    摘要: The invention generally relates to internal (e.g., implantable, insertable, etc.) drug delivery devices which contain the following: (a) one or more sources of one or more therapeutic agents; (b) one or more first electrodes, (c) one or more second electrodes and (d) one or more power sources for applying voltages across the first and second electrodes. The power sources may be adapted, for example, to promote electrically assisted therapeutic agent delivery within a subject, including electroporation and/or iontophoresis. In one aspect of the invention, the first and second electrodes are adapted to have tissue of a subject positioned between them upon deployment of the medical device within the subject, such that an electric field may be generated, which is directed into the tissue. Furthermore, the therapeutic agent sources are adapted to introduce the therapeutic agents into the electric field. In another aspect, the therapeutic agent sources are polymeric regions that contain one or more types of ion-conductive polymers and one or more types of charged therapeutic agents. In yet another aspect, the therapeutic agent sources are polymeric regions that contain one or more types of electrically conductive polymers and one or more types of charged therapeutic agents.

    摘要: An apparatus, system and method of a resonator device with an adjustable capacitor for allowing the resonance frequency (F) of the resonator device to continue to be matched to the Larmor frequency of the MRI system. The resonator device includes an inductor coil, a conductive member, a sleeve having first and second sockets that receive at least portions of the inductor coil and the conductive member as electrodes to provide a capacitor structure. Dielectric material can be positioned between at least the first and second sockets, where changes in the cross sectional area defined by the induction coil cause changes in the capacitance value (C) as one or more of the electrodes move within the socket. Changes in the inductance and the capacitance values allow for the resonance frequency (F) of the resonator device to continue to be matched to the Larmor frequency of the MRI system.

    摘要: Endoprostheses include an endoprosthesis wall that includes a surface layer that includes a metallic material and that defines a plurality of pores. A therapeutic agent fills one or more pores of the surface layer and a non-polymeric coating, covers the therapeutic agent in the one or more pores. The endoprostheses can, for example, deliver a therapeutic agent, such as a drug, in a controlled manner over an extended period of time.
