Abstract: A dolly for transporting a load comprises a cradle detachably mounted to a handle. The cradle comprises a base having an upstanding rail extending upwardly from the perimeter of the base and terminates at a forward portion of the base to define an opening, a first mounting portion mounted to the front portion of the cradle and a pair of wheels rotatably mounted to the rear portion of the cradle. The handle comprises a least one wheel, a lever arm and a second mounting portion positioned at non-parallel angle with respect the lever arm. The first and second mounting portions are configured to detachable engage so that the handle and cradle can be moved as one unit.

Abstract: Methods for detecting a microorganism or cell in a subject and methods for detecting, imaging or diagnosing a site, disease, disorder or condition in a subject using microorganisms or cells and methods that microorganisms or cells for treating a disease, disorder or condition are provided. Sites, diseases and disorders include sites of cell proliferation, proliferative conditions, neoplasms, tumors, neoplastic disease, wounds and inflammation. Also provided are microorganisms and cells for use in the methods and compositions, combinations and kits, including diagnostic and pharmaceutical compositions, containing a microorganism or cell.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for detecting a microorganism or cell in a subject and methods for detecting, imaging or diagnosing a site, disease, disorder or condition in a subject using microorganisms or cells. Also described are methods which use microorganisms or cells for treating a disease, disorder or condition. Such sites, diseases and disorders include sites of cell proliferation, proliferative conditions, neoplasms, tumors, neoplastic disease, wounds and inflammation. Further described are microorganisms and cells for use in the methods and compositions, combinations and kits, including diagnostic and pharmaceutical compositions, containing a microorganism or cell. Microorganisms and cells described herein include those that bind, sequester or accumulate metal, such as those that provide for metal acquisition, transport, storage and/or metabolism. Additional imaging and therapy agents are also described.
