  • Peptides and method for treatment of cardiac arrest
    Patent number: 11260105
    Abstract: Modified peptides based on C-terminal PDZ binding domains of PTEN and PHLPP, or PDK1 interacting fragment of PKN2 are described as are methods of using the modified peptides for blocking the activity of PTEN, PHLPP and PKN2 and treating sudden cardiac arrest. A method for guiding treatment of cardiac arrest based on sorbitol or taurine levels is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2022
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois
    Inventors: Terry Vanden Hoek, Xiangdong Zhu, Jing Li

  • METHOD FOR INDUCING HYPOTHERMIA
    Publication number: 20090125087
    Abstract: Systems for phase-change particulate slurry cooling equipment and methods to induce hypothermia in a patient through internal and external cooling are provided. Subcutaneous, intravascular, intraperitoneal, gastrointestinal, and lung methods of cooling are carried out using saline ice slurries or other phase-change slurries compatible with human tissue. Perfluorocarbon slurries or other slurry types compatible with human tissue are used for pulmonary cooling. And traditional external cooling methods are improved by utilizing phase-change slurry materials in cooling caps and torso blankets.
