20150111772DIAGNOSTIC MIRNA PROFILES IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS - The invention relates to methods for diagnosing multiple sclerosis with miRNA markers. Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) can be challenging in patients with atypical presentations and during a first neurological deficit possibly related to inflammatory demyelination. Towards the identification of biomarkers for diagnosis of MS, a comprehensive analysis of miRNA expression patterns was obtained. Significantly deregulated miRNAs were identified, which have previously not been related to MS according to the microRNA disease database. These miRNAs could potentially serve as future diagnostic biomarkers for MS and help in diagnosis, monitoring disease activity, and evaluation of treatment responses in patients with MS.04-23-2015

20080307878Method and sensor for detecting occurrences of wetting on a pane - The method operates with successive, continuously repeated measuring cycles. In a first cycle section, a measuring capacitor is charged up to a first threshold value by the current flowing in a light receiver of a first optical measuring section. In a subsequent, second cycle section the measuring capacitor is discharged to a second threshold value by the current flowing in a light receiver of a second optical measuring section. The light transmitters of the optical measuring sections are regulated over several measuring cycles to predetermined rated values for the charging time and the discharging time. A wetting of the pane is concluded from the momentary deviations between the rated values and the actually measured values of the charging times and discharging times. The available modulation range is adapted dynamically to the prevailing conditions by the systematic control of the intensity of the light transmitters in the two optical measuring sections. In addition, the upper limit of the modulation range is extended to higher values of the ambient light.12-18-2008
