34 results about "Premature thelarche" patented technology

Premature thelarche (PT) is a medical condition, characterised by isolated breast development in female infants. It occurs in females younger than 8 years, with the highest occurrence before the age of 2. PT is rare, occurring in 2.2-4.7% of females aged 0 to 2 years old. The exact cause of the condition is still unknown, but it has been linked to a variety of genetic, dietary and physiological factors.

Prenatal and postnatal screening and treatment of critical monosaccharide deficiencies for neurologic and immunologic function

A method for determining the effect of critical glyconutrient dietary supplements in premature and term infants on growth, health, and brain function during early childhood development is described. The method comprises determining a critical target nutrient profile in typical samples of preterm and mother's milk, developing a supplement of the missing critical target nutrients to simulate mother's milk, performing an evaluation of early child development by correlating physiologic brain function with cognitive / behavioral brain function in low birth weight premature and term infants, assessing family influence and home environment on developmental outcome on infants under treatment, and comparing term siblings of low birth weight premature vs. term babies. A composition having the critical nutrients, an algorithm for screening and treatment, and a useful kit for employing the above are also described.

Method for intrathecal administration of autologous stem cells in premature infants

The invention provides a method of treating a premature infant at a statistical risk of sustaining an intraventricular hemorrhage. The method, or therapeutic protocol, can include at least one or more of the following steps: identifying premature infants at a statistical risk of having an intraventricular hemorrhage, collecting umbilical cord blood from the identified premature infant, separating totipotential stem cells (e.g., having the ability to proliferate and differentiate as neural stem cells) from the collected cord blood, storing the separated stem cells, establishing evidence of an intraventricular hemorrhage (preferably prior to Grade III / IV if possible) in the premature infant, and intrathecally administering the autologous cord blood derived stem cells to the premature infant.

Free radical scavengers or promoters thereof as therapeutic adjuvants in preterm parturition

The usage of compounds that improve fetal and neonatal outcome of preterm birth is described. These compounds are scavengers of ROS, their precursors, and agents that induce production of the scavengers. Examples of these compounds are glutathione, NAC, antioxidants, and spin trapping compounds. These compounds improve fetal outcome by inhibiting a fetal inflammatory process that may affect the fetus independently of prematurity. This fetal inflammatory response is characterized by increased cytokine and matrix metalloproteases (MMP) levels both in the mother and fetus and may be modulated by ROS at different levels. Targeting ROS formation with compounds such as specific antioxidants, glutathione or spin trapping compounds, their precursors, and / or agents which induce their production will suppress both the direct effects of ROS and its indirect effects through cytokines and MMPs already circulating in the system. This therapeutical intervention would limit the pathophysiologoical chain of events that ultimately leads to PPROM, preterm birth and / or adverse fetal and neonatal outcome.

Composition for treating intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants comprising mesenchymal stem cells

ActiveUS20140072527A1Prevent ventricular dilatationLower Level RequirementsBiocideNervous disorderPremature thelarcheCerebral ventricular dilatation
Disclosed is a composition for the prophylaxis or therapy of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants comprising mensenchymal stem cells. Functioning to prevent ventricular dilatation and reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid, the composition comprising mesenchymal stem cells is advantageously useful for the prophylaxis or therapy of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants. Accordingly, the composition is effectively preventive of hydrocephalus which occurs subsequent to intraventricular hemorrhage. In addition, the composition makes not only a histological and biochemical recuperation in the intraventricular hemorrhage-injured brain, but also significantly improves sensory motor functions. Mesenchymal stem cells can be used as an effective therapeutic agent because they are less prone to induce immune rejection responses and are highly likely to secrete proliferative, differentiative, and regulatory factors. Hence, mesenchymal stem cells are expected to play a critical role in the therapy of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants.

Method for monitoring fetus/preterm infant development, and for promoting the normal development of preterm infants

A method for monitoring fetal and / or preterm infant development and a method to promote normal growth & development of preterm infants, especially in regards to each preterm infant's collective set of immature organs. Monitoring development is accomplished by using VEGF 121 as a biomarker in bodily fluid levels, to determine whether appropriate angiogenic activity is occurring to allow preterm infant or fetal development to proceed normally. The promotion of preterm infant normal development is accomplished by administering to a preterm infant human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and / or Luteinizing hormone (LH) and / or Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) in physiological amounts at appropriate intervals to raise and maintain the activation level of the patient's combined hCG / LH receptor activity, or VEGF 121 level, to a level that is normally present in fetuses of the equivalent developmental (gestational) age. By promoting normal development, we prevent onset or progression of disorders associated with premature organs rather than treat disorders associated with the premature organs after they occur.

Method for using supplemental vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or analog to prevent oxygen induced arrest of vessel growth and disease sequela of premature infant birth

InactiveUS20170224774A1Stimulates vessel growthPromotes normal vessel growthPeptide/protein ingredientsPharmaceutical delivery mechanismDiseasePremature thelarche
Disclosed herein is a method for administering systemic (e.g., by intravenous injection) supplemental vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to premature infants to prevent the disease sequelae and complications including but not limited to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and / or paraventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and / or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) associated with premature births. The VEGF is administered to the premature infant to produce a physiologic serum VEGF level that is substantially similar to the VEGF level found in a normally developing fetus in the utero. By way of one example, the retinal blood vessel growth of the premature infant is monitored, and the administration of VEGF is terminated when the infant's retinal blood vessels are substantially fully grown to ROP Zone 3. By virtue of the method herein disclosed, normal vessel growth occurs, and lung disease, ROP with blindness, brain damage and other diseases associated with premature birth are substantially avoided.
