Method and system for early detection of precancerous and other abnormal changes in tissue of various organs. The system comprises a combination of endoscopic scanning with light scattering spectroscopy and improves detection of abnormalities that may otherwise remain undetected. The system may include a probe that collects data of quality that is independent of a distance of the probe from the scanned tissue. During endoscopy, tissue of an organ is imaged using polarized multispectral light scattering scanning and results are presented to a user in a manner that allows detecting abnormal morphological and biochemical changes in the tissue. A determination of whether to perform biopsy may be performed while the endoscopy is being performed, which thus provides guided biopsy. An entire surface of the organ may be rapidly scanned and results of the scanning are analyzed with a reduced time delay.

The invention provides an extension cable system for connecting electrodes to a medical device such as an External Pacing Generator. The system further provides a connector separator for maintaining electrode receiving connectors in a fixed relationship relative to each other to avoid contact between electrically exposed regions of the electrodes. The extension cable system comprises electrically conductive leads electrically connected to a plug adapted to an electrical socket of a medical device, dielectrically shrouded electrode receiving connector(s) that form an electrical connection with a filamentous electrode or electrically conductive wire, and a connector separator for gripping and maintaining the electrode receiving connectors in a predetermined and rigid relationship relative to each other. The electrode receiving connectors comprise outer shrouds that can be threadably rotated to operate wire receiving chucks to receive electrode wires. The connector separator comprises a bridge having opposing ends adapted as bifurcated grips for gripping an electrode receiving connector.

Cylinder head gasket is provided having a single-layered or multilayered metallic gasket plate with sealing beads in at least one metal layer, which are elastically deformable in height and surround the combustion chamber through-openings, and deformation delimiting devices which delimit the flattening of the sealing beads. In order to achieve as good a sealing function as possible in the long term and as good a protection as possible of the sealing beads against inadmissibly high deformations during operation of the engine, the deformation delimiting devices, one of which is formed by a meandering bead stamped into a metal layer, and the other by a plurality of elevations stamped out of a metal layer, are provided radially inside and radially outside of the sealing beads.
