The present invention relates to the field of medical therapy of lesions detrimental to a body. The system is capable of treatment with a non-invasive, ionizing kV energy radiation source. Locally focused energy can be used to definitively treat, or as an adjuvant to enhance immune modulators, to eliminate tumors. Distributed external beam entry points produce a significant advantageous dose profile at depth as intersecting beams accumulate in a narrow focus to treat a selected volume. Targeted disease may have enhanced sensitivity to the radiation by taking up an ionizing-radiation, treatment-localizing agent. This increases the effectiveness of an energy dose in the lesion. The pattern of beam output is effectively directed towards a desired location and kV x-rays traveling towards undesired locations, such as healthy tissue, are quenched. Targeting a lesion within the body with volumetrically discrete energy dose deposition can beneficially impact harmful lesions. Aiming the beam at a pathologic target is done while moving an x-ray source mechanically around a patient to distribute surface dose. The purpose of the focused energy deposition is to destroy and disable pathologic physiology, such as malignant masses. More specifically this invention relates to a system, which optimizes delivery of ionizing kV beams to a lesion alone or one containing treatment-localizing agents in higher concentration than the surrounding normal tissues. Thereby an optimal delivery of ionizing radiation becomes more destructive to a mass of abnormal cells upon interaction with the targeted site.

The accuracy of individual risk signal capturing is improved through dynamic feature selection, real prospective early warning is achieved based on a dynamic threshold value of an individual trajectory, and therefore the accuracy and timeliness of early warning are improved.

TRPV1 is an integral cation channel widely expressed in various tissues and involved in critical biological functions, such as thermosensation. It is polymodally activated by distinct stimuli, including chemical ligands, heat, and protons (pH). However, dozens of clinical trials targeting various types of TRPV1 -mediated pain have generally failed, primarily due to hyperthermia (increased body temperature). Meta-analysis of clinical data suggests that mode-selectivity is essential to realizing the therapeutic potential of TRPV1. TRPV1 is regulated allosterically, with vanilloids and other chemical ligands binding to the voltage-sensing-like domain (VSLD), resulting in the gating of the pore domain. Therefore, compositions and methods for modulating TRPV1 to treat human pathophysiologies, such as pain, are described herein.

This application relates to the field of biomedical signal processing and discloses a method for identifying postoperative intestinal dysfunction based on intestinal stimulation feedback, comprising the following steps: S1. A linear frequency modulated (LFM) scanning signal is emitted to the abdomen of the subject, and the mechanical vibration response signal of the abdominal medium to the LFM scanning signal is acquired. The dominant mechanical response frequency characterizing the abdominal medium in the current state is calculated and determined based on the LFM scanning signal and the mechanical vibration response signal. The dominant mechanical response frequency of the intestinal tissue is locked by baseline scanning, and resonant micro-perturbation is implemented at this frequency. The stress response of the intestine is captured synchronously using a dual-modal sensor of mechanical and electrophysiological sensors. By calculating the two-dimensional feature vector composed of the phase-locked value and the dynamic mechanical input impedance, the system can accurately distinguish between a simple decrease in electrical activity and a high-tension state caused by obstruction, thereby providing clinicians with a deeper pathophysiological diagnostic basis.

OF THE INVENTION SEROLOGICAL MARKER FOR THE LATENT FORM OF TOXOPLASMOSIS In the present invention, inventors screened the bradyzoite proteome for immunogenic protein candidates in an unbiased manner and identified the Bradyzoite Serological Marker (BSM) as a second serological biomarker for Toxoplasma chronicity in mice. BSM serology correctly distinguishes cyst-bearing mice with a sensitivity and specificity of 97.96% (IC95: 89.31 - 99.90) and 100.0% (IC95: 86.20 - 100.0) respectively. In humans, both bradyzoite markers BCLA and BSM are in moderate agreement (kappa=0.308) and BSM serology is unexpectedly positive in 30% of patients with past immunity, raising many questions. Nevertheless, bradyzoite serology could provide new reference standards for studying the pathophysiology of chronic toxoplasmosis in humans, especially cyst carriage, which has been poorly described. Thus the invention relates to a new Toxoplasma gondii protein, hereafter referred as BSM, a new serological marker whose expression is restricted to the latent form of Toxoplasmosis (bradyzoite / cyst).
