20150269328 | SCHEDULE OPTIMIZATION AND ONLINE BOOKING SYSTEM FOR HEALTHCARE PRACTICES - A system and/or process for scheduling patients in a medical practice may be adapted to achieve a set of predetermined scheduling goals of the practice. Such a system may involve collecting a set of scoring parameters for scoring a patient and assigning a numerical quantity to each scoring parameter according to a set of predetermined scoring rules. A patient score may be calculated as an average of the scoring parameters. A set of patient score ranges may be defined to categorize patients into a set of classes (i.e. patient buckets) based on their score. Time ranges may be defined relative to the present time (i.e. time of scheduling) wherein each range is associated with a set of scheduling rules governing the allowed ratio of patients from each patient bucket. A patient may be assigned to a given appointment time slot provided that no scheduling rules are violated thereby. | 09-24-2015 |

20140357682 | ANDROGEN RECEPTOR LIGANDS - Non ligand binding pocket antagonists for the human androgen receptor. The androgen receptor (AR) is a member of the Nuclear Receptor (NR) family and its role is to modulate the biological effects of the endogenous androgens, testosterone (tes) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Synthetic androgens and anti-androgens have therapeutic value in the treatment of various androgen dependent conditions, from regulation of male fertility to prostate cancer. Current treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) typically involves administration of ‘classical’ antiandrogens, competitive inhibitors of natural AR ligands, DHT and tes, for the ligand binding pocket (LBP) in the C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD) of the AR. However, prolonged LBP-targeting can often lead to androgen resistance and alternative therapies and therapeutic strategies are urgently required. Disclosed herein are a class of non-steroidal, small molecule AR antagonists which inhibit the transcriptional activity of the AR by non LBP-mediated modulation. The novel class reported demonstrates full (‘true’) antagonism in AR with low micromolar potency, high selectivity over both the Estrogen Receptors alpha and beta (ERα and ERβ) and the Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) and only micromolar partial antagonism in the Progesterone Receptor (PR). Data provide compelling evidence for such non-LBP intervention as an alternative approach to classical PCa therapy. (Formula I). | 12-04-2014 |
