  • Publication number: 20090148413
    Abstract: A composition and method for treatment for bowel disorders is described. The composition consists of three parts. The first part is a highly purified, insoluble, chemically unmodified fiber from plants which is mixed with an aqueous solution such as water. The second part of the composition is a commercially available probiotic preparation. These commercially probiotic preparations contain large numbers of viable microorganisms of either Lactobacillus sp., Bifidobacter sp., Streptococcus sp. or yeast. The third part of the composition is polyethylene glycol which may be administered simultaneously with the aforementioned fiber. Consumption of the fiber and aqueous solution combination plus probiotic and PEG by patients with constipation or Irritable Bowel Syndrome results in either a resolution of the symptoms or a marked improvement in symptoms without significant side effects.

  • Publication number: 20070269403
    Abstract: The inventions provide an improved treatment for hepatic encephalopathy characterized by hyperammonemia and/or constipation, comprising the oral administration of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in amounts sufficient to reduce plasma levels of ammonia and/or to alleviate constipation. Preferably, the PEG is administered in combination with lactulose, which provides a palatable composition for the treatment of HE with excellent therapeutic benefits and reduced side effects as compared to lactulose alone.

  • Patent number: 6745151
    Abstract: A diagnostic/prognostic system monitors performance of a vehicle or other apparatus wherein the vehicle has a plurality of operational components. Each operational component has a predetermined nominal operating state and generates respective electrical signals pursuant to its operation. A data collection memory in the vehicle stores samples of the electrical signals in a rolling buffer. An analyzer in the vehicle is responsive to the electrical signals for detecting a trigger event indicative of at least a potential variance of an operational component from its nominal operating state. A computation center located remotely from the vehicle has a database storing representations of electrical signals for classifying nominal and irregular operating states of the operational components. A transmitter is activated by the trigger event to transmit at least some of the stored samples in the rolling buffer at the time of the trigger event to the computation center.
