Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a miniature microscope capable of performing in vivo, real-time imaging of multiple organ sites in awake and behaving animals (e.g. rodents). A microscope according to the present invention includes multiple optical contrast mechanisms (i.e. contrast arising from neural, hemodynamic and other physiological components). Exemplary contrast mechanisms include, but are not limited to fluorescence, hemoglobin level, deoxyhemoglobin level, and blood flow. The microscope is fully adaptable to in vitro and ex vivo imaging, can be customized to concurrently image at variable magnifications, conduct optogenetic/electrical/chemical stimulations, drug delivery, microdialysis, accompanied by electrical signal recording, wireless image transmission and charging.

Abstract: One embodiment enables detection of MI/I and emerging infarction in an implantable system. A plurality of devices may be used to gather and interpret data from within the heart, from the heart surface, and/or from the thoracic cavity. The apparatus may further alert the patient and/or communicate the condition to an external device or medical caregiver. Additionally, the implanted apparatus may initiate therapy of MI/I and emerging infarction.

Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method of monitoring the heart of a subject for evidence of at least one of myocardial ischemia and infarction (MI/I). The method includes sensing an intra-cardiac electrical signal from at least one lead positioned in a subject. The method also includes detecting MI/I using at least one of the QRS portion of the intra-cardiac electrical signal and the ST portion of the intra-cardiac electrical signal. The detecting MI/I includes using an integer coefficient filter to extract MI/I information from the intra-cardiac electrical signal.

Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods. One embodiment includes a method for imaging an endometrial cavity, including acquiring a plurality of images using an imaging system. A first part of the imaging system is positioned within the endometrial cavity. At least portions of two or more of the images are combined into a representation of at least a portion of the endometrial cavity. The combining at least portions of two of the images may include determining any motion of the first part of the imaging system, between the two or more of the images. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Devices and methods are described. One apparatus includes a stent including a sensor coupled thereto, the sensor including a material that oscillates when subjected to an applied magnetic field. The material may include at least one material selected from magnetoelastic materials and magnetorestrictive materials. The apparatus may further include a system adapted to monitor the sensor, the system including a generator adapted to apply a magnetic field that generates physical oscillations in the sensor, and a monitor adapted to detect magnetic fluctuation generated from the physical oscillations in the sensor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
