摘要： The invention is directed to an intravaginal uterine artery occlusion device for treating uterine disorders such as fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage and the like. A occlusion device has a cervical receptacle or cap with an open distal end for receiving the patient's uterine cervix and an elongated shaft having a distal end secured to the closed proximal end of the cervical receptacle and an inner lumen extending to the distal end of the elongated shaft. The patient's uterine cervix is held within the interior of the receptacle by the application of a vacuum to the interior of the receptacle through the inner lumen of the shaft or otherwise, while the leading edge(s) of the cervical receptacle press against the patient's vaginal fornix to occlude an underlying or adjacent uterine artery. At least one blood flow sensor may be provided on the leading edge of the receptacle to aid in locating a uterine artery and to monitor blood flow through the located uterine artery.

摘要： A device for continuously monitoring a user's arterial blood pressure has a sensor adapted to continuously detect the blood pressure and to generate signals representative thereof by contact with an external surface of the user's body at a location adjacent an artery. The sensor is securely held in operable contact with the user's body at the location. A microprocessor interprets the signals generated by the sensor to determine actual arterial blood pressure. The sensor includes a projecting portion for detecting and transmitting changes in blood pressure, wherein the projecting portion is adapted to effect at least partial occlusion of the artery at the location.

摘要： A device and method for measuring the anisotropic mechanical properties of tissue is provided. The device comprises a flexural resonator driven by a transducer (4) to oscillate at a plurality of angles of oscillation while in contact with a tissue to be analyzed. The resonance frequencies and resonance peak widths for the flexural resonator are measured at each of the plurality of angles of oscillation. Based on these values and the free state resonance frequency of the oscillating flexural resonator, anisotropic mechanical properties of the tissue are derived. A pressure normalizing element is utilized to ensure secure and standardized contact between the flexural resonator and the tissue during the measurements. The method of the present invention provides for determining these anisotropic mechanical properties by measuring the free state resonance frequency of the flexural resonator, measuring the resonance frequencies and resonance peak widths for the resonator at a plurality of angles of oscillation while in contact with a tissue, calculating the mechanical properties corresponding to each of the angles of oscillation, and displaying these values in a useful manner. The method may be implemented as software by a microprocessor (30).

摘要： A fetal pulse oximetry probe (200) has clusters of light-transmissive bumps (100, 300) over the light source (110) and the light detector (120) on the surface of the probe. The probe is usually attached to the fetus's head. The clusters part the fetal hair and penetrate other light-attenuating organic materials on the head. The clusters thus transmit a more intense light signal. To reduce the amount of the signal shunting between them, the clusters also may be separated by additional opaque (light-shielding) bumps (190).

摘要： A system for evaluating nervous system function of a subject including generally an accelerometer sensor, a stimulus electrode assembly, and a portable device to which the sensor and electrode assembly are connected. The sensor measures the magnitude of the (stimulus evoked) movement of a body part of the subject along at least one axis of three dimensional space. The device contains electrical circuits for processing data from the sensor, generating stimuli to the electrode assembly, and timing both the extraction of sensor information and the delivery of stimuli. The sensor has a suction chamber for attaching the sensor to the desired body part site by static suction. To evaluate the nervous system function the magnitude of the monitored sensed (acceleration) movement is compared with a control value. When the nervous system being evaluated is the peripheral nerve of one side of the face, the control value can be determined by evoking and measuring movement on the opposite side of the face. For this embodiment, two pairs of electrodes are attached to a headband which holds them simultaneously against opposite sides of the face and a switch communicates the desired pair with the portable device.
