  • Publication number: 20230221332
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing the risk of glaucoma development, which can diagnose the risk of glaucoma development at the pre-disease stage, and to provide a new method to diagnose disease progression in the end-stage glaucoma. The method can include, for example, a diagnosing method for the risk of an ocular disease development or for the disease progression of an end-stage ocular disease by molecular profile analysis of the ocular anterior tissue microenvironment, comprising a step of measuring the concentration level of a metabolite appearing in the collected aqueous humor specimens by mass spectrometry (MS).

  • Patent number: 11264022
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, method, and program. The information processing apparatus includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire input information of a user that includes a time lag between an input start and end, in a mode in which a plurality of contents are consecutively provided via at least one non-content period; and an output control unit configured, in a case where the input information is acquired in a content period in which first content or second content to be provided at a time later than the first content is being provided, to cause an output unit to output first output information on the basis of the input information, and in a case where the input information is acquired in the non-content period, to cause the output unit to output second output information different from the first output information, on the basis of the input information.

  • Publication number: 20130275349
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for determining a physiological attribute in a mammal, including the onset or progression of human glaucoma, with high accuracy. The results of the determination of genotype date and the results of the determination of cytokine date are consolidated by a consolidated determination unit (114); comparison is made for determining as to which is larger, the number of Case determination procedures or the number of control determination procedures (S330); and it is determined as Case (glaucoma) when the number of Case determination procedures is larger and it is determined as Control (normal person) when the number of Control determination procedures is larger.
