Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to extracorporeal blood processing or other processing of fluids. Volumetric fluid balance, a required element of many such processes, may be achieved with multiple pumps or other proportioning or balancing devices which are to some extent independent of each other. This need may arise in treatments that involve multiple fluids. Safe and secure mechanisms to ensure fluid balance in such systems are described.

Abstract: A medical treatment system is configured to output a predefined test pattern and to receive the signal by way of a microphone in order to test the volume and quality of the audio output in order to ensure the output audio signals effective to wake a sleeping patient. The failure of a processor to confirm the volume and fidelity of the audio output as well as the timeliness of the test pattern causes the processor to deny the resumption of a treatment and to generate an error signal.

Abstract: Provided are allyl tryptamines, such as asymmetric allyl tryptamines. In some embodiments, such compounds modulate the activity of monoamine receptors and/or monoamine transporters. Also provided are methods for the preparation of allyl tryptamines and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Methods of using the allyl tryptamines, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, are provided. In some embodiments, allyl tryptamines are used to treat CNS disorders, such as mental health conditions and neurodegenerative disorders, or are used for the improvement of mental health or functioning.

Abstract: A treatment device system includes a treatment machine for generating a custom peritoneal dialysis solution and has at least one fluid conveyor. The treatment machine has a controller with a first memory and is configured to produce the custom peritoneal dialysis solution by causing the fluid conveyor to mix purified water and at least one concentrate. A water purifier is in fluid communication with, and provides the purified water to, the treatment machine. The water purifier has an internal central controller to control preparation of the purified water, the internal central controller having a second memory. Further, the controller of the treatment machine transmits data, based on a prescription sent from a server to the treatment machine, via a wired or wireless control line to the internal central controller of the water purifier.

Abstract: Fluid channel sealing devices, frangible seals, fluid circuits, associated controllers and methods of using the same are provided for controlling fluid distribution using a reconfigurable blocking element having first and second portions to establish a first configuration free of any open channels such that fluid is prevented from flowing through the channel and a second configuration where the first and second portions are separated to establish an open channel and allow fluid to pass.

Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically removing and replacing components, including a vacuum vessel, from a tokamak. The inventors have recognized that schemes for automatically removing and replacing components from a tokamak should preferably be simple (e.g., using proven equipment to perform a series of non-mechanically complex tasks) and have a very low risk of damaging components. Techniques described herein may include splitting a tokamak into multiple pieces, separating the pieces, and removing the now separate pieces of the vacuum vessel from within the pieces of the tokamak. A new vacuum vessel can be inserted in multiple pieces and the tokamak rejoined to complete the replacement process.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein to provide rule-based reconciliation of records. Specifically, rules are utilized to reconcile one or more records and identify duplicates therein. Once duplicate records are identified, one or more ranking sets can be utilized to identify which of the duplicate records to write to the system.

Abstract: Peritoneal dialysis admixing and/or treatment devices, methods, and systems are disclosed. The systems, methods, and devices provide high-level guarantees of sterility and employ relatively inexpensive disposable components to provide pumping. Disclosed systems, methods, and devices and features thereof are adapted for point of use generation of medicament. In particular, admixing systems that employ independently-replaceable long term concentrate are disclosed. Features are directed to assurance of sterility and accurate admixing of water and concentrate to generate ready-to-use medicaments and other benefits.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for procedurally-based decision support using ontology-based classification of database records. The procedural decision support can facilitate extraction of contextually relevant data from a database. The data may be formatted for compatibility with a knowledge-based data library using one or more scripts and populated in the library as an entity. Classification of the entity can be reasoned using the available data. One or more classifications of the entity may be returned to the procedural decision support to facilitate computation of a recommendation.

Abstract: A device for detecting spatial differences in fluid level changes in a tissue of a patient may include a support structure for securing the device to a body part of the patient, a processing element operably connected to the support structure, a wireless networking interface operably connected to the support structure and in communication with the processing element and an external computing device via a network, a first transmission module operably connected to the support structure and in communication with the processing element, a second transmission module and a third transmission module operably connected to the support structure and in communication with the processing element. When activated, the first transmission module transmits a first time varying magnetic field through the tissue of the patient. The second and third transmission modules, which are spatially separated from one another, receive first and second versions, respectively, of the first time varying magnetic field.

Abstract: A pressure measurement system includes a pressure pod with two chambers separated by a diaphragm such that a deformation/movement of the diaphragm is indicative of a difference between the pressures of the two chambers. Such deformation/movement is detected by a device that has no physical contact with the diaphragm, for example, by an optical detector that detects a change in the shape of the diaphragm or a movement of a protrusion on the diaphragm.
