Patent number: 12201602Abstract: Described is a combination of a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for glaucoma or ocular hypertension, which is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By combining sepetaprost and a Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase inhibitor(s), an intraocular pressure lowering action is enhanced as compared with the case where each drug is used alone. As the form of administration, they may be administered concomitantly or may be administered as a combination drug.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: SANTEN PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuko Yamamoto, Takazumi Taniguchi

Publication number: 20230285411Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to identify a drug formulation for the treatment or prevention of glaucoma or ocular hypertension, wherein the drug formulation exhibits an effect in patients with drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Sepetaprost is expected to exhibit an excellent intraocular pressure-lowering action in patients with otherwise drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The drug formulation according to the present invention containing sepetaprost as an active ingredient is therefore useful as a drug formulation that can treat or prevent glaucoma or ocular hypertension in patients with otherwise drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2021Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: SANTEN PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuko YAMAMOTO, Takazumi TANIGUCHI, Atsushi SHIMAZAKI, Erika KIMURA

Publication number: 20170016221Abstract: An objective would be to propose a toilet seat apparatus capable of detecting accurately various motions of a human body such as entering and leaving a restroom, sitting on and rising from a toilet seat. A human body detector (5) includes a frequency analyzer (52c), a recognizer (52e), and a database device (52i) storing sample data. The frequency analyzer (52c) converts a sensor signal into a frequency domain signal, and extracts signals of individual filter banks with different frequency bands. The recognizer (52e) has functions of detecting a human body entering a space where at least a toilet bowl (11) is installed and a human body of a person sitting on a toilet seat (12b) based on comparison between the sample data and detection data containing a frequency distribution of signals based on the signals of the individual filter banks (5a).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2014Publication date: January 19, 2017Applicant: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuko YAMAMOTO, Satoshi SUGINO
