10871485 · 2020-12-22 · ·

Kits, compositions, and methods for labeling target materials or target analytes are considered. The composition can include one or more affinity molecules indirectly conjugated to one or more detection moieties. The kit can be used to detect a single biomarker or multiple biomarkers. The kit can be used to perform a single round of labeling or multiple rounds of labeling.

EVALUATION, ASSAYS AND TREATMENT OF PKAL-MEDIATED DISORDERS
20200393464 · 2020-12-17 · ·

The invention provides assay methods of detecting last protease CI inhibitor (C1-INH) that binds plasma kallikreir, Factor XII, or both, and uses thereof for identifying subjects at risk for or suffering from a pKal-me-diated or bradykinin-mediated disorder. Provided methods permit analysis of patients with plasma kallikrein-mediated angioedema (KMA), or other diseases mediated by pKal useful in the evaluation and treatment.

RUNX1 INHIBITION FOR TREATMENT OF PROLIFERATIVE VITREORETINOPATHY AND CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH EPITHELIAL TO MESENCHYMAL TRANSITION

The present subject matter provides compositions, formulations and methods for preventing or reducing proliferation or migration of retinal cells or epithelial to mesenchymal transition in ocular cells or cells from other tissues.

Validating biomarker measurement
10719579 · 2020-07-21 · ·

A method for validating quantification of biomarkers, the biomarkers being quantified using a quantification technique of a selected type, and the method including determining a plurality of biomarker values, each biomarker value being indicative of a value measured or derived from a measured value, for at least one corresponding biomarker of the biological subject and being at least partially indicative of a concentration of the biomarker in a sample taken from the subject, determining at least one control value by determining a combination of biomarker values, comparing each control value to a respective control reference and determining if the biomarker values are valid using results of the comparison.

Methods and devices for assessing in vivo toxic levels of bilirubin and diagnosing increased risk of bilirubin neurotoxicity
10712352 · 2020-07-14 · ·

In alternative embodiments are provided methods, devices and systems that use clinical data to determine whether bilirubin binding is normal in a newborn infant with hyperbilirubinemia in order to detect in vivo neurologically toxic levels of bilirubin and to determine whether treatment is needed to prevent a bilirubin-induced neurological injury (e.g. encephalopathy). In alternative embodiments, also provided are devices and systems comprising automated micro-fluid handling technologies such as zone fluidics systems to obtain a bilirubin binding panel. In alternative embodiments, also provided are methods for using the bilirubin binding panel to determine if treatments are needed to ameliorate, reverse, or prevent a bilirubin-induced neurological injury (e.g. encephalopathy) in an individual in need thereof such as a newborn with hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice), and for commencing the treatment, if needed.

Assays for determining levels of plasma protease C1 inhibitor
10690670 · 2020-06-23 · ·

The invention provides assay methods of detecting plasma protease CI inhibitor (Cl-INH) that binds plasma kallikrein, Factor XII, or both, and uses thereof for identifying subjects at risk for or suffering from a pKal-mediated or bradykinin-mediated disorder. Provided methods permit analysis of patients with plasma kallikrein-mediated angioedema (KMA), or other diseases mediated by pKal useful in the evaluation and treatment.

Physiologic insulin-sensitivity improvement

An individualized intravenous exogenous insulin-based therapy for infusing insulin intravenously to a subject or a patient to improve impaired hepatic glucose processing. The therapy includes treatment sessions involving the assessment of metabolic factors, forming a subject profile, and matching the subject profile to a diabetic treatment model. Using the diabetic treatment model, a quantity and frequency of intravenous insulin bolus, dosage amounts of magnesium, and dosage amounts of potassium can be calculated. The methods that improve impaired hepatic glucose processing in subjects and patients can simultaneously introduce separated insulin bolus from an insulin reservoir, dosage amounts of magnesium, and dosage amounts of potassium. The subject profile can create a weight management protocol that uses a metabolic enhancement, wherein the individualized intravenous exogenous insulin-based therapy produces a subject or a patient with improved cellular ATP functioning.

METHODS AND DEVICES FOR ASSESSING IN VIVO TOXIC LEVELS OF BILIRUBIN AND DIAGNOSING INCREASED RISK OF BILIRUBIN NEUROTOXICITY
