Abstract: A dual masturbator device for two adult males to masturbate simultaneously. The dual masturbator device has a Y-shaped design which permits entry of two male members for the purpose of mutual masturbation. The internal material mimics genital flesh, and allows the two adult males to feel each other through the material, increasing the sensation. The dual masturbator device also includes a temporary plug so that one opening can be used by a single male if preferred. The device can be made of clear material so that users are able to observe their members within the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a catheter-based system of image-guided internally-administered treatment of medical conditions such as, for example, pancreatic cancer. A distal end of a catheter is positioned at a target site inside a patient's body. An imaging probe extended through the catheter collects image data of patient tissue at the target site. The image data is processed and a treatment plan is developed. A radiation source positioned at the distal end of the catheter without removing the catheter. In this way, images collected at the target tissue site can be used to develop a treatment plan and to guide the localized positioning and operation of a treatment device at the same internal tissue site—thereby providing higher resolution imaging than external-based imaging modalities and reduced exposure to radiation as compared to externally applied radiation therapies.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for delivering electromagnetic signals configured specifically to accelerate the asymmetrical kinetics of the binding of intracellular ions to their respective intracellular buffers, to enhance the biochemical signaling pathways plant animal and human molecules, cells, tissues, organs, portions of entire organisms and entire organisms employ for growth, repair and maintenance. Described herein are devices and methods that utilize repetitive bursts of waveforms configured to maximize the bound concentration of intracellular ions at their associated molecular buffers to enhance the biochemical signaling pathways living systems employ for growth, repair and maintenance. For example the systems and methods described herein may drive the binding of calcium to calmodulin (CaM), thereby enhancing the CaM-dependent nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway.

Abstract: Apparatus for delivering brachytherapy to a target tissue region includes an elongate body including a proximal end, a distal end sized for introduction into a tissue tract and carrying a plurality of elongate members including pathways for receiving a source of radiation. The elongate members are movable between collapsed and expanded configurations. During use, a tract is created through tissue, and the elongate body carrying the elongate members is advanced through the tract into a target location with the elongate members in the collapsed configuration. The elongate members are directed to the expanded configuration at the target location, and radiation is delivered to treat tissue at the target location, e.g., by introducing one or more radiation sources along the pathways.

A device can include a case, a stimulation head coupled with the case and including at least one coil of conductive wire for generating a magnetic field, and an electronic circuit housed in the case for driving the coils to generate the magnetic field.

Abstract: In a method of treating erectile dysfunction in a patient, a predetermined course of external counter-pulsation treatment is applied to a lower body portion of the patient. After the predetermined course of external counter-pulsation treatment is applied, a predetermined course of low intensity shockwave treatment is applied to a penile area of the patient. After the course of low intensity shockwave treatment, a predetermined course of carboxy therapy is applied to a corpora cavernosa of the patient.

Abstract: The present invention provides an artificial insemination apparatus and methods for use with livestock that maintains the sterility of the semen until it is deposited at an optimum location in the reproductive tract of the animal without the maneuvering or tissue injury problems associated with prior art devices. Embodiments of the present invention comprise a uniquely shaped opening that is provided at the tip of a sheath that is used with an artificial insemination gun, and a movable or deformable plug or diaphragm that fits into and covers this opening. The plug or diaphragm has a rounded (convex) exterior surface, and may be made of a rigid or rubberized material that completely covers the opening at the tip of the sheath, and seals it closed in a smooth, flush engagement to prevent contaminants from collecting upon the tip, or entering into the sheath during the trip through the reproductive tract of the animal.
