on the execution completion information and the non-execution information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2024Publication date: September 19, 2024Inventors: Masayuki SHIRAI, Takanori HAYASHI, Hiroki JINNOUCHI

Publication number: 20240209108Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an anti-CLDN4/anti-CD137 bispecific antibody usable in treatment of cancer. An anti-CLDN4/anti-CD137 bispecific antibody produced using an anti-CLDN4 antibody binding to CLDN4 and an anti-CD137 antibody binding to CD137 had agonistic activity for CD137, promoted production of interferon ? by a T cell, and exhibited cytotoxic activity against a cancer cell expressing CLDN4 on a cell surface thereof. Besides, it was shown that the anti-CLDN4/anti-CD137 bispecific antibody can be safely administered to monkeys. Therefore, the anti-CLDN4/anti-CD137 bispecific antibody is usable in treatment of human cancer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2022Publication date: June 27, 2024Applicants: Astellas Pharma Inc., National Cancer CenterInventors: Yoshiyuki TENDA, Masatoshi YURI, Shigenori YAGI, Yoshiki SATAKE, Kazunori HIRAYAMA, Hiroki SHIRAI, Hiroki SASAKI, Fumiko CHIWAKI, Masayuki KOMATSU
