Abstract: The invention provides devices and systems, as well as associated methods of using them, that employ a remote Dicke switching element—i.e., distal to a radiometer. The devices, systems, and methods are suitable for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications in a wide variety of tissues.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for wound treatment, comprising a chamber that includes an inner surface and defines a treatment space, the chamber being made of a flexible, impermeable material. The device further includes a plurality of structures configured to exert mechanical stress on a wound, the plurality of structures intruding from the inner surface of the chamber into the treatment space. The device further includes a tube having a first end connected to the chamber, the tube being in fluid communication with the treatment space so as to enable at least one selected from the group of applying negative pressure to the treatment space and applying a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: The invention provides, inter alia, devices and systems adapted for treating Barrett's esophagus and associated methods of treatment using the devices. In certain embodiments, the invention provides an ablation catheter and method of use to endoscopically access portions of the human esophagus where undesired growth of epithelium may develop. In some embodiments, the devices and systems include a microwave antenna, an ablation means (such as a microwave ablation means), an expandable basket configured to accommodate an optical inspection system proximate to the ablation means and a radiometer coupled to the antenna, the radiometer being configured to measure, e.g., temperature and or impedance mismatch from the antenna.

Abstract: An internet based automated wagering system allows many participant to wager on outcomes of certain events associated with a game. The wagering can occur in real time or can be delayed. Presentations are made to participants indicating various events associated with the game and participants can then send to the system proposed wagers based on possible outcomes of the event as selected by each participant. The system then finds a partner for each participant and an engagement is established between the participants interested in the same wager and event outcome. The system can monitor events and determine their outcomes, or can obtain event outcome information from external sources.
