Abstract: A lung device for restoring lung elasticity includes fixation members and a connecting member. The fixation member includes a first radially expandable fixation member and a second radially expandable fixation member. The first radially expandable fixation member defines a first profile in an expanded state and a lumen. The second radially expandable fixation member defines a second profile in an expanded state and a lumen. The connecting member extends between and connects the first and second fixation members. The lung elasticity restoring device is capable of reversibly extendable between an inspiration configuration and an expiration configuration, may be extendable to the inspiration configuration, and biased to the expiration configuration by the connecting member.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method for treating a cancerous tumor located within a subject. The method can include applying one or more electric fields at or near a site of the cancerous tumor, where the cancerous tumor can include a cancerous cell population. The one or more applied electric fields are effective to delay mitosis and cause mitotic synchronization within a proportion of the cancerous cell population. The method can include removing the one or more electric fields to allow mitosis to proceed within the cancerous cell population. The method can include administering a chemotherapeutic agent to the subject after the one or more electric fields have been removed. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to methods, devices, and systems for the treatment of cancer tumor by combining TTF electrical field therapy with other types of cancer therapies. In an embodiment, a method for providing cancer therapy is included, the method applying one or more TTF electrical fields at or near a site of a cancerous tumor, a surgical excision site, and/or a targeted therapy site of a subject and administering a non-electrical field based cancer therapy to the subject, wherein applying the TTF electrical fields is performed before, after, and/or simultaneously with administering the non-electrical field based cancer therapy. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: Metabolic disorders such as Type 2 diabetes may be treated using a system that is adapted to modulate an hepatic neural plexus of a patient. The system includes a stimulation device adapted for implantation near the patient's hepatic neural plexus and to provide mechanical energy to the patient's hepatic neural plexus, a source of excitation energy adapted to provide excitation energy to the stimulation device, and a controller that is operably coupled to the source of excitation energy and is adapted to control the source of excitation energy.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a medical device for treating a cancerous tumor, the medical device having a first lead including a first wire and second wire; a second lead can include a third wire and fourth wire; and a first electrode in electrical communication with the first wire, a second electrode in electrical communication with the second wire, a third electrode in electrical communication with the third wire, and a fourth electrode in electrical communication with the fourth wire. The first and third electrodes form a supply electrode pair configured to deliver one or more electric fields to the cancerous tumor. The second and fourth electrodes form a sensing electrode pair configured to measure an impedance of the cancerous tumor independent of an impedance of the first electrode, the first wire, the third electrode, the third wire, and components in electrical communication therewith. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, a retrieval catheter assembly for retrieving an intragastric balloon may include a tubular member configured to pass through a wall of the intragastric balloon. The retrieval catheter assembly may also include a retrieval member coupled to the tubular member and movable between an undeployed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the undeployed configuration the retrieval member may be substantially aligned with the tubular member. In the deployed configuration at least a portion of the retrieval member may diverge from the tubular member and may be configured to engage the wall of the intragastric balloon.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of devices and methods for treating a lung including, for example, treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are disclosed. A device may include a plurality of media and a deployment member. The media may be configured for deployment into one or more airways of a lung. The deployment member may be configured for insertion into or proximate the one or more airways of the lung. Also, the deployment member may be configured to deploy the plurality of media substantially simultaneously. Further, the plurality of media may be configured to be retained within the one or more airways of the lung.
