摘要:
Methods for slowing disease progression in an individual suffering from familial ALS are provided. Also provided are methods of increasing the survival time of an individual suffering from familial ALS. These methods employ antisense oligonucleotides targeted to SOD1, for use in inhibiting the expression of SOD1 in the central nervous system of an individual suffering from familial ALS.

A glassbreak detector or motion detector includes circuitry responsive to an installation process. Data concerning the installation process can be automatically stored in non-volatile memory. The stored data can be retrieved as part of an after-installation review.
摘要:
A glassbreak detector first and second different audio transducers. One transducer is omnidirectional. The other is highly directional. Control circuitry processes signals from both transducers and determines if a glassbreakage profile is present.

Pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating neurological disorders by administering same are provided. The compositions comprise dextromethorphan in combination with quinidine.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for increasing the effectiveness of dextromethorphan in treating chronic or intractable pain, for treating tinnitus and for treating sexual dysfunction comprising administering dextromethorphan in combination with a therapeutically effective dosage of a debrisoquin hydroxylase inhibitor. A preferred combination is dextromethorphan and the oxidative inhibitor quinidine.
摘要:
A glass break detector can be tested using a smart phone and a downloaded test application. The recommended test procedure can be implemented by interacting with the phone and the executing application. The phone can emit a selected audio test signal to which the detector can respond. Advantageously, the installer does not need to read a test procedure from a manual and does not need to use a special test tool.
摘要:
A device that contemplates a unique and advantageous reduced size catheter tip measurement device. By using a bottom support member and a thin outer insulating layer, rather than a tubular metal casing, to support and isolate the electrical measurement sensor, the present invention drastically reduces feature size possible with current structures for catheter tip measurement devices. More specifically, the device contemplates a reduced size catheter tip pressure transducer device. The device includes a catheter body that has a support member attached to its distal tip. The support member has a support surface for a semiconductor pressures sensor that provides mechanical stability to the pressure sensor. The exposed electrical and metal areas of the device are insulated from surrounding tissues and fluids by an outer insulating layer, which is preferably a polyimide sleeve. Utilizing the device catheter tip pressure transducers may be constructed having approximately half the current volume size of prior devices. This drastic reduction is size allows for placement inside small diameter lumens of catheters, small diameter veins and arteries, or other small biological features that have up to now been too small for high-fidelity measurements by prior catheter tip pressure transducers.

A glassbreak detector includes first and second different audio transducers. The first transducer is omnidirectional. The second transducer is highly directional. Control circuitry processes signals from both of the first and second transducers and determines if a glassbreakage profile is present.
摘要:
An acoustic detector comprises an acoustic sensor for receiving an acoustic signal. The acoustic signal selectively comprises a test sound with an encoded pattern indicative of the select mode. A controller is operatively associated with the acoustic sensor for analyzing the received acoustic signal to determine if the encoded pattern is present, changing a mode of operation if the encoded pattern is present, and selectively adjusting the operation of the acoustic detector based upon the received acoustic signal if mode is changed.
