Abstract: The present invention is directed to a System characterization of NASH that combines Modeling and Biomarkers, enabling pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment that relate to the inhibition, resolution and/or prevention of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). Said conditions are Liver related complications among the array of manifestations of metabolic syndromes, including Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, weight gain, abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, fatty liver diseases and certain chronic inflammatory states that lead to these manifestations, among others.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of regenerating organs and tissues in a subject suffering from one or more organ or tissue manifestations of glucose supply side associated metabolic syndrome, the method comprising: (a) confirming that the subject suffers from or is at risk for suffering from organ and/or tissue damage associated with a glucose supply side associated metabolic syndrome; and (b) co-administering to the subject an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a first and optionally a second active composition, said first active composition comprising an ileal brake hormone releasing substance encapsulated within an enteric coating which releases said substance within said subject's ileum and ascending colon causing release of at least one ileal brake hormone from L-cells of said subject, said optional second active composition being formulated in immediate and/or early release form in an over coating onto said enteric coating, wherein said second composition is b

Abstract: The invention provides compositions, methods, and diagnostics for the treatment of metabolic syndromes. In an additional aspect of the invention, compositions and methods of treatment are calibrated to mimic the ileal brake response resulting from surgical intervention, e.g. RYGB, to control metabolic syndrome manifestations and thereby reverse or ameliorate the cardiovascular damage (atherosclerosis, hypertension, lipid accumulation, and the like) resulting from progression of metabolic syndrome. Combination medicaments that act synergistically on the ileal brake and the manifestations of metabolic syndrome are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions, methods for the treatment of, and related diagnostics and computer-implementable systems that relate to, the treatment of a variety of metabolic syndromes, including hyperlipidemia, weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, fatty liver diseases and certain chronic inflammatory states. In an additional aspect of the invention, compositions and methods of treatment are calibrated to the ileal brake response to surgical intervention e.g. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)) as both activate the ileal brake, which acts in the gastrointestinal tract and the liver of a mammal to control metabolic syndrome manifestations and thereby reverse or ameliorate the cardiovascular damage (atherosclerosis, hypertension, lipid accumulation, and the like) resulting from progression of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for determining a suitable drug combination for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes by obtaining data from a Type 2 diabetes population in which all of the Type 2 diabetics are not taking any Type-2 diabetes drugs and obtaining reference levels of glucose supply and insulin demand parameters. Data from discrete samples of Type 2 diabetes populations in which all individuals are being treated with one or more Type 2 diabetes drugs at a therapeutic dose are also obtained, and the effects of the drugs on the glucose supply and insulin demand parameters are used to determine adjustment factors which represent the effect of each of the drugs at the therapeutic dosage, which are used to determined a ratio of a Glucose Supply Index (S) to an Insulin Demand Index (D). The ratio is further utilized in scoring cardiovascular risks for Type 2 diabetics and recommending therapeutic interventions.

Abstract: Air decontamination devices in one example include a filter directly exposed to ultraviolet (“UV”) radiation on an upstream side and a downstream side. Ozone may be provided to permeate the filter, as well. Reflectors may be provided to reflect UV radiation emitted in a direction away from the filter, towards the filter. The filter may be a V-bank filter, for example. Air sampling ports and prefilters may be provided. The air decontamination units may be used to decontaminate the air after industrial and medical contaminations and terrorist biological, chemical and radiological attacks, for example. Mobile isolation units, and methods of decontaminating rooms, are disclosed, as well.
