Abstract: Tissue expanders and their methods of use.

Abstract: A system for monitoring water chemistry of a recreational water installation includes a sensor configured to detect bather load in the recreational water installation and a controller configured to determine a required adjustment to the water chemistry of the recreational water installation based upon the detected bather load.

Abstract: An eyewear is provided. The eyewear includes lenses interconnected via a lens bridge and a nose clamp connected to the lens bridge or lenses. The nose clamp includes nose pads which are mountable onto a nose of a user, wherein the nose pads are configured for accommodating noses of varying width without substantially affecting a distance between the lenses or their orientation on the face of the user.

Abstract: A device for modifying an eating behavior of a subject is provided. The device includes a device body which is attachable to GI tract tissue of a subject and functions in altering an eating behavior thereof.

Abstract: A device for monitoring eating behavior of a user is provided. The device includes at least one sensor mounted on a head of the user, the sensor being capable of detecting jaw muscle movement and sound while not occluding an ear canal of the user.

Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for processing biological samples obtained from a subject having, or believed to have, a cell proliferation disorder. The disclosure further relates to methods and systems for detecting an object of interest in a biological sample.

Abstract: Cancer patients, patients with cognitive dysfunction, or patients with pulmonary hypertension are treated with parenterally administered therapeutic doses of statins. Particularly, transdermal, injection employing liquid infusion or particles are employed. For cancer, the statins may be used by themselves or in conjunction with a chemotherapeutic regimen. Liver cancer is treated orally with super doses of statins.

Abstract: A system for detecting non-verbal acoustic energy generated by a subject is provided. The system includes a sensor mountable on or in a body region of the subject, the sensor being capable of sensing the non-verbal acoustic energy; and a processing unit being capable of processing the non-verbal acoustic energy sensed by the sensor and deriving an activity related signature therefrom, thereby enabling identification of a specific activity associated with the non-verbal acoustic energy.

Abstract: Particles of an organic acid salt of an amino acid amide or ester local anesthetic are employed as agents for the improved alleviation of pain. Particularly, the particles find use with surgically created wounds, where the particles may be administered directly into the bed of the wound or topically for transdermal transport.

Abstract: A tissue expansion device is provided. The device includes an expandable compartment adapted for implanting in a body of a subject; and a gas source adapted for implanting in a body of a subject and operably connected to the expandable compartment for inflation thereof by transfer of a gas thereto.

Abstract: A gastrointestinal device is provided. The device includes a band sized and configured for residing in or around a pyloric sphincter region of the subject. The band is functional in maintaining the pyloric sphincter at a fixed opening size.

Abstract: Contact killing antimicrobial articles, devices and formulations are described which kill microorganisms on contact. The articles, devices or formulations contain a non-leaching antimicrobial material which is a unique combination of an organic matrix having biocidal metallic materials non-leachably associated with the matrix. The antimicrobial material may used to form an antimicrobial coating or layer on a surface of the article or device, or may be dispersed in a vehicle or carrier to form a topical antiseptic or disinfectant, or solid shape having contact killing antimicrobial properties. When a microorganism contacts the article, device, or formulation, the biocidal metallic material is transferred to the microorganism in amounts sufficient to kill it.

Abstract: A tissue expansion device, the device comprising: (a) an expandable compartment adapted for implanting in a body of a subject; and (b) a gas source adapted for implanting in a body of a subject and operably connected to said expandable compartment for inflation thereof by transfer of a gas thereto.
