Abstract: A method for treating a penis of a patient comprises the steps of: positioning the penis within a penis-receiving space of a penis treatment device, causing the penis-receiving space to become at least partially filled with an energy wave propagating media, and emitting propagating energy waves into the penis-receiving space after causing the penis-receiving space to become at least partially filled with the energy wave propagating media whereby the penis within the penis-receiving body is subjected to the propagating energy waves. The penis-receiving space is at least partially encompassed by a layer of material having material characteristics causing the propagating energy waves that impinge upon the layer of material to be reflected therefrom. A step may be provided for causing the penis to become erect for enhancing exposure to and/or absorption of the propagating energy waves (e.g., via creating a negative pressure environment within the penis-receiving space).

Abstract: A method of treating an appendage using acoustic shock waves includes: providing an appendage in need of an acoustic shock wave treatment; placing an acoustic shock wave applicator on a surface of the appendage; placing a gaseous filled membrane on an opposite surface of the appendage; activating an acoustic shock wave generator or source to emit acoustic shock waves from an acoustic shock wave applicator; and wherein the acoustic shock waves are transmitted from the acoustic shock wave applicator through the surface sending the emitted acoustic shock waves into the tissue of the appendage and exiting the opposite surface of the appendage to the gaseous filled membrane where a reflection of the acoustic shock waves occurs sending reflected acoustic shock waves back through the appendage. A dose of formation-mitigating treatment composition may be delivered into a region of the appendage at which a material formation (e.g., collagen-containing plague) is located.

Abstract: An improved method of treating an appendage of a patient using acoustic shock waves has the steps of: providing an appendage in need of an acoustic shock wave treatment; placing an acoustic shock wave applicator on a surface of the appendage; placing a gaseous filled membrane on an opposite surface of the appendage; activating an acoustic shock wave generator or source to emit acoustic shock waves from an acoustic shock wave applicator; and wherein the acoustic shock wave is transmitted from the acoustic shock wave applicator through the surface sending the emitted acoustic shock waves into the tissue of the appendage and exiting the opposite surface of the appendage to the gaseous filled membrane where a reflection of the acoustic shock wave occurs sending reflected acoustic shock waves back through the appendage.

Abstract: A method of treatment for a penis of an adult postpubertal male patient, the treatment has of the steps of: causing an erection of a penis; activating an acoustic shock wave generator or source to emit low energy or unfocused acoustic shock waves and subjecting the erect penis to the acoustic shock waves stimulating said erect penis, the erect penis is positioned within a path of the emitted shock waves stimulating a cellular response.

Abstract: The present invention relates to chemical compounds, methods for their discovery, and their therapeutic and research use. In particular, the present invention provides antiviral and antimicrobial lectin compounds (BanLec) isolated from bananas. These compounds have low mitogenicity and pro-inflammatory activity while maintaining anti-HIV-1 activity.

Abstract: A system for causing penile erection and/or subjecting the penis to stretching. The system utilizes a vacuum source and/or supply device, a housing configured to at least partially receive therein a penis, and a garment or support configured to retain and/or support the housing. Also disclosed is a method of using the system on a user's penis as discussed in the instant application.
