Abstract: A quadrupolar-solenoidal electro-magnet creates more nearly parallel field lines and a coaxial magnetic bias resulting in allowing deeper magnetic field penetration with reduced depth attenuation and greater focality than available with the commonly used Figure-8 dual toroidal magnets, thereby overcoming the trade-offs inherent in currently standard practice for transcranial magnetic stimulation magnetic field generation and the proposed transcranial magnetic stimulation coil designs. When quadrupole electro-magnets are used with solenoids, the axis of the electro-magnets can be focused at the target within the desired tissue and at greater depth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantable apparatus for obtaining urinary control and emptying of the urinary bladder, thereby preventing from or treating involuntary urinary retention. In general terms, the apparatus comprises an expandable member adapted to be implanted inside the urinary bladder of the patient for discharging urine, and a control device for controlling the volume of the expandable member. The control device is adapted to be connected to the expandable member through the wall of the urinary bladder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to organ transplant systems used to keep organs chilled and viable as they are moved between patients. More specifically, the present invention both contains the organ and holds it in position during transplant surgery. Thus, there is no need for a member of the implant surgical team to hold the organ while it is being sewn into place.

The penetratory member extends from said passage in response to depression of said cushion member about said passage. An article of reconfigurable furniture with such device is also provided.

Abstract: An instrument used for brachytherapy delivery in the treatment of cancer by radiation therapy including a handle having first and second handle actuators; an end effector; and an instrument shaft that connects the handle with the end effector. The end effector has first and second adjacent disposed staple cartridges that each retain a set of staples. The first mechanism is for holding standard staples in a first array, and dispensing the standard staples under control of the corresponding first handle actuator. The second mechanism is for holding radioactive source staples in a second array, and dispensing said radioactive source staples under control of the corresponding second handle actuator. The actuating device is removably attachable to an actuator arm on a proximal end. A staple applicator cartridge holder is attached to the actuator arm on a distal end. The staple applicator cartridge is mountable in the holder and having a plurality of slots for mounting of radioactive source staples therein.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in swine are described. More particularly, methods are described for synchronizing the time of insemination by administration of a composition comprising a hormone, wherein the swine is inseminated only one time after administration of the hormone, and wherein there is no heat detection.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for treating a heart of a patient may make use of one or more implant structures which limit a size of a chamber of the heart, such as by deploying a tensile member to bring a wall of the heart toward (optionally into contact with) a septum of the heart.

Abstract: A dream stimulator may include a substrate and a plurality of electrodes positioned along a first side of the substrate. The stimulator also may include a stimulator coupled to the substrate. At least one lead may couple the plurality of electrodes to the stimulator. Additionally, a band may be positioned along a second side of the substrate and about each of the plurality of electrodes.

Abstract: A method of repairing a pelvic floor disorder and a system for carrying out the method are provided. The method is effected by positioning an imaging device in an abdominal, rectal, perianal or vaginal cavity, advancing a surgical instrument through a vaginal wall under guidance of the imaging device to thereby reach a target tissue and using the surgical instrument to attach the tissue repair device to the target tissue.

Abstract: Disclosed is a prostate massager that includes a first section connected to a second section. The first section can bend relative to the second section at various angles to optimize prostate stimulation. Each of the first section and the second section includes a vibrating unit that can facilitate massaging. The vibrating unit can be controlled via a control switch that is operatively connected to a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board can include a network interface for connecting the massager to an external user device to remotely control the massager.
