System and method for enforcing data integrity and loan approval automation by means of data aggregation and analysis
Systems and methods permit the efficient and accurate aggregation and analysis of loan application data as well as the convenient display of the loan application data to a financial service provider. In one embodiment, a computing device associated with a financial service provider receives a loan application containing loan application data. The computing device performs a compliance and underwriting analysis and a verification analysis to validate inputs, authenticate customer identity, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and evaluate the risk posed by a loan application, among other features. If the verification analysis indicates that supplemental loan application data is required, the provider computing device generates an application status message identifying the required supplemental data. Following the compliance and underwriting analysis and the verification analysis, the provider computing device creates an electronic credit authorization document and generates an application decision message indicating approval or disapproval of the loan application.

Insertion of medical devices through non-orthogonal and orthogonal trajectories within the cranium and methods of using
ActiveUS20120046531A1Increase riskLow impedanceUltrasonic/sonic/infrasonic diagnosticsSurgeryBiomedical engineeringNon orthogonal
The invention comprises an elongated device adapted for insertion, including self-insertion, through the body, especially the skull. The device has at least one effector or sensor and is configured to permit implantation of multiple functional components through a single entry site into the skull by directing the components at different angles. The device may be used to provide electrical, magnetic, and other stimulation therapy to a patient's brain. The lengths of the effectors, sensors, and other components may completely traverse skull thickness (at a diagonal angle) to barely protrude through to the brain's cortex. The components may directly contact the brain's cortex, but from there their signals can be directed to targets deeper within the brain. Effector lengths are directly proportional to their battery size and ability to store charge. Therefore, longer angled electrode effectors not limited by skull thickness permit longer-lasting batteries which expand treatment options.

Using the methods of the present invention, intermediate (int) levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity reliably distinguished leukemic CD34+CD38− cells capable of engrafting immunodeficient mice, from residual normal hematopoietic stem cells that exhibited relatively higher ALDH activity. Minimal residual disease (MRD) detected during complete remission was enriched for the CD34+CD38−ALDHint leukemic cells, and the presence of these cells after therapy highly correlated with subsequent clinical relapse. The methods of the present invention can distinguish normal from leukemic CD34+CD38− cells, and identifies those AML cells associated with relapse.

Method for prediction of bone fractures by osteocalcin measurements
This invention concerns a method for the assessment of bone fragility and fracture risk, or osteoporosis, in a person. In said method, the concentration of gamma-carboxylated osteocalcin (COC) and optionally also the concentration of intact or total osteocalcin (IOC or TOC, respectively) in a body fluid sample of said person is measured. The concentration of gamma-carboxylated osteocalcin (COC) so obtained is compared to the mean concentration of gamma-carboxylated osteocalcin (mean COC) in similar body fluid samples of the population of the same age and sex. Alternatively, the determined ratio COC / IOC or COC / TOC for said person, is compared to the mean ratio COC / IOC or COC / TOC, (mean ratio COC / IOC or mean ratio COC / TOC) determined from measurements in similar body fluid samples of the population of the same age and sex. A measured COC that is lower than the mean COC is used as indication of osteoporosis, bone fragility or increased risk of bone fracture in said person. Preferably, a determined ratio COC / TOC that is lower than the mean ratio COC / TOC is used as indication of osteoporosis, bone fragility or increased risk of bone fracture in said person. The invention concerns further kits for use in the assessment according to this invention.
