摘要:
The (-)-D-isomers of compounds of the general formula ##STR1## in which X stands for an acidic radical, especially a radical of phosphonic acid, sulphonic acid, boronic acid or tetrazole,R stands for an alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene radical with 3 or more carbon atoms, preferably 3 to 6 carbon atoms, or a C.sub.3 to C.sub.7 cycloalkyl radical, andA and B independently of each other stand for a hydrogen atom or a lipophilic radical, especially an ester radical,or salts thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable bioprecursors thereof, especially (-)-D-aminophosphonopentanoic acid and (-)-D-aminophosphonoheptanoic acid, find use in the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system.The compound aminophosphonoheptanoic acid is also novel as a racemic mixture and the present invention also relates to that compound in racemic form which may be used in the same way as the said (-)-D-isomers.
摘要:
There are provided methods of packaging and packages that prevent damage of the package contents while maintaining sterility and that limit the negative effects of sterilization on sensors such as enzyme sensors. A method of packaging an enzyme sensor includes providing an enzyme sensor such as a glucose oxidase sensor in a gas impermeable package comprising one or more of oxygen and water, removing a significant portion of the oxygen and water present in the package, and sealing the package. The resulting package comprises the enzyme sensor in an atmosphere that is substantially free of oxygen and water. The package can also include a pressure indicator that indicates when the package has exceeded a predetermined pressure.
摘要:
A flexible circuit is provided herein that includes conductive material on the top and bottom planar surfaces of a dielectric substrate. The flexible circuit can be used in various applications, including use as a sensor. A via is used to provide electrical communication between the top and bottom surface of the flexible circuit. A method of preparing a flexible circuit and a medical instrument including the flexible circuit are also provided.

摘要:
A temperature compensation method for an enzyme electrode by measuring an operating temperature of the enzyme electrode, measuring the current generated by the enzyme electrode determining a deviation in measurement between the current generated and a reference current at the operating temperature, determining an enzyme concentration corresponding to the measured current, and calibrating the enzyme concentration to compensate for the deviation in measurement.
摘要:
Devices and methods for treating intraocular pressure are disclosed. The devices include drug delivery implants for treating ocular tissue. Optionally, the devices also include shunts for draining aqueous humor from the anterior chamber to the uveoscleral outflow pathway, including the supraciliary space and the suprachoroidal space. The drug delivery implants can be implanted in ab interno or ab externo procedures.
摘要:
Described herein is a contrast agent for administration to a subject. The contrast agent includes a targeting portion that includes an unchelated aminocarboxylate functional group; a metal ion bound to a metal-complexable portion; and a linker joining the targeting portion and the metal-complexable portion of the contrast agent. The portion that is not bound to a metal ion is for binding to necrotic tissue in the subject.
