159 results about "Homeostatic mechanism" patented technology

Homeostasis is brought about by a natural resistance to change in the optimal conditions, and equilibrium is maintained by many regulatory mechanisms. All homeostatic control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components for the variable being regulated: a receptor, a control centre, and an effector.

Synergistic use of thiazolidinediones with glucagon-like peptide-1 and agonists thereof to treat metabolic instability associated with non-insulin dependent diabetes

Thiazolidinedione (TZD) and its pharmacologically active derivatives can be used, in combination with agonists of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), to treat non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, optionally with other therapies, by improving glycemic control while minimizing side effects, such as heart hypertrophy and elevated fed-state plasma glucose, which are associate with both TZD and GLP-1 monotherapies. Thus, the co-administration of TZD and GLP-1 helps regulate glucose homeostasis in Type II diabetic patients.

Method and system of breathing therapy for reducing sympathetic predominance with consequent positive modification of hypertension

InactiveUS20060047202A1Avoid influenceReduction in “ tenseness ”Gymnastic exercisingCatheterDiseaseNervous system
The invention specifies a method and system for leading a person suffering from “sympathetic predominance”, a specific symptom of which is “hypertension”, to breathe according to a certain pattern for the express purpose of positively altering the condition of sympathetic predominance (over activation), having the effect of bringing the autonomic nervous system into the state of balance, with consequent reductions in “tenseness”, blood pressure, muscular tightness, and emotional strain, as well as the alleviation of the myriad of subtle neuro-physiological consequences resulting from sympathetic predominance potentially including headaches, anxiety, sleep disorders, allergies, and other maladies that have yet to be attributed to this condition, thus leading to a general improvement in health, well being, and homeostasis. It accomplishes this by systematically reducing the breathing frequency with consequent increases in breathing depth, the ultimate goal being the realization and ongoing maintenance of 1 complete breathing cycle in 11.76 seconds or 5 complete breathing cycles in 58.8 seconds, the result being improved health, well being, and homeostasis.

Prolonged administration of NMDA antagonist drug and safener drug to create improved stable neural homeostasis

InactiveUS20050222270A1Stable and lasting improved neural homeostasisBiocideOrganic active ingredientsDiseaseNervous system
An NMDA antagonist (such as ketamine) is administered with a safener (such as clonidine) in patients suffering from neurologic disorders other than pain. The ketamine is adminsitered at a dosage that causes slurred speech, for a span of several days. This treatment enables a patient's nervous system to return to a healthy “set point”, also called an improved stable neural homeostasis, in a manner similar to a broken bone healing itself if protected from jostling and reinjury by a cast. In at least some patients, this treatment can ease problems such as addictions to illegal or pain-killing drugs, nicotine, or alcohol, compulsive or criminal behavioral problems, severe depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, phobias, etc. It may also provide some relief in some patients for problems such as chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities, allergies, autoimmune disorders, and diabetes.

Thermotherapy System Based on Redox Potential

A method for treating a disease by returning the body to a natural condition. The method adjusts a parameter of a thermotherapy for treating or preventing the disease, disability, or condition of a patient and comprises (A) a step of measuring the redox potential (or pH value) of the patient and (B) a step of determining the parameter of thermotherapy suited to the patient according to the redox potential. Considering returning the biopotential to a range called homeostatic potential, a therapeutic potential of −75 mV to −90 mV (the potential in the cell is −75 mV) the absolute value of which is higher than that of the cell is given. It has been found that this therapy effects a cure.

Method for Evaluating Physical Conditions Using Head Hair or Body Hair

It is intended to provide a method of improving dietary life or screening cancer which comprises measuring the content of an element in head hair or body hair, paying attention to the fact that the content of the element remains constant in healthy humans (i.e., homeostasis) and thus evaluating the physical conditions based on changes in the homeostasis. Namely, a method of evaluating the physical conditions whereby the physical conditions can be evaluated by measuring the content of an element in an arbitrary part of head hair or body hair. Although one's physical conditions change everyday, these changes are scarcely self-noticeable. Therefore, it is required to objectively indicate such changes in the physical conditions in numerical terms. Because of being solid, head hair or body hair can be easily handled. Thus, they are most suitable for analyzing the content of an element and enable large-scaled diagnosis at fixed intervals. This method of evaluating the physical conditions using head hair or body hair, whereby the content of an element at present can be measured by analyzing the hair root while its content of the past can be measured by analyzing at an arbitrary part, is highly effective in evaluating the physical conditions.
