20120184838 | NON-INVASIVE DEEP MUSCLE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY - A method and apparatus for conducting electromyography of a deep muscle non-invasively are provided. An array of suitable surface electromyography electrodes is arranged in one or more rings encircling a part of the human body in which a deep muscle being investigated is located. The potential of at least selected electrodes relative to another electrode selected from a common reference electrode (mono-polar) and other electrodes (bi-polar) in the array is recorded and the data is processed in respect of the recorded potentials of at least some of said selected electrodes in order to determine (optionally using approximations or algorithms, or both) the contribution being made by at least the deep muscle being investigated. Typically, this is done mathematically by resolving the electromyography signals into their constituent components using a suitable technique. Preferably, this is integrated with a static muscle imaging device that may use the same electrodes to obtain a static tomogram of the muscles encircled. | 07-19-2012 |
20120003642 | OLIGONUCLEOTIDES AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO SOFT TISSUE INJURIES - A method of determining in a subject a predisposition to, or increased risk for, developing a tendon, ligament, or other soft tissue injury or pathology, the method comprising the step of screening the subject for the presence of at least one poly-morphism in at least one gene family selected from the group consisting of any one or more of: the matrix metallo-protease (MMP) family, the collagen family, including the COL5A1 and COL12A1 genes, the glycoprotein family, including the TNC and COMP genes, and derivatives thereof, which polymorphism is a polymorphism which results in a modified, augmented, or gated interaction with other members of the gene families mentioned herein, when compared to a wild-type interaction. | 01-05-2012 |
20110230756 | FLUID FLOW ASSESSMENT - A method of assessing fluid flow in a body is provided which includes phase contrast velocity encoded MRI scanning the body to obtain the velocity of fluids flowing in each of a plurality of volume elements (voxels) in three orthogonal directions; determining whether the flow in each voxel ( | 09-22-2011 |
