Apparatus and method for detecting swallowing activity

An apparatus and method for detecting swallowing activity is provided. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving an electronic signal from an accelerometer that represents swallowing activity, extracting at least two features from the signal, classifying the signal as a type of swallowing activity based on the extracted features, and generating an output of the classification. Exemplary activities include swallows, aspirations, movement and vocal artifacts. By indicating whether an activity is a swallow or an aspiration, the manner in which a patient afflicted with an increased likelihood for aspirations is fed can be adjusted to increase the likelihood of achieving a swallow instead of an aspiration during feeding. In turn this could reduce hospitalizations for aspiration pneumonia in patients with acute or chronic injury.

Protein biomarkers for acute, subacute and chronic traumatic injuries of the central nervous system

ActiveUS20170146555A1Disease diagnosisBiological testingTraumatic spinal cord injuryBrain traumas
Proteins that are differentially expressed or elevated in tissue and biofluids after central nervous system injuries are described. Elevated or reduced levels of the proteins, alone or in various combinations or ratios, can be used to assess severity of central nervous system injury (CNS injury) including traumatic brain injury (TBI), traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Time course measurements post CNS-injury of these proteins can be used to monitor progress or recovery over periods up to several months. Differentiation of acute, subacute and chronic injury can be diagnosed by comparing the protein levels in CNS-injury patients at days 1-3, day 4-10 with levels at day 30-180 in comparison with normal controls.

Belonging to the pharmaceutical field, the invention relates to application of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) in preparation of neuroprotective and rehabilitation drugs. Experiments of the invention show that NAMPT recombinant protein can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to significantly reduce the volume of ischemic brain injury and alleviate white matter injury after ischemic brain injury; the NAMPT recombinant protein can significantly improve long-term behaviors after ischemic brain injury; the NAMPT recombinant protein can raise revascularization related factors to enhance revascularization after brain hypoxia and neuron regeneration after brain hypoxia, and promote post-injury neurologic function reestablishment; and by mediating oligodendrocyte regeneration and alleviating the demyelination effect of local lysolecithin, the NAMPT recombinant protein can promote restoration of white matter after injury and strengthen post-injury neurologic function reestablishment. Results show that the NAMPT recombinant protein plays a long-term neuroprotective role in drugs treating cerebral stroke, traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis, and can be used as a neuroprotective drug to treat acute and chronic injury caused by brain stroke.
