  • HYDROPHILIC GEL FOR TOPICAL DELIVERY OF 5-AMINOLEVULINIC ACID
    Publication number: 20200376122
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical topical gel solution that contains 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and an aqueous low viscous gel matrix. This invention also relates to a pharmaceutical preparation containing this composition. The formulation of this type can be used in photodynamic therapy as well as in the photodynamic detection of abnormally proliferating cells.

  • Continuous Non-invasive Measurement of Tissue Temperatures based on Impedance Measurements
    Publication number: 20190343398
    Abstract: For the continuous, non-invasive measurement of temperatures in a tissue, a current is supplied to the tissue by means of at least one feed electrode. A voltage (U) caused by the current (I) is measured by means of at least one measuring electrode and from this the resistance or the magnitude of the impedance of the tissue through which the current flows is determined. The temperature in the tissue is determined directly from the resistance and/or the magnitude of the impedance.
