  • Patent number: 11594311
    Abstract: Health care information for multiple patients is processed to classify patients into categories. Additional data fields related to a category in which a patient is classified are added to the patient record. These data fields are populated in part by automatically processing the existing patient data. Such automatic processing can result in a probability that the underlying data supports having a particular value stored in one of the added data fields, and this probability also can be stored. Over time, additional data can be obtained from patients, caregivers and other sources, for structured data fields based on data entry forms for patient reported outcomes, caregiver reported outcomes, events of interest, survival and resource utilization. A set of factor scores is computed for each patient, for each category in which the patient is classified.

  • Patent number: 10792268
    Abstract: The ketogenic diet (KD) has therapeutic implications in many disease states. It was hypothesized ketone precursor supplementation would elevate blood ketone levels to therapeutic ranges (2-7 mM) without need for dietary restriction. The effects of ketogenic agents were tested on blood glucose, ketones, and lipids with a 28-day dose escalation study in male Sprague-Dawley rats: R,S-1,3-Butandiol (BD), acetoacetate ketone ester (KE), and control (H2O) (n?8). Days 1-28, rats received a daily 5 g/kg intragastric gavage, based on previous toxicology studies. Once weekly, whole blood samples (10 ?l) were acquired for analysis of glucose and ?HB at 0, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, and 12 hours after test substance administration, or until ?HB returned to baseline. At day 1 and 28, 10 ?L of whole blood were collected to measure triglycerides, total cholesterol, and HDL concentration. Significant elevation of blood ketone was observed with a significant inverse relationship with blood glucose for the duration of the experiment.

  • Patent number: 9334229
    Abstract: Hydroxytyrosol derivative compositions, methods for their manufacture, and their use in personal care products are disclosed. Lipophilic hydroxytyrosol carbonate ester compound can be made by oxidizing a substituted hydroxybenzaldehyde compound with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide under mild conditions. The process involves enzymatic esterification of 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenol to form the corresponding ester, the introduction of a formyl group ortho to the phenolic hydroxyl group of the ester to form a lipophilic formyltyrosol ester; oxidation of the lipophilic formyltyrosol ester with a peroxide compound to form a lipophilic hydroxytyrosol ester compound; and reaction of lipophilic hydroxytyrosol ester compound with carbonic acid ester derivatives to form a lipophilic hydroxytyrosol carbonic ester compound. These compounds are useful is a wide variety of personal care compositions as anti-aging compounds that are stable against oxidation.
