Digital data records are stored on a direct access storage device (DASD) in emulation of sequential-access media, the efficiency of storage and access of the data being improved by using a volume trailer containing various statistics about the records. Data is preferably stored in records, logically assembled into record groups. Interspersed with the records, there may be one or more marker codes, which function like tape marks among the various data records. The volume trailer contains pointers to each record group, record counts for each group, marker code counts for each group, and may also include fields showing whether records in a given record group are of equal length. The volume trailer may also include a volume trailer "tail", including a byte count for the entire volume trailer, and a unique sequence identifying the volume trailer. Statistics contained in the volume trailer enable substantially more efficient access of the data by a DASD. For example, record groupings, group counts, and/or marker code counts may be employed to perform operations such as locate, forward space file, and backward space file.

The customized code is finalized by removing the remaining tokens and the finalized code transmitted to the user for incorporation into their web pages.

An orientation marker for a digital radiogram formed by a plurality of pixels arrayed along a plurality of rows and columns. The pixels have densities which represent the radiogram optical density at each pixel point, and the densities are represented by digital values. The marker is made by a number of marker pixels arrayed along at least one row and one column of the radiogram. Each of the pixels forming the marker, have a marker pixel digital value which has been selected to form an asymmetrical marker pixel pattern on the radiogram, replacing the original radiogram pixel values.

A marking device for defining the margins and orientation of radiography specimens includes a plurality of visually distinctive markers joined by a base that holds the markers until the markers are secured to a specimen. The base serves as a holder for the individual markers as the markers are secured to a specimen with sutures or staples, at which time the markers are disconnected from the base. One or more markers may be secured to a specimen as needed to define the orientation of the specimen. By securing markers to specific locations on a specimen, a surgeon can indicate to radiologists and pathologists the specimen's orientation in the body before removal, thus aiding in future study of the specimen. Since the markers are made either wholly or partially from radiopaque material, the markers are visible when radiographed.

The present invention provides novel methods and kits for diagnosing the presence of cancer within a patient, and for determining whether a subject who has cancer is susceptible to different types of treatment regimens. The cancers to be tested include, but are not limited to, prostate, breast, lung, gastric, ovarian, bladder, lymphoma, mesothelioma, medulloblastoma, glioma, and AML. Identification of therapy-resistant patients early in their treatment regimen can lead to a change in therapy in order to achieve a more successful outcome. One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method for diagnosing cancer or predicting cancer-therapy outcome by detecting the expression levels of multiple markers in the same cell at the same time, and scoring their expression as being above a certain threshold, wherein the markers are from a particular pathway related to cancer, with the score being indicative or a cancer diagnosis or a prognosis for cancer-therapy failure. This method can be used to diagnose cancer or predict cancer-therapy outcomes for a variety of cancers. The markers can come from any pathway involved in the regulation of cancer, including specifically the PcG pathway and the “stemness” pathway. The markers can be mRNA, microRNA, DNA, or protein.
