Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of predicting the course of disease in a patient having a malignant melanoma, the method comprising determining in melanoma cells comprised in a sample obtained from said malignant melanoma the presence or amount of at least five biomarkers selected from the group comprising or consisting of MTAP, PTEN, Bax, Bcl-X, ?-Catenin, CD20, Cox-2, CD49d and MLH1, wherein the absence or decreased amount of MTAP and ?-Catenin and/or the presence or increased amount of PTEN, Bax, Bcl-X, CD20, Cox-2, CD49d and MLH1, is associated with a disadvantageous course of disease.

Abstract: A top-loading balance with a housing, a weighing pan, and a load receptor, wherein the load receptor is connected with a system carrier by a parallel guidance having an upper guide and a lower guide. The system carrier is fixed relative to the housing. One of the guides is divided into two part-guides which, seen in plan view, are disposed preferably on either side of the undivided guide so that the guides do not overlap. In addition, the load receptor, the guides and the system carrier preferably form an integral component. The top-loading balance also includes strain gauges on at least one of the guides to generate a load-dependent electrical signal, which can be measured and converted into e.g. a visual display of the mass. The integral component has two cavities for batteries and the system carrier extends between the two battery cavities. Furthermore, the load receptor is constructed to be approximately U-shaped and the two limbs of the U are disposed laterally near the battery cavities.
