| 20080306462 | DISPOSABLE MULTILAYERED LOW FRICTION DOUBLE LUBRICATED BED PAD - A disposable multilayered double lubricated bed pad is disclosed. Specifically, a lubricated pad for preventing and treating bedsores on a person's body and for managing discharged body fluids is disclosed. Among other things, the disclosed pad has absorbing layers and means for managing discharged body fluids away from a person's body to the absorbing layers. The disclosed pad also has a lubricating layer and is constructed to minimize friction between a person's body and a supporting surface. The disclosed pad is also treated with a lubricating, skin protecting, and moisturizing emollient for the treatment and prevention of pressure sores The emollient can be microencapsulated in the lubricating layer. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080306464 | DISPOSABLE MULTILAYERED LOW FRICTION DOUBLE LUBRICATED ADULT BRIEF - A disposable multilayered adult brief is disclosed. Specifically, a lubricated adult brief pad for preventing and treating bedsores on a person's body and for managing discharged body fluids is disclosed. Among other things, the disclosed adult brief has a contoured lubricated pad panel and a perimeter panel. The contoured lubricated pad panel has absorbing layers and means for managing discharged body fluids away from a person's body to the absorbing layers. The adult brief also has a lubricating layer and is constructed to minimize friction between a person's body and a supporting surface. The adult brief is also treated with a lubricating, skin protecting, and moisturizing emollient for the treatment and prevention of pressure sores. The emollient can be microencapsulated in the lubricating layer. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090044815 | FOOT AND HEEL SKIN SHIELD SYSTEM - A foot and heel skin shield system for preventing and treating pressure sores on a person's foot and calf and for managing discharged body fluids from the person's foot and calf is disclosed. The system has two main components, a heel lift and a lubricated disposable calf liner pad. An optional foot stabilizer pad may also be used as part of the system. The system may also include a heel bootie. The lubricated disposable calf liner pad, foot stabilizer pad, and heel boot can have a first lubricant having silicone and a second lubricant having a lubricating, skin protecting, and moisturizing emollient applied to the first lubricant. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20090263901 | STABLE NEURAL STEM CELL LINES - A systematic and efficient method for establishing stable neural stem cell lines and neuronal progenitor lines is described. The resulting cell lines provide robust, simple, and reproducible cultures of human and other mammalian neurons in commercially useful mass quantities while maintaining normal karyotypes and normal neuronal phenotypes. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090297486 | Survival, Differentiation and Structural Integration Of Human Neural Stem Cells Grafted Into the Adult Rat Spinal Cord - The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating spinal cord diseases and injuries. The methods involve transplanting neural stem cells which have been previously expanded in vitro into a patient such that the cells can ameliorate the disease or injury. The stem cells to be transplanted are derived from spinal cord tissue. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100034784 | USE OF FUSED NICOTINAMIDES TO PROMOTE NEUROGENESIS - The present invention provides a group of compounds found to increase the number of neurons derived from stem cells for use as a therapeutic agent in neurological conditions or diseases. In one embodiment of the present invention, the compounds are used to detect the mechanism by which the number of neurons is increased. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100055075 | METHODS OF TREATING ISCHEMIC SPASTITICY - The invention relates generally to methods of treating spasticity, rigidity, or muscular hyperactivity conditions by introducing a portion of an expanded population of neural stem cells into an area of a recipient spinal cord. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100239541 | TRANSPLANTATION OF HUMAN NEURAL CELLS FOR TREATMENT OF NEURODEGENERATIVE CONDITIONS - A method of treating neurodegenerative conditions is provided. Neural stem cells may be implanted at and/or remote from a region of neuron degeneration. The methods can include isolating neural stem cells from regions where specific types of neurons corresponding to the neurons to be replaced are generated. The methods can include isolating neural stem cells secreting growth factors affecting the growth and/or regeneration of specific types of neuron. In this invention, we disclose a method of treating such disorders, including several neurodegenerative disorders arising from the lack of cells that produce particular neurotransmitters in neural circuitry by transplanting exogenously cultured and expanded neural progenitors which, upon transplantation into a neural tissue, differentiate into neurons capable of integrating and producing neurotransmitters in sufficient quantities and in a sufficient manner to overcome the symptoms associated with the neurodegeneration. | 09-23-2010 |
