摘要:
The present invention includes systems and methods for monitoring endogenous compound concentration in blood by detecting markers, such as odors, upon exhalation by a patient, wherein such markers are the endogenous compound itself or result from the endogenous compound. In the case of olfactory markers, the invention preferably utilizes electronic sensor technology, such as the commercial devices referred to as 'artificial' or 'electronic' noses or tongues, to non-invasively monitor endogenous compound level s in blood. The invention further includes a reporting system capable of tracking endogenous compound concentrations in blood (remote or proximate locations) and providing the necessary alerts with regard to emergent or harmful conditions in a patient.

A system for adjusting blood glucose level including an insulin delivery device configured to release insulin into the body of a person, and an EEG monitor having an EEG sensing part including EEG electrodes. The EEG monitor can be arranged in the ear region of the person with the EEG sensing part arranged subcutaneously at the scalp or arranged in the ear canal. The EEG monitor includes an EEG signal processor arranged at the ear and adapted for identifying onset of hypoglycemia. The system further includes a wireless link between the EEG monitor and the insulin delivery device. The EEG monitor is configured to submit a warning signal to the insulin delivery device if an upcoming onset of hypoglycemia is identified. The warning message will cause the insulin delivery device to restrict insulin delivery for a predetermined time, and a warning is provided to the person or to a caregiver.
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for treating an individual suffering from cardiac or circulatory arrest or from a stroke, comprising blood withdrawal means (BE) that can be applied to the individual (P), an analysis unit (BA) directly or indirectly connected to the blood withdrawal means for detecting and providing, in the form of a blood analysis result (BAE), at least one characteristic of the blood, directly or indirectly connected to a return means (BR) that can be applied to the individual (P) and is designed to deliver a substance to the individual via the return means (BR).
摘要:
Some embodiments a glucagon administration system can provide a suggested glucagon dosage based on one or more particular parameters (e.g., the user's recent blood glucose characteristics, a glucagon sensitivity value of the user, and other parameters). In some circumstances, the glucagon administration system can receive information indicative of the user's blood glucose level and suggest a glucagon dosage that is at least partially dependent upon a previously stored glucagon sensitivity for the user.

In one aspect, the invention provides injectable compositions that comprise a suitable hydrophilic polymer (e.g., a suitable polysaccharide) and water, as well as other optional components. In various embodiments, the composition may be provided in a suitable container, for example, in a pre-loaded syringe. In another aspect, methods of performing medical procedures in a tract of a body are provided. In yet another aspect, the invention provides systems for performing medical procedures in a tract of a body.
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for treating an individual suffering from cardiac or circulatory arrest or from a stroke, comprising blood withdrawal means (BE) that can be applied to the individual (P) for taking at least some of the individual's blood, an analysis unit (BA) directly or indirectly connected to the blood withdrawal means for detecting and providing in the form of a blood analysis result (BAE) at least one characteristic of the blood, an operative unit (KE) directly or indirectly connected to a return means (BR) that can be applied to the individual (P) and is designed to deliver a substance to the individual via the return means (BR). The invention is characterised in that the operative unit (KE) comprises at least one reservoir unit (R) storing supplies of at least two substances (S 1 , S 2 ,...), a dosage unit (D) combined with the reservoir unit (R) is provided, which dosage unit, at least taking into consideration a blood analysis result (BAE) determined by means of the analysis unit (BA), selects from the at least two substances (S 1 , S 2 ,...) at least one substance or produces a mixture of at least two of the substances (S 1 , S 2 ,...), and the at least one selected substance or the mixture can be introduced into the individual directly or indirectly via the return means (BR).

摘要:
A process and apparatus are provided for managing and adjusting glucose levels in the blood of a patient during dialysis. The apparatus is a dialysis apparatus to treat patients with renal disease which includes a glucose scavenger to remove excess glucose from the blood before returning the blood to the patient and/or a device to increase blood glucose levels in the blood when the glucose level is below a threshold level. The glucose scavenger can include a glucose binding protein, boronic acid derivative, boronic ester derivative or mixture thereof bonded to the surface of a support such as a fiber bundle in a cartridge or the inner surface of tubing used in the apparatus.
