    摘要: An apparatus is disclosed for modifying a liquid enteral nutritional product during delivery thereof from a supply thereof, such as a hangable container, to a feeding tube delivering the liquid enteral nutritional product to the gastrointestinal tract of a patient. The apparatus has at least one formulation chamber, such as a drip chamber, with at least one controlled release dosage form unit in the form of a coated tablet, osmotically driven device, coated capsule, microencapsulated microspheres, agglomerated molecular sieving type material, or a quantity of fine hollow permeable fibers located therein. The controlled release dosage form unit or units contain at least one beneficial agent selected from nutrients, medicaments, probiotics, or diagnostic agents or mixtures thereof, to any of which a physiologically acceptable marker dye in controlled release dosage form and/or the same or different beneficial agent not in controlled release dosage form may be added. A liquid nutritional product flows through the formulation chamber during enteral tube feeding of a patient.

    摘要: An apparatus may be employed for determining the relaxation rate of a muscle which has been caused to contract in response to an electrical stimulus. The relaxation rate may be used in evaluating a person's nutritional status. The apparatus has support for supporting the forearm and wrist of a person in a palm-up position with the wrist extended. An electrical stimulus is applied to the person's ulnar nerve, and the force exerted upon a load cell by the person's thumb is measured. A computer is employed for receiving, storing, plotting and analyzing the force data collected by a transducer.

    摘要: Methods of treating an individual exhibiting a medical condition are disclosed. The methods involve determining a score of an individual based on the individual's genotypic information, comparing the score to at least one threshold value, wherein the result of the comparison is indicative of a beneficial response to a treatment, and providing a suitable treatment to the individual.

    摘要: In one aspect, the invention provides a method of screening and, optionally, treatment of an individual suffering from an insulin resistance disorder by screening an individual in need of treatment for an insulin resistance disorder for one or more genetic variations indicating a predisposition to a response to an insulin sensitizer; and, optionally, administering or not administering an insulin sensitizer to the individual based on the results of the screening. The insulin sensitizer for which the individual is screened and the insulin sensitizer that is administered or not administered may be the same or different. In another aspect, the invention provides methods comprising identifying one or more genetic variations, e.g., one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms, that at least partly differentiate between a subset of a plurality of individuals who experience a response when administered an insulin sensitizer, and a subset of said plurality of individuals who do not experience a response when administered the insulin sensitizer. The invention also provides nucleic acids, polypeptides, antibodies, kits, and business methods associated with these screening and association methods.
