  • Systems and methods for quantifying duration of heart sounds
    Patent number: 11771378
    Abstract: Systems and methods for quantifying the duration of S1 and/or S2 heart sounds, in order to identify markers of heart failure and/or lung failure, are provided. Cardiac cycles containing S1 and S2 sound can be identified in a phonocardiogram and normalized. In order to quantify S1 and S2 sound length, the envelope of the absolute value of the signal can be obtained for each cycle. The sound waves of two components can be separated using the identified single sound wave. These features can be correlated to measures of heart failure and/or lung failure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2022
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2023
    Assignee: THE FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
    Inventors: Valentina Dargam, Joshua Daniel Hutcheson

  • Mitochondrial phosphate carrier targets for treating soft-tissue calcification
    Patent number: 10190119
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating soft-tissue calcification by targeting SLC25A24 and/or SLC25A3.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2019

  • System and method for studying matrix vesicle calcification
    Patent number: 10107823
    Abstract: Systems and methods for imaging of matrix vesicle-derived calcification are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises raising the pH of collagen stored in a solution, thereby causing the collagen to come out of the solution to form a network, adding matrix vesicles to the network, resulting in calcifications, and imaging the formation of the calcification. The calcification process can be imaged in real time by confocal or reflected light microscopy.
