Abstract:
Systems and methods provide for assessing the heart failure status of a patient and, more particularly, to generating a trend parameter based on a distribution of the patient's respiration rate. Systems and methods provide for detecting, using an implantable device or a patient-external device, patient respiration and computing a respiration rate based on the detected patient respiration. A distribution of the respiration rate is calculated, and a trend parameter based on the respiration rate distribution is generated. The trend parameter is indicative of a patient's heart failure status. An output signal indicative of the patient's heart failure status may be generated based on the trend parameter.
Abstract:
Provided is a terminally iodized polyfluoroalkane represented by the general formula: CnF2n+1(CHXCFY)s+p(CF2CF2)t+rI [I] (in the formula, X and Y are each a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom, wherein when Y is a fluorine atom, X is also a fluorine atom; n is an integer of 1 to 6; s+p is an integer of 1 to 5 and denotes the number of CHXCFY group; and t+r is 0 or an integer of 1 to 6 and denotes the number of tetrafluoroethylene skeleton). The terminally iodized polyfluoroalkane is produced by telomerizing a fluorine-containing olefin CHX═CFY and tetrafluoroethylene, successively, to CnF2n+1I in the presence of a peroxide initiator.

Abstract:
A solid catalyst used in, for example, production of a perfluoroalkyl iodide telomer is effectively and continuously recovered and the recovered catalyst is continuously recycled to the reactor for reuse. A slurry containing a reaction product and the catalyst is drawn from the reaction system, and the catalyst in the drawn slurry is classified by means of a hydrocyclone, whereby a high-concentration slurry whose catalyst concentration is higher than that of the drawn slurry and a low-concentration slurry whose catalyst concentration is lower than that of the drawn slurry are obtained, and the high-concentration slurry is recycled to the reaction system.
