DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diagnosis and medical management of HIV-infected individuals is significantly enhanced if one can simultaneously define the subset of the most common co-infections for which patients are at risk. Unfortunately, running such a series of parallel diagnostic tests is cost prohibitive, particularly in low-resource settings. Precision Photonics Corporation proposes ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Development of radiological/nuclear medical countermeasures to treat Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) is a high priority research area for NIAID. Bone marrow is one of the most sensitive tissues to radiation damage and impaired hematopoiesis is one of the first clinical signs of excessive radiation exposure, often resulting i death. Granulocyte colony-stimulating ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The threat of terrorist attacks using biological weapons continues to be a major national security issue. A new congressional report (www.preventwmd.gov, Dec 3, 2008) indicates that a terrorist attack with bioweapons or other weapons of mass destruction might occur before 2013. Plague and smallpox could be devastating bioweapons if intentionally released. A rel ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Guided Therapeutics has developed the LightTouch(R), a non invasive, point of care device that uses a combination of fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy to measure the entire ecto-cervix in an imaging format. Our test is intended for use prior to colposcopy by a trained healthcare professional (e.g., physician, nurse practitioner, physician's assistant) t ...
