Title: Method for estimating creatinine clearance in obese and malnourished subjects using measurements of body cell mass
Inventor: KOTLER DONALD P
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1997-08-13
Granted: 2003-05-27
Abstract: Creatinine clearance is estimated in a patient by determining his or her body cell mass. In turn, the body cell mass of the patient is measured using bioimpedance analysis techniques. The patient's serum creatinine concentration is also measured. The body cell mass and the serum creatinine concentration provide an indication of actual creatinine clearance in the subject through use of a predictive formula. From this prediction, accurate dosages of potentially nephrotoxic medications can be appropriately prescribed.

Abstract: The present invention is a computer-implemented method for calculating word accuracy. Word grouping accuracy values (260) are calculated (212) by using the character accuracy values (250) calculated by an OCR program present in a computer system. The present invention preferably uses these character accuracy values (250) to create a word grouping accuracy value (260). Various methods are employed to calculate the word accuracy (260), including binarizing the character accuracy values (250). modified averaging of the character accuracy values (250), and creating fuzzy visual displays of word grouping accuracy values (260). The calculated word grouping accuracy values (260) are then adjusted based upon known OCR strengths and weaknesses. and based upon comparisons to stored word lists and the application of language rules. In a system with multiple character recognition techniques. the system can compare the accuracy values (260) of different versions of the word groupings to find the most accurate version. Then, the most accurate version of the word groupings is kept.

Granted: 2011-11-22
Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules code for fusion proteins which contain at least one effector module, a processing module and a targeting module. The disclosed nucleic acid molecules preferably further contain a modulator module and/or an affinity module. Also disclosed are vectors containing these nucleic acid molecules, hosts transformed by the disclosed vectors, fusion proteins coded by the disclosed nucleic acids or produced by the disclosed hosts, and medicaments which contain the disclosed polypeptides or vectors. These medicaments are particularly significant for the therapy of diseases associated with a pathological reproduction and/or increased activity of cell populations. A temporary, abrupt and strong proliferation, infiltration and immune activity of cells of the immune system is found in auto-immune diseases and allergies, the specificity of these immune cells being due to their reaction to a particular antigen or allergen. These medicaments may also be advantageously used for treating tumours. The disclosed polypeptides and vectors can be used to develop medicaments and to test toxin activity-modulating factors. The invention thus also concerns corresponding processes, uses and kits. The modules, with the exception of the affinity and targeting modules, are preferably coded by nucleic acids extracted or derived from the mistletoe lectin proprotein coding sequence.
