  • Methods and systems for assessing biological materials using optical and spectroscopic detection techniques
    Publication number: 20040052730
    Abstract: Optical detection techniques for the assessment of the physiological state, health and/or viability of biological materials are provided. Biological materials which may be examined using such techniques include cells, tissues, organs, subcellular components and intact animals. The inventive techniques may be employed in screening of potential diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. One or more maps of data that correspond to the optical properties of a sample may be created and viewed.

  • Methods and compositions for treating conditions of the central and peripheral nervous systems using non-synaptic mechanisms
    Publication number: 20020082252
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treating selected conditions of the central and peripheral nervous systems employing non-synaptic mechanisms. More specifically, one aspect of the present invention relates to methods and materials for treating seizure and seizure disorders, epilepsy, status epilepticus, migraine, spreading depression, intracranial hypertension; for treating the pathophysiological effects of head trauma, stroke, ischemia and hypoxia; for treating or protecting from the pathophysiological effects of neurotoxic agents such as ethanol; and for treating neurophsyciatric disorders and central nervous system edema by administering agents that modulate ionic concentrations and/or ionic gradients in the brain, particularly ion-dependent or cation-chloride cotransporter antagonists. Electrolyte cotransport antagonists and combinations of such compositions with other agents for treating various conditions are disclosed.
