Abstract: A device allowing the creation of an alimentary bolus flow between two stomas, including means forming a pump; first/second sealed connection means capable of connecting the suction opening to an upstream/downstream stoma located on the abdominal wall of a patient; and first and/or second anti-reflux means.

Abstract: A device enabling food bolus flow between two stomas, said device having a pump forming means (3), said pump forming means (3) having an entry opening and an exit opening and being suitable for sucking food bolus through said entry opening and releasing it through said exit opening. The device further includes: —first watertight connection means (11) suitable for connecting said entry opening to a upstream stoma (S1) located on a patient's abdominal wall; —second watertight connection means (1) suitable for connecting said exit opening to a downstream stoma (S2), located on said patient's abdominal wall; said pump forming means being able to be activated by a user and suitable for being mounted on a patient's body, particularly on said patient's abdomen, in such a manner that once said device is mounted onto said patient's abdomen, food bolus flow can circulate from said upstream stoma (S1) to said downstream stoma (S2) outside of said patient's abdomen.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for application of hyperthermia in a particular body using microwaves. The device comprises a wire antenna (1) supplied with microwave energy or, upon switching, acting as a radiometric probe, a sleeve (2) enabling the wire antenna to be thermostatted and a Foley-type catheter (3) removably mounted so as to encompass the assembly thus constituted, the catheter enabling this assembly to be positioned in relation to an opening for insertion into the particular body and being the sole disposable part in order to ensure good hygiene of the hyperthermia session. A connection module (4) allows the interconnection both of the wire antenna, from the radio-frequency point of view, and of the sleeve and the catheter, from the hydraulic point of view. Application to thermotherapy or to the thermal treatment of certain bodies is thus provided.

Abstract: A system for internal heat treatment of specific bodies by microwave including a generator 1 of microwave energy at a frequency f0, at least one channel for transmission of the microwave energy, each channel making it possible to generate a modulated microwave treatment signal, the wave of the microwave energy of two consecutive channels exhibiting a phase shift of defined value. At least one microwave applicator is associated with one of the channels in order to ensure application of the microwave energy delivered by this channel at separate adjacent points of the area Z to be treated, and a dual-temperature-reference radiometer is interconnected selectively to the applicator which then plays the role of temperature sensor, the absolute temperature of the adjacent point of the area Z to be treated being thus determined. The microwave powers radiated and the instantaneous temperatures of the separate points of the area Z to be treated are displayed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of treatment in the field of dermatology, for the treatment of cutaneous angio dysplasias, using the energy emitted by a laser source, as well as to an apparatus for the treatment of skin angiomas implementing the process. The apparatus includes a laser source suitable for supplying laser radiation, a treatment instrument for receiving the laser radiation from the source and whereby a plurality of consecutive laser shots is effected to form a plurality of resulting impacts on the area of the body to be treated. Following each shot, the area of the body thus treated has, at the resulting impact, at least a given relaxation time. The apparatus includes a support frame, an optical fiber disposed in the frame. The optical fiber has two ends, the first of the ends being suitable for connection to the laser source via the connecting means, the second end being mobile and suitable for generating a displaceable laser spot.

Abstract: The device comprises a microwave detector, a short-circuit microwave, a first modulator, or microwave-switch, a circulator with three successive channels, at least two sources of internal reference temperatures, a second modulator or microwave-switch, possibly an attenuator, a synchronization command circuit acting both on the first modulator and on the second modulator to obtain at least four different successive outgoing signals, a microwave detector, advantageously a microwave amplifier, and a calculator connected to the output of synchronization command circuit, said at least four successive signals being detected to deduce therefrom the temperature at the detector level, independently of the coefficient of reflection of the detector with respect to the region of the losses and of the modulators and of the cables.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cupola-type visual stimulation ophthalmological pparatus for examining the visual field of a patient and performing electrophysiological examinations. It comprises a projection screen consisting of the inner surface of a hemispherical cupola, the patient's eye being disposed centrally of the cupola during the examination. A device for projecting visual stimuli on the screen is provided in the upper portion of the cupola and comprises essentially a casing incorporating a light source, filter means, an object mask, a lens and a movable reflecting mirror located in the vicinity of the cupola center. This mirror is adapted to project toward any desired point of the screen a luminous stimulus perceived by the patient for measuring the extent of the patient's visual field. Moreover, with the projection device it is possible to illuminate the complete visual field according to criteria relating specifically to electrophysiological examinations.
