Patent number: 8986342Abstract: Methods for ischemic conditioning treatments of a chronic medical condition are provided. Baseline disease-related parameters of a patient with a chronic medical condition are measured. Ischemia is induced in the patient by occluding and releasing arterial flow in one or more extremities of the patient. Post-ischemia parameters in the patient are measured. The baseline and post-ischemia parameters are compared to provide an assessment of an ischemic conditioning treatment of a chronic medical condition. The repeated, scheduled delivery of ischemic conditioning provides a beneficial, therapeutic effect on the chronic medical condition. Also provided is a device for pulse oximetry during periods of absent or low pulsatile blood flow including an artificial pulse generator as well as the use of said device in assessment of ischemic conditioning.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2008Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: IC TherapeuticsInventors: Morteza Naghavi, Albert Andrew Yen, Haider Hassan, David Panthagani

Publication number: 20120248004Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for bottling/packaging orally ingested compositions, said method comprising compounds of nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or polyceutical components, collectively unique combinations of liquid and solid elements such as pills and capsules. These can be nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, or polyceuticals for improving cardiovascular health. Said apparatus comprises a container having a conventional closure with an additional detachable base member. This packaging configuration divides the container into two chambers; the superior or upper chamber and the inferior or lower chamber. In one embodiment the upper chamber is designed to contain liquid compounds, whereas the lower detachable chamber is designed to contain solid matters such as pills and capsules. In one form of this invention the upper and lower chambers are attached to each other by a latching mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Inventors: Morteza Naghavi, Mortaza Mark Naghavi, Albert Andrew Yen

Publication number: 20110270050Abstract: The disclosure pertains to automated and subject operated medical diagnostic equipment that may be remotely monitored by trained medical personnel. The diagnostic equipment may be installed in publicly accessible locations such as airports or hotels. The diagnostic equipment may be located in a subject's home. The diagnostic equipment may be utilized by a subject as prompted by the diagnostic equipment. The prompts may be communicated audibly or by text. The text may be communicated using display screens. The display screens may be touch screens allowing the subject to answer audible or text questions. The diagnostic equipment may include a key pad either as a separate component or as part of a display screen. The subject may also respond verbally. The diagnostic equipment will be in communication with a computer processor containing software allowing the equipment to respond to subject verbal input including questions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Inventors: Morteza Naghavi, Albert Andrew Yen, Haider Ali Hassan, David S.
