In some implementations, berberine metabolites may be administered with one or more other compounds.

Abstract: A system for predicting and summarizing medical events from electronic health records includes a computer memory storing aggregated electronic health records from a multitude of patients of diverse age, health conditions, and demographics including medications, laboratory values, diagnoses, vital signs, and medical notes. The aggregated electronic health records are converted into a single standardized data structure format and ordered arrangement per patient, e.g., into a chronological order. A computer (or computer system) executes one or more deep learning models trained on the aggregated health records to predict one or more future clinical events and summarize pertinent past medical events related to the predicted events on an input electronic health record of a patient having the standardized data structure format and ordered into a chronological order.

Abstract: A heater includes a flow guide and electrical resistance heating elements. The flow guide defines a continuous geometric helicoid disposed about a longitudinal axis and defines perforations that extend in a longitudinal direction through a first longitudinal length of the geometric helicoid. The first longitudinal length is less than a full longitudinal length of the geometric helicoid. The electrical resistance heating elements extend through the perforations. For each electrical resistance heating element, a length of that electrical resistance heating element and a pitch of the geometric helicoid at a distal end of that electrical resistance heating element are such that the distal end of that electrical resistance heating element is a distance X from the geometric helicoid at the distal end of that electrical resistance heating element. The distance X is less than or equal to 40% of the pitch at the distal end of that electrical resistance heating element.

At least one electrical resistance heating element of the plurality of electrical resistance heating elements has a first region with a first watt density and a second region with a second watt density. The second region is located farther in the longitudinal direction than the first region. The second watt density is less than the first watt density.

Abstract: Eye tracking is performed by determining an initial pupil position of a user in relation to a lens situated in front of the user, detecting a change in pupil position in relation to the lens to an updated pupil position in relation to the lens, and determining that the updated pupil position is outside a bounding box associated with the lens. The updated pupil position is a replacement pupil position with a replacement pupil position within the bounding box associated with the lens, and the updated pupil position is utilized for eye-tracking functionality. Eye tracking is also performed by determining that a first pixel associated with a gaze direction is outside a visibility region, identifying a replacement pixel within the visibility region, determining an updated gaze angle based on the replacement pixel, and performing eye tracking using the updated gaze angle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of an oxygen torch cutting system. In one embodiment, the oxygen torch cutting system comprises a cutting torch supplied with an oxygen gas source, a fuel gas source, and a third gas source. The third gas source can be a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gasses (HHO) or hydrogen gas (H2) and can be added to the fuel gas source. The oxygen torch cutting system can include one or more gas lines, gas control valves, and flashback arrestors. The addition of HHO or H2 gas to the fuel gas source can be facilitated by a tee connector. The inclusion of HHO or H2 gas into the fuel gas source increases the efficiency of the oxygen cutting torch system by replacing a significant amount of the fuel with less expensive HHO or H2 gas and increases the oxidation rate of metal and creates a cleaner flame.
