摘要:
The present invention describes several methods based on the combination of device setting change with patient postural change to make fast and reliable hydrocephalus valve adjustment. The monitoring and the analysis of the pressure gradient values during these changes allow the tuning of the device, the characterization of a patient physiological characteristic and/or the detection of a failure.

An apparatus for the treatment of psycho-physical ailments (1) is provided, comprising: stress means (2) of the human body (U), suitable to apply to the human body (U) predetermined stresses, and first measurement means (3), suitable to measure the condition of the stress means (2), second measurement means (4) of the reactance of the human body (U), control means (5), functionally connected to said first and second measurement means (3 and 4), and suitable to correlate values of said second measurement means (4) to values measured at the same moment by said first measurement means (3).
摘要:
Systems and methods for delivering stimuli to a subject that prompt the subject to fall asleep use multiple parameters that are based on measured signals related to a patient's brain activity, for example obtained through electroencephalography (EEG). The parameters indicate amplitude in different frequency bands, e.g. high-frequency brain activity and low-frequency brain activity. A stimulus, e.g. auditory stimulus, is delivered to the subject such that the intensity of the stimulus is adjusted based on (changes in) the multiple parameters.

Methods of using a drainage system in accordance with the invention are also provided, as well as kits.
摘要:
The invention relates to a therapy appliance (1), in particular for use for administering medicaments by nasal inhalation, with a breathing tube (4), on the input side of which is attached an aerosol generator (8) connected to a medicament container (10), which aerosol generator (8) is connected to a control unit (14). According to the invention, the breathing tube (4) is attached at the end to a nasal applicator.
摘要:
A pressurized flow of breathable gas is delivered to the airway of a subject in accordance with a therapy regimen. The therapy regimen calls for maintenance of an average tidal volume. The therapy ensures that the subject breaths at a therapeutic breath rate. The breath rate may be determined dynamically based on breathing of the subject early on in a therapy session and/or based on a detected wakefulness of the subject. Inspiration for spontaneous and non-spontaneous breaths may be supported at different levels. The therapy regimen further maintains a beneficial positive end expiratory pressure, to reduce respiratory obstructions and/or for other purposes.
