    摘要: A method and device for interpreting and processing medical ultrasound and other video images. The mix of reflection coefficients in pixel windows is measured by determining the range and distribution of pixel gray scale values to establish "echoic texture" characteristics. These characteristics are compared with corresponding characteristics of known tissues. The degree of correlation allows a prediction of tissue characteristics of the examined window.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of treating NIDDM in a patient diagnosed with NIDDM by administering to the patient a compound in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that reduces hepatic glucose production in the patient by inhibiting hepatic expression of the alpha subunit of a G.sub.s protein in a liver cell plasma membrane, thereby inhibiting stimulation of cAMP by glucagon, whereby the reduction in hepatic glucose production treats the NIDDM. Also provided is a method for screening compounds for the ability to treat NIDDM comprising determining if the compound decreases hepatic expression of the alpha subunit of a G.sub.s protein in a liver cell plasma membrane, thereby inhibiting the stimulation of cAMP by glucagon, a compound which decreases the hepatic expression of the alpha subunit of the G.sub.s protein in the liver cell plasma membrane, thereby inhibiting the stimulation of cAMP by glucagon, being a compound with the ability to treat NIDDM. The present invention further provides a kit for treating NIDDM comprising a compound in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that decreases hepatic expression of the alpha subunit of the G.sub.s protein in the liver cell plasma membrane, thereby inhibiting stimulation of cAMP by glucagon.
