Abstract: Cryotherapeutic devices for targeted lunch neuromodulation therapies and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A cryotherapeutic device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, an elongated shaft having a distal portion and a cooling assembly positioned at the distal portions. The shaft is configured to deliver the distal portion at a target site within a bronchus of a patient. The cooling assembly includes an expandable member, an injection lumen configured to dispel a refrigerant into the expandable member, and an exhaust lumen configured to receive expanded refrigerant. The cooling assembly is configured to impart cryogenic cooling to ablate neural fibers proximate to the target site. The device can be sized to fit within a working channel of a bronchoscope such that at least a portion of the cooling assembly can be visualized during a cryotherapeutic procedure.

Abstract: A graph database for outbreak tracking and management is disclosed. In an example embodiment, an outbreak management system includes a memory device storing instructions that define a graph database for disease outbreak tracking. The instructions specify for a given host that a host node is created and an episode node is connected to the host node via a ‘case’ link. The episode node is associated with episode parameters that are related to a disease classification of the host. In addition, the instructions specify that an outbreak node is connected to the episode node via a ‘part of’ link to indicate that the host has become part of an outbreak of the disease. The outbreak node is connected to a definition node via a ‘defined as’ link. The definition node specifies disease parameters of the disease that is related to the outbreak node.

Abstract: Pharmacy workflow management with alert integration. A pharmacy workflow management application may obtain alert data from an alert generation platform. In turn, the alert information may be provided to a user of the workflow management application within the application without having to divert from use of the application. The user may further utilize the pharmacy workflow application to access the alert generation platform. In this regard, the user of the pharmacy workflow management application may be in bidirectional communication with the alert generation platform to, for example, exchange resolution information in relation to an alert. The alert data may comprise any pertinent data related to pharmacy activity managed by the pharmacy workflow management application and in particular may include data related to infection control or antimicrobial stewardship.

Abstract: Provided is a safety directional indicator to improve highway safety. Embodiments of the invention include devices for guiding a driver of a vehicle in a desired direction, typically away from highway workers, pedestrians, curbs, and opposing lanes of traffic. Specifically included is a safety directional indicator system comprising a flexible belt with a plurality of light transmitting bars disposed along the belt and having a plurality of LEDs disposed at one elongated end of each light transmitting bar and in operable communication with a control system for illuminating the LEDs in a manner to indicate a direction for traffic. Safety devices according to the invention can be stand-alone devices, devices capable of being attached to objects or structures at a highway scene, or configured to be worn on a person's body. An object of the safety devices according to embodiments of the invention is to increase driver awareness of highway situations especially during conditions of restricted visibility.

Abstract: An apparatus for guiding a driver of a vehicle to enter into a correct lane after a turn at an intersection includes an elongated housing mounted at a first end thereof to a ground surface so that the housing is disposed in a generally upright manner. A first indicating member is secured to the housing for indicating the correct entry lane and viewable by the driver prior to and during turning at the intersection and entering into the correct lane. A second indicating member is secured to the housing laterally opposing the first indicating member for indicating an incorrect entry lane. Each of the first and second indicating members may be a reflector or a light assembly. A plurality of each of the first indicating members and second indicating members may be secured to the housing in a downward spiral manner and incrementally viewable by the driver.
