| 20120040342 | Genetic Indicators Of Weight Loss - Methods for determining resistance to weight loss and susceptibility to binge eating episodes are described. The methods include determination of the presence of a obesity related alleles for a patient at single nucleotide polymorphism sites associated with the genes INSIG2, FTO, MC4R, and PCSK1. The total number of obesity alleles for the patient is indicative of the patient's resistance to weight loss and susceptibility to weight gain following bariatric surgery. The methods also include determining if a patient is homozygous for an obesity related allele at one or more single nucleotide polymorphism sites of the four genes. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20110046602 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR FLUID ADMINISTRATION - Improved fluid delivery devices and systems are disclosed, including drug delivery devices and systems, and methods that permit, inter alia, the rapid sequential delivery of two or more fluids to a single external fluid flow or intravenous line. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20100212063 | MEDICAL MODESTY GARMENT - A medical modesty garment is disclosed which allows easy access to and removal from a patient's body while providing improved patient modesty and privacy. The medical modesty garment may comprise a lower garment shaped like shorts, and/or an upper garment shaped like a tee shirt. The medical modesty garment of the invention may comprise perforations that may be torn to provide selective access to a patient's body or that may be torn to easily remove the garment from the patient. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20090304704 | METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING AND PREDICTING NON-ALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS (NASH) - The invention provides a panel of genes useful for diagnosing non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The invention also provides a method of diagnosing NASH in non-invasive assays based on the expression of particular genes in a panel of NASH-related genes. Methods of treatment for NASH and compositions for treating NASH are also provided. | 12-10-2009 |
