Abstract: Unregulated angiogenesis is associated with a variety of pathological conditions. Tumor growth and metastasis is dependent on the development of new blood vessels. The development of new blood vessels in the eye, or ocular neovascularization, has been implicated in a variety of serious ocular diseases. For instance, choroidal neovascularization is linked to age-related macular degeneration, while retinal neovascularization is linked to diabetic retinopathy. The present invention is based on the discovery of a peptide sequence, C16Y, which inhibits ocular neovascularization and tumor growth in vivo. C16Y is a scrambled version of the C16 peptide sequence from the y1 chain of laminin-1. Unlike C16, which is an angiogenic stimulator, C16Y has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis. The present invention discloses methods of treating ocular neovascularization and cancer using both full-length and truncated versions of the C16Y.

Abstract: Monitoring the hydration and/or nutrition status of a patient by bioimpedance.  A bioimpedance method and device that makes use of a refined model by which the conductivity contributions from intracellular tissues can be taken better into account to enable an improved assessment of the body composition of a patient with increased accuracy. The intracellular volume (ICV) of a patient is determined by determining an intracellular electrical resistance Rmix of the patient and deriving the intracellular volume ICV using Rmix by taking into account that a cell of a kind of tissue contributes differently to the electrical resistance Rmix of the intracellular volume ICV compared with a cell of a second kind of tissue. The application also relates to a device for carrying out the method according to the invention and to a computer program product to be used on such a device.
