137 results about "Pathophysiology" patented technology

Pathophysiology (a.k.a. physiopathology) – a convergence of pathology with physiology – is the study of the disordered physiological processes that cause, result from, or are otherwise associated with a disease or injury. Pathology is the medical discipline that describes conditions typically observed during a disease state, whereas physiology is the biological discipline that describes processes or mechanisms operating within an organism. Pathology describes the abnormal or undesired condition, whereas pathophysiology seeks to explain the functional changes that are occurring within an individual due to a disease or pathologic state.

A new relevant non-human animal model of progressive metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and atherosclerosis development

PCT designated stage expiredWO2024261097A1Nuclear receptorAnimal husbandryFibrosisHigh fat
Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non- alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease with a worldwide prevalence estimated at 30% of the general population. To better understand the influence of MASLD progression on cardiovascular disease, the aim of the study was to develop a new physiopathological mouse model able to develop progressive MASLD, along with atherosclerosis development, in a reasonable period of time. LDLr - / - mice were crossed with PPARα-deficient mice in order to obtain LDLr- / - mice expressing (LDLr - / - PPARα + / +) or not (LDLr - / - PPARα - / -) PPARα. Female mice were challenged with a high-fat diet during 12 and 18 weeks. Histological liver analysis showed that, compared to control diet, LDLr - / - PPARα + / + mice under high fat diet developed mostly steatosis at 12 weeks, and then exhibited all characteristics of human MASLD, namely the steatosis, inflammation and ballooning-triad, with presence of fibrosis at 18 weeks. This MASLD progression over time in LDLr - / - PPARα + / + was aggravated in LDLr - / - PPARα + / + mice. The present invenion defines a new relevant mouse model of progressive MASLD, developing all the characteristics of human MASLD (steatosis, inflammation, ballooning, fibrosis), in a relatively short time period (12-18 weeks), along with simultaneous atherosclerosis development.

Assays and methods of use of those assays in the care and diagnosis of stroke patients

Extracellular vesicles and / or exosomes (EVs) remain sparsely studied in hemorrhagic transformations, including stroke and intracranial hemorrhages and could provide key insights into stroke pathophysiology. We assessed plasma levels of neuron-derived EVs (NDEs), astrocyte-derived EVs (ADEs), and oligodendrocyte-derived EVs (ODEs) in 58 patients 5, 15, and 30 days post-ischemic stroke along with 46 matched controls using sandwich immunoassays. Hemorrhagic transformation was a better predictor of ADE levels than lesion volume in linear regression models. These findings suggest that ADE levels are preferentially increased over the first month post-stroke compared to EVs from other neural cell types. ADEs may be of additional interest as biomarkers of blood-brain barrier breakdown to predict hemorrhagic transformation at earlier time points after stroke.

Gradient optimized radial treatment (GORT)

The present invention relates to the field of medical therapy of lesions detrimental to a body. The system is capable of treatment with a non-invasive, ionizing kV energy radiation source. Locally focused energy can be used to definitively treat, or as an adjuvant to enhance immune modulators, to eliminate tumors. Distributed external beam entry points produce a significant advantageous dose profile at depth as intersecting beams accumulate in a narrow focus to treat a selected volume. Targeted disease may have enhanced sensitivity to the radiation by taking up an ionizing-radiation, treatment-localizing agent. This increases the effectiveness of an energy dose in the lesion. The pattern of beam output is effectively directed towards a desired location and kV x-rays traveling towards undesired locations, such as healthy tissue, are quenched. Targeting a lesion within the body with volumetrically discrete energy dose deposition can beneficially impact harmful lesions. Aiming the beam at a pathologic target is done while moving an x-ray source mechanically around a patient to distribute surface dose. The purpose of the focused energy deposition is to destroy and disable pathologic physiology, such as malignant masses. More specifically this invention relates to a system, which optimizes delivery of ionizing kV beams to a lesion alone or one containing treatment-localizing agents in higher concentration than the surrounding normal tissues. Thereby an optimal delivery of ionizing radiation becomes more destructive to a mass of abnormal cells upon interaction with the targeted site.

Dhodh inhibitors for use in the chronopharmacoligical treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related metabolic disorders

PCT designated stageWO2025202415A1Organic active ingredientsMetabolism disorderPhysiologyMetabolic adaptation
Targeting mitochondrial function is a strategy for preventing metabolic disorders, but restoring mitochondria diurnal regulation remains to be explored. Using targeted metabolomics, we identified 24-hour mitochondrial rhythms promoted by nocturnal time-restricted feeding (TRF) in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Preceding its metabolic benefits, TRF promoted mitochondrial daily rhythms by converging on the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), which coordinates pyrimidine biosynthesis and mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. The inhibition of DHODH activity by the short half-life inhibitor BAY-2402234 modulated mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, thereby preventing diet-induced obesity, but only when injected at the transition between night and day. This timed inhibition of DHODH promoted oscillations in mitochondrial metabolic pathways and oscillations in the CoQ / CoQH2 ratio, improving metabolic adaptation to the HFD challenge. Our results highlight the role of mitochondrial daily rhythms in the pathophysiology of obesity and open avenues for chronopharmacological treatments targeting these rhythms. Thus, the present invention pertains to a method for treating or preventing obesity in a subject in need thereof. This method includes administering to the subject, at a specific time of the circadian rhythm, a therapeutically effective amount of a dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitor that exhibits an inhibitory duration of less than 24 hours, and more specifically, a short half-life of less than 24 hours.

TRPV1 is an integral cation channel widely expressed in various tissues and involved in critical biological functions, such as thermosensation. It is polymodally activated by distinct stimuli, including chemical ligands, heat, and protons (pH). However, dozens of clinical trials targeting various types of TRPV1 -mediated pain have generally failed, primarily due to hyperthermia (increased body temperature). Meta-analysis of clinical data suggests that mode-selectivity is essential to realizing the therapeutic potential of TRPV1. TRPV1 is regulated allosterically, with vanilloids and other chemical ligands binding to the voltage-sensing-like domain (VSLD), resulting in the gating of the pore domain. Therefore, compositions and methods for modulating TRPV1 to treat human pathophysiologies, such as pain, are described herein.

Postoperative intestinal dysfunction state recognition method and system based on intestinal stimulation feedback

This application relates to the field of biomedical signal processing and discloses a method for identifying postoperative intestinal dysfunction based on intestinal stimulation feedback, comprising the following steps: S1. A linear frequency modulated (LFM) scanning signal is emitted to the abdomen of the subject, and the mechanical vibration response signal of the abdominal medium to the LFM scanning signal is acquired. The dominant mechanical response frequency characterizing the abdominal medium in the current state is calculated and determined based on the LFM scanning signal and the mechanical vibration response signal. The dominant mechanical response frequency of the intestinal tissue is locked by baseline scanning, and resonant micro-perturbation is implemented at this frequency. The stress response of the intestine is captured synchronously using a dual-modal sensor of mechanical and electrophysiological sensors. By calculating the two-dimensional feature vector composed of the phase-locked value and the dynamic mechanical input impedance, the system can accurately distinguish between a simple decrease in electrical activity and a high-tension state caused by obstruction, thereby providing clinicians with a deeper pathophysiological diagnostic basis.
