20140358090 | MEDICAL TUBE HARNESS - A medical tube harness that a subject wears to organize, orient and support medical tubes and reduce the potential for unintentional tugging, kinking, and/or dislodging of the tubes as they extend from a subject's internal cavities, organs, orifices and/or anchor sites on the subject. The harness can improve patient comfort and safety, and can provide multiple locations for strategic tube placement. | 12-04-2014 |
20110253139 | INHALER MODULE AND RELATED SYSTEM - Apparatuses and methods for mounting an inhaler module to an inhaler, indicating compliance with a treatment regiment, shaking an inhaler and indicating mixing status, and reminding a user to prime the inhaler. The mounting element can have an elastic body adapted to interchangeably join both an inhaler and an inhaler module. Compliance can be indicated at a glance for a caregiver by providing an indication of the level of asthma medication treatment compliance. An accelerometer can be used to track mixing status of the medication canister and timestamped accelerometer data can be used to provide appropriate reminders to prime the inhaler. | 10-20-2011 |
20110225661 | METHOD FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING RADIATION DAMAGE USING GENETICALLY MODIFIED MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS - A method of treating or preventing radiation damage by administering to a patient in need of treatment at least one therapeutically effective amount of a mesenchymal stem cell genetically altered to secrete extracellular superoxide dismutase is provided. Also provided is a therapeutic for treating and/or preventing radiation related or damage by similar agents, the therapeutic contains genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells capable of secreting extracellular superoxide dismutase. | 09-15-2011 |
20110201890 | LARYNGOSCOPE GUIDE AND RELATED METHOD OF USE - A method of using a laryngoscope guide including a guiding conduit for advancing an introducer. The method can be used to intubate a subject by positioning the laryngoscope guide in an airway; advancing the introducer in the conduit until an end of the introducer enters the glottis, while viewing images of the introducer end; removing the laryngoscope guide with the guide conduit from the introducer and from the airway; guiding a tube with the introducer until an end of the tube enters the glottis; and removing the introducer from the tube with the end of the tube remaining in the glottis, and in particular, in the trachea, to establish an airway. The guide and method can enable a healthcare professional to intubate a subject where neck mobility is an issue, where an airway is difficult, and/or where a subject is obese. | 08-18-2011 |
20110082191 | METHOD FOR TREATING OR PREVENTING RADIATION DAMAGE BY IN VIVO GENE THERAPY - The current embodiment provides a method and gene therapy for treating or preventing radiation damage using a vector carrying a gene for extracellular superoxide dismutase (ECSOD). The gene therapy can be used to treat a patient with an effective amount of the therapy to limit damage resulting from exposure to radiation and radiation-like damage. | 04-07-2011 |
20110077466 | LARYNGOSCOPE GUIDE AND RELATED METHOD OF USE - A laryngoscope guide including a guide conduit for advancing an introducer. The guide can house an imaging system having a field of view and an optical axis. The guide can include a distal tip and a first blade plane that bisects the distal tip and/or the blade. The guide conduit can define an advancement axis projecting into the field of view, the advancement axis aligned to traverse and/or intersect at least one of the first blade plane and the optical axis. The orientation of the advancement axis relative to the first blade plane and/or optical axis can assist in viewing, aligning and optionally steering the introducer with the guide into a preselected location in a subject, such as a glottis or a trachea, to optionally establish an airway. The guide is suitable for use where neck mobility is an issue, an airway is difficult, or a subject is obese. | 03-31-2011 |
