771 results about "Disease progression" patented technology

Disease Progression. The worsening of a disease over time. This concept is most often used for chronic and incurable diseases where the stage of the disease is an important determinant of therapy and prognosis.

Treating Dysfunctional Cardiac Tissue

Medical devices, systems, and methods reduce the distance between two points in tissue, often for treatment of congestive heart failure and often in a minimally invasive manner. An anchor is inserted along an insertion path through a first wall of the heart. An arm of the anchor is deployed and rotationally positioned according to a desired alignment. Application of tension to the anchor may draw the first and second walls of the heart into contact along a desired contour so as to effect a desired change in the geometry of the heart. Additional anchors may be inserted and aligned with the first anchor to close off a portion of a ventricle such that the ventricle is geometrically remodeled and disease progression is reversed, halted, and / or slowed.

Automatic orientation determination for ECG measurements using multiple electrodes

Cardiac monitoring and / or stimulation methods and systems provide monitoring, defibrillation and / or pacing therapies. A signal processor receives a plurality of composite signals associated with a plurality of sources, separates a signal using a source separation algorithm, and identifies a cardiac signal using a selected vector. The signal processor may iteratively separate signals from the plurality of composite signals until the cardiac signal is identified. The selected vector may be updated if desired or necessary. A method of signal separation involves detecting a plurality of composite signals at a plurality of locations, separating a signal using source separation, and selecting a vector that provides a cardiac signal. The separation may include a principal component analysis and / or an independent component analysis. Vectors may be selected and updated based on changes of position and / or orientation of implanted components and changes in patient parameters such as patient condition, cardiac signal-to-noise ratio, and disease progression.

Multi-format, multi-domain and multi-algorithm metalearner system and method for monitoring human health, and deriving health status and trajectory

Real-time and individualized disease monitoring is central to rapidly evolving medical sciences and technologies, but for the vast majority of patients, disease progression and treatment are monitored only in an irregular and discontinuous fashion. Consequently, disease progression and relapse are often allowed to proceed too far before they are detected, compromising the possibility of any effective treatment. For one patient, this can mean becoming refractory to the few early drug treatments that are available; for another, missing early detection may be deadly. This invention provides a method for the detection of early signals of disease and recovery thereof comprising a universal yet personalized health-monitoring solution using cell phones or other wearable smart device data that generate extensive real-time data. The invention further provides a system and method to provide answers to a variety of questions related to the patient health status and health trajectory. Its flexibility and generality is designed for a preferred application to rare disorders and rare questions for which other analytical system are lacking.

Circulating tumor cells (CTC's): early assessment of time to progression, survival and response to therapy in metastatic cancer patients

A cancer test having prognostic utility in predicting time to disease progression, overall survival, and response to therapy in patients with MBC based upon the presence and number of CTC's. The Cell Spotter® System is used 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. The mean time to survival of patients depended upon a threshold number of 5 CTC's per 7.5 ml of blood. Detection of CTC's in metastatic cancer represents a novel prognostic factor in patients with metastatic cancers, suggests a biological role for the presence of tumor cells in the blood, and indicates that the detection of CTC's could be considered an appropriate surrogate marker for prospective therapeutic clinical trials.
