Abstract:
Methods of assessing the pathological and/or physiological state of a subject, methods of monitoring a subject with heart failure or a subject that has been diagnosed as having or being at risk of having a condition associated with dyspnea and/or fatigue, and methods of diagnosing a subject as having decompensated heart failure are provided. The methods comprise obtaining a voice recording from a word-reading test from the subject, wherein the voice recording is from a word-reading test comprising reading a sequence of words drawn from a set of n words and analysing the voice recording, or a portion thereof. The analysing can comprise identifying a plurality of segments of the voice recording that correspond to single words or syllables; determining the value of one or more metrics selected from the breathing %, unvoicing/voicing ratio, voice pitch and correct word rate at least in part based on the identified segments; and comparing the value of the one or more metrics with one or more respective reference values. Related systems and products are also described.
Abstract:
A method of enhancing positive effects of a psychedelic, by pretreating an individual with an antidepressant, administering a psychedelic to the individual, and inducing a more positive psychological state in the individual with the antidepressant-psychedelic combination compared with the psychedelic alone. A method of enhancing positive effects of a psychedelic, by inhibiting serotonin transport in an individual, increasing levels of endogenous monoamines in the individual, and stimulating 5-HT2A receptors in the individual. A composition including an antidepressant and a psychedelic in the same dosage form.
Abstract:
A method of inducing psychedelic states in an individual, by administering mescaline, a salt thereof, analogs thereof, or derivatives thereof to the individual, and inducing a psychedelic state in the individual. A method of therapy, by administering an intermediate “good effect dose” of mescaline, salt of mescaline, analogs thereof, or derivatives thereof to an individual, and inducing positive acute drug effects that are known to be associated with more positive long-term responses in psychiatric patients. A method of therapy, by administering an “ego-dissolution” dose of mescaline, a salt of mescaline, analogs thereof, or derivatives thereof to an individual, and providing the experience of ego-dissolution.

Abstract:
Injectable hydrogels comprising polysaccharides based on disaccharides the backbones of which form an α-helix structure and in which in at least 10% of the disaccharide units the primary hydroxyl groups are oxidized.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an artificial vascular graft comprising a primary scaffold structure encompassing an inner space of the artificial vascular graft, said primary scaffold structure having an inner surface facing towards said inner space and an outer surface facing away from said inner space, a coating on said inner surface, wherein a plurality of grooves is comprised in said coating of said inner surface. The primary scaffold structure comprises further a coating on said outer surface. The primary scaffold structure and the coating on said inner surface and on said outer surface are d designed in such a way that cells, in particular progenitor cells, can migrate from the periphery of said artificial vascular graft through said outer surface of said coating, said primary scaffold structure and said inner surface to said inner space, if the artificial vascular graft is used as intended. The invention relates further to a method for providing said graft.
Abstract:
A method of dosing LSD in treating patients, by assessing genetic characteristics in the patient by identifying polymorphisms of CYP2D6 before use of a composition chosen from the group consisting of LSD, analogs thereof, derivatives thereof, and salts thereof, administering the composition to the patient based on the patient genetics, wherein a 50% dose is administered in a patient with non-functional CYP2D6 compared to a dose in functional CYP2D6 individuals, and producing maximum positive subjective acute effects in the patient and/or reducing anxiety and negative effects. A method of determining a preferred dose of LSD.
Abstract:
