    摘要: Devices and methods are provided for temporarily maintaining access to a body cavity in a targeted tissue region within a patient's body. One embodiment of the catheter device includes an elongated shaft having a proximal shaft section which is flexible enough to be folded or coiled into a configuration for deployment within the patient. An alternate embodiment includes a catheter device having one or more detachable proximal shaft sections and having at least one one-way valve to restrict fluid flow of inflation fluid to flow to the balloon. After deployment of the catheter device completely within the patient, the opening through which the catheter device is deployed is closed, e.g. by sutures, adhesives and the like to minimize infection at the site. Within a few days or weeks after the tissue has been evaluated for cancer, the temporary catheter device may be removed from the patient. If cancer or pre-cancer cells are found in the specimen removed from the cavity, then a radiation balloon catheter or other irradiation device can be inserted into the patient to irradiate tissue surrounding the biopsy cavity to ensure that cancer cells within the tissue surrounding the cavity are killed.

    摘要: A stand for supporting one end of an elongate structural member, such as a utility pole, a distance off of the ground includes first and second pairs of legs and a cradle configured to engage a circumference of the elongate structural member. The first and second pairs of legs are movable relative to one another, from a nested configuration to a working configuration. In the nested configuration, the second legs are positioned generally between the first legs so that the stand has a generally flat profile that is convenient for storage and transporting the stand to a work site. The legs can be moved to the working configuration when it is desired to support a utility pole or other elongate structural member thereon.

    摘要: The invention is directed to an intravaginal staple for occluding a female patient's uterine artery in the treatment of a uterine disorder such as fibroids, DUB, PPH, uterine bleeding after caesarian delivery and the like. The intravaginal staple includes an occluding bar having a pressure applying surface and at least one and preferably two tissue penetrating legs which are provided with protuberances which help to retain the staple leg within the penetrated tissue. At least part of the staple is preferably formed of bioabsorbable material so that it will in part self destruct at a preselected time period by separation of staple components caused by the bioabsorption of a bioabsorbable portion of the staple. The staple deployment system may be provided with elongated handles and staple deploying mechanisms on the distal ends of the handles to drive the legs of the staple into the tissue bundle about the uterine artery so that pressure applied by the occlusion bar occludes the uterine artery.

    摘要: A PBI compound includes imidazole nitrogens at least a portion of which are substituted with a moiety containing a carbonyl group, the substituted imidazole nitrogens being bonded to carbon of the carbonyl group. At least 85% of the nitrogens may be substituted. The carbonyl-containing moiety may include RCO—, where R is alkoxy or haloalkyl. The PBI compound may exhibit a first temperature marking an onset of weight loss corresponding to reversion of the substituted PBI that is less than a second temperature marking an onset of decomposition of an otherwise identical PBI compound without the substituted moiety. The PBI compound may be included in separatory media. A substituted PBI synthesis method may include providing a parent PBI in a less than 5 wt % solvent solution. Substituting may use more than 5 equivalents in relation to the imidazole nitrogens to be substituted.

    摘要: Provided is a method, system, and program for processing Input/Output (I/O) requests to a storage network including at least one storage device and at least two adaptors, wherein each adaptor is capable of communicating I/O requests to the at least one storage device. An error is detected in a system including a first adaptor, wherein the first adaptor is capable of communicating on the network after the error is detected. In response to detecting the error, a master switch timer is started that is less than a system timeout period if the first adaptor is the master. An error recovery procedure in the system including the first adaptor would be initiated after the system timeout period has expired. An operation is initiated to designate another adaptor in the storage network as the master if the first adaptor is the master in response to detecting an expiration of the master switch timer.
