    摘要: A simple, biocompatible system and procedure for generating nitric oxide (NO) is described. A mixture of powdered sodium nitrite, ascorbic acid, and maleic acid (or another organic acid of adequate strength) immediately generates nitric oxide (NO) on treatment with water. To slow down the NO generation, one may prepare an ointment from a nonaqueous medium (petrolatum, Vaseline™) and the three powdered ingredients, which on being applied topically on the skin will release NO as water permeates through this medium; alternatively, one may convert the aqueous sodium nitrite solution into a gel with hydroxyethylcellulose (or other gel-forming compound) and combine this gel with another gel obtained from aqueous ascorbic and maleic acids with hydroxyethylcellulose for topical application (on intact skin, burns intra-cavity, burns, intra-cavity, etc.). The two gels may be admixed immediately before use (possibly from a single container with separate chambers and dual nozzle, via pushing or squeezing the two gels through the nozzle), or may be applied in sandwich-like fashion (possibly as a transdermal patch) for further slowing down the delivery of NO.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is presented for recording uterine electrical activity from the surface of the abdomen or vagina for the purpose of diagnosing contractile patterns of the uterus in pregnant and nonpregnant patients. The present invention provides data analysis techniques for analyzing electromyographic data measured from the surface of a patient to characterize uterine activity. The method and apparatus described include algorithms for the systematic analysis of electrical signals recorded from the abdominal surface. Such processing comprises integration of signals, frequency spectral analysis, 3-dimensional power density mesh plots, vector analysis, fast wavelet transform, and joint time-frequency characteristics. These techniques and apparatus are appropriate for use in a clinic or through communication lines for use as a remote or home uterine monitoring system. As such, uterine electrical activity may be measured at a remote location and processed at a central facility through on-line communications channels, such as a telephone line. The techniques and apparatus disclosed are also useful in predicting successful treatment for cases where either the uterus fails to develop forceful contractions at term or begins to contract pre-term.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention provide a cervical, fetal-membrane, and amniotic examination and assessment device for use with a computer and a method for examining a cervix with the device. The device can include a probe with a camera and a reference laser system, a cable coupling the probe to the computer, and a device program executable by the computer. One method includes positioning a laser to illuminate a reference dot on a target area of the cervix, calculating a distance between the probe and the cervix using the reference laser system, capturing images of the target area at a desired distance using the camera, identifying features of the cervix, and measuring and quantifying boundaries of the features using the desired distance and an area of the reference dot in the images.
