20140072654 | CANCER WITH METABOLIC THERAPY AND HYPERBARIC OXYGEN - The present invention demonstrates the therapeutic use of ketone esters for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease malignant brain cancer, and other cancers, which are associated with metabolic dysregulation. The administration of a ketogenic diet, such as ketone esters, while concurrently subjecting the patient to a hyperbaric, oxygen-enriched environment resulted in therapeutic ketosis. Optionally, the hyperbaric, oxygen-enriched environment is 100% oxygen at 2.5 ATA absolute. The ketone esters may be derived from acetoacetate and can include R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate monoester, R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate diester, or a combination of the two. The treatment may further include administering at least 10% ketone supplementation, such as acetoacetate, adenosine monophosphate kinase, 1,3-butanediol, or ketone ester, to the patient. | 03-13-2014 |
20140073693 | USE OF KETONE ESTERS FOR PREVENTION OF CNS OXYGEN TOXICITY - The present invention demonstrates the therapeutic use of ketone esters for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain cancer, which are associated with metabolic dysregulation. The administration of ketone esters resulted therapeutic ketosis and neuroprotection against seizures resulting from CNS oxygen toxicity. Supplemental ketones were also found to reduce superoxide production in cultured cortex neurons exposed to hyperbaric oxygen and Aβ-42, and to decrease proliferation and viability in U87 glioma cells. These observations support the therapeutic effect of ketones for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain cancer. The ketone esters may be derived from acetoacetate and can include R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate monoester, R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate diester, or a combination of the two. | 03-13-2014 |
20140350105 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING ELEVATED AND SUSTAINED KETOSIS - Beta-hydroxybutyrate mineral salts in combination with medium chain fatty acids or an ester thereof such as medium chain triglycerides were used to induce ketosis, achieving blood ketone levels of (2-7 mmol/L), with or without dietary restriction. The combination results in substantial improvements in metabolic biomarkers related to insulin resistance, diabetes, weight loss, and physical performance in a short period of time. Further, use of these supplements to achieve ketosis yields a significant elevation of blood ketones and reduction of blood glucose levels. Use of these substances does not adversely affect lipid profiles. By initiating rapid ketosis and accelerating the rate of ketoadaptation, this invention is useful for the avoidance of glucose withdrawal symptoms commonly experienced by individuals initiating a ketogenic diet, and minimizes the loss of lean body mass during dietary restriction. | 11-27-2014 |
20150231172 | TARGETING CANCER WITH METABOLIC THERAPY AND HYPERBARIC OXYGEN - A method of treating cancer using ketogenic diet, while concurrently subjecting the patient to a hyperbaric, oxygen-enriched environment.

20090169952 | Direct organic fuel cell proton exchange membrane and method of manufacturing the same - A proton exchange membrane well-suited for use in a direct methanol fuel cell. According to one embodiment, the proton exchange membrane is prepared by a process comprising the steps of (a) providing a perfluorocarbon membrane, the perfluorocarbon membrane being non-permeable to water; (b) imbibing the perfluorocarbon membrane with a solution containing a styrene monomer, a divinyl benzene cross-linker, and a benzoyl peroxide activator; (c) heating the imbibed membrane to yield a cross-linked polymer within the membrane; (d) repeating the combination of steps (b) and (c) at least once; and (e) then, sulfonating the cross-linked polymer. According to another embodiment, the membrane is irradiated prior to the imbibing step, thereby rendering the membrane receptive to imbibing, polymerization, crosslinking, and grafting and obviating the need for more than one cycle of steps (b) and (c), as well as permitting step (c) to be performed at a lower temperature. | 07-02-2009 |
