    摘要: The present invention is directed to methods and systems for the treatment of inborn genetic errors or other defects that cause deficiencies of active enzymes or proteins within the cells of the central nervous system. Such methods and systems generally comprise an implantable catheter system designed for the chronic delivery of specially formulated proteins to intrathecal, intracerebroventricular, and/or intraparenchymal regions of the central nervous system. The invention has application in the neuropathic aspects of the broad category of lysosomal storage diseases. These genetic based diseases are the result of insufficient enzyme activity to catabolize specific substances, which thereby accumulate in the cellular lysosomes.

    摘要: A method for delivering a large molecule to the brain includes administering the large molecule via an intermittent bolus regimen intrathecally to a subject at a level of C3 or above. A method for delivering a large molecule to the brain includes rostrally advancing a catheter in the intrathecal space of a subject until a delivery region of the catheter is located at a level of C3 or above and delivering the large molecule via the delivery region. Employing aspects of such methods, a method for altering eating behavior is described.

    摘要: Methods for delivering first and second fluid compositions to a target location of a subject include delivering the first composition from reservoir of an implantable infusion pump and delivering the second composition through a catheter access port of the implantable infusion device. The access port and reservoir are fluidly coupled to a catheter having a delivery region implanted in the target region. The methods more fully realize the therapeutic potential of infusion devices having both an access port and a reservoir. Strategic use of different agents that compliment the function of each other delivered via either the access port or the reservoir can result in enhanced therapeutic potential.

    摘要: An intrathecal catheter for delivering fluid to, or withdrawing fluid from, the cerebrospinal fluid compartment of a patient, includes a proximal end and a distal portion. The distal portion has an outer diameter of about 1 mm or less, a bending stiffness of about 0.002 pounds per square inch or less, and a distal end. A delivery region is located between the proximal end and the distal end, and a lumen extends from the proximal end to the delivery region. The catheter may further include a coiled structure region to prevent dislodgement of the catheter from a tissue in which the coiled structure is implanted, for example the cisterna magna. The catheter may also include tines to anchor portions of the catheter, for example to a portion of the spinal canal.

    摘要: A method of improving the breakdown strength of polymer multi-layer (PML) capacitors is provided. The method comprises removing metal, specifically, aluminum, from the cut edge. This is done by either etching back the metal electrode layers in either basic or acidic solution or by anodizing the metal to cover that portion of the metal at the edge with an oxide. Removing the metal from the cut edge increases the breakdown strength of the PML capacitors by a factor of two or more.

    摘要: An implantable cardioverter having circuitry for generating high energy cardioversion and defibrillation pulses. The output circuitry is so configured that it may provide simultaneous pulse, multiple electrode; sequential pulse, multiple electrode; or single pulse, two electrode defibrillation and/or cardioversion pulse regimens. The output circuitry is configured to allow delivery of energy sequentially from two capacitor banks during sequential pulse regimens and to deliver the energy stored in both capacitor banks simultaneously during simultaneous pulse, multiple electrode and single pulse, two electrode defibrillation pulse regimens.

    摘要: Techniques are described that allow an implantable device to sense gastric data and activity data from a patient, and estimate the patient's amount of energy consumed and energy expended based on the sensed data. A system provides feedback to the patient, a family member, or a doctor about the patient's energy consumed, energy expended, and net energy. The data may be provided in table or graphical format, and may show daily or weekly energy balance data or may show a trend of the daily or weekly energy data. The patient may receive feedback by an implanted alert module that provides and audio alert or a vibration alert. In addition, data acquired by the system may be used to adjust the patient's stimulation therapy parameters.
