Also provided are methods of identifying a subject at risk of experiencing a complication of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and methods of evaluating the efficacy of a cardiovascular therapeutic agent in a subject with cardiovascular disease using levels of choline-related trimethylamine-containing compounds. | 11-11-2010 |
20120157397 | TRIMETHYLAMINE-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PREDICTION OF DISEASE - The present invention provides markers and methods for determining whether a subject, particularly a human subject, has or is at risk of developing, a disease such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, NAFLD (Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) or NASH (Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis) (e.g., within the ensuing year, two years, and/or three years). The present application also relates to the use of such markers and methods for monitoring the status of such diseases in a subject or the effects of therapeutic agents on subjects with such diseases. | 06-21-2012 |
20120207822 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE - Provided herein are compositions for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and methods of application and use thereof. In particular, the present invention provides treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular disease with 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol (DMB) and related compounds, and pharmaceutical formulations thereof. In other embodiments, the present invention provides methods of administering a gut flora targeting antibiotic to a subject prior to a procedure that is associated with a risk of causing thrombosis, heart-attack, and/or platelet hyper-responsiveness. | 08-16-2012 |
20130345171 | TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND THROMBOSIS - Provided herein are compositions for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and methods of application and use thereof. In particular, the present invention provides treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular disease with compounds that inhibit the production of TMA in the gut, such as 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol (DMB) or other compounds represented by Formula I or as shown in FIGS. | 12-26-2013 |

20100093078 | SEPARATING DEVICE, AN ALGAE CULTURE PHOTOBIOREACTOR, AND METHODS OF USING THEM - The invention provides a device for separating a first entity and a second entity by flowing them downwardly in an inclined settling chamber. Each entity has its own outlet located at approximately the lowest end of the inclined settling chamber. The device may be used in industrial fields such as pharmaceutics, biologics, and biofuels, for the purposes of large-scale growth and separation of algae biomass, bacteria and yeast cultures; algae metabolite production; and cell separation, among others. The invention exhibits technical merits such as effective particle separation or concentration capacity, robust structure, easy operation, cost-effective manufacturability, disposability, and high productivity in e.g. perfusion photobioreactor systems. | 04-15-2010 |
20110262990 | ACOUSTIC DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF FOR SEPARATION AND CONCENTRATION - The invention provides a settling device comprising an acoustic wave generator and an inclined settling chamber. The angle θ between the acoustic wave direction and the inclined settling chamber is greater than 0 and less than 90°. The invention also provides a concentration method and a separation method using the device. The invention can be used to concentrate or separate particles such as inorganic particles, organic particles, and biological particles, for example, mammalian cells, bacteria, yeast, algae, and plant cells. The invention exhibits technical merits such as higher efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and large-scale production. | 10-27-2011 |
