  • Publication number: 20190142682
    Abstract: A trunk supporting exoskeleton comprises: a supporting trunk; thigh links configured to move in unison with a wearer's thighs; and first and second torque generators located on both left and right halves of the wearer substantially close to the wearer's hip. The torque generators couple the supporting trunk to the thigh links, and generate torque between the thigh links and the supporting trunk. When the wearer bends forward such that a predetermined portion of the supporting trunk passes beyond a predetermined angle from vertical, a torque generator(s) imposes a resisting torque between the supporting trunk and the thigh link(s), causing the supporting trunk to impose a force against the wearer's trunk, and the thigh link(s) to impose a force onto the wearer's thigh. When the predetermined portion does not pass beyond the predetermined angle, the torque generators impose no resisting torques between said supporting trunk and respective thigh links.

    Abstract: A fall prevention device configured to be coupled to a person and comprising a mechanical torso configured to be coupled to the person's torso and a mechanical structure configurable to be coupled to the mechanical torso from its first end. The mechanical structure and mechanical torso resist forces at least along one direction to maintain their posture relative to each other. In operation the second end of the mechanical structure is positioned behind the person and substantially close to the ground. When the second end of the mechanical structure contacts the ground, contact points of legs of the person on the ground and contact points of the second end of the mechanical structure outline a multi-sided polygon on the ground. If the vertical projection of the center of gravity of the person to the ground intersects the ground within the multi-sided polygon, the person and fall prevention device remain stable.

  • Publication number: 20190142685
    Abstract: The present soft tissue mobilization device has a quick-release bar clamp and various attachments for its jaws that exert pressure on soft tissue to improve mobility. The bar clamp allows for applying sustained and incremental pressure at various angles. The shape of the attachment surfaces that contact the soft tissue are either complementary toward each other, when they are intended to squeeze the targeted soft tissue between them, or to the body structure against which they are intended to press. Combining a more helpful means of generating and exerting pressure with the right surface contours significantly improves the overall effectiveness of the device, diminishes any associated pain and discomfort, and reduces the time necessary to achieve results.

  • Publication number: 20190142722
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates, in certain embodiments, to compositions and methods for the inhibition of the Janus activated kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway, and particularly inhibition of oncostatin (e.g. oncostatin M (OSM)), colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), interleukin-34 (IL-34), and/or trichophages, in order to induce or promote hair growth. In certain embodiments, the presently disclosed subject matter relates to topical treatments with small molecule inhibitors of the JAK-STAT pathway, and particularly small molecule inhibitors of oncostatin, CSF1R, IL-34, and/or trichophages, to induce or promote hair growth. Some embodiments are directed to treating hair loss disorders using inhibitors of oncostatin, CSF1R, IL-34 and/or trichophages. Embodiments also describe kits including inhibitors of oncostatin, CSF1R, IL-34 and/or trichophages.

  • Publication number: 20190142724
    Abstract: The present invention provides new dental care products comprising self-assembling peptides that are capable of undergoing self-assembly at a certain pH for use in dental care, e.g. preventing and/or treating a tooth lesion such as a caries lesion, remineralising a tooth surface or increasing smoothness or shine, or for increasing hardness of a tooth surface. The present invention provides dental care products such as chewing gum, toffees or toothpaste, in which the peptides are present in monomeric form for a prolonged period after application into the oral cavity, thereby enabling non-targeted treatment of a plurality of teeth, independent of the diagnosis of an active lesion. Products of the invention are useful for animals and humans.

  • Publication number: 20190142725
    Abstract: Charged protein-polymer complexes that bind to human hair are formed by reacting Polyquaternium-6 with hydrolyzed wheat protein PG-propyl silanetriol. Methods of treating hair include delivering the complexes to the hair as a pre-treatment prior to applying a hair care product. Alternatively, the complexes may be incorporated into a hair care or makeup composition, such as a mascara, shampoo or conditioner for simultaneous application to the hair. Once deposited on the hair, the protein-polymer complex does not wash or rinse out after several attempts. The protein-polymer complexes have the effect of repairing and/or protecting the cuticles of the hair from damage associated with use of makeup or treatment products, treatment regimens and environmental aggressors. Some embodiments of the invention include polylysine and/or one or more film forming agents that further enhance the protein complex.
