Abrégé
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for predicting the robustness of an antibody response of a subject to the SARS-COV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain based on measurement of physiological metrics following vaccination. In particular, one or more physiological metrics of the subject selected from dermal temperature deviation, heart rate, respiratory rate, heart rate variability, and deep sleep duration are measured with a wearable device before and after vaccinating the subject, wherein increases in dermal temperature deviation, heart rate, and respiratory rate, and decreases in heart rate variability on the first night after administration of the vaccine to the subject are correlated with greater antibody responses to the SARS-COV-2 spike protein.

Abrégé
Differentiating benign cutaneous lesions from melanoma is an imprecise and subjective endeavor. The use of micro-RNAs has been investigated, but results have not been consistent across studies and clinical applications are lacking. The invention provides new micro-RNA signatures for differentiating benign lesions from melanoma. The micro-RNA signatures are robust, being stable across detection platforms, diverse sample types, and patient populations. The diagnostic methods based on these signatures control for variations in lesion composition and sample diversity, and permit cross-platform comparisons. The micro-RNA signatures and methods are amenable to the use of samples from convenient non-invasive tape strip biopsy.

Methods and apparatuses for sensory electrical stimulation of the peripheral nervous system to improve human motor function and performance are described. Methods and devices may be used to enhance physical performance of athletes, professionals, and gamers or improve motor function (hand, finger and limb movement) in patients rehabilitating from neurological deficits and impairments caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury and other neurologic or non-neurologic conditions. These apparatuses and methods may be used for physical training and mental training (to improve memory and functional performance including motor coordination, limb-eye coordination, occupational and recreational skills) through periodic or sustained sensory electrical stimulation. Treatment plans may be based on biomarkers and may be used alone or in combination with other apparatuses. Learning and feedback techniques individualize treatment parameters depending on the subject's neurologic and motor function in diseased patients and healthy users.

Abrégé
A medical device for retrieval of kidney stone fragments from a urinary tract is provided. The medical device has a plurality of magnets arranged within a flexible sheath forming a flexible wire. The magnets are magnetically attached end-to-end and arranged with their magnetic polarities alternating in direction. The magnetization direction of each of the magnets is orthogonal to the length axis of the flexible wire. A removable inner stylet is situated within the flexible sheath allowing for modifiable flexibility of the wire. The medical device is dimensioned to be introduced into the urinary tract and standard endoscopic devices. The medical device is further dimensioned to allow for the wire with magnetically attached stone fragments to be retrieved from the urinary tract. The magnetic field along the length axis is sufficient to attract to the surface of the flexible wire superparamagnetic nanoparticles which have bound themselves to kidney stone fragments.

Methods and apparatuses for treating a patient having a brain lesion (e.g., a stroke patient) by applying a charge-balanced, low-frequency alternating current stimulation (ACS) to a region of the patient's brain immediately before and/or during a directed movement. The charge-balanced, low-frequency ACS may have a depolarizing phase that is slower than the hyperpolarizing phase (e.g., the depolarizing phase may have a frequency of 15 Hz or less and the hyperpolarizing phase with a frequency greater than 15 Hz). The ACS stimulation field may be greater than 1.5 V/m. The ACS may be applied during a preferred excitation phase.

Over 2 million cystoscopies are performed annually in the United States and Europe for detection and surveillance of bladder cancer. Adequate identification of suspicious lesions is critical to minimizing recurrence and progression rates, however standard cystoscopy misses up to 20% of bladder cancer. Access to adjunct imaging technology may be limited by cost and availability of experienced personnel. Machine learning holds the potential to enhance medical decision-making in cancer detection and imaging. Various embodiments described herein are directed to methods for identifying cancers, tumors, and/or other abnormalities present in a person's bladder. Additional embodiments are directed to machine learning systems to identify cancers, tumors, and/or other abnormalities present in a person's bladder, while additional embodiments will also identify benign or native structures or features in a person's bladder. Further embodiments incorporate such systems into cystoscopy equipment to allow for real time and/or immediate detection of cancers, tumors, and/or other abnormalities present in a person's bladder during a cystoscopy procedure.

The present invention is directed to a multi-angulated catheter and methods of using the multi-angulated catheter. The multi-angulated catheter is so dimensioned as to facilitate accessing the left ventricle from an arm of a patient. The multi-angulated catheter generally includes in order: (a) a coiled end; (b) a first straight portion having a first straight portion length; (c) a first shaft including a distal end connected to the first straight portion and a proximal end opposite the distal end, the first shaft and the first straight portion defining a first obtuse angle, the first shaft having a first shaft length; and (d) a second shaft connected to the first shaft on said proximal end.

Abrégé
Methods and apparatuses for sensory electrical stimulation of the peripheral nervous system to improve human motor function and performance are described. Methods and devices may be used to enhance physical performance of athletes, professionals, and gamers or improve motor function (hand, finger and limb movement) in patients rehabilitating from neurological deficits and impairments caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury and other neurologic or non-neurologic conditions. These apparatuses and methods may be used for physical training and mental training (to improve memory and functional performance including motor coordination, limb-eye coordination, occupational and recreational skills) through periodic or sustained sensory electrical stimulation. Treatment plans may be based on biomarkers and may be used alone or in combination with other apparatuses. Learning and feedback techniques individualize treatment parameters depending on the subject's neurologic and motor function in diseased patients and healthy users.
