Stroke Outcome Prediction using Vascular Imaging Features
This is a prediction method to determine the outcome of a stroke based on vascular images presented by the patient. This model predicts the 90-day functional outcome after ischemic stroke at a significantly higher accuracy than current models, to inform treatment decisions and patient selection. Machine learning models were employed and trained with...

Blood Biomarker for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Inflammation in the Brain in the Days and Weeks after Stroke
This invention comprises a method of identifying chronic inflammation in the day(s), weeks, or months after a stroke by measuring matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) in a patient to determine whether therapeutic intervention is required to help immune cells process lipid debris after stroke to reduce secondary neurodegeneration. MMP-12 is a protein...

Selective Melanotropin Ligands for Neurodegenerative Diseases including Parkinson's
This technology involves administering an α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone through a carrier to selective melanotropin receptor ligands to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically, this technology allows melanotropin to be administered through either one or both, the melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R) and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R).
Background:
There...
