Abstract: A method of characterising tremor stability in a subject is described for a subject having an involuntary tremor symptomatic of a neurological disorder. The method comprising: identifying a series of tremor cycles from measured tremor data of the subject, said tremor cycles measuring periodic variation in movement of the subject due to the tremor; determining an instantaneous frequency for each tremor cycle and collating the instantaneous frequencies; determining an instantaneous variation between the instantaneous frequencies of each pair of adjacent tremor cycles within the series; comparing the instantaneous variation to the collation of determined instantaneous frequencies to determine a distribution of instantaneous variations; and determining an index value of the distribution of the instantaneous variations, said index value defining the stability of the tremor.

Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions to target delivery of cells to a tissue lesion, thereby treating the lesion. For example, biotinylated antibodies with affinity to a lesion epitope are administered at the lesion. Reparative cells including avidin and biotin are then administered at the lesion. The reparative cells are targeted to the lesion via avidin-biotin bridges to the antibodies, with additional cells recruited to the lesion via cell-to-cell avidin-biotin bridges. In certain examples, antibody-reparative cell complexes are formed by mixing the biotinylated antibodies with the reparative cells including avidin and biotin. The complexes are then administered at the lesion. In other examples, multivalent antibodies are used to target reparative cells to the lesion, such as by binding an epitope at the lesion and an epitope present on the reparative cell. In other examples, the antibodies are chemically linked to a reparative cell or to a nanosome containing a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the determination of impedances in an electrical network. Methods and apparatuses for determining one or more impedances within a root and branch network are disclosed. The impedance of a common root part and the impedance of a branch of the electrical network may be determined based on the current in the common root part, the current in a branch of the electrical network and the voltage across the common root part and the branch. By determining the impedance of different parts of the electrical network in this way, the network may be monitored over time and the location of any faults or impending faults in the network may be identified more exactly without requiring invasive network probing and testing.
