20080255433 | OPTOACOUSTIC MONITORING OF MULTIPLE PARAMETERS - An optoacoustic technique for absolute, accurate, continuous, and real-time measurement of a variety of important diagnostic variables is disclosed, where the variables include: (1) noninvasive measurements of circulating blood volume (BV) and cardiac output (CO); (2) calculation from the measured variables of cardiac index (CI) and systemic oxygen delivery (DO | 10-16-2008 |
20080281173 | Noninvasive blood analysis by optical probing of the veins under the tongue - A method for analysis of blood components or parameters is disclosed where a probe having an excitation outlet and a response inlet is placed in proximity to or in contact with a tissue of an underside of a patient's tongue over a big vein in the tongue so that an excitation signal exits the outlet, produces a response which enters the inlet for detection and analysis. | 11-13-2008 |
20090221475 | Treatment of lung disorders - The invention features methods of treating a subject having a lung disorder such as lung inflammation and injury, by administering antithrombin III by inhalation. | 09-03-2009 |
20120172686 | NONINVASIVE GLUCOSE SENSING METHODS AND SYSTEMS - New methods and systems for noninvasive glucose monitoring and sensing with electromagnetic waves or ultrasound are disclosed. The methods are based on absolute or relative measurement of tissue dimensions (or changes in the dimensions) including, but not limited to: thickness, length, width, diameter, curvature, roughness as well as time of flight of ultrasound and optical pulses and optical thickness, which change with changing blood glucose concentrations. By measuring noninvasively absolute or relative changes in at least one dimension of at least one tissue or tissue layer or absolute or relative changes in time of flight of ultrasound or optical pulses, one can monitor blood glucose concentration noninvasively. | 07-05-2012 |
20120203101 | METHODS FOR OPTOACOUSTIC GUIDANCE AND CONFIRMATION OF PLACEMENT OF NOVEL INDWELLING MEDICAL APPARATUS - Indwelling medical apparatus including one optoacoustic discernible member or a plurality of optoacoustic discernible members and methods for optoacoustic guidance and confirmation of placement of optoacoustically discernible indwelling medical apparatus. | 08-09-2012 |
20120289796 | Noninvasive, Accurate Glucose Monitoring with OCT By Using Tissue Warming and Temperature Control - A new OCT system and method are disclosed, where the system includes a probe equipped with a heating element and a high heat conductive member to warm a tissue site to be scanned to an elevated and/or to maintain the elevated tissue temperature with a temperature variation of less than or equal to 1° C. to improve an accuracy and reliability of an OCT glucose concentration value other long measurement durations. The new OCT system and method can also be equipped with pressure components to reduce a pressure exerted on the tissue site to a minimal constant pressure. | 11-15-2012 |
20140058253 | Methods and Apparatus for Optoacoustic Guidance and Confirmation of Placement of Indwelling Medical Apparatus - Medical apparatus are disclosed for optoacoustic monitoring of an indwelling unit of the apparatus, where the indwelling unit includes one or more optical components capable of directing pulsed light into an overlying tissue. The apparatus also include one or more acoustic components in contact with an exterior surface of the tissue to detect induced pressure waves producing an acoustic output analyzed with an optoacoustic unit to monitor and confirm proper placement of the indwelling unit. Methods for using the apparatus are also disclosed. | 02-27-2014 |
