Abstract: An airway support device is provided having a head support pillow with a bottom surface and an opposing top surface adapted to contact and support a side of a patient's head. A chin support is adapted to be positioned adjacent to the pillow where the chin support positions and supports a chin of the patient to provide an unobstructed airway.

Abstract: A method of producing a population of differentiated cells comprising: a) inducing differentiation in a first population of cells by applying an inducer to said cells, b) harvesting microvesicles produced from first population of cells, and c) inducing differentiation in a second population of cells by applying said microvesicles or a derivative thereof to said second population of cells wherein, said first population of cells is autologous to said second population of cells and wherein the inducer applied to said first population of cells is not present in said second population of cells or is only present in trace amounts. Also related methods of producing microvesicles, methods of medical and/or cosmetic treatment and related products and uses.

Abstract: A method of inducing genotypic modification in a cell, which comprises providing isolated RNA comprising RNA extractable from source tissue to the cell under conditions whereby the desired induction of genotypic modification is achieved, wherein the RNA is isolated polyA positive RNA in substantially pure form.

Abstract: A method of effecting a treatment response in a target tissue of a subject, comprising: administering to the subject isolated RNA comprising an RNA sequence extractable or extracted from a source tissue such that said treatment response is effected; wherein the RNA is isolated polyA positive RNA in substantially pure form.

Abstract: The invention relates to the alteration of cell properties using RNA molecules. In particular, it relates to the alteration of the ability of cells to mobilise, migrate, integrate, proliferate and/or differentiate. For example, it relates to the induction of differentiation of stem cells, including the acquisition of the ability to migrate, integrate, and proliferate. It also relates to the induction of in vivo stem cell mobilisation, migration, integration, proliferation and/or differentiation. Accordingly, it relates to the promotion of stem cell-mediated functional repair. The invention also relates to the reversal of differentiation of differentiated cells. All these effects may be effected by providing isolated RNA comprising a RNA sequence extractable from cells comprising the desired cell type(s) to a population of cells under conditions whereby the alteration of the cell property is achieved.

Abstract: Ladder securing device comprising a bracket and building structure engagement means. The bracket has a ladder clamping means operative to clamp the device to a stile of a ladder. The bracket has a first clamping surface operative to abut against a first side of the stile and a second, movable clamping surface operative to adjustably clamp the stile by moving the second clamping surface towards the first clamping surface so that the second clamp surface abuts a second side of the stile spaced from the first side of the stile. The building structure engagement means is adapted to engage the device with a building structure. The structure engagement means including at least one arm with an engagement surface at least a portion of which extends downwardly in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the bracket to engage a surface of the structure facing in a direction opposite to the side of the structure facing the ladder.

Abstract: Apparatus for high speed grinding includes a diamond-bonded abrasive wheel, a drive mechanism for mounting and rotating the grinding wheel at peripheral speeds up to approximately 200 m/s, and a liquid coolant supply system including a delivery system for directing liquid coolant to the point of grinding contact.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for cutting multiple strands of material such as radar reflective chaff comprises at least one movable knife blade (36) with a series of ejector pins (26) which lightly contact the material surface during cutting and a stripper plate (40) which is pressed against the material surface for holding the material during cutting. During cutting, the ejector pins (26) and stripper plate (40) are moved into contact with the material, the blade or blades (36) then cut through the material and the pins (26) and plate (40) are retained in contact with the cut material whilst the or each blade is withdrawn from the cut material.
