Abrégé
A gas flow control device uses the curvature of nasal cannula or other tubes conveying the gas to control an actuator movable between two different configurations to permit or prevent gas flow. Curvature of the nasal cannula is measured by a sensor whose electrical resistance changes in response to the curvature of the sensor. The sensor is mounted on the cannula. Signals from the sensor are transmitted to a controller, which moves the actuator when the curvature exceeds or falls below a threshold value as measured by the change in electrical resistance of the sensor. The device finds use in oxygen therapy, where oxygen flow to a patient is cut off when the sensor indicates non-compliant behavior by the patient, indicating release of oxygen into the environment and causing a potential fire hazard.

A deep learning-based system and method is provided that uses a convolutional neural network to rapidly transform in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) images of unstained skin into virtually-stained hematoxylin and eosin-like images with microscopic resolution, enabling visualization of epidermis, dermal-epidermal junction, and superficial dermis layers. The network is trained using ex vivo RCM images of excised unstained tissue and microscopic images of the same tissue labeled with acetic acid nuclear contrast staining as the ground truth. The trained neural network can be used to rapidly perform virtual histology of in vivo, label-free RCM images of normal skin structure, basal cell carcinoma and melanocytic nevi with pigmented melanocytes, demonstrating similar histological features of traditional histology from the same excised tissue. The system and method enables more rapid diagnosis of malignant skin neoplasms and reduces invasive skin biopsies.

Instances of a single brain computer interface (BCI) system can be implemented on multiple devices. An active instance can control the associated device. The instances can each communicate with a neural decoding system that can receive neural signals from a user, process the neural signals, and output a command based on the processed neural signals. A device running the active instance of can be in communication with the neural decoding system to receive a command. The device can include a display, a non-transitory memory storing instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions to: run an instance of a control program; and execute the task based on the command.

Abrégé
Antibodies that penetrate cell nuclei and inhibit DNA repair or interfere with DNA metabolism are provided for treatment of cancer (both directly and by sensitizing cancer cells to DNA-damaging treatments) or inhibiting or preventing viral infection, proliferation or metabolism. The method involves treating cells with a composition containing cell-penetrating anti-DNA antibodies or derivatives thereof, alone or in combination with treatment that induces DNA damage such as DNA-damaging chemotherapy or radiation. The impact of the cell-penetrating anti-DNA antibodies or derivatives thereof is potentiated in cancer cells that are deficient in DNA repair, and the cell-penetrating anti-DNA antibodies or derivatives thereof are synthetically lethal to cancer cells with DNA repair deficiencies.

Abrégé
The present invention provides an encapsulated gas or partial vacuum particle contrast media for use in CT imaging. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention provides an enteric contrast medium formulation. An exemplary formulation comprises, (a) an enteric contrast medium comprising a encapsulated gas or partial vacuum particle suspended in water. Exemplary encapsulated gas or partial vacuum particle has a specific gravity between 0.2 and 1.5. In various embodiments, the encapsulated gas or partial vacuum particle is suspended in aqueous media by an agent compatible with enteric administration of the formulation to a subject in need of such administration. In an exemplary embodiment, the contrast material is incorporated into a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in which the material is suspended homogeneously. In an exemplary embodiment, the encapsulated gas or partial vacuum particle comprises 5% or more of the weight of the contrast material formulation. The invention also provides methods for imaging of the abdomen by dual energy CT or spectral CT contemporaneously with the delivery of the encapsulated gas or partial vacuum particle contrast material into the bowel lumen with or without the delivery of a second complementary contrast material into the blood vessels or other body compartments. The invention also provides methods for the digital separation of CT signal produced by the contrast media of the invention from the CT signal produced by other contrast media or bodily tissues to generate multiple resultant CT images with the contrast medium of the invention subtracted or highlighted.
