Antigens Derived from Biofilm-like Microcolony Persister Form of Borrelia burgdorferi Improve Serodiagnosis of Lyme Disease

Unmet NeedLyme disease is one of many tick-transmitted diseases. Further investigation has revealed that Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdoferi. These bacteria transmit to humans via an infected deer tick and has affected over 25,000 Americans in the United States in 2002. Currently there are estimated to be 300,000 cases a year...

Method of Fast Imaging of NMR Parameters with Variably-accelerated Sensitivity Encoding (vSENSE)

Unmet Need: Long scan times due to its requirement that multiple saturation-offset image frames be acquired is the underlying reason that widespread clinical use of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging is hampered. Technology Overview: The invention is a novel method that fully samples one CEST saturation frame, then undersamples the...

Method of Spatially-encoded NMR Parameters from Arbitrarily-shaped Compartments an Linear Algebraic Modeling

SLAM is a new method to accelerate the acquisition of NMR and MRI measurements that are spatially localized to arbitrarily shaped compartments, many-fold. If compartment-average indices can suffice, SLAM can speed-up clinical or animal studies by up to scores-fold, and generate quantitatively equivalent results to compartment average measures obtain...
