US Classification:

137296, 285 14, 294011

Abstract:

A nozzle attachment device for retrofitting fire hydrants with additional structure for reducing the potential that those with ill intent can foul municipal water supplies by introducing toxins or other materials into fire hydrants. Various embodiments include a housing with a channel and connection means for the fire hydrant's nozzle for efficient and cost effective installation, a seat and a valve within the channel which interact to close off portions of the hydrant otherwise available for receipt of toxic or other materials when the fire hydrant nozzle cap is unscrewed and open.

US Classification:

506 7, 435 614, 435 612, 506 16

Abstract:

Described herein are methods for predicting the recurrence, progression, and metastatic potential of a prostate cancer in a subject. For example, the method comprises detecting in a sample from a subject one or more biomarkers selected from the group consisting of FOXO1A, SOX9, CLNS1A, PTGDS, XPO1, LETMD1, RAD23B, ABCC3, APC, CHES1, EDNRA, FRZB, HSPG2, and TMPRSS2_ETV1 FUSION. The method can further comprise detecting in a sample from a subject one or more biomarkers selected from the group consisting of miR-103, miR-339, miR-183, miR-182, miR-136, and miR-221. An increase or decrease in one or more biomarkers as compared to a standard indicates a recurrent, progressive, or metastatic prostate cancer.
