Abstract: A system for magnetically suspending tissue includes a grasper placement tool, a tissue grasper, a magnetic coupling element, and a tether which secures the magnetic coupling element to the tissue grasper. The grasper placement tool is used to simultaneously introduce both the tissue grasper and the magnetic coupling element to a body cavity. The grasper then releases the magnetic coupling element and engages a target tissue structure. The tissue grasper is then detached from the placement tool and a conventional laparoscopic or other grasper is used to engage the magnetic coupling element to an external magnet.

Abstract: A medical radiation device, including a main frame, and a radiation assembly and an imaging assembly respectively located at an end of the main frame. After an imaging scan is completed and diseased tissue positioning images are taken, a patient is directly moved to the other end of the main frame to allow the radiation assembly to perform a radiation treatment to improve the efficiency of the radiation treatment after the completion of diseased tissue positioning, and effectively reduce movement of the patient when the patient is being moved for radiation treatment after the imaging assembly completes diseased tissue positioning, thus reducing a positioning error of the diseased tissue caused by too much movement.

Abstract: A steerable, conformable, drug eluting balloon catheter device may include a catheter stem with one or more balloon element(s), themselves comprised of one or more segment(s) arranged radially or axially along the length of the present catheter device may allow precise deployment of vascular interventional devices, including coring devices and/or placement of stents, and may also allow targeted, specific placement of selected diagnostic or therapeutic materials on the walls of a vascular structure during a cardiovascular intervention procedure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for specifying treatment criteria and treatment planning parameters for patient specific radiation therapy planning. According to an aspect, a method includes receiving data about a patient, computing geometric characterization of one or more organs at risk proximate to a target volume of a patient or vice versa, and selecting relevant treatment knowledge and experience. The method also includes generating, based on the received data, computed geometric characterization, and available knowledge and experience, a first set of radiation treatment planning parameters that will lead to a high quality plan for the patient. Further, the method includes model-based prediction, based on the data, a second set or more of radiation treatment planning parameters that will lead to alternative achievable plans with different organ sparing objectives for treating the patient. The multiple sets for parameters can be used separately or in conjunction to generate treatment plans.

Abstract: Applicants have discovered a novel apparatus and method to aggregate and displace a plurality of magneto-responsive entities (steerable self-propelled entities or SSPEs) in three dimensions using time-multiplexing. The apparatus for controlling aggregation of SSPEs in a body comprises at least three sets of magnetic field sources arranged in three axes for generating a controlled magnetic field and a controller connected to at least one of said magnetic field sources to create a three dimensional convergence point. The method for aggregating the entities can comprise using a first set and a second set of said magnetic field sources to generate opposed magnetic field gradients in each said set to cause aggregation of said magneto-responsive entities in two axes and wherein the controller is configured to reverse a direction of said magnetic field gradient in a third set of magnetic field sources in a third axis according to a first predetermined program.

Abstract: An infant garment is disclosed that can provide certain vibrations, in an evenly distributed manner, that can mimic patting and massaging of the infant, thereby providing a calming effect to the infant and promote relaxation and sleep and further prevent irritability, fussing, crying, and screaming, among other advantages.

Abstract: A wirelessly controlled inflatable medical implant system includes an external control module and an implantable module. The external control module may transmit wireless power and control signals, which are received by circuitry on a flexible printed circuit board in the implantable module. In response to the received signals, circuitry in the flexible printed circuit board may cause a motor and pump combination to transfer fluid from a reservoir in the implantable device, through tubing, and into inflatable medical implant located in the penis. The flexible printed circuit board, motor, and pump may be placed within the fluid reservoir, which provides a heat sink that prevents overheating of the implant.
