A non-invasive, removable intraoral electrical Stimulator or Pacemaker system and method is described, for electrically-stimulating and re-establishing the tone in the upper pharyngeal dilator muscle, the genioglossus and base-of-tongue muscles, for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in human adults and young adults. The Stimulator system consists of an intraoral Stimulator device assembly with a rechargeable battery, an external (inductive) Recharger appliance and an external hand-held (inductive) Programmer appliance. The Stimulator device assembly is inserted into the mouth by the OSA patient before sleep time and is removed when awake or during normal activity and placed in the charging cradle of the Recharger appliance for recharging the device battery. The physician uses the hand-held Programmer appliance to determine and set the patient-specific stimulation therapy parameters in the device, at the patient's initial evaluation. The stimulation therapy is delivered either in an open loop configuration without regard to patient's respiration activity, or in a closed loop configuration synchronized to the patient's respiration detected by one or more sensors in the system.

Provided herein are puzzles useful primarily by children, but also enjoyable by young adults and others. The puzzles of the invention permit a user to remove a piece of the puzzle from the overall construct, to reveal an image, the identity of which is customizable either by the user themselves, or by another person, which often may comprise a parent of the intended user. The images so revealed may thus be any image placed into the puzzle at the will of a person so capable, but are anticipated to often comprise images of the user's relations, including family members, famous persons, siblings and others. Additionally, geographical locations, images of outer space, images of famous persons, famous places, landmarks, pets, etc. are within the realm of potential images viewed. The instant puzzles are especially well suited to inspire learning in toddler-aged users, for stimulating cognizance of images, commensurate with provoking a physical response by the child. Although the present invention finds particular utility amongst enhancing the skills of special-needs children, it is well-suited to be enjoyed by children of all ages.

The present invention relates to the development of a pharmacological non-human animal model that associates memory loss to histopathological features found in the brain of a subject having Alzheimer's Disease.

The invention provides a method for processing all-germ naked oat. The method comprises the steps that impurities are removed, foreign grains in oat are removed through two times of color sorting, crude bran on the surface layers of the oat is removed through a peeling machine, secondary skin breaking and peeling are carried out on the oat through the peeling machine, and after screening, cooling, drying and weighing, the oat is packaged through aluminum foil vacuum bags. By means of the secondary peeling method, the peeling rate of the oat reaches up to about 30%, the cooking time of the deeply peeled oat is greatly shortened, the oat can be suitable for infants, young adults and the aged through oat braising, porridge cooking, oat milk and paste pulping and other eating methods, and the problem that digestion is hard after the oat is eaten by children and the aged is solved. The oat is packaged through the multilayer composite aluminum foil vacuum bags with quite good photopathy and oxygen resistance, and the expiration date of the oat can be prolonged to 18 months. It is avoided that oat grains are treated through steam, boiler firing is not needed, energy consumption is reduced, and environmental protection is promoted.

The present invention is directed to a system that may be incorporated into currently available electronic devices such as laptops, cell-phones and tablets, that help the user to maintain a viewing distance that is safe for the eyes. In order to avoid near-point stress on the eyes which may lead to the onset of myopia and / or accelerate the progression of myopia, especially in children or young adults, the system of the present invention monitors viewing distance and automatically distorts the image and / or text display into a format that is unreadable, for example, through blurring or pixilation, when the device is too close to the viewer. Alternatively, the system may automatically turn off the display when the device is too close and turn the display on when the device is at the proper viewing distance.

Varicella-zoster virus belongs to the herpesvirus family and its main host are humans, producing 2 different diseases: varicella in children and young adults and zoster in elder or immunodepressed subjects. We reported in the scientific medical literature the unexpected finding that the role of varicella-zoster virus in the pathogeny of Multiple Sclerosis (Archives of Neurology 61: 529-532). This finding allows us to foresee the use of a vaccine against this virus with preventive and therapeutic ends for multiple sclerosis which eventually could also be applicable in the prevention of varicella and zoster. Currently the only vaccine used in humans is that produced by attenuated live varicella-zoster viruses, this latter feature thus avoiding its therapeutic use in multiple sclerosis, wherein the chronic disease is caused by periodic exacerbations of the virus which remains latent in the host, therefore by injecting an attenuated and viable virus the infection may be exacerbated and promote the very latency of the vaccine virus.In our studies the most conspicuous genes of the varicella-zoster virus found in multiple sclerosis patients were the ones corresponding to the genes ORF31 (gB), ORF67 (gI) and ORF68 (gE). The recombinant vaccine which is the subject of this patent is built up by the proteins generated by these genes inserted in a plasmid vector of pNMT1-TOPO in order to transform Schizosaccharomyces pombe and thus obtaining the recombinant viral proteins which build up the vaccine.This vaccine, by being made from recombinant viral proteins eliminates the risks associated to the use of vaccines from attenuated viable viruses. Likewise, the use of these recombinant viral proteins is specific and sensitive to serological tests for the diagnosis of infections caused by the varicella-zoster virus.

A system for aiding the crawling mobility of children or young adults is disclosed. The system consists of central hub supported by four legs. The patient is enclosed in a harness which is coupled to a support cord extending through the central hub. A lifting force partially offsetting the patient's weight is supplied by tension on the support cord, which is locked relative to the central hub via a locking device. Coupling between the support cord and harness is provided by carabineers which are clipped to “D” rings on the harness. The balance point can be adjusted by moving the attachment point to various “D” ring locations.
