  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
    Publication number: 20230218716
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for treating atrial fibrillation (AF) or reentrant ventricular arrhythmias in a subject that involves administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a gap junction or pannexin channel inhibitor in an amount effective to preserve barrier function. In some embodiments, the subject has paroxysmal AF.

  • X-ray attenuating compositions and methods
    Patent number: 8808668
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for modulating x-ray attenuation, where the x-ray attenuation compound can comprise a molecule having at least two conformational states, a first k-edge atom attached to the molecule at a first position, and a second k-edge atom attached to the molecule at a second position, where the molecule changes from a first conformational state to a second conformational state in response to an external stimulus. Additionally, a first interatom distance between the first k-edge atom and the second k-edge atom in the first conformational state can be within a first harmonic error of 0 to about 0.2, and a second interatom distance between the first k-edge atom and the second k-edge atom in the second conformational state can be within a second harmonic error of about 0.8 to 1.0.
