  • Patent number: 10662478
    Abstract: The described invention provides methods for detecting, diagnosing and treating low-grade ovarian cancer and stage I ovarian cancer by comparing results from serum and ovarian tissue samples with normal controls. An increased level of expression of serine protease, wherein the serine protease is at least 2 selected from the group consisting of kallikrein 6 (KLK6), kallikrein 7 (KLK7), and PRSS8, expressed by subject samples compared to the level of expression of serine protease expressed by normal control samples is indicative of possible early stage ovarian cancer in the subject. Once early stage (I/II) ovarian cancer is diagnosed, the subject is treated with a treatment regimen effective to treat the early stage (I/II) ovarian cancer.

  • Patent number: 9734289
    Abstract: The described invention provides a system and method for clinical outcome tracking and analysis. The clinical outcome tracking and analysis comprises sorting, outcome tracking, quality of life metrics, toxicity to therapy and cost of care. The system and method includes receiving one or more parameters. Exemplary parameters for sorting include sex, age, ethnicity, comorbidities, tobacco use, source of insurance, medical record number, primary care physician, referring physician, hospital, approved service vendors, disease-specific clinical molecular phenotype, therapy intent, stage of therapy, biomarkers, and cost of care. A plurality of patient medical records are sorted, by a clinical outcome tracking and analysis module executed by a processor, to provide a set of patient medical records satisfying the one or more parameters.

  • Patent number: 9734291
    Abstract: CNA-guided care, which can improve clinical outcomes at a specific patient level and decrease total cost of care at the population level, has two faces. The first face, the enabling tool, allows a payer to transmit information identifying a health care service under consideration for a patient with a health condition whose health plan benefits cover the service and other payer-selected variables. In response, the payer receives information sufficient to establish that the medical service is an appropriate delivery or level of service allowing the payer to approve payment to a medical care provider for the service. The second face provides for communications that provide information sufficient for a complete medical evaluation and for assigning a CNA to the patient. The patient then can use the assigned CNA to select an optimal care plan and a medical professional based on patient-set criteria within the CNA.

  • Patent number: 9533010
    Abstract: The described invention provides methods and regimens for treating adverse consequences of a persistent and progressive myocardial injury-due to a vascular insufficiency that occurs early or late in a subject in need thereof, and progressive myocardial injury-preventing compositions that contain a chemotactic hematopoietic stem cell product, and, optionally, an additional active agent. The method treats ongoing vascular insufficiency affecting coronary circulation by (i) stimulating neoangiogenesis in a peri-infarct border zone, thereby improving myocardial perfusion; and, (ii) through a paracrine effect, preventing apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in the peri-infarct border zone. The neoangiogenesis and paracrine-mediated reduction of apoptosis reduces progressive myocardial cell loss, which leads to improvement in cardiac function and a reduction of risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.
