摘要:
The present invention provides a site specific way to enhance a natural hormonal response to nutrients entering the small intestine after gastric emptying, thereby providing therapeutic value for obesity or diabetic patients. In one aspect, the present invention provides methods of stimulating the release of satiety hormone in a subject comprising applying a first electrical stimulus to a tissue in the lumen of the gastrointestinal system of the subject contemporaneously with the contacting of L-cells of the tissue with a nutrient stimulus. The present invention also provides methods for predicting patient response to a weight loss surgery comprising applying a first electrical stimulus to a tissue of the gastrointestinal system of said patient contemporaneously with the contacting of L-cells of the tissue with a nutrient stimulus, assessing the effect of the electrical stimulus in said patient, and, correlating said effect to said patient's response to a weight loss surgery.

A multi-level kennel enclosure includes a structure formed by left and right side walls, top and bottom walls and back and front walls defining an interior. A shelf is mounted in the interior so as to divide the interior into an upper section defining a living section and a separate lower section including a toilet section. An opening in the shelf allows an animal in the interior to pass between the living section and the toilet section. The front wall includes a pivotable first door selectively movable from a closed position to an open position to provide access to the living section. The front wall further includes a pivotable second door selectively movable from a closed position to an open position to provide access to the toilet section. The front wall also includes a ventilation panel through which air can flow into the interior. A plurality of additional shelves divide the interior into a plurality of levels through which an animal can pass. The toilet section defines a space to accommodate a receptacle for holding waste deposited by the animal. A forced ventilation system including a ventilation passage vents unpleasant odors from the enclosure. A plurality of multi-level kennel enclosures can be arranged side by side with their ventilation passages in alignment to form a continuous ventilation duct.

A multi-burner high-pressure portable stove having independently regulated burners is provided. The stove is especially suitable for camping. The stove provides similar functionality as a typical kitchen range by allowing a user to efficiently control the amount of fuel utilized by each individual burner of the stove. The stove further allows the user to independently control varying flame amounts of each burner so as a user may select between, simmer, medium, high or anything in-between for each burner. The regulators have a dual-lead stem thread knob which allows for quick and easy adjustments. The regulators are safely secured within a housing of the stove. In an embodiment, the regulators may be located outside the housing of the stove.
