    摘要: A method for treating patients suffering from left ventricular dysfunction, exhibited by a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than normal, is disclosed. The method involves applying, during diastole, for a time period of about one hour, about five days each week for at least about seven weeks, an incrementally increasing therapeutic pressure to the patients' lower extremities, from the calves through the thighs and the buttocks. The hourly treatments are carried out at incrementally increasing peak diastolic/systolic pressure ratios (D/S Ratios) in the range of about 0.4:1 up to about 0.6:1 and thereafter at a D/S Ratio in the range of 0.5:1 to 1:1 for each consecutive hourly treatment, with the proviso that the average D/S Ratio over the entire treatment regimen does not exceed about 0.9:1.

    摘要: An Internet-based system and method facilitates interactive placing and acceptance of patient referrals within a health care community. A referring health care provider accesses the proposed specialty clinic or other provider through the system, identifies the patient and pertinent medical conditions, and responds to interactive queries put by the system to qualify the patient and his or her medical condition for the referral. The system automatically accepts or rejects the referral, proposes prior tests or treatments for the patient before another referral attempt is made, or accepts the referral subject to tests being completed. Accepted referrals are then scheduled by staff depending on their urgency as indicated in the interactive querying system. Rules governing the interactive querying are set by physicians and managers of the community and can be changed as conditions warrant. Security of patient information in the system in accordance with federal HIPPA requirements is readily provided via passwords and user log-ins.

    摘要: A surgical sleeve which includes an array of spaced apart protuberances on an interior wall surface. The spaced protuberance reduce the surface contact between the sleeve and the tip and define a network of generally uniform channels through which fluid may flow, irrespective of pressure applied to the sleeve. As a result, the sleeve is able to provide fluid flow which is better able to remove heat from the tip and provide a more uniform irrigation of the eye.

    摘要: An apparatus in which a deformable or compressible intraocular lens can be received and staged for insertion into a patient's eye. The apparatus has an elongated compression chamber with proximal and distal ends and a longitudinal passageway, having an inner surface, extending between the ends. The portion of the passageway adjacent to the proximal end forms a loading area in which the passageway gradually decreases in size for causing an intraocular lens to be deformed or compressed as the lens is moved along the passageway. A staging area having a top and bottom passageway wall, communicates with the loading area with the passageway wall including alignment means for retaining the intraocular lens in a deformed or compressed condition. A portion of the passageway is sized to retain the intraocular lens in the deformed or compressed condition. A portion of the passageway defining the loading area comprises a surface which includes an opening and a slot or groove for permitting withdrawal of forceps used for pushing the intraocular lens through the loading area and into the staging area for deforming or compressing the lens.
