Abstract: A method of determining and treating disordered tissue in a patient incites energy signal generation from disordered tissue. An energy sensor structure obtains an energy signal from tissue of a patient. The obtained energy signal is compared in a processor circuit to a known energy signal of the same tissue under normal functioning of the tissue. The tissue is identified as disordered tissue when the comparing step determines that the obtained energy signal is different from the known energy signal. The disordered tissue is localized within the patient via the energy signal. A bodily disorder caused by the localized disordered tissue is diagnosed by an AI module. The bodily disorder is then treated.

Abstract: A method of predicting successful treatment of disorders of bodily tissue includes obtaining, with a device, energy signal data from the bodily tissue of a patient. The obtained energy signal data is analyzed in a controller to determine an activity score value associated with the bodily tissue. The activity score value is compared, in the controller, to a threshold value, with the threshold value being based on energy signal data from the same bodily tissue of normal, disease free patients. Based on the comparison, a probability of success of the specific treatment for the specific disease is predicted in the controller prior to treating the bodily tissue. A system for performing the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A balloon structure includes a proximal balloon portion having a first internal volume, a distal balloon portion having a second internal volume, and a central balloon portion disposed between and joined with the proximal and distal balloon portions. The central balloon portion has a third internal volume isolated from the first and second internal volumes. A first lumen is associated with the third internal volume to direct pressure to the third internal volume for inflation of the central balloon portion. At least one second lumen is associated with the first and second internal volumes to direct pressure to the first and second internal volumes for inflation of the proximal balloon portion and the distal balloon portion. Whereby, upon inflation, the central balloon portion dilates, or delivers other treatments to tissue in the passage, with the proximal and distal balloon portions limiting movement of the balloon structure in the passage.

Abstract: A hypochlorous acid dispensing system having a first cartridge or compartment containing pure hypochlorous acid. A second cartridge or compartment, separate from the first cartridge or compartment, contains a substance that can be mixed with or used with the pure hypochlorous acid. A dispensing structure is associated with each of the first and second cartridges or compartments and is constructed and arranged to cause dispensing of the pure hypochlorous acid and the substance separately or simultaneously. A kit including at least one of the first cartridges and at last one of the second cartridges is also provided.

Abstract: A method treats a consumable or non-consumable plant to reduce or eliminate bacterial, viruses, and fungi on the plant. The method sprays hypochlorous water onto a growing plant. At least a portion of the sprayed plant is harvested. The harvested portion of the plant is exposed to hypochlorous water. The hypochlorous water exposed portion of the plant is permitted to dry. A product prepared by the above process is also provided.

Abstract: A method identifies an adhesion in a human subject by obtaining a sample of a bodily fluid derived from the subject, and assaying the sample for activity of a biomarker specific for an adhesion in internal tissue of the subject to thereby determine whether the subject has an internal adhesion. Another method identifies an adhesion in a human subject by administering an imaging agent to the subject with the imaging agent identifying a biomarker specific for an adhesion in internal tissue of the subject, and utilizing imaging equipment to locate the adhesion identified by the imaging agent.

Abstract: A method monitors a property of tissue of an internal bodily organ that is not functioning properly or that is threated by disease. The method monitors, in real time, the property of tissue of the internal bodily organ by contacting the tissue. Based on the monitoring step, the method adjusts the property of the tissue to improve functioning of the internal bodily organ, to help prevent further damage to the tissue, to prevent death of the tissue, or to help the tissue recover from a diseased state. A device for monitoring and adjusting a property of tissue of an internal bodily organ is also provided.
