  • Publication number: 20220346677
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for managing blood glucose in a subject. An insulin delivery cannula may comprise a hollow tube comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is in fluid communication with a source of a concentrated insulin or insulin analog formulation of at least about 150 units per milliliter. The distal end may be configured to deliver the concentrated insulin or insulin analog formulation into a subcutaneous space. A continuous amperometric or coulometric glucose sensor may located no more than a pre-determined distance away from the distal end. An insulin pump may be fluidically coupled to the proximal end, and may be attached to the insulin delivery cannula directly or via an intervening tube. The glucose sensor and the insulin delivery cannula may be configured to be inserted into the subcutaneous space simultaneously by a single insertion device.

  • Patent number: 9816139
    Abstract: Methods for predicting a disease free time interval (DFI) for a cancer patient under consideration for initial or further chemotherapy treatment are disclosed. The methods include obtaining a biological sample from a patient and detecting a copy number of chromosome region A1 and/or C2. The mean copy number per cell is correlated with a DFI for the subject. The chemotherapy can include doxorubicin and/or L-asparaginase treatment. Also provided are kits for predicting DFI in a subject with cancer and computer readable storage media for performing the presently disclosed methods.
