Methods Of And Systems And Devices For Assessing Intracranial Pressure Non-Invasively
A non-invasive method and system for assessing intraocular pressure (ICP) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of measuring venous outflow pressure (VOP) using a venous ophthalmodynamometer device (vODM); measuring ophthalmic r central retinal arterial blood flow using color Doppler imaging device; and then estimating ICP using venous outflow data from the vODM and pulsatility and/or resistivity relationships derived from the Doppler imaging data. Further disclosed is a novel vODM for measuring VOP in low flow veins.

- Waltham MA, US Henry W. Querfurth - Wellesley MA, US
International Classification:
A61K 31/192 A61K 31/405 A61P 25/28
Abstract:
Provided are compositions and methods useful for sensitizing a neuron to insulin or insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), wherein the neuron is resistant to either insulin or IGF-1. Also provided are compositions and method useful for inhibiting intracellular beta amyloid peptide Aβ42-mediated decrease in neuronal viability. Also provided are compositions and methods useful for improving synaptic plasticity. Also provided are compositions and methods useful for improving learning and memory. In certain embodiments, the composition comprises (Z)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpent-2-enoic acid (PS48). In certain embodiments, the method comprises contacting a neuron with PS48. In certain embodiments, the method comprises administering an effective amount of PS48 to a subject in need thereof.
