CANINE FACTOR VIII

Dr. David Lillicrap of the Department of Pathology at Queen's University has developed a canine factor VIII cDNA and constructed several B domain deleted forms of this sequence. The technology provides isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding canine factor VIII and mutants, fragments and derivatives thereof. The technology also provides ca...

MRI Acoustic Absorber with Tunable Resonance Frequencies

MRI acoustic noise has long been a concern in terms of patient comfort and, on occasion, patient safety. In order to attenuate the acoustic noise in MRI scanners, various measures involving both active and passive control have been investigated. However, these methods are generally not cost effective and typically attenuate the acoustic noise o...

Follicular Lymphoma Predictive Assay

Follicular lymphoma (FL) constitutes 24% to 40% of all lymphoma cases. It is often a slow progressing disease (indolent stage) with prolonged survival and minimal intervention. Some patients will experience conversion to an aggressive phenotype resulting in short survival. The cause for conversion from indolent to aggressive stage is unkno...

Prognostic Tool for Chronic Heart Failure (CHF)

We have developed a novel ECG technology that predicts mortality with great accuracy, within 5 years, in chronic heart failure patients. Currently there are no reliable or accurate tests to predict CHF mortality. In a proof-of-concept study, our technology was successful in predicting, with almost 100% sensitivity and 80% specificity, dea...
