Apparatus and method for chronically monitoring heart sounds for deriving estimated blood pressure

ActiveUS6869404B2Simplified and minimized in sizeElectrocardiographyAuscultation instrumentsRegression analysisT wave
A minimally invasive, implantable heart sound and ECG monitor and associated method for deriving blood pressure from heart sound data. The device is equipped with an acoustical sensor for detecting first and second heart sounds which are sampled and stored during sensing windows following R-wave and T-wave detections, respectively. ECG and heart sound data are stored in a continuous, looping memory, and segments of data are stored in long-term memory upon an automatic or manual data storage triggering event. Estimated blood pressure is calculated based on custom spectral analysis and processing of the first and second heart sounds. A calibration method includes measuring a patient's blood pressure using a standard clinical method and performing regression analysis on multiple spectral variables to identify a set of best fit weighted equations for predicting blood pressure. Concurrent ECG and estimated blood pressure may be displayed for review by a physician.

Medical Device, Method And System For Temporary Occlusion Of An Opening In A Lumen Of A Body

InactiveUS20110172697A1Avoid communicationAvoid flowStentsBalloon catheterTemporary occlusionVideo fluoroscopy
A medical system is disclosed that has three basic components; a retractable sheet, a first balloon that has a centrally arranged hollow, and a collapsible / expandable support structure at the hollow. The first balloon is for instance mounted / molded onto the exterior surface of the support structure. The aggregate of support structure and the first balloon is positioned, and once the sheet has been retracted from the first balloon, the first balloon is inflated. The support structure may be self-expandable or expandable by an expansion unit, such as a further balloon arranged at its inside. The lumen of the support structure is chosen to be smaller than that of a main lumen. The outside diameter of the inflated first balloon is chosen to be larger than the interior diameter of the main lumen. This procedure may be done using standard Seldinger technique and fluoroscopy. This makes the system user friendly and increases patient safety, as a well established clinical method may be used with some modifications according to the invention.

Clinical method for the genetic screening of newborns using tandem mass spectrometry and internal standards therefor

A method for screening newborns using electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. The method improves the current protocols that use tandem mass spectrometry by assuring accurate and consistent results at the clinical level through enhanced quality controls and quality assurance protocols as applied to the scan profiling and sample preparation of blood spots from newborns. Specific additives are used in precise concentrations of internal standards, employing detailed controls adapted to distinguish twenty metabolites, which are scanned and vigorously compared to known spectra results. Revealing peaks, metabolite concentration, and scan intensities in the quality assurance steps are then compared to a range of thresholds to determine whether or not the sample is contaminated, drug-ridden, diagnosable, or unacceptable. All spectra results and quality assurance flags are organized in spreadsheet form and exported to a database where values are compiled and stored for daily output results and trend analysis. The method provides for high-throughput and quality results, having a consistent predictability for genetically testing newborns efficiently and accurately.

Pre-clinical method for monitoring serial changes in circulating breast cancer cells in mice

The CellTracks® System provides a system to enumerate CTC's in blood. The system immunomagnetically concentrates epithelial cells, fluorescently labels the cells and identifies and quantifies CTC's. The absolute number of CTC's detected in the peripheral blood tumor load is, in part, a factor in prediction of survival, time to progression, and response to therapy. Pre-clinical studies of circulating tumor cells (CTC's) have been limited by the inability to repetitively monitor CTC's in animal models. The present invention provides a method to enumerate CTC's in blood samples obtained from living mice, using a protocol similar to an in vitro diagnostic system for quantifying CTC's in patients. Accordingly, this technology can be adapted for serial monitoring of CTC's in mouse xenograft tumor models of human breast cancer.

Methods For The Selective Treatment Of Tumors By Calcium-Mediated Induction Of Apoptosis

Available evidence indicates that tumor cells exhibit consistent abnormalities in Calcium influx and intracellular storage of sequestered Calcium when compared to normal cells. The present invention provides clinical methods by which such differences are exploited to induce Apoptosis selectively in tumor cells while sparing normal cells. These methods are based upon employing drugs that, acting alone or in synergistic combinations, produce an increase in intracellular Calcium loading such that either or both of two major Apoptotic pathways are triggered to produce selective killing of malignant cells. Since the invention is based upon fundamental cell cycle requirements, to the extent that Calcium handling abnormalities are a general characteristic of the malignant state, the methods presented here are widely applicable regardless of tissue of origin and degree of cellular de-differentiation.
