Abstract:

Systems and methods for processing medical image data with increased sensitivity to facilitate comparisons among groups of subjects are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a first three-dimensional image comprising a plurality of voxels, reducing a regional trend within the three-dimensional image, computing a semivariogram for a region of interest, defining at least one block of spatially correlated voxels, calculating voxel weights for each voxel within the at least one block, and determining a block average count and variance for the at least one block.

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods of gene therapy to prevent or treat exposure to organophosphate (OP) toxins, such as that observed in Gulf War Syndrome patients. In particular, vectors comprising the PON1 gene, which express the enzyme paraoxonase, can be used to prevent damage from OP toxins when given prior to exposure, or to reduce the toxic effects after exposure. Depending on the PON1 isotype (R or Q), protection against particular toxins may be achieved.

US Classification:

Abstract:

Rapid development of a collaborative database uses a spreadsheet application to implement the database. Each parameter of the database variables is entered into a corresponding cell in the spreadsheet. A first spreadsheet code is entered that refers to selected cells related to a first variable and resolves into database code that instructs a database application to create the first variable in the collaborative database. A second spreadsheet code is also entered also referring to selected cells related to the first variable and resolves into application server (AS) code that instructs an application server to generate a graphical data entry form for that variable. In order to develop the same database and AS code for the remaining variables, the developer uses the autofill function of the spreadsheet to autofill the spreadsheet codes to cells related to the other variables and resolving into their own database and AS codes.
