  • Patent number: 6776984
    Abstract: A method of treatment of and composition for human degenerative neurologic diseases discloses the administration of therapeutically amounts of an enhancement agent, such as thrombopoietin, to enhance the repair of neurons, including re-myelinization. A regulatory agent, such as thyroid hormone or thyrotropin, may also be included as part of the method and composition as a regulator of cell division and oligodendroglia production.

  • Patent number: 5916242
    Abstract: Rather than cooling the brain by the relatively slow heat conduction through the low heat conductivity of the bony skull and hair covering the head, the present invention teaches the use of a light weight, easily applied neck encircling collar in firm contact with the soft tissue of the neck, and particularly in good thermal contact with the carotid arteries traversing the neck. A coolant flowing through channels embedded in the collar rapidly cools the blood flowing through the carotid arteries which branch into blood vessels throughout the brain providing vascular access and attendant rapid internal cooling throughout the brain including its deepest recesses. Placing the collar on the patient's neck is easily and quickly accomplished simultaneously with other emergency medical techniques, such as CPR, which maintain the patient's heart and lung activity. The collar of the invention contains no metallic parts; the collar, including the coolant channel, may be non-metallized fabric or plastic.

  • Patent number: 5043909
    Abstract: An automated process and device for testing both C.W. and swept output signal modulation of a system or unit under test. The invention conditions the output signals to be compatible for measurement, measures incremental cycle periods of the signals using a continuous time counter, converts raw signal data into formatted tables, calculates prescribed parameters relating to the signals, aligns the calculated prescribed parameters relating to the signals, computes incremental signal frequencies from the incremental cycle periods as measured, substarts the incremental signal frequencies from the predicted signal frequencies to form a frequency residual model, constructs a curve using the incremental signal frequencies, and displays the curve. A prediction model is created and used to predict expected results. The prediction model defines ideal behavior of both C.W. and swept signals from a unit under test.

  • Patent number: 4098899
    Abstract: A method of reducing psychogenic impotence by ingestion of neostigmine bromide or neostigmine methyl sulfate at a time prior to sexual attempt and in an amount sufficient to produce sensual stimulation. Administration by oral mucosal absorption, i.e. sub-lingually enhances the effect of the medication.
