Publication number: 20220252609Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for predicting time-to-delivery in pregnant women. The methods include predicting that a pregnant woman will deliver within a predetermined time frame if PAMG-1 is determined to be present at a level above a predetermined detection threshold in a vaginal fluid sample obtained from the pregnant woman. Also provided are methods for determining a patient's risk of preterm labor and/or spontaneous rupture of the chorioamniotic membrane.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Anthony Ausiello, Ruben Salinas, Michael Thompson, Daniel J. Mackey, Kaitlyn Nardozzi, Michael Friedman

Patent number: 10935555Abstract: A method of determining suitability of a pregnant woman to be a candidate for induction of labor can include: obtaining a vaginal fluid sample from a pregnant woman; contacting the vaginal fluid sample with a PAMG-1 antibody that binds with PAMG-1; detecting whether the PAMG-1 antibody binds with PAMG-1 in the vaginal fluid sample to form a PAMG-1-antibody complex; and providing the determination of suitability for induction of labor to the pregnant woman. When the PAMG-1-antibody complex forms, the pregnant woman is determined to be in a condition that is not suitable for induction of labor because PAMG-1 is detected in the vaginal sample. When the PAMG-1-antibody complex does not form, the pregnant woman is determined to be in a condition that is suitable to be a candidate for induction of labor because the PAMG-1 is not detected in the vaginal sample.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Qiagen Sciences, LLCInventors: Ruben Salinas, Anthony Ausiello

Patent number: 10656164Abstract: A method of determining risk of preterm labor in an asymptomatic pregnant woman can include: obtaining a vaginal fluid sample from an asymptomatic pregnant woman; contacting the vaginal fluid sample with a PAMG-1 antibody that binds with PAMG-1; detecting whether the PAMG-1 antibody binds with PAMG-1 in the vaginal fluid sample to form a PAMG-1-antibody complex; and providing the determined risk to the pregnant woman. When the PAMG-1-antibody complex forms, the asymptomatic pregnant woman is determined to be susceptible to preterm labor because PAMG-1 is detected in the vaginal sample. When the PAMG-1-antibody complex does not form, the asymptomatic pregnant woman is determined to be not susceptible to preterm labor because the PAMG-1 is not detected in the vaginal sample.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Qiagen Sciences, LLCInventors: Ruben Salinas, Anthony Ausiello

Patent number: 10195791Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide reinforcements for inflatable device assemblies. Specific embodiments provide a welded reinforcement for crotch areas of inflatable devices. Particular benefits may be achieved when the areas to be reinforced with the reinforcement system described are non-linear, defining a geometry with at least one curve or angle. Specific aspects of the reinforcement system provide one or more precut gusset elements that are configured to be secured with respect to a crotch area of a base substrate and welded.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Air Cruisers Company, LLCInventors: Joseph D. Reeves, Jr., Enrique Soto Delgado, Ruben Salinas, Adrian Marquez, Haithum Salem
