Abstract: Disclosed biopsy markers are adapted to serve as localization markers during a surgical procedure. Adaptation includes incorporation of materials detectable under ultrasound during surgery, as well as features for co-registration with image guidance or other real-time imaging technologies during surgery. Such biopsy markers, when used as localization markers, improve patient comfort and reduce challenges in surgical coordination and surgery time. Additional disclosed biopsy markers are adapted to serve as monitoring and/or detection apparatuses, Localization of an implanted marker may be done with ultrasound technology. Ultrasound image data is analyzed to identify the implanted marker. A distance to the marker or a lesion may be determined and displayed. The determined distance may be a distance between the ultrasound probe and the marker or lesion, a distance between the marker or lesion and an incision instrument, and/or a distance between the ultrasound probe and the incision instrument.

Abstract: An internal cake support apparatus comprising: at least a first food-grade member with a connector, the connector configured to be detachably coupled to a corresponding connector of at least one other food-grade member; wherein the internal cake support apparatus is reconfigurable to provide for a plurality of different configurations of rigid internal support frame for supporting a cake.

Abstract: An improved medical capnographysystem (22) automatically determines the effect of therapy on the underlying patient. The system enable the determination of proper endotracheal tube or advanced airway placement, the effectiveness of CPR, and the occurrence of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or loss of spontaneous circulation by use of a therapy analyzer (36) implementing an analyze therapy algorithm (336). The system may be implemented in platform-independent hardware or software.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated CPR device for performing automated chest compressions of a patient. The CPR device is provided with display processing electronics for processing information data so that display content associated with the information data can be displayed in different rotated orientations so that the information can be oriented correctly relative to a user's viewing direction. The CPR device is configured with an orientation button for activating rotation of the displayed information. The orientation button is configured so that the location of the button relative to display content, at least along a single dimension, is the same. For example, the orientation button may be located adjacent to the middle of an edge of the display so that the button remains located adjacent to information located in the center of the display irrespective of the displayed orientation of the information, irrespective of the two orientations.
