Abstract: Methods and systems for obtaining a probabilistic diagnosis based on medical images of a patient are disclosed. In exemplary embodiments, such methods include the steps of scanning some or all of a patient to obtain a medical image; evaluating the medical image for one or more designated key features; assigning discrete values to the one or more designated key features to form a patient scan key feature pattern; and transmitting the values of the one or more designated key features to a processor programmed to match the patient scan key feature pattern to one or more known disease-specific key feature patterns to create a probabilistic diagnosis and transmit the probabilistic diagnosis to a user. Associated systems include a medical imaging device that is capable of producing a medical image of some or all of a patient and a processor programmed to create a probabilistic diagnosis.

Abstract: One embodiment of a fire-kindler which produces a solitary flame cone comprised of pre-mixed air and fuel gases and an increased flame velocity. Comfortably portable in ones' back pocket, a conveniently accessible product of easy use. More reliable in and resistant to adverse outdoor conditions when igniting a woodfire. Comprised of a geometrically shaped plate of combustible material, body of fire-kindler 8 of FIGS. 1,2 and 3 has a multiplicity of air apertures 14A-16A18A, thru, 14F-16F-18F of FIG. 2 passing therethrough. Working co-operatively to produce a strong increased flame velocity in a more neutral solitary flame. Thus establishing a more intense heat output in a more persistently sturdy flame that remains more consistently focused among adverse winds. Thereby, increasing the application of heat and the speed and ease of firewood ignition.
