    摘要: Medical devices and methods employing semipermeable materials, such as acrylic copolymers, polyurethane isocyanate, and other biocompatible semipermeable polymers, are disclosed for use as guidance channels in regenerating nerves. The devices can be formed by tubular semipermeable conduits adapted to receive the ends of a severed or damaged nerve. The tubular conduits define lumens through which axons can regenerate to restore motor and/or sensory functions. The guidance materials are chosen such that they are capable of allowing the diffusion of nutrients and other metabolites to the regenerating nerve site while excluding fibroblasts and other scar-forming cells. In particular, tubular channels which have a smooth inner surface and longitudinally oriented trabeculae result in significantly larger regenerated nerve cables and higher numbers of regenerated myelinated axons.

    摘要: Un procédé de réduction de l'incidence de métastases chez des patients victimes de tumeurs consiste à administrer de la forskoline ou ses analogues, puissants inhibiteurs de l'agglutination de thrombocytes. Les composés de forskoline sont définis généralement comme diterpénoïdes de labdane et présentent la formule générale (I). Ces composés peuvent être administrés seuls ou en combinaison avec d'autres inhibiteurs de l'agglutination de thrombocytes.

    摘要: A catheter (12) including a support (40) suitable for insertion into a body organ, a transducer (50) carried by the support, the transducer (50) including a flexible piezoelectric polymeric membrane (52), and a pair of surface electrodes (54, 56) mounted on the membrane (52), the support (40) including a rigid portion defining a flexure cavity (58) inside the catheter (12), the membrane (52) being mounted on the rigid support portion (40) to permit free flexing of the membrane (52) into and out of the cavity (58), one surface of the membrane (52) communicating with the cavity (58), the other surface of the membrane (52) being exposed to the exterior of the catheter (12) to receive and flex in response to pressure variations in the organ, and means (60, 62) for transmitting from the electrodes (54, 56) to external circuitry electrical signals produced by said flexure.
