International Classification:

G06K 9/00
A01K 43/00

US Classification:

382100, 382274, 356 66

Abstract:

A system for capturing and analyzing images of body features to identify treatments has a base unit with a processor and a display and an image management software component for presenting on the display a user interface to prompt a user to capture images in preselected locations on a body and to receive captured image data. The system has at least two light sources under control of the user interface that provide light following first and second light paths from the respective light sources to the plane of an imaging station, each light path having a significant portion of its light on the plane of the imaging station at a grazing angle of about ten to about thirty degrees. The first and second light paths when projected onto the plane of the imaging station intersect at an angle of at least sixty degrees. An image sensor receives light from the light sources that is reflected from the surface of a body feature located at the imaging station and produces pixel image data representing the body feature. A rating software component receives the pixel image data from the image sensor and is configured to mimic the judgment of a dermatologist to provide a rating vector representing the condition of three or more attributes of the body feature represented by the pixel image data.

Filed:

Feb 2, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/049585

Inventors:

Dale Kern - Hyde Park UT, US

International Classification:

A61K035/78

US Classification:

424753000

Abstract:

Methods for the prevention or treatment of disorders and complications of disorders resulting from cell damage caused by an aging-related isoform of NADH oxidase (arNOX) are described. The agent for such inhibition comprises processed various extracts, preferably IBR-DORMIN, both alone and in combination with other inhibition agents, including ubiquinones like coenzyme Q. These agents bind arNOX and inhibit the ability of arNOX to generate reactive oxygen species, thereby decreasing the ability of arNOX to generate reactive oxygen species. Such agents, and their methods of administration, as extremely effective as part of anti-aging treatments.

Inventors:

Dale Kern - Hyde Park UT, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/30

US Classification:

604020000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods and systems for application of a substance and an electrical current to a biological tissue or surface. In one embodiment, the methods and systems include application of a substance and an electrical current to the surface or tissue such that the transport or absorption of the substance into the surface or tissue is enhanced for a period of time after the electrical current has been removed.

Abstract:

The invention relates to agents for sequestering serum aging factors, and methods for using the same. More particularly, the invention relates to agents termed herein “Naractin” to denote any one of several naturally-occurring arNOX inhibitors either present in powder or capable of augmenting powder to an inhibitory level comparable to that of the fresh extracts, and to methods for using “Naractins” to prevent or treat disorders and complications of disorders resulting from cell damage caused by an aging-related isoform of NADH oxidase (arNOX). In one exemplary embodiment the agents of the invention comprise at least one naturally occurring Naractin. Such naturally occurring naractins are also capable of augmenting the anti-arNOX effect of other naturally occurring arNOX inhibitory agents.
