摘要:
The invention provides a formulation for treating stress and lessening fatigue. The formulation can be combined with water or another suitable liquid to provide a beverage for ease of administration. The formulation can include one or more of an energy compound, a vasodilator, a vasodilator adjuvant, and an antioxidant enhancer. In a typical formulation the energy compound is D-ribose or guanosine. The formulation can improve energy and alertness, and reduce the effects of stress and fatigue.

Low doses of D-ribose raise the level of fitness and lower the perception of fatigue in baby boomers aged 45-65 who perceive themselves as fatigued. The doses range from 0.100 grams to 3.0 grams, bid, for a total of 0.200 to 6.0 grams daily. Objective measures of cardiopulmonary parameters confirm the improvement of fitness and questionnaires confirm that quality of life and mental states are improved with D-ribose administration.

摘要:
This invention is a method of improving the function of the pulmonary arm of the cardiac-pulmonary axis by the administration of a pharmaceutical or nutritional supplement to a patient in which the function of the pulmonary arm is suboptimal, but not as a sequella of dysfunction of the cardiac arm. The exemplar patient is one suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The preferred pentose is D-ribose, to be administered chronically.
摘要:
A method of pattern recognition for classifying the functional status of patients with chronic disease comprising characterizing the functional status based on a multivariable index (MVI) scoring system wherein the MVI is computed by summing a plurality of individual variable values as individual variable indexes (IVI) and dividing the sum by the number of variables and wherein the plurality of IVI includes rest PetCO2, ΔPetCO2, SaO2, QUES, Ve/VCO2 slope and Pcap and wherein each IVI is given an equivalent value of =4.00, the number increasing with increasing severity yielding an MVI value ranging from =4.00, normal to severe-very severe.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions comprising ribose and maleate for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome. The methods and compositions of the invention are especially useful for oral administration and are useful for alleviating the symptoms of pain, fatigue, and irritable bowel syndrome in fibromyalgia syndrome.
摘要:
A rate responsive pacemaker senses an instantaneous metabolic indicative parameter such as minute volume and monitors this parameter over an extended time period of 30 days. A corresponding cumulative rate control parameter is generated. The cumulative rate parameter is converted into a metabolic pulsing rate for generating pulses in accordance with a set of physical activity parameters.
摘要:
A method employing pattern recognition techniques for identifying the functional status of patients with Pulmonary Hypertension is described. This method describes a process by which sets of cardiopulmonary exercise gas exchange variables are measured during rest, exercise and recovery and stored as unique data sets. The data sets are then analyzed by a series of feature extraction steps, yielding a multi-parametric index (MPIPH) which reflects the current functional status of a patient. The method also employs a description scheme that provides a graphical image that juxtaposes the measured value of MPI to a reference classification system. An additional description scheme provides a trend plot of MPI values measured on a patient over time to provide feedback to the physician on the efficacy of therapy provided to the patient. The method will enable physicians to gather, view, and track complicated data using well-understood visualization techniques to better understand the consequences of their therapeutic actions.
摘要:
According to the invention, a system for monitoring health information of a plurality of patients is disclosed. Included in the system are a data gathering device, a node, a wide area network, and a monitoring center. The data gathering device includes a respiration sensor, a wireless transmitter, and a self-contained power source. The node is wirelessly coupled to the data gathering device and the wide area network is coupled to the node. Located remote to the node, the monitoring center is coupled to the wide area network.

A method of data management for optimizing the patient outcome from the provision of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is described. A regression equation is constructed using 3 data points on a plot of AV delay vs. HR. The x-axis consist of the three points consist of resting HR, HR at the optimal AV delay value during light exercise, and the upper tracking or paced HR. The y-values associated with the three points consist of the AV delay values computed using an equation for ventricular filling time and the optimally determined AV delay value. Also described is a process for determining the sensed to paced AV delay offset. The combined processes yield 4 (the three constant values in the polynomial regression equation Y=b2X2+b1X+a and the sensed to paced AV delay offset) which can be stored on the patient's pacemaker for determining dynamically the AV delay value which is physiologically fine-tuned for each patient from resting HR to the upper tracking or paced HR. In combination with visual observation and computer-assisted ranking of the dependent variables, a physician can utilize the resulting information to render decisions on the optimal choice of the programming biventricular pacemakers/ICDs and DDDR pacemakers for individual patients.
