Abstract: The present disclosure relates to chemical compositions, kits, and apparatuses and methods for using these compositions, kits and apparatuses in various assays.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a testing device for testing a subject's susceptibility to injury. The testing device may comprise a base for supporting a frame and an actuator that is supported by the frame, the actuator is configured to impart a physical perturbation upon or proximal a target body-part of the subject. The testing device may also comprise a movement-sensing component for attaching to the tested body-part, the movement-sensing component for detecting the subject's movement after the physical perturbation of the target body-part. The present disclosure also provides a system that includes the testing device and a processor for operating software applications for monitoring and tracking the subject's test data. The present disclosure also provides a method for operating the testing device and system. The present disclosure also provides an apparatus for modifying the stability of a joint of a subject.

Abstract: A portable, modular transcranial magnetic stimulation device comprises a power supply unit, an energy storage unit, a charge recovery unit, a control unit, and at least one stimulation coil unit. The power supply unit generates specified voltages from a low voltage supply. The energy storage unit stores voltage received from the power supply unit until it is needed to generate a stimulation pulse and preferably includes discharge circuitry for discharging the stored voltage. The stimulation coil unit stores energy received from the energy storage unit as a strong current for application of magnetic stimulation to a patient. The charge recovery unit converts energy stored as current in the stimulation coil unit back to energy stored as voltage in the energy storage unit. The control unit controls the operation of the power supply unit, the energy storage unit, and the charge recovery unit. Biphasic, multiphasic, and monophasic stimulators may be implemented.
