Abstract: An adapter suitable for direct introduction of an active agent, or a contrast agent, into the bladder of a male or female patient without the use of a catheter has an elongated body that defines an internal through passageway and a toroidal sealing collar that surrounds the elongated body at a distal end portion of the elongated body. The distal end portion terminates in a rounded off tip-part sized for insertion into the urethra of the patient. The proximal end portion of the elongated body is adapted for connection to a dosing device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel medicinal and/or pharmaceutical compositions indicated as composition A and composition B in liquid form for use as a medicinal composition or medicament for intravesical instillation, in the simultaneous local treatment of diseases of the urethra and/or the bladder, where compositions A and B are for use advantageously in the treatment of bladder pain syndrome (interstitial cystitis), in the urethra, and by replenishment of the GAG-layer on the inner surface of the bladder, further advantageously composition A is for use for local analgesic and anaesthetic treatment of the urethra and/or the bladder, and further advantageously the treatment of inflammation of the urethra and/or the bladder and preparation thereof. According to the use of the compositions of the subject matter of the invention, the treatment of the IC/BPS is implemented in two steps using first composition A and secondly composition B for intravesical instillation through the urethra.

Abstract: A method and system for streaming multimedia data over a communication network. Each segment of multiple segments is associated with at least two data blocks of multiple data blocks. The segments are sequenced according to a unique stream index for one stream associated with multimedia content. The unique stream index for the one stream is assigned a main index that describes multiple streams for the multimedia content. The multiple streams include the one stream. A request for content of the multimedia content is received. The request specifies a data chunk, of the multiple data chunks, that denotes the requested content. The main index is analyzed with respect to the specified data chunk to determine the stream and segments and/or data blocks therein that encompass the requested content. The determined stream and segments and/or data blocks therein are transmitted over the communication network in response to the request.

Abstract: A method and system for streaming multimedia data over a communication network. Live multimedia content is divided into multiple data chunks. Each generated data chunk: has a first chunk size, is associated with a respective portion of the live multimedia content, and is indexed according to a time associated with the live multimedia content such that each data chunk is associated with a unique time at which each data chunk begins. The data chunks having the first chunk size are stored as the data chunks having the first chunk size are being generated. The stored data chunks having the first chunk size, starting at the one stored data chunk, are converted to data chunks having a second chunk size that differs from the first chunk size. The data chunks having the second chunk size are directly transmitted to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for subsequent transmission a client device.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a medical device for assisting self-catheterization and instillation of drug-solutions into the bladder in female patients, consisting of switchable light force (6), of power supply (7), of mirror (8) and/or of one or more cameras (13). The device can be fixed on the dosing syringe (1) itself and beside or instead of the mirror (8) is consisting also of one or more cameras (13). The catheter (2) and the urine drainage bag (13) is connected through a three-way tap (9). A holder element (12) is fixed on the grip element (11). On or in the holder element (12) a micro switch (5), a light source (6), power supply (7) can be found. Further on a mirror (8) or a camera (13) is fixed expediently to the holder element (12) by a fixation element (15).

Abstract: A method and device for streaming multimedia data over a communication network. Data associated with multimedia content is received over the communication network. Portions of the data are processed into multiple data blocks. The multiple data blocks are associated with multiple segments by associating each segment with at least two data blocks of the multiple data blocks. The segments of the multiple segments are sequenced according to a stream index. The stream index is assigned to a main index that describes a set of streams for the multimedia content.

Abstract: An adapter is provided with a central, longitudinal, inner through hole and has a rounded off tip-part to be inserted into the external urethral orifice, a sealing collar and a cylindrical connecting part known connectable to the appropriate part of a dosing device, advantageously to the ISO 594 standard Luer Slip or Luer-Lock tip of a syringe. The adapter is connected by known method to the appropriate part of a dosing device containing the active and/or contrast agent, then the active and/or contrast agent is ingested leakage-free into the urethra or into the urethra and the bladder through the adapter, then through the external urethral orifice by using overpressure in the dosing device and inserting the tip-part into the external urethral orifice and squeezing the sealing collar in a proper way to the external urethral orifice.
