Abstract: Method for repairing plastic dividers (1), having longitudinal internal cavities (100), by following the steps of: identifying and extracting the damaged areas to be repaired (2), some gaps (4) being defined, preparing inserts (5) with a shape matching the gaps (4), and attaching by heat welds (8) the inserts (5) in the gaps (4); wherein the damaged areas to be repaired are extracted by cuts (3) with a curved path, and wherein in the step of preparing the inserts (5), the inserts are machined with an outer edge (50) aligned with the edges (10) of the divider (1), and an inner edge (51) parallel to the curved path of the cut (3), there being defined between the cut (3) made in the divider (1) and the inner edge (51) of the insert (5) a filling space (7) for filling with filler material (8).

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring pulsatile flows are disclosed. One method includes obtaining a plurality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of a biological structure, acquired consecutively in time, each of the MRI scans acquired using a modified True FISP sequence. The method also includes assembling the plurality of scans into a video file of the biological structure and identifying pulsatile features within the video file.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel immunostimulatory molecules which are derived from the intestinal protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. The compounds have been found to be useful for enhancing and/or inducing an immune response in a subject in need thereof. Specifically, the compounds have been found to be useful for the treatment of cancer diseases, such as breast cancer, and parasitic diseases, such as leishmaniasis. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the novel compounds.
