Hydrogels for vocal cord and soft tissue augmentation and repair
ActiveUS20100055184A1Repairing pliabilityDiminished functional vibratory capacityBiocideOrganic active ingredientsEpitheliumBreast implant
The present invention provides hydrogels and compositions thereof for vocal cord repair or augmentation, as well as other soft tissue repair or augmentation (e.g., bladder neck augmentation, dermal fillers, breast implants, intervertebral disks, muscle-mass). The hydrogels or compositions thereof are injected into the superficial lamina propria or phonatory epithelium to restore the phonatory mucosa of the vocal cords, thereby restoring a patient's voice. In particular, it has been discovered that hydrogels with an elastic shear modulus of approximately 25 Pa are useful in restoring the pliability of the phonatory mucosa. The invention also provides methods of preparing and using the inventive hydrogels.

InactiveUS20140234275A1Improve satisfactionInhibition effectBiocideOrganic active ingredientsWhole bodyPrimary motor neuron
Methods and systems for the treatment for ALS incorporating stem cells harvested from the subject to be treated. These stem cells may be genetically altered with the addition of several genes of interest. Then, the patient will receive systemic gene therapy for the muscles and directed specifically at motor neurons. In this multi-pronged treatment approach, the stem cells provide immune regulation and the regeneration of motor neurons. And, the new motor neurons carry the added genes, which are protective against motor neuron death from ALS. The systemic therapy increases the amount of genes, which further reduces the effects of ALS. Additional gene therapy administered in the muscle will be further protective of the axon, while maintaining muscle mass and function.

Method and device for measuring body composition
InactiveCN1489447AHigh precisionCorrect feature deviationDiagnostic recording/measuringSensorsProximal pointRegression analysis
To accurately measure the muscle mass, body-fat ratio and / or other information of the subject, the human body is divided into nine segments including the trunk, right and left forearms, right and left upper arms, right and left thigh, and right and left crura. Four distal voltage-measuring points Pv are determined at the wrists and ankles, and four proximal voltage-measuring points Pv are determined at the elbows and knees. Four current-carrying electrodes and four measuring electrodes are used. First, the measuring electrodes are attached to distal points, and the impedances of four limbs and the trunk are measured. Then, the measuring electrodes are moved to proximal points, and the impedances of four limbs and the trunk are measured. From the measurement result, the measurement value is calculated for each segment. Then, using estimation formulae created by a regression analysis based on the data collected with an MRI, the body composition such as a muscle mass is estimated from the measurement values of the impedances and body specific information including the height, weight, etc.

Methods and apparatuses to effect deformation of computer-generated three-dimensional surfaces
Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems to deform a computer-generated three-dimensional surface using a lattice of rigid bone segments driven by an interpolation algorithm to define a muscle. Such embodiments allow a realistic presentation of subdermal muscle mass. In one embodiment, each end of a curve, created by an interpolation function, is attached to a corresponding bone. One or more muscle segments are attached along the curve. The curve along with the attached muscle segments defines a muscle. As the bones move and rotate the curve is expanded or contracted due to the endpoints of the curve being fixed to distinct bones. The attached muscle segments will experience corresponding expansion and contraction thus providing a realistic presentation of skin deformation. For one embodiment, the position of each muscle segment is determined in reference to a standard Bezier interpolation function.
