  • Publication number: 20230184761
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting TB in a bodily fluid sample are described. By extracting extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the bodily fluid sample and employing antibody-conjugated nanoparticles to capture Mtb-related biomarkers, it is shown that the test can be completed within hours instead of weeks, and the detection limit can be significantly lowered with high accuracy. Additionally, the method and system described is capable of distinguishing between active and latent TB infections.

  • Patent number: 9196465
    Abstract: A method for detecting hepcidin. Having a sample liquid in contact with a nanochip having a specific surface coating structure of silicon oxide, so that hepcidin is enriched with specificity; eluting the nanochip with an eluent; by performing mass spectrometric detection on the elution product, determining the hepcidin content in the elution product. The enrichment method substantially enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of mass spectrometric detection.

  • Patent number: 7234607
    Abstract: A variable flow infant feeding assembly is designed so that a caregiver can select an optimal feeding flow rate without having to change nipples, as may be desired depending upon the age and appetite of the infant as well as the liquid that is being dispensed. Preferably, the assembly includes a baby bottle and a nipple member that has ventilation structure defined therein for permitting replacement air to enter the baby bottle during feeding. Retention structure such as a threaded ring member is provided for securing the nipple member to the baby bottle. Advantageously, variable restrictor structure is provided, preferably so as to be integral with the ring member, for selectively blocking at least a portion of the ventilation structure. By controlling the size of the opening through which replacement air flows into the baby bottle, the variable restrictor structure permits the feeding flow rate through the nipple member to be adjusted by a caregiver.
