Abstract: Provided herein are expanded allogeneic adipose tissue-derived stromal stem cells for use in treating complex perianal fistulas in Crohn's Disease.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system with markers for placing a retaining pile with asymmetrical reinforcement and method for using same, so that the reinforcement is disposed in the correct position. The system comprises at least one positioned separator and a marker-separator attached to transverse reinforcing means, at least one marker disposed on a guide wall or sleeve, the marker-separator being aligned with the marker or separated by a distance equal to or less than a predetermined safety value. The method for using the system comprises the steps of: positioning a separator and attaching a marker-separator to the transverse reinforcing means, positioning the marker on the guide wall or sleeve; aligning the marker-separator with the marker or positioning at a distance equal to or less than a predetermined safety value, when the asymmetrical reinforcement is placed inside the guide wall or sleeve.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for treating rheumatoid arthritis comprising the use of mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method of determining a lung disease from a patient suspected of sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer or pneumonia comprising: obtaining a sample from whole blood of the patient suspected of sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer or pneumonia; detecting expression of (although not exclusive) six or more disease genes, markers, or probes selected from SEQ ID NOS.: 1 to 1446, wherein increased expression of mRNA of upregulated sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer and pneumonia markers of SEQ ID NOS.: 1 to 1446 and/or decreased expression of mRNA of downregulated sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer or pneumonia markers of SEQ ID NOS.: 1 to 1446 relative to the expression of the mRNAs from a normal sample; and determining the lung disease based on the expression level of the six or more disease markers of SEQ ID NOS.: 1 to 1446 based on a comparison of the expression level of sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and pneumonia.

Abstract: Examples of the invention relate to a method, apparatus and computer program for performing a multimedia function in a computing device using a software wrapper component. The wrapper component comprises one or more multimedia software subcomponents. Each of the subcomponents performs at least part of the multimedia function. The wrapper component is capable in use of controlling the one or more multimedia subcomponents to perform the multimedia function in response to a request from a client component.
