Method for diagnosing heart disease, predicting sudden death, and analyzing treatment response using multifractal analysis

InactiveUS6993377B2Reducing minimum sizeIncreased analytic detailMedical simulationMedical report generationTest batterySudden death
A method of analyzing electrocardiogram (EKG) data for use in the diagnosis of heart disease, prognosis of cardiac conditions, and the monitoring of heart disease therapies is disclosed. The method utilizes a wavelet-based multifractal analysis with one or more of (1) a discrete wavelet smoothing step to remove the effects of abnormal beats; (2) “Levy flight” analysis to detect the frequency of abnormal beats known to adversely affect the multifractal (MF) analysis; and (3) MF alpha analysis, a multifractal extension of monofractal short term (ST) alpha analysis. The invention further comprises an EKG test battery comprising Levy flight anomalous beat / beat cluster screening, followed by (ST) MF alpha analysis and MF Holder analysis (when validated by the Levy flight analysis). The wavelet smoothing step can also be used to classify human EKGs by observing the effect of sequential smoothing on the MF Holder coefficient. Alternative choices to the wavelet smoothing approach to removal of abnormal beat effects include probability distribution function analysis to determine the MF Holder coefficient directly, abnormal beat ridge skeleton removal to remove the offending beats based on a direct multifractal spectrum calculation, and the calculation of various types of entropy coefficients for the EKG time series.

Prediction of an agent's or agents' activity across different cells and tissue types

The present invention relates to a novel algorithm that uses molecular profile signatures to extrapolate the physiological processes of one type of cell set (e.g., cell line, tissue, normal or diseased) to predict the activity of an agent or agents against another type of cell set that has never been exposed to the agent in question (drug efficacy prediction). The novel algorithm also allows one to predict the therapeutic response of a patient to a therapeutic regimen even though the patient (or patients) may have never been exposed to that agent before, thereby allowing for selecting a therapeutic agent or combination of agents that would best suit the patient (i.e., personalized medicine). The present invention also relates to methods of using the agents identified by the novel algorithm to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer.

Method of handling subscriber services in a wireless intelligent network

A method in a Wireless Intelligent Network (WIN) of handling subscriber services when a serving Mobile Switching Center (MSC) does not support all WIN triggers. The WIN includes a Home Location Register (HLR) having a subscriber profile that indicates the WIN triggers required to support a particular subscriber's active services. When an invoke message is sent from the MSC to the HLR, a WIN Capabilities (WINCAP) parameter is included and indicates the WIN triggers supported by the MSC. The HLR identifies a Service Control Point (SCP) for each subscriber service that requires a WIN trigger and is not supported by the MSC. The HLR then queries each identified SCP for call-treatment instructions. If an SCP determines that its service is essential, a response is returned to the HLR with an instruction to deny service to the subscriber. If an SCP determines that its service is not essential, a response is returned to the HLR with an instruction to skip the unsupported service and allow basic services to the subscriber. The HLR collates the responses and determines a call-treatment response to return to the MSC.
