Abstract: Peripheral oedema causes a swelling of the legs of a patient due to an abnormal accumulation of fluids in the interstitium of the patient. Oedema is directly related to heart diseases, kidney and liver problems and pathological conditions. As such, is a useful indicator of a person's overall health. Oedema is typically assessed by a subjective manual test administered by a medical professional. As such, an objective assessment of oedema is often difficult to make. The present disclosure concerns a device for tissue condition measurement. The device enables an objective assessment of oedema to be made, by providing to a medical professional, or a medical ancillary worker, with information useful to judge the presence of oedema.

Abstract: A data profiling server extracts data from multiple data sources and stores the extracted data in a target data store. Validation functions are performed on the extracted to determine whether the data conforms to validation rules associated with the target data store and/or business logic definitions. For data that does not conform to the validation rules, the data profiling server identifies recommended transformations to be applied to the data to correct any errors that cause the data to not conform with the validation rules. A data profiling application presents to a user the data extracted from the multiple data sources in a grid structure. The grid structure also includes error indicators identifying the data that does not conform to the validation rules and specifies the recommended transformations identified by the data profiling server.

Abstract: Systems, combinations, and/or methods for separating plasma from a drop of blood use a capillary tube and a filter membrane having a rough side and a smooth side. The pores on the rough side of the filter membrane are large enough for blood cells to enter and be captured. The pores on the smooth side of the filter membrane are small enough to block blood cells, but allow the plasma within the drop of blood to pass through the smooth side of the filter membrane.
