  • Publication number: 20230098626
    Abstract: A personal protective device (PPE) comprising a face cover assembly and a bodysuit configured to be worn by a human user. The device protects users against airborne aerosol particles containing viruses or other infectious agents while enabling improved flexibility relative to prior art designs. The device includes a helmet-like” rotating face cover assembly that fits over the user's head and attaches to a collar on the biohazard bodysuit. This rotating face cover assembly has a plurality of different mask sides, each with differing geometries or other properties. The device enables a user to rotate (either manually or by electric motor) the masks and select a given mask side that best meets that user's needs. The different mask sides can accommodate different facial geometries, eyewear types, and use cases, such as operation in more hostile environments. Features to improve user comfort, including alternate bodysuit designs, moisture reduction, and cooling are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220361765
    Abstract: The invention features methods for detecting the hydration state or vascular volume of a subject using a device capable of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement. The methods involve exposing a portion of a tissue of the subject in vivo to a magnetic field and RF pulse from the device to excite hydrogen nuclei of water within the tissue portion, and measuring a relaxation parameter of the hydrogen nuclei in the tissue portion, the relaxation parameter being a quantitative measure of the hydration state or vascular volume of the subject as a whole. The invention also features devices and computer-readable storage media for performing the methods of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20210163872
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the dynamic co-culturing of two cell populations are provided. The system includes a barrier configured to physically separate a stimulator cell population from a responder cell population disposed within a container. The barrier is permeable to the secreted factors of at least one of the cell populations. The responder cell population can thereby be altered by exposure to the secreted factors to produce a population of reprogrammed cells that includes biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acids) originating from the stimulator cell population and/or that exhibits one or more additional or modified functional activities than a parental population of the reprogrammed cells.

  • Publication number: 20200383574
    Abstract: Methods of fluid assessment and treatment, which may include measuring a quantitative relaxation time (T2) of a muscle of a patient to determine whether the patient is hypovolemic, euvolemic, or hypervolemic. Methods of treatment may include determining a first fluid status of a patient by measuring a first quantitative relaxation time (T2) of a muscle of the patient, and administering to the patient a fluid reduction treatment or a hydration treatment.

  • Patent number: 10564237
    Abstract: A Unilateral Linear Halbach magnet configuration includes a central magnetized region recessed relative to adjacent magnetized regions disposed on opposite sides of the central magnetized region. The Unilateral Linear Halbach magnet configuration further includes side (or outer) magnetized regions disposed adjacent the center-adjacent magnetized regions. The center and center-adjacent magnetized regions have like-pointing magnetization vectors while the magnetization vectors of the side magnetized regions point in directions orthogonal to the magnetization vectors of the center and center-adjacent regions. Further, the magnetization vectors of the side magnetized regions point in opposite directions.

  • Publication number: 20130052198
    Abstract: The present invention provides particular anti-inflammatory factors, compositions containing them, methods of making, identifying, and/or characterizing them, and methods of using them. In some embodiments, provided factors are expressed by human bone marrow stromal cells (MSC). In some embodiments, provided factors are characterized by an ability, when contacted with mammalian leukocytes in culture, to alter production of at least one inflammatory or anti-inflammatory agent by the mammalian leukocytes. In some embodiments, provided factors include GALNT1 polypeptides, LGALS3BP polypeptides, MFAP5 polypeptides, PENK polypeptides and/or HAPLN1 polypeptides. In some embodiments, provided factors are useful in the inhibition of inflammatory agents, in the promotion of anti-inflammatory agents, and/or for the treatment of subjects suffering from or susceptible to a disease, disorder or condition characterized by inflammation.
