Inventor: FERNANDEZ MAYORALAS ALVAREZ AL
IPC: G01N33/493
Filed: 2003-10-10
Abstract: The invention relates to the use in humans of a method which is based on the use of 4-galactosyl-xylose and which involves an alternative technique to determining xylose in urine. The method consists in measuring the concentration of xylose in the blood following the oral administration of 4- galactosyl-xylose to the patient, the use of said method being even more suitable in the case newborns. The invention also relates to the technology used for the in vivo evaluation of intestinal lactase activity, by way of a non-invasive test for the diagnosis of a deficiency of said enzyme, which consists in directly evaluating the overall activity of the enzyme in the individual and not in assessing the consequences of said deficiency. The inventive method does not require specialist equipment, does not cause any obvious discomfort to patients with a lactase deficiency and is extremely reliable, thereby eliminating the inconveniences of currently-used diagnosti c tests.

Patent CA-2531358-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NATIV AVINOAM
IPC: A61B5/0488
Filed: 2005-12-22
Abstract: An apparatus for training a subject to perform a specified physical activi ty is based on the presence of two or more kinesthetic body sensors, whether mounted on the body or separately from the body, that deliver signals to a processing system that, in turn, delivers a single output signal. This signa l drives a display that delivers feedback to the subject. Multiple body sensor output signals may be combined in accordance with a predetermined algorithm to produce a single composite signal. This combining may be as simple as direct addition, or may include the combination of weighted values of the individua l comparison signals. An operator may adjust the weighting values to be applie d to the respective comparison signals, and may do so while the apparatus is in use. Alternately while the apparatus is in use, a proportional signal from one bo dy sensor may drive the display, subject to suppression of such signal if the output from any number of other body sensors does not achieve preselected threshold values.
