Publication number: 20210259591Abstract: Machine learning in an artificial pancreas is described. An artificial pancreas system may include a wearable glucose monitoring device, an insulin delivery system, and a computing device. Broadly speaking, the wearable glucose monitoring device provides glucose measurements of a person continuously. The artificial pancreas algorithm, which may be implemented at the computing device, determines doses of insulin to deliver to the person based on a variety of aspects for the purpose of maintaining the person's glucose within a target range, as indicated by those glucose measurements. The insulin delivery system then delivers those determined doses to the person. As the artificial pancreas algorithm determines insulin doses for the person over time and effectiveness of the insulin doses to maintain the person's glucose level in the target range is observed, an underlying model of the artificial pancreas algorithm may be updated to better determine insulin doses.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2020Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Apurv Ullas Kamath, Derek James Escobar, Sumitaka Mikami, Hari Hampapuram, Benjamin Elrod West, Nathanael Paul, Naresh C.

Publication number: 20200329966Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring analyte in a host, including a continuous analyte sensor that produces a data stream indicative of a host's analyte concentration and a device that receives and records data from the data stream from the continuous analyte sensor. In one embodiment, the device includes a single point analyte monitor, from which it obtains an analyte value, and is configured to display only single point analyte measurement values, and not any analyte measurement values associated with data received from the continuous analyte sensor. Instead, data received from the continuous analyte sensor is used to provide alarms to the user when the analyte concentration and/or the rate of change of analyte concentration, as measured by the continuous analyte sensor, is above or below a predetermined range. Data received from the continuous analyte sensor may also be used to prompt the diabetic or caregiver to take certain actions, such as to perform another single point blood glucose measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2020Publication date: October 22, 2020Inventors: Jorge Valdes, David Price, Leif N.

Publication number: 20200297840Abstract: This invention reveals the pharmaceutical composition that includes the surface antigen (HBsAg) of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the antigen of the nucleocapsid (or core, HBcAg) of the same virus. The HBcAg of this composition contains messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) at a proportion of over 45% of the total amount of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in this antigen. Because of the changes in the constitution of the antigens forming it, the composition of the invention is useful for the prevention or treatment of chronic hepatitis B. It also covers the use of this pharmaceutical composition in the production of a drug for immuno-prophylaxis or immunotherapy against HBV infection, and its use to increase the immune response against an additional antigen that is co-administered with the mixture of these antigens.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2017Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Julio César AGUILAR RUBIDO, Yadira LOBAINA MATO, Enrique IGLESIAS PEREZ, Eduardo PENTÓN ARIAS, Gerardo Enrique GUILLÉN NIETO, Jorge Agustín AGUIAR SANTIAGO, Sonia GONZALEZ BLANCO, Jorge VALDES HERNANDEZ, Mariela VAZQUEZ CASTILLO
