  • Patent number: 10325020
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying an adverse effect of a pharmaceutical substance are provided. A system may tokenize an electronic medical record for a plurality of tokens. The system may further generate a distance score between a first vector of a word embedding model and a second vector of the word embedding model. The first vector may correspond to a substance token and the second vector may correspond to a condition token. The system may further detect an absence of a preventative association between the substance token and the condition token in a prevention repository. The system may further generate a causal link indication indicative of a causal link between the substance token and the condition token in response to the distance score being greater than a threshold value and detection of the absence of the preventative association between the substance token and the condition token.

  • Publication number: 20120109179
    Abstract: An inflatable device (1) for use within the vasculature of a body and having an expandable annular body (Ia) which is expandable by inflation of a series of inflation lumen (2) defined therein, the device having inflated (b) and non-inflated (a) states and inner (3) and outer (4) annular walls, the device being adapted so that inflationary pressure within the lumen moves the device from the non-inflated state toward the inflated state by radially outward expansion of both the outer and inner walls so that the annular body expands to form an annular structure with a central lumen defined by the inner wall (3). Non-compliant or semi-compliant balloons (36) are provided in the inflation lumen (2). The device may be employed as an embolic filter or an introducer catheter.
