20110190243	DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF BACK PAIN - The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing and/or treating lower back pain (LBP). In one embodiment, the invention relates to a system for diagnosis of a form of lower back pain in an individual, using a means to identify a type and/or a concentration of one or more inflammatory mediators in the epidural space of the individual. In another embodiment, the invention relates to a system for diagnosis of a form of lower back pain in an individual by identifying a type and/or concentration of one or more inflammatory mediators in the epidural space of the individual, and rendering a diagnosis of the form of lower back pain in the individual based on the presence, absence and/or combination of presences and/or absences of one or more inflammatory mediators in the epidural space of the individual	08-04-2011
20110051083	NO-HISTORY METHOD FOR INTRAOCULAR LENS POWER ADJUSTMENT AFTER EXCIMER LASER REFRACTIVE SURGERY - Systems and methods for using a new corneal ratio, referred to as the Geggel ratio, to estimate how much treatment a patient received at an original myopic or mixed astigmatism excimer laser refractive surgery. The Geggel ratio represents the ratio of the measure of a pre-IOL central pachymetry to a measure of a pre-IOL superior pachymetry. The estimated laser ablation depth (ELAD) is used in a derived linear regression equation to determine an IOL power adjustment that is added to the standard SRK/T formula used to determine IOL power.	03-03-2011
