Publication number: 20110008904Abstract: A method for determining if a patient has a traumatic brain injury includes obtaining a body specimen from the patient, determining the concentration of marinobufagenin in the body specimen, comparing the concentration of marinobufagenin to the concentration in such body specimens in normal persons, and if the marinobufagenin concentration is substantially above the concentration of a normal person, concluding traumatic brain injury exists. In a preferred embodiment, a substantial elevation is deemed to be an increase of about 30 percent above the marinobufagenin concentration of a normal person. The body specimen may be blood or urine. If a substantial elevation is deemed to exist, the magnitude from the departure from the concentration of a normal person may be employed in determining the timing and nature of treatment provided to the patient. The method may be repeated at predetermined intervals to monitor changes in the marinobufagenin with time. Corresponding apparatus is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2010Publication date: January 13, 2011Applicant: SCOTT AND WHITE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND SCOTT, SHERWOOD, AND BRINDLEY FOUNDATIONInventor: JULES B.

Patent number: 5832450Abstract: An electronic medical record system stores data about patient encounters arising from a content generator in free-form text. A header for each encounter record also uses text to store context information for each encounter record. Each header comprises a plurality of attributes embodied as a field descriptor and a value, bound together as a text object. By binding the field descriptors to the values, each encounter record is complete in itself, without reference to database keys, thereby providing a self-validating record storage system.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1997Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Scott & White Memorial HospitalInventors: Dennis Lee Myers, Kim Steven Culp
