Abstract: A hermetic component housing for use with a photonic catheter connected to a photonic pacemaker or other medical system designed for compatibility with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedures. The hermetic housing includes a housing body having a proximal end and a distal end. The body is formed with a hermetically sealed interior for carrying one or more electrical and/or optical components therein. The proximal end of the body is adapted to mount to a distal end of a photonic catheter carrying a fiber optic element or bundle. A hermetic terminal is provided to allow the fiber optic element or bundle to communicate with the body interior. The body can be adapted to mount (or function as) one or more electrodes designed for delivering or sensing electrical signals to body tissue, or it may be adapted to mount no electrodes. The component housing may be implemented by itself at the distal end of the photonic catheter, or it may be used in conjunction with other housings of like or different construction.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, disclosed is a method of conferring, upon a host cell, resistance to retroviral infection by interfering with one or more of the infection processes including retroviral replication and assembly into infective viral particles. The method involves introducing a vector into a host cell, wherein the vector comprises a polynucleotide which directs transcription, within the host cell, of RNA which is a) complementary or homologous, depending on the target region, to a nucleic acid sequence within one or more regions of the genome of the retrovirus; and b) is effective in inhibiting retroviral replication and/or interfering with assembly into viral particles when the host cell is infected. Also disclosed is a method of treatment using cells upon which resistance to infection has been conferred.

Abstract: A lithium-iodine cell comprising a casing of electrically conducting material, an anode including a lithium element within the casing, an electrical conductor operatively connected to the lithium element and extending out from the casing, and a cathode comprising iodine-containing material in operative contact with both the casing and the lithium element. The anode electrical conductor is completely sealed from the rest of the cell, and the casing serves as the cathode current collector. The anode operative surface is provided with a coating of an organic electron donor material. The anode conductor is enclosed within the combination of an insulator element within the casing, an isolator element between the insulator and the conductor, and a ferrule having one end within the insulator and the other end extending from the casing. During assembly, the cathode material is introduced in heated form and a filling element is employed which serves to keep the edge of the casing open end clean to facilitate subsequent welding of a lid to the casing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing germicidal and healing treatment of tissue such as bone wherein an electrode of silver or like material is applied to a living tissue site to be healed, initially a direct voltage is applied to the electrode of a polarity driving the electrode as an anode to release silver ions to create a germicidal environment at the site, and thereafter a direct voltage of opposite polarity is applied to the electrode driving it as a cathode to stimulate healing of the tissue at the site. The apparatus is implanted in the body of a patient, and in one embodiment a battery is connected through a switch to the electrode and a reference electrode, the switch initially connecting the electrode as an anode and thereafter changeable by an external operator such as a magnet to connect the electrode as a cathode. In another embodiment, another electrode and an element cooperate with the treating electrode to form a galvanic couple with the treating electrode to create a germicidal environment and a predetermined time thereafter the arrangement changes to a biogalvanic couple with body fluid to cause healing of the tissue. In either embodiment a wave shaping circuit can be operatively associated with the treating electrode to facilitate external monitoring of the apparatus when implanted.

Abstract: A cardiac pacemaker including a pulse generator and an electrical source such as a battery completely enveloped in a small size housing. An electrode operatively connected to the pulse generator has a helically-shaped portion extending outwardly from the housing in fixed relation thereto. The housing is of sufficiently small size to permit the pacemaker to be implanted in conjunction with a limited thoracotomy by turning the housing to rotatively insert the electrode into the heart tissue of the patient, i.e. into the myocardium. The housing can be of electrically conducting material, insulated from the electrode, and a portion of the housing can serve as an indifferent electrode.

Abstract: A lithium-bromine cell comprising a casing which can be of electrically conducting material and containing a lithium anode element from which a sealed conductor extends through the casing. A filling element which can be of electrically conducting material and which has a passage therethrough is fixed to the sealed casing with one end of the passage in communication with the interior of the casing and the other end externally exposed. Bromine is introduced through the passage to the interior of the casing into operative relationship with the lithium anode whereupon the passage is closed to complete the cell. The electrically conducting casing serves as a cathode current collector in operative contact with the bromine cathode, and after closing of the passage the electrically conducting filling element serves as an electrical terminal for the cell. An electrical potential difference exists between the terminal and the anode conductor during operation of the cell.

Abstract: A solid electrolyte primary cell comprising a lithium anode, a bromine cathode and a lithium bromide electrolyte. A solid lithium element operatively contacts the cathode material, and one form of cathode material is a charge transfer complex of an organic donor component material and bromine. The organic donor component material can be poly-2-vinyl pyridine. Another cathode material is liquid bromine. The surface of the lithium anode element which operatively contacts the cathode material can be provided with a coating of an organic electron donor component material. When the lithium anode operatively contacts the bromine cathode, a solid lithium bromide electrolyte begins to form at the interface and an electrical potential difference exists between conductors operatively connected to the anode and cathode.

Abstract: A hybrid battery power source for implantable medical use provides a generally constant low internal resistance during discharge and avoids voltage delays of the type that develop as a result of run down-induced resistance increase in Li/SVO cells. The hybrid battery power source utilizes two batteries or cells, one being a primary cell of relatively high energy density and the other being a secondary cell of relatively low internal resistance that is rechargeable. The primary and secondary cells are connected in a parallel arrangement via a voltage boost/charge control circuit that is powered by the primary cell and adapted to charge the secondary cell while limiting charge/discharge excursions thereof in a manner that optimizes its output for high energy medical device use. The energy storage capacitors of the medical device in which the hybrid battery power source is situated are driven by the secondary cell. The primary cell is used to as an energy source for recharging the secondary cell.

Abstract: A high-energy power source with low internal self discharge for implantable use includes a multiplicity of rechargeable energy storage battery cells, a primary power source adapted to charge the energy storage cells, a switching system adapted to switch the energy storage cells between a parallel connection configuration for charging and a series connection configuration for discharging, and circuitry adapted to initiate charging of the energy storage cells only in response to an input signifying a need to discharge energy and to refrain from charging the energy storage cells until the input is received. In this way, the energy storage cells are maintained in a low charge state until discharge energy is required, the low charge state being at a level that promotes low internal self-discharge of the energy storage cells.
