Abstract: A detachable and adjustable chair canopy is configured to provide shade for a seated user while allowing a chair to be used in both upright and reclined positions. The canopy includes a first frame attachable to the chair back by tool-less clamp assemblies and a second frame supporting a canopy panel pivotally connected to the first frame. Each clamp assembly includes a resilient C-shaped clamp and a locking hub that permits rotation of the canopy relative to the chair and selective locking at a desired orientation. A pair of pivot couplers are slidingly mounted on the first frame and pivotally connected to struts extending to the second frame, each pivot coupler having a hand-operated toggle lever for selective locking. The canopy can be folded to a compact stowed position behind the chair back without removal and reoriented to maintain shading coverage across multiple reclining positions of the chair.

Abstract: A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device for performing automatic defibrillation and chest compressions on a patient and method for using same. The CPR device having a balloon configured to inflate/deflate, a belt configured to securely strap around a chest of a patient, a pair of electrode pads configured to deliver shock energy from a shock source, and, optionally, a pulse oximeter sensor. The CPR device is in electrical communication with a CPR defibrillator/ECG computer system that is configured to control the CPR device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to intracorporeal gas exchange systems and methods in conditions associated with hypoxia and hypercarbia. The present disclosure envisages an intracorporeal oxygenation system comprising a blood oxygenator having a blood compartment and a gas compartment. The blood and gas compartments are separated by a gas permeable barrier so as to allow exchange of carbon dioxide in blood in the blood compartment with oxygen in the gas compartment. The system comprises a catheter device for insertion in a blood vessel of human comprising an interior portion and an exterior portion wherein the interior portion (100a) comprises an annular housing, a plurality of capillary conduit, a pumping device, an air sensing device, a blood sensor and a collar. The present disclosure also relates to a method of oxygenating a deoxygenated blood in a human and also to a method for treating a human suffering from hypoxia or hypercarbia.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. The compounds are useful as colony stimulating factor-1 receptor inhibitors (“CSF-1R inhibitors”).

Abstract: A method and device for the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The device includes a cutting device for resection of a thickened myocardium. The operator positions the cutting device adjacent to the myocardium that is to be resected and then slides a tubular blade within an outer shell of the cutting device to resect the septum.

Abstract: An umbrella has a lower pole and an upper pole and a fabric. The lower pole includes screw threads. A spring clip in an inverted V-shaped configuration has outwardly extending projections removably coupling together the upper pole and the lower pole. A handle is removably coupled to the lower pole to twist the lower pole. Each rib of a plurality of ribs has an interior end and an exterior end. The interior ends of the ribs are coupled to the upper pole. The fabric overlies the ribs. Each tip of a plurality of tips has an upper part and a lower part. Each upper part has a tubular recess receiving the exterior end of an associated rib. The periphery of the fabric is secured between the upper part and the lower part.

Abstract: The umbrella includes a shaft, a lower canopy having a central opening, and an upper canopy thereabove over the opening. A first supporting assembly includes ribs, stretchers, and a runner and is connected to the shaft and first and second canopies to operably move the canopies between closed and open positions, wherein an inner portion of the upper canopy moves with the ribs. A second supporting assembly is connected to the ribs of the first assembly within the opening and connected to an outer portion of the upper canopy for operably moving the outer portion of the upper canopy between concave and convex positions while the lower canopy and inner portion of the upper canopy are retained in the concave position, such that the outer portion of the upper canopy covers the opening when concave to restrict air passage and exposes the opening when convex to permit air passage.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for treating congestive heart failure that restores kidney renal functions by artificial perfusion of at least one kidney. In one aspect, a catheter inserted into the aorta of the patient has an outlet port that supplies the patient's blood obtained from a patient's aorta into an adjoining renal artery of the patient to perfuse the kidney. The catheter comprises a rotor housed inside a portion of the catheter to supply the blood to the kidney at a desired pressure. The restoration of kidney function assists the heart by removing excess fluid, urine and toxin from the patient, and by normalizing the patient's renin-angiotensin system and other neurohormonal substances.
