This invention relates to a low cost rapid response diagnostic system to determine cortisol levels in patients selected as potential candidates for GCR (glucocorticoid receptor) antagonist therapy utilizing a GCR antagonist, such as ORG 34517. The rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive test can be used to determine patients who have non-normal cortisol production or disordered circadian rhythms as a method for selecting subjects for GCR antagonist therapy for whom it is likely to have beneficial and / or therapeutic effects, and can also be used to monitor changes in cortisol levels in response to treatment.

A wearable treatment or therapy apparatus for provision of an acoustically enabled or acoustically enhanced treatment or therapy to a patient or treatment subject is provided. Also provided are apparatuses for delivering an acoustic or acoustically-aided therapy or treatment to a patient or treatment-subject.

Object of the present invention are new aza-tanshinone derivatives, a method for their preparation and their use in therapy, particularly, but not limited to, as anti-tumor agents and anti-inflammatories. The invention comprises also the pharmaceutical compositions containing them.

An electric therapy apparatus (1) of the invention comprises a voltage generating unit (14) for generating a predetermined voltage, a control unit (2) for varying the voltage generated by the voltage generating unit (14) and the output time of the voltage according to the 1 / f fluctuation cycle, potential therapy probes (27, 28) for applying the potential from the voltage generating section (14) to a therapy object. With this, it is prevented that the therapy object accustoms himself (herself) to the stimulation by the constant potential, it is possible to impart a relaxation feeling to the human body, and the therapy effect can be sustained.

The invention discloses an accurate human face acupuncture point locating and acupuncture and moxibustion prescription learning method. Partial human face characteristic analysis and a pattern and nerve identifying algorithm are utilized to determine all organs and the characteristic portions of the human face, a coordinate origin is determined, a virtual simulation face locating coordinate system is established, data information of different acupuncture experts to acupuncture point location is collected, acupuncture point data values with the best accuracy can be achieved through acupuncture location consistency information fusion algorithm, a knowledge base for face disease acupuncture points and acupuncture and moxibustion prescription can be established, and face disease acupuncture point location, acupuncture and mosibustion prescription learning and grade evaluation can be achieved in a virtual and simulated mode. Furthermore, automatic location can be carried out to a new treatment object. The accurate human face acupuncture point locating and acupuncture and moxibustion prescription learning method can improve acupuncture point location fusion error of the different acupuncture and moxibustion experts to the point-by-point variable accuracy, effectively combines the characteristics of the acupuncture point locating measurement values of the different experts and improves the utilizing efficiency of measurement information.
