摘要:
Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein for detecting one or more physiological conditions in lungs of a vertebrate subject. A method is described for administering at least one microparticle to lungs of a vertebrate subject, wherein the at least one microparticle includes one or more markers; wherein the one or more markers is configured to be released in response to one or more physiological conditions in the vertebrate subject; and detecting the one or more markers in a lung exhalant of the vertebrate subject.
摘要:
Systems, devices, and methods are described for tracking, registering, etc. of medical staff, patients, instrumentation, events, or the like according to a treatment staging plan. For example a medical apparatus includes a right-patient verification device having an interrogation interface device that elicits at least one of identification data, authorization data, or treatment plan data from a medical procedure authorization device associated with a patient; and a right-site verification device that generates patient-specific treatment staging data consistent with the at least one of the identification data, the authorization data, or the treatment plan data.
摘要:
Methods and related systems for modulating neural activity by repetitively blocking conduction in peripheral neural structures with electrical stimuli are disclosed. Methods and systems for reversing effects of blocking stimuli and/or for producing substantially permanent conduction block are also disclosed.
摘要:
A device, a system, or a method is described for treating a disease or condition of one or more joints of articulating bone in a mammalian subject. A device is described which includes one or more substrates configured to contact one or more body contours at one or more joints of articulating bone of a mammalian subject; and an applicator supported by the one or more substrates and configured to inject one or more medicaments to one or more joint tissues of the mammalian subject.

摘要:
Systems and methods are described for implementing or deploying medical or veterinary utility modules (a) operable for mooring at least partly within a digestive tract, (b) small enough to pass through the tract per vias naturales and including a wireless-control component, (c) having one or more attachment protrusions positionable adjacent to a mucous membrane, (d) configured to facilitate redundant modes of attachment, (e) facilitating a “primary” material supply deployable within a stomach for an extended and/or controllable period, (f) moored by one or more adaptable extender modules supported by a subject's head or neck, and/or (g) configured to facilitate supporting at least a sensor within a subject's body lumen for up to a day or more.
摘要:
Systems and methods are described for implementing or deploying medical or veterinary utility modules comprising a first module operable in a digestive or respiratory tract to engage a second module, optionally by a magnetic field. Alternatively or additionally, systems may be operable to remain in situ and also operable to permit a therapeutic material dispensation. In some contexts, for example, systems or methods may dispense a therapeutic material via a subject's throat or elsewhere in the digestive or respiratory tract.
