Abstract: A device and method for forming NO-containing gas flow to treat a biological object is disclosed. The device may include an anode, a cathode, an interelectrode area between the cathode and the anode, an NO-containing gas flow outlet channel leading from the interelectrode area to a nozzle for directing and releasing the NO-containing gas flow from the device and a mechanism to adjust a relative position between the anode and the cathode to produce varying concentrations of NO. In addition, the device may include one or more features for interconnecting the various components to ensure proper and consistent assembly of the device.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating a biologic object includes a device for forming NO-containing gas flow to treat the biologic object and a plasma cooling mechanism coupled to a distal end of the device. The plasma cooling mechanism may include a cooling member and/or a cooling apparatus. The cooling member is coupled to a distal end of the device and includes a fluid conduit and a cooling chamber surrounding the fluid conduit. The cooling apparatus is coupled to a distal end of the cooling member so that the NO-containing gas flow travels from a discharge aperture formed in the device through the fluid conduit and passed the cooling apparatus before reaching the biologic object.

Abstract: The present invention generally pertains to an apparatus and a method for uroflowmetry. Uroflowmetry can generally be defined as the collection and measurement of a patient's urination for the purpose of determining urine flow data that are necessary to analyze the patient's urination by comparing the patient's urine flow data to standardized urine flow data of healthy individuals. The present invention allows medical professionals to non-invasively diagnose a patient's urination by collecting, measuring and computing urine flow data to determine if any medical conditions and symptoms that affect urine flow are present. The within invention is designed and constructed in such a manner as to allow for the collection and measurement of urination to be done quickly, easily and at a reduced cost.
