675 results about "Glucocorticoid" patented technology

Glucocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones. Glucocorticoids are corticosteroids that bind to the glucocorticoid receptor that is present in almost every vertebrate animal cell. The name "glucocorticoid" is a portmanteau (glucose + cortex + steroid) and is composed from its role in regulation of glucose metabolism, synthesis in the adrenal cortex, and its steroidal structure (see structure to the right). A less common synonym is glucocorticosteroid.

Using physiological sensor data with an implantable medical device

A method, system, and apparatus for providing an electrical neurostimulation therapy to a neural structure of a patient's body using an implantable medical device (IMD). A first electrical signal is provided using the implantable medical device. A first electrical signal is applied to the neural structure. An implanted sensor is provided. A physiological parameter is sensed using the implanted sensor. The physiological parameter is selected from the group consisting of a neurotransmitter parameter, a neurotransmitter breakdown product parameter, a neuropeptide parameter, and a glucocorticoid (GC) parameter. The first electrical signal is modified based upon the sensed physiological parameter to generate a second electrical signal. The second electrical signal is applied to the neural structure.

A pharmaceutical composition and formulations comprise preventative, prophylactic or therapeutic amounts of an oligo(s) anti-sense to a specific gene(s) or its corresponding mRNA(s), and a glucocorticoid and / or non-glucocorticoid steroid or a ubiquinone or their salts. The agents, composition and formulations are used for treatment of ailments associated with impaired respiration, bronchoconstriction, lung allergy(ies) or inflammation, and abnormal levels of adenosine, adenosine receptors, sensitivity to adenosine, lung surfactant and ubiquinone, such as pulmonary fibrosis, vasoconstriction, inflammation, allergies, allergic rhinitis, asthma, impeded respiration, lung pain, cystic fibrosis, bronchoconstriction, COPD, RDS, ARDS, cancer, and others. The present treatment is effectively administered by itself for conditions without known therapies, as a substitute for therapies exhibiting undesirable side effects, or in combination with other treatments, e.g. before, during and after other respiratory system therapies, radiation, chemotherapy, antibody therapy and surgery, among others. Each of the agents of this invention may be administered directly into the respiratory system so that they gain direct access to the lungs, or by other effective routes of administration. A kit comprises a delivery device, the agents and instructions for its use.

The present invention is directed to the use of a PDE4 inhibitor and a glucocorticoid to treat peripheral B-cell neoplasms. In particular, the present invention provides a method of treating individuals (e.g. patients) diagnosed with peripheral B-cell leukemias by administering pharmaceutical compositions comprising Type 4 cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase inhibitors and a glucocorticoid. Preferably, the combination of the PDE4 inhibitor and the glucocorticoid has a synergistic effect on apoptosis such that the level of apoptosis induced is greater than the level that would be expected by simply adding a PDE4 inhibitor to a glucocorticoid.

Formulations and methods for providing prolonged local anesthesia

A formulation and methods for inducing sustained regional local anesthesia in a patient comprising a substrate comprising a local anesthetic and an effective amount of a biocompatible, biodegradable, controlled release material prolonging the release of the local anesthetic from the substrate to obtain a reversible local anesthesia when inplanted or injected in a patient, and a pharmaceutically acceptable, i.e., non-toxic, non-glucocorticoid augmenting agent effective to prolong the duration of the local anesthesia for a time period longer than that obtainable from the substrate without the augmenting agent.

System and method for the simultaneous, non-invasive estimation of blood glucose, glucocorticoid level and blood pressure

System and method for the simultaneous and non-invasive estimation of blood glucose, glucocorticoid and pressure levels. It comprises an activity module detector for a digitalized signal acquired by a sensor, representing the distal heartbeat of a person, selecting a segment of consecutive signal samples of fixed duration Swindow(t) and using the same to generate sub-windows Sframe(t, n) of shorter duration; a signal processing module which receives the two signals Swindow(t) and Sframe(t, n) and which delivers a vector XF at its output with the parameters of a physiological model and module based on automatic learning, which receives the XF vector and information on a person's characteristics and provides an estimation of blood glucose levels (BGL), systolic pressure levels (SPL), diastolic pressure levels (DPL) and glucocorticoid levels (GCL) at its output.

InactiveUS20090035281A1Good effectCounteracts paracrine actionBiocidePeptide/protein ingredientsDexamethasoneInterleukin 6
The combination of an interleukin-6 (IL-6) antagonist and an antiproliferative drug is described. In its preferred embodiment, the present invention describes the combination of an IL-6 superantagonist, particularly a superantagonist totally incapable of binding gp130 and an antiproliferative drug belonging to the glucocorticoid class (SANT-7 and dexamethasone). The combination according to the present invention has shown surprising synergism in an animal model of multiple myeloma and the ability to overcome the resistance to the antiproliferative drug developed by myeloid cells. The combination according to the present invention is useful for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of tumours, particularly IL-6-dependent tumours.
