摘要:
A cosmetic stick product, especially an antiperspirant and/or deodorant is disclosed which is made with a combination of dipropylene glycol, diethyl phthalate and stearyl alcohol. This stick employs the deliberate use of diethyl phthalate even in a system which is free of added fragrance to achieve improved stability and allow for the use of reduced amounts of dipropylene glycol.

The lawn sprinkler system utilizes a single impulse type sprinkler head and at least one (preferably a series of) ground anchor receptacle(s) for the single sprinkler head. The ground anchors are permanently placed as desired, with the single sprinkler head and water supply hose being moved from one ground anchor to another to complete the watering task. Each ground anchor is provided with indicators to indicate the stop settings for the impulse sprinkler head when installed at that location. The user installs the sprinkler head with its attached hose in the selected ground anchor, and sets the sprinkler head stops in accordance with the indicators on the ground anchor. When the watering has been accomplished at that location, the water is turned off, the sprinkler head moved to another anchor, its stops are adjusted, and the water turned on to continue the process.

The present disclosure provides systems, devices, and/or methods for assessing body fluid-related metrics and/or changes therein. The disclosure further provides systems, devices, and/or methods for correlating body fluid-related metrics in a particular tissue with the corresponding whole-body metric. The disclosure also provides, systems, devices, and/or methods for assessment of such metrics to facilitate diagnosis and/or therapeutic interventions related to maintaining and/or restoring body fluid balance.
摘要:
A sensor for physiological constituent detection may be adapted to include a mucoadhesive. A sensor is provided that is appropriate for use on mucosal tissue. The mucoadhesive provides a mechanism for holding the sensor on the mucous membrane in order to measure physiological constituent levels in the tissue and blood.
摘要:
According to various embodiments, a medical system and method for early detection of shock and/or sepsis may include devices configured to provide information about carbon dioxide and/or pH levels in a patient's tracheal tissue and in a respiratory path. Specifically, a relationship between carbon dioxide and/or pH in the tracheal tissue vs. respiratory gases (e.g., lung gases) may be used to determine if a patient is at risk of developing shock or sepsis. In certain embodiments, if carbon dioxide in the tracheal tissue deviates from end-tidal carbon dioxide, a patient may be experiencing early stages of hypoperfusion associated with shock and/or sepsis.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to determining changes in a vasculature by analyzing changes in one or more attributes of a plethysmographic signal. According to certain embodiments, an apparatus may obtain plethysmographic signals prior to and subsequent to the administration of a vasoactive stimulus. The apparatus may include a processing unit configured to analyze and to compare attributes of the plethysmographic signals. The processing unit may correlate any changes in signal attributes to a change in a physiological condition of the vasculature (e.g., vascular tone/compliance). The apparatus may also include a display unit configured to present any changes in the vasculature as well as any alarms in response to a trigger from the processing unit.
摘要:
An oral composition mouthwash or liquid dentifrice containing an aqueous vehicle acceptable vehicle including an alcohol, a substantially water-insoluble noncationic antibacterial antiplaque agent, such as 2,4,4'-trichloro-21'-hydroxy-diphenyl ether (triclosan) wherein the antiplague agent is entirely dissolved in the solvent and the weight ratio of water to alcohol is in excess of about 10:1.
摘要:
A monitoring system is disclosed for in vivo monitoring of preselected physiological parameters associated with acute and/or chronic tissue compromise or failure in one or multiple tissue/organ sites in real time. In one method, a body portion of a surgical stapling device is positioned adjacent a first tissue section, an anvil assembly adapted to engage the body portion is positioned adjacent a second tissue section, and a monitoring device is positioned adjacent the first and/or second tissue sections. The monitoring device includes a sensor adapted to measure a preselected physiological parameter and a transmitter for transmitting signal to an extracorporeal receiving unit. The surgical stapling device is fired to mechanically secure the first and second tissue sections with at least one staple and the preselected physiological parameter is monitored via the information transmitted from the monitoring device to the receiving unit.
摘要:
A system for tissue ischemia detection is provided that may be used to assess markers of tissue ischemia. Such a system may include a sensor that may be used directly on internal tissue to assess ischemic condition. Sensors to be used in conjunction with the provided system may include optical, chemical or electrochemical sensors that may be directly applied or affixed to the tissue, held proximate to the tissue, or spread over the tissue in the form of a gel.
摘要:
An oxidizing cleaning composition comprises a low concentration of aqueous hydrogen peroxide that is environmentally friendly and has good stability in strong alkaline solutions. The aqueous hydrogen peroxide composition contains a synergistic combination of one or more hydrophilic surfactants having an HLB of 10 or greater, one or more hydrotropes, one or more UV-analyzable surfactants having an aromatic detectable functional group, and optionally a surfactant having an HLB of less than 10. The cleaning composition when mixed with an alkaline compound is very effective in removing dried or baked residues of polymers, modified or natural celluloses starches, natural gels, and the like at low concentrations and temperatures.
