  • USE AND TARGETING OF CD98 LIGHT-CHAIN PROTEINS IN THERAPIES FOR THYROID HORMONE DISORDERS
    Publication number: 20090081212
    Abstract: The invention is related to the normalization of thyroid hormone transport by modulation of 4F2hc, CD981c, and the 4F2hc-CD981c heterodimer. Approaches to identify compounds that modulate thyroid hormone disorders, methods of identifying agonists and antagonists that modulate thyroid hormone disorders, and methods of making pharmaceuticals that ameliorate a thyroid hormone disorder are described herein.
    Type: Application

  • Multi-functional nasogastric tubular device for use with patients undergoing general anesthesia
    Publication number: 20030060764
    Abstract: A multi-functional nasogastric tubular device for insertion into a patient includes an elongated flexible body having a pair of spaced apart opposite proximal and distal ends, a plurality of spaced apart lumens formed in the body so as to extend side-by-side with respect to one another between the proximal and distal ends of the body and being open at least at the proximal end of the body, and a temperature sensor disposed on the body, such as in one of the lumens of the body, and running from the proximal end of the body to the distal end thereof such that the temperature sensor is adapted to monitor internal core temperature of a patient and also to serve as a radiopaque element for marking the position of the elongated body in the patient.
