Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods associated with a reflectance-based projection-resolved (rbPR) optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) algorithm which uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) reflectance to enhance the flow signal and suppress the projection artifacts in 3-dimensional OCTA. rbPR improves the vascular connectivity and improved the discrimination of the deeper plexus angiograms in healthy eyes, compared to prior PR-OCTA method. Additionally, rbPR removes flow projection artifacts more completely from the outer retinal slab in the eyes with age-related macular degeneration, and preserves vascular integrity of the intermediate and deep capillary plexuses in the eyes with diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, the rbPR method improves the resolution of the choriocapillaris and demonstrates details comparable to scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract: A locking apparatus for an enclosed electronic device locking or releasing a latching member includes a rotating assembly, a sliding member defining a notch, an elastic member, and an electromagnet. The rotating assembly comprises two brackets and a rotating member. The rotating member comprises an opening. Opposite sides of the opening define a pulling portion and a resisting portion. Opposite ends of the elastic member connect to the pulling portion and the sliding member. The latching member resists against the resisting portion to rotate the rotating member. The sliding member moves to the latching member by the elastic member to make the notch engage with the latching member. The notch is removed from the latching member by the electromagnet, the sliding member pulls the elastic member to rotate the rotating member. The resisting portion resists against the latching member to remove the latching member from the sliding member.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for locating and identifying nerves innervating the wall of arteries such as the renal artery. The present invention identifies areas on vessel walls that are innervated with nerves; provides indication on whether energy is delivered accurately to a targeted nerve; and provides immediate post-procedural assessment of the effect of energy delivered to the nerve. The methods includes evaluating a change in physiological parameters after energy is delivered to an arterial wall; and determining the type of nerve that the energy was directed to (sympathetic or parasympathetic or none) based on the evaluated results. The system includes at least a device for delivering energy to the wall of blood vessel; sensors for detecting physiological signals from a subject; and indicators to display results obtained using said method. Also provided are catheters for performing the mapping and ablating functions.

Abstract: This invention provides a device for mapping and ablating the renal nerves distributed on renal artery, having a guide catheter, a mapping-ablation catheter, a handle and a connector. The guide catheter has at least one lumen and a distal end with adjustable curvature. The mapping-ablation catheter is housed in one of the lumens of the guide catheter and its distal end has one or more electrodes and one or more detecting devices. The distal end of the mapping-ablation catheter is curved, rotatable, and can be extended out of or retracted into the guide catheter. The handle connects the guide catheter and mapping-ablation catheter, and has one or more controlling components for controlling the movement of the guide catheter and mapping-ablation catheter. The connector is designed to supply energy to the electrodes.

Abstract: The method according to the invention includes the steps of: purging an inside of the processing chamber with gas while applying a thermal impact onto the thin film deposited on the inside of the processing chamber by decreasing the temperature in the processing chamber, so as to forcibly generate a crack in the thin film and forcibly peel the adhered material with a weak adhesive force, in a state where the substrate is not present in the processing chamber; removing the thin film deposited on the inside of the processing chamber by supplying a fluorine-based gas to the inside of the processing chamber heated to a first temperature, in the state where the substrate is not present in the processing chamber; and removing an adhered material remaining on the inside of the processing chamber after removing the thin film by supplying a fluorine-based gas to the inside of the processing chamber heated to a second temperature, in the state where the substrate is not present in the processing chamber.

Twenty-eight antigens have been identified as potential biomarkers for the early detection of basal-like breast cancer (Tables 1, 2). Also, a 13-AAb classifier has been developed that differentiate patients with BLBC from healthy controls with 33% sensitivity at 98% specificity (Table 3).
