The subject is presented ( 302 ) with the specific sensory stimulus, and for each basic emotion is further presented ( 306 ) with a computer-generated display comprising interactive animated visual images representative of a metaphorical concept corresponding with the basic emotion. Input is then received ( 308 ) from the subject, who is enabled to adapt the animated visual images to accord with an emotional response to the sensory stimulus. The received input is converted to a corresponding quantitative emotional response value for each basic emotion. The quantitative emotional response value may be a difference value derived from a change in emotional state of the subject and based upon an initial calibration of emotional state performed prior to presenting the subject with the sensory stimulus. A visual presentation ( 1000 ) is generated, which comprises representations ( 1004, 1012, 1014 ) of the quantitative emotional response values for each of the plurality of basic emotions, whereby the relative emotional response of the subject in respect of each basic emotion is visually distinguishable.

A hot spot detection system for automatically segmenting and quantifying hot spots in functional images includes a segmentation unit ( 76 ) to segment an anatomical image representation ( 72 ) into regions corresponding to anatomical structures of a subject. A hot spot detection unit ( 90 ) detects regions of high uptake from a functional second image representation ( 74 ). The regions of high tracer uptake indicate high metabolic activity which maybe caused by potentially hazardous tumor lesions or other malignant processes. However, a number of normally functioning organs uptake high amounts of imaging tracer, particularly FDG. Therefore, a suppression unit ( 102 ) suppresses regions of high tracer uptake in the functional second image representation based on the results of a classification unit ( 101 ). The classification unit classifies the regions of high tracer uptake according to their position relative to the anatomical structures segmented from the anatomical first image representation. The remaining un-suppressed regions of high uptake are identified by an identification unit ( 106 ) as one of potential lesion and non-potential lesion.

The invention relates to the use of a certain subset of cytokine markers as prognostic variables of infection status in an individual, and especially as prognostic markers of a patients developing severe infection such as pneumonia, and respiratory tract infection following surgery. The subset of cytokine markers consists of the interleukin cytokines IL-2, IL-7, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-IO, and Interferon-γ (INFγ) and Tissue Necrosis Factor-α (TNFα). The markers may be employed as individual prognostic variables of infection status, or they may be used in pairs or other combinations. Generally, the abundance of the markers is correlated with infection status by means of an absolute pre-operative value of biomarker abundance, ratio's of pre-operative to post-operative biomarker abundance, or ratio values for pairs of certain biomarkers within the subset. Typically, cytokine abundance is expressed in terms of mRNA copy number wherein the copy numbers are ideally normalised to a house keeping gene and quantification of mRNA copy number is determined by RT-PCR containing reference serial dilutions of cytokine specific cDNA.

Method and apparatus for machine error detection by combining multiple sensor inputs

Номер: US20120194335A1
Автор: James M. Brugger, Jeffrey H. Burbank
Принадлежит: Nxstage Medical Inc

One of the most significant safety concerns in the automation of extracorporeal blood treatments such as dialysis is the risk of blood leakage. Extracorporeal blood treatment systems draw blood at such a high rate that a loss of integrity in the blood circuit can be serious. There are a number of mechanisms for detecting and preventing leaks, but none is perfect. This tends to limit the use of such equipment in unsupervised settings, such as the home will be limited. Some leak detection schemes can be made sensitive enough to detect the barest of leaks, but when this is done, they result in too many false positives. The invention combines information from multiple inputs to enhance sensitivity in leak detection and reduce the problem of false positives.
