Patent number: 11357942Abstract: An insertion guide facilitates insertion of an endotracheal tube (ETT) into the trachea of a patient instead of the esophagus of the patient. The ETT includes an elongated, somewhat flexible, generally hollow tube and the insertion guide includes an elongated, solid and relatively rigid shaft that is configured to be positioned within the hollow tube of the ETT. The shaft is provided with a radiused portion and/or an angled portion adjacent a distal end of the insertion guide that protrudes outwardly beyond a distal end of the ETT. The radiused portion and/or the angled portion of the shaft facilitate insertion of the distal end of the ETT past the epiglottis and into the trachea of the patient instead of into the esophagus of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: D R Burton Healthcare, LLCInventors: Jason Annis, Gregory Y.

Patent number: 11351226Abstract: Cytoablative treatments lead to severe damages on thymic epithelial cells (TECs), which result in delayed de novo thymopoïesis and a prolonged period of T-cell immunodeficiency. Understanding the mechanisms that govern thymic regeneration is of paramount interest for the recovery of a functional immune system notably after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Here, the inventors show that administration of RANK ligand (RANKL) after total body irradiation and BMT boosts thymic regeneration. Notably, this treatment is also beneficial upon BMT in aged individuals. The inventors show that RANKL can improve thymopoiesis in aged individuals affected by thymic involution. Finally, the inventors show that RANK receptor is conserved in the human thymus. Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention relates to a method of boosting thymic regeneration in a patient suffering from a thymic injury comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a RANKL polypeptide.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignees: INSERM (INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE), UNIVERSITE D'AIX MARSEILLE, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS)Inventors: Magali Irla, Noella Lopes
