  • Patent number: 11996173
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method to timely provide notifications of treatments, the method including receiving de-identified longitudinal medical records, each de-identified longitudinal medical record representing a record of a different anonymized patient and encoding information identifying a treatment received by the anonymized patient and receiving notification data including notification records, each notification record encoding information identifying a channel through which the notification was provided. The method includes determining a first channel impact model representing an impact of a notification provided through a first channel on a treatment being received, a second channel impact model representing an impact of a notification provided through a second channel on a treatment being received, and determining a multi-channel impact model representing an impact of notifications being provided through both the first channel and the second channel on a treatment being received.

  • Patent number: 11940848
    Abstract: An electronic device display may have pixels formed from crystalline semiconductor light-emitting diode dies, organic light-emitting diodes, or other pixel structures. The pixels may be formed on a display panel substrate. A display panel may extend continuously across the display or multiple display panels may be tiled in two dimensions to cover a larger display area. Interconnect substrates may have outwardly facing contacts that are electrically shorted to corresponding inwardly facing contacts such as inwardly facing metal pillars associated with the display panels. The interconnect substrates may be supported by glass layers. Integrated circuits may be embedded in the display panels and/or in the interconnect substrates. A display may have an active area with pixels that includes non-spline pixels in a non-spline display portion located above a straight edge of the display and spline pixel in a spline display portion located above a curved edge of the display.

  • Publication number: 20240074416
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the engineering an animal model, preferably mammalian models, more preferably a rat model representing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2A (CMT2A) harboring the p.Arg364Trp or p.His361Tyr Mfn2 mutation, whose human counterpart results in a severe, early-onset axonal neuropathy. A model having the p.Arg364Trp Mfn2 mutation is based on a mutation made using zinc finger endonuclease technology in fertilized rat eggs. Cohorts of mutants and wild type littermates were characterized behaviorally and shown to develop multiple motor deficits that worsened over time. Separate cohorts of mutant and wild type rats sacrificed at 7, 40, and 48 weeks and analyzed by light microscopy showed a reduced density of myelinated axons and active axonal degeneration in distal but not proximal nerves, as well as axonal degeneration in the fasciculus gracilis of the cervical spinal cord at 40 and 48 weeks.

  • Publication number: 20230334251
    Abstract: A system for condensing user communications relating to a topic is provided. The system may include a processor and a non-transitory memory. The processor may: designate a topic of user interest; retrieve legacy communications; and remove duplicative communications. The processor may form a topic-centric training set for a neural network. The topic-centric training set may be based on the legacy communications, legacy intelligence, and the plurality of outcomes and may be delimited by an analysis of the database. The processor may synthesize the neural network using the topic-centric training set in order to assign individual weights to each of a plurality of nodes in the neural network. In response to a selection of the topic of user interest, the processor may generate a plurality of user options based on the neural network. The system may include a display in order to prompt the user to select one of the options.

  • Patent number: RE49853
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method to timely provide notifications of treatments, the method including receiving de-identified longitudinal medical records, receiving notification data, identifying anonymized patients that received the treatment, identifying notifications for the treatment that were received by the recipients, determining, for each of the identified notifications, whether the recipient is an anonymized patient identified as having received the treatment, determining, for each of the identified notifications for the treatment determined to be received by a recipient that is an anonymized patient identified as having received the treatment, a time relationship between the time when the treatment was received by the anonymized patient and the time that the notification was received by the recipient that is the anonymized patient, and determining, for each of the anonymized patients that received the treatment, associations between one or more time relationships for notifications received by the anonymiz
