Abstract: In combined methods for treating a patient using time-varying magnetic field, treatment methods combine various approaches for aesthetic treatment. A magnetic field generating device is placed proximate to a body region of the patient. The magnetic field generating device generates a time-varying magnetic field with a magnetic flux density in a range of 0.5 to 7 Tesla. The time-varying magnetic field is applied to the body region of the patient in order to cause a contraction of a muscle within the body region. A second therapy may be used by applying one or more of optical waves, radio frequency waves, mechanical waves, negative or positive pressure or heat to the body region of the patient.

Abstract: A system for the treatment of erectile dysfunction includes a pubic pad devised to be worn upon the pubis of a user in conjunction with an inflatable constriction member. The pubic pad creates a mated, airtight seal with the mouth of a vacuum tube. The inflatable constriction member may be inflated via an air tube accommodated within a transverse duct in the pad. Inflation of the constriction member is therefore enabled while the vacuum is instated and after tumesecnce is induced, to sustain maximum engorgement before the vacuum is released. Once the ring is inflated, the vacuum may to be released, the pad removed, leaving the constriction ring in place upon the erect penis to sustain the erection during intercourse.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying an electron beam to a subdermal tumor generates a pulsed electron beam that is collimated to a diameter of less than 1 mm and less than 10 millimeter-milliradiant transverse emittance. A biopsy needle having an interior diameter less than 2 mm and length between 1 cm and 100 cm is inserted through the skin to the tumor, and the electron beam is electromagnetically directed through the needle, so as to reach the tumor without irradiating intervening normal tissue and with minimal irradiation of surrounding normal tissue. The electron pulsing rate can be in the S-band or Q-band, the beam energy can be between 1 Mev and 6 MeV, and/or the beam brightness can be less than 10 mm·mrad. A distal end of the biopsy needle can include an electron-permeable vacuum barrier, and the apparatus can be evacuated to less than 10?8 Torr.

Abstract: Children who experience anxiety associated with novel situations react physically and emotionally in ways that make it challenging for the child, parents, educators, and providers to proceed with the intended goal of that novel situation. Anxiety in children can be reduced by introducing fun or distracting stimuli that act on specific neural pathways. The stimuli introduced can familiarize a child with the environment in which the procedure will take place and the equipment and people which the child will meet. In the healthcare setting, by using consistent stimuli, and by disrupting anxiety at one or more of a series of stages in which anxiety typically occurs, a reduction in needed anesthesia can be achieved, which is healthier for the child and reduces the costs associated with the medical or dental procedure.
