  • Patent number: 11975175
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining fluid administration. The system may determine fluid administration based on the fluid responsiveness and regional oxygen saturation of a subject. The system may receive the fluid responsiveness and regional oxygen saturation from external sources or may determine one or both based on received physiological signals. In some embodiments, the system may determine whether to administer fluid based on the fluid responsiveness and regional oxygen saturation. In some embodiments, the system may determine the amount of fluid to administer based on the fluid responsiveness and regional oxygen saturation. In some embodiments, the system may determine the effectiveness of fluid administration. In some embodiments, the system may provide an indication of the determined fluid administration so that a care-giver can implement the appropriate fluid administration. In some embodiments, the system may control the fluid administration based on its determination.

  • Patent number: 8835457
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to synthetic bridged bicyclic compounds that are inhibitors of rho-associated protein kinase. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The invention is additionally directed to a method of preventing or treating diseases or conditions associated with cytoskeletal reorganization. The method comprises administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a Rho kinase inhibitory compound of Formula I, wherein said amount is effective to influence the actomyosin interactions, for example, by leading to cellular relaxation and alterations in cell-substratum adhesions. In one embodiment, the method treats increased intraocular pressure, such as primary open-angle glaucoma.
