This invention yields the most accurate and clinically useful predictor of myocardial viability - with no ionizing radiation or radioactive agents. The system is a software add-on to MRI systems that gives clear and ...

Urinary aquaporin-I (AQP-1) and adipose differentiation-related protein (ADFP) as biomarkers of kidney cancer. This is a new process, applicable to humans, for 1) early and noninvasive detection of renal cancer, 2) population ...

Scour is a process in which a fluid erodes material supporting a structure. When scour occurs near a bridge, the associated erosion can cause that bridge to collapse. Bridge collapses occur in hours or days. To prevent ...

The invention relates to novel diagnostic methods for functionally assessing the presence of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in living subjects, including model organisms, animals and humans. While MPO is central to normal ...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) affect a large proportion of the population and account for significant morbidity and high medical costs. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is responsible for up to 85% of infections and ...

The invention can be used as a wound care material for treating both hard and soft tissues in mammals. Wounds such as diabetic ulcers or other open wounds can be covered with this bioactive and biodegradable material to ...

Physiologically based drought stress evaluation is desirable for sustainable biomass production and irrigation, but effective measurements and technologies are lacking. The present invention provides a method and apparatus to measure water...

Researchers at the UMKC School of Medicine have developed a method of purifying [delta]-tocotrienol to levels that were previously impossible to obtain. The purification methods that we have developed are much less expensive ...

of the eye and processed to authenticate or identify individuals. The technology can work with less light, on non-compliant targets, and from much greater distances than currently employed methods. It can function as a stand-alone biometric or could be used...

the negative impact of conditions such as amblyopia, which affects 2-3% of children and is the most common cause of monocular visual impairments in young and middle-aged adults. Researchers at the University of Missouri-St. Louis have developed the Q3D...

of Missouri is a high-throughput, inexpensive workflow for quantifying prominent plant seed proteins. This was done by developing a mass spectrometry-based workflow beginning with intact, whole plant seed. The method does not require gel electrophoresis...

This invention teaches a method of creating a novel photodiode that will enable a significant improvement in data storage capacity over the Blu-Ray technology. More than 4x the amount of data could be held on a VUV storage disc as compared to a Blu...

disease (50%), nerve disease (60%) and heart attack and stroke (57%). Current monitoring technology (glucometers) require drawing blood for each glucose level measurement, which is painful, expensive (up to $800/year for supplies to complete recommended 4...

cell lines allow visualization of collagen fibril assembly in living cells over time, which is not possible with existing technologies. The only other approaches that have been used for monitoring collagen assembly in living cells include using...

, this would resolve above problem and add more than hundred millions/year. Our research and scale up were done. We filed patent applications after demonstrating the feasibility of the technologies. Then commercialization was done with related manufacturer...

combustion characteristics are found to correlate very well with the physical and chemical characteristics of metal oxide nanostructures. The developed technology in our lab demonstrates the potential to tune and tailor the combustion characteristics...

sphere volumes by sensors which did not generate an electromagnetic field; no references were found in the STN abstracts of 10,000 journals covering Chemistry, Engineering, Physics and US and foreign Patents. This search was repeated several times using...
