    Abstract: A respiration implant system for a patient with impaired breathing includes one or more temperature sensors configured for placement into an inner wall tissue along an airway passage of the patient and configured to measure temperature in the inner wall tissue in order to produce a temperature signal based on the measured temperature. The system further includes a pacing processor configured to receive the temperature signal from the temperature sensor and to generate a respiration pacing signal based on the temperature signal that is synchronized with a breathing cycle of the patient and a stimulating electrode configured to deliver the respiration pacing signal from the pacing processor to respiration neural tissue of the patient to facilitate breathing in the patient. The respiration implant system may be used as a laryngeal pacemaker system.

    Abstract: A myographic probe for detecting an electrical signal produced by a muscle and for reducing the influence of electrode disturbances. The probe includes electrodes and a disturbance reducing interface covering each electrode thereby segragating the electrodes from the muscle. Electrode disturbances include problems such as those related to the motion of the electrodes, changes in the pressure applied to the electrode, and/or intermittent contact with sourrounding tissue. The disturbance reducing interface is ion permeable and is, when dry, less conductive than the electrodes. The disturbance reducing interface may comprise a matrix of permeable material such as a mesh, foam, or other porous materials. The probe may be in the form of a catheter and be advantageously used in a human cavity such as the oesophagus. Another advantage of the invention is the possibility of using electrodes which are different from conventional wound wire electrodes.

    Abstract: A method and a catheter for passing a therapeutic electric current to, or sensing electric signals from, the body of a patient. The catheter is inserted into the esophagus of the patient, temporarily sealing a space surrounding a portion of the catheter containing one or more electrodes within the esophagus wall. The space is filled with an electrically conductive liquid (electrolyte). Then, an electric current is passed through electrodes to the conductive liquid between the esophagus wall and an electrode carried on the catheter in spaced relation from the esophagus wall or to other electrodes in the heart or body surface.
