  • Patent number: 11628165
    Abstract: Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute viral infection that can trigger complicated immune system responses depending on the host. This disclosure discloses immunotherapy methods combining immunomodulators and antivirals to prevent and to reduce the severity of a COVID-19 infection. Successful treatment of COVID-19 requires prevention, early recognition and detection, the ruling out of co-infections, serial laboratory monitoring, and clinical monitoring for worsening and timely treatments during the acute phase and post-viral syndrome. Using this disclosure as preventive, management and therapeutic options for COVID-19, infected patients can be more resilient to viral challenges, recovering faster with less organ damages and adverse residual effects.

  • Patent number: 10246819
    Abstract: A composition, method and kit for producing reversibly dyed soft contact lenses is disclosed. The contact lenses are submerged in saline solution and a dye is added to the saline solution, either directly or by means of a strip that has been impregnated with the dye. After a period of time, the lens absorbs the dye and can be removed from the solution and placed on the eye. Once the lens is illuminated with ultraviolet light, it will glow or fluoresce. An eye having the soft contact lens applied to a cornea thereof is examined under a luminescent radiation stored in the soft contact lens. The dyeing method does not utilize heat and thus is reversible. Soaking the lens in additional saline solution for a period of time will cause the dye to return to its non-dyed state. A stabilizing compound and a method of stabilization are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 9029413
    Abstract: Alterations of certain metabolite concentrations and fluxes that occur in response to viral infection are described. Host cell enzymes in the involved metabolic pathways are selected as targets for intervention; i.e., to restore metabolic flux to disadvantage viral replication, or to further derange metabolic flux resulting in “suicide” of viral-infected cells (but not uninfected cells) to limit viral propagation. While any of the enzymes in the relevant metabolic pathway can be selected, pivotal enzymes at key control points in these metabolic pathways are preferred as candidate antiviral drug targets. Inhibitors of these enzymes are used to reverse, or redirect, the effects of the viral infection. Drug candidates are tested for antiviral activity using screening assays in vitro and host cells, and in animal models. Animal models are then used to test efficacy of candidate compounds in preventing and treating viral infections. Antiviral activity of enzyme inhibitors is demonstrated.
