    摘要: The present invention is directed to a colonic composition including a core having at least one short chain fatty acid selected from the group consisting of butyrate, acetate and propionate, and combinations thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof; wherein at least one of acetate or propionate is present in the core; and at least one digestion-resistant layer covering the core, the digestion-resistant layer disintegrating in the colon. The present invention is also directed to methods of treatment using the above composition.

    摘要: Embodiments include methods and systems for maintaining glucose homeostasis. Systems can include a pump, a first reservoir including a homeostasis agent, an umbilical catheter capable of being advanced in the umbilical vein or in the falciform ligament, and a sensor. Systems can also include a biocompatible coating, a microprocessor in communication with the pump and the sensor, and a power supply. Methods can include implanting a pump and reservoir subcutaneously in a patient, advancing a catheter in the umbilical vein or in the falciform ligament, measuring a blood glucose level, pumping a homeostasis agent, and administering the homeostasis agent to the portal venous system.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of stimulating a cornea. A non-limiting example of the method includes capturing a sound with a microphone. A non-limiting example of the method also includes transducing the sound to an electric signal by a microprocessor. A non-limiting example of the method also includes stimulating a piezo-electric element adjacent to a receptor of the cornea, wherein the piezo-electric element is positioned on an eye lens with an electric signal. A non-limiting example of the method also includes mechanically stimulating a receptor of the cornea with the stimulated piezo-electric element.

    摘要: Low-cost techniques for sensing ambient temperatures in a container or package using phase change materials are provided. In one aspect, a temperature sensor is provided. The temperature sensor includes: at least one phase change material configured to transition from an amorphous state to a crystalline state upon exposure to temperatures above a predetermined threshold temperature for a given duration. A method of monitoring temperature exposure of a consumer good using the temperature sensor is also provided.
