Abstract: An improved radial expansible retractor and a method of minimally invasive surgery, by opening a channel in the brain or other soft tissue of a patient, by inserting the radial expansible retractor into the body of the patient, and by widening the channel at a continuous and gentle rate. The use of the improved radial expansible retractor renders surgical procedures, including neurosurgical procedures, shorter, less traumatic, and more reliable, reducing risk and the need for subsequent surgery and reducing recovery time. Procedures are carried out with real time monitoring of the retracted brain perfusion pressure. A plurality of improved radial expansible retractors may be used in a single operation. The improved radial expansible retractor allows access to areas of the brain previously almost impossible to access.

Abstract: This invention describes the composition of mixtures that are a cryorganic, cryo-massage cream or liquid, for different types of skin, and a method of storing and applying this, non-viscous and thick viscous mixtures, which method can also be used for medications and food products.

Abstract: A surgical retractor and a method of minimally invasive surgery, wherein the surgical retractor includes ribs and a mechanism for transferring of linear and rotational movements of the ribs and wherein each rib can be easily replaced without use of any additional tools. According to embodiments of the present invention, specific parts composing the surgical retractor are made of materials transparent to Röntgen rays (x-rays).

Abstract: A fever reducing formulation comprising an aqueous solution of acetic acid, sweating inducing plant extracts and fragrant masking ingredients. The solution of acetic acid and the plant extract reduce fever while the fragrant masking ingredients mask the smell of the acetic acid. A kit for reducing fever comprising the above mentioned fever reducing formulation, as well as a container for mixing the formulation, an absorbing material for applying the formulation to the skin and an information and instruction sheet. A method for reducing fever comprising mixing the formulation, moistening an absorbing material with the formulation and applying the absorbing material to the skin.
