Abstract: Internal cervical exams during labor pose multiple challenges, including infection risk, subjectivity, invasiveness, and discomfort. A monitoring system described herein enables non-invasive and accurate measurement of cervical dilation and assessment of the baby's station. By inserting a narrow linear ultrasound probe through the working channel, high-resolution ultrasound images of the cervix can be obtained, eliminating the need for painful and subjective exams, reducing infection risk, and enhancing patient comfort. Moreover, the ultrasound capability allows for potential monitoring of maternal and fetal blood oxygenation levels, providing a comprehensive picture of fetal well-being.

Abstract: In a general aspect, methods and devices are provided for using mass spectrometry to identify endometriosis. In some aspects, a fixed or discrete volume of a solvent is applied to a tissue site including possible endometriosis tissue. The applied solvent is collected to obtain a liquid sample. The liquid sample is subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. The liquid sample is collected from a tissue site in vivo during a medical procedure. The mass spectrometry data are analyzed to identify whether the tissue site comprises endometriosis.

Abstract: The present invention features an optical detection system for SARS-CoV-2 or other pathogens, which includes a specialty mask. The specialty mask incorporates a SERS nanopatch for accumulating pathogenic particles from a wearers breath. When the SERS nanopatch receives incident NIR light, backscattered light from the SERS nanopatch is detected by a receiver and analyzed for a Raman spectral shift. Detection of the Raman spectral signature from the SERS nanopatch allows for determination if SARS-CoV-2 or another pathogen is present. In addition to the mask with a nanostructured surface for collecting pathogenic material, the system includes a laser source directed at the nanostructured surface, a detection system to collect backscattered light, a spectral analysis system to detect Raman shifted light, and an analysis system for determining if SARS-CoV-2 or another pathogen is present. AI image processing may be used to steer the laser beam safely to the nanopatch, avoiding eye contact.
