  • Publication number: 20200024667
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of determining whether a patient responds to a therapeutic treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), of monitoring the course of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a patient, of determining the risk for a relapse of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a patient, and of adjusting the dose of a therapeutic drug applied for therapeutic treatment of multiple sclerosis in a patient. Said methods are based on the determination of the level of at least one miRNA in a test sample isolated from the patient. The present invention also relates to a method of identifying a compound suitable for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in a patient.

  • Patent number: 9651919
    Abstract: A minute hand of a timepiece has a central arbor, on which, for driving around the same: a gearwheel is fixed in a first accommodating region, a flyback device is fixed in a second accommodating region, and a snail cam is arranged with an interference fit in a third accommodating region. The snail cam has an opening for accommodating the head of an eccentric and the flyback device has an opening for accommodating the finger of the eccentric, and therefore rotation of the eccentric head, via the flyback device fixed on the central arbor, makes it possible to rotate the snail cam by an angle about the central arbor relative to the gearwheel for setting the triggering point of the advancement operation by the minute control level.

  • Publication number: 20100067332
    Abstract: A watch includes a conventional hour hand and minute hand. The watch also includes a time zone display with a window in which information regarding a time zone is placed on a disc. This time zone includes a time display comprising at least one hour display, which may also be realized by a window in that an hour display for the displayed time zone is placed on a disc. A crown with a depressor is then provided, which is mechanically connected to the time zone display or the time display for the displayed time zone such that, by actuating the depressor, at least the hour hand may be brought into synchronization with the time zone determined by the time zone display. In this manner, the new local time may be set according to a predetermined time zone by a single operation without stopping the clockwork.
