Publication number: 20110201545Abstract: A method of making a gel-type livestock feed includes initially forming a feed mixture by mixing feed nutrient components, water, alginate, and a calcium component insoluble in water or a sequestrate to inhibit the calcium component from reacting with the alginate. Once the feed mixture is formed, the calcium component is solubilized or the sequestrates affecting the reactivity between the alginate and the calcium component is removed such that a gel feed is formed that includes a gel matrix containing the feed nutrient components. The gel feed may then be fed to the livestock. In another aspect of the present invention, piglets are weaned by feeding the gel feed for at least seven days directly after weaning. The gel feed may also include protein derived from blood with or without egg protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2011Publication date: August 18, 2011Inventors: Kent Lanter, Brenda de Rodas, Bill L.

Publication number: 20110190233Abstract: The invention relates to anionic conjugates of glycosylated bacterial metabolites that may be used to mimic the structure and/or activity of the anionic bioactive molecules known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of the conjugates. Such conjugates are useful in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disease conditions and in particular chronic disease conditions such as inflammatory (including allergic) diseases, metastatic cancers and infection by pathogenic agents including bacteria, viruses or parasites.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2009Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: GLYCAN BIOSCIENCES PTY LTDInventors: Warren Charles Kett, Yugang Chen

Publication number: 20110171232Abstract: Disclosed is a method of diagnosing autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus, which involves detecting the presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in a human subject having at least one symptom associated with a suspected diagnosis an autoimmune disease. Also disclosed is a method of treating these autoimmune diseases, which involves at least partially eradicating a SIBO condition in the human subject. The method includes administration of antimicrobial or probiotic agents, or normalizing intestinal motility by employing a prokinetic agent. Also disclosed is a kit for the diagnosis or treatment of autoimmune diseases.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2011Publication date: July 14, 2011Applicant: CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTERInventors: Henry C.
