Abstract: Various methods, systems, and devices for treating tissue ablation are disclosed. Several embodiments disclosed herein pertain to methods of treating tumors, systems used for irradiating tissue and tumors with electromagnetic radiation, components and devices of that system, and kits for providing systems used for irradiating tissue and tumors with electromagnetic radiation. In several embodiments, the system can provide sub-ablative infrared radiation that can be absorbed by nanoparticles. In several embodiments, the nanoparticles absorb the radiation converting it into heat energy. In several embodiments, though the infrared radiation itself may be sub-ablative, the heat energy generated by the nanoparticles can be sufficient to cause thermal coagulation, hyperthermia, and/or tissue ablation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a game comprising a marker, a first tossable object, and at least a second tossable object, at least one of the marker, the first tossable object, and the second tossable object providing an outcome determinative means, the outcome of the game determinable based on the position of the first object and the at least second object with respect to the marker, and in conjunction with the determinative means. Determinative means may include indicia or other means for determining the outcome of a round of the game.
