Abstract: Increasing intranasal lymphatic circulation as a means of decreasing intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury.

Abstract: An interspinous spacer having a pair of hooks that, upon lateral insertion between opposed spinous process, bear upon the opposed spinous processes.

Abstract: A system for removing charged particles from the brain in which a cannula with a distal anode, a proximal cathode and a vacuum are used. The cannula also comprises a fluid delivery port that is functionally connected to a vacuum, and holes with the distal end of the cannula. The charged species in the brain tissue are drawn to the anode that is on the distal end of the probe, when a cathode is placed on the skull of the patient and an appropriate electric field is applied between the anode and cathode. The use of a vacuum within the device to remove the destructive charged particles.

Abstract: A method of delivering a curcuminoid to a patient, which includes iontophoretically delivering a charged curcuminoid across the skin of an Alzheimer's Disease patient.

Abstract: Co-administration of an effective amount of autoantigen and UV light to mucosal associated lymphatic tissue (MALT) in a patient.

Abstract: A methylene blue-curcumin hybrid useful in treating Alzheimer's Disease.

Abstract: An interspinous spacer having a memory metal extension.

Abstract: Novel molecules based upon hybridization of curcumin and hydroxystilbenes, such as resveratrol. It is believed that these novel molecules will have special application in treating Alzheimer's Disease.

Abstract: A methylene blue—curcumin hybrid useful in treating Alzheimer's Disease.

Abstract: A method of treating a fractured vertebral body by using a) a plurality of reinforcement rods combined with the b) a bone growth agent, wherein the reinforcement rods act to mechanically join disparate bone fragments across the fracture planes, thereby stabilizing the fracture site, and the bone growth agent promotes the growth of new bone across the fracture planes, thereby permanently replacing the fracture site with new bone.

Abstract: An interspinous spacer having opposed, pivotally connected s-shaped members that can enter the interspinous space in an initial state and then rotate to a final state to secure the implant to the adjacent interspinous processes.

Abstract: A prosthetic endplate having articulation surfaces whose relative positions can be post-operatively adjusted.

Abstract: A banana shaped intevertebral fusion cage having a domed profile, an internal planar wall defining first and second graft chambers, asymmetrically disposed leading and trailing insertion, and an anterior wall recess.

Abstract: A modular, static intervertebral trial having interchangeable base members having different heights, and interchangeable endplates having different footprints and angles.

Abstract: This invention relates to an implant for a musculoskeletal defect having a bioactive agent having a concentration gradient.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and compositions for treating pathological intervertebral discs comprising the step of delivering an agent that causes chemical crosslinking of the native molecular components of the disc. Supplemental materials which are susceptible to crosslinking by the aforementioned agent are optionally delivered to the disc in order to increase and maintain disc height.

Abstract: This invention relates to a trackable medical tool for use in image guided surgery in which the drive shaft rotates about the tracking post.

Abstract: The invention relates to a manifold for mixing biomedical fluids having superior stability and minimal susceptibility to clotting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel spreader tensiometer adapted for use in measuring tension in an intervertebral disc space.

Abstract: This invention relates to a spinal facet joint ligament.
