Abstract: Methods of orthodontic treatment using localized energy. The methods may include determining that one or more of a patient's teeth are off track from a treatment plan based on one or more discrepancies between a current virtual model and a target virtual model. The current virtual model may be based on image(s) taken of the patient's teeth during a stage of orthodontic treatment. The methods may also include modifying the treatment plan by implementing local energy radiation to a region of the patient's dental arch. The local energy radiation may be configured to accelerate repositioning of the one or more of the patient's teeth and to put the one or more of the patient's teeth on track according to the treatment plan.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for evaluating the success of a treatment applied to tissue in a patient, such as a radio frequency ablative treatment used to neuromodulate nerves associated with the renal artery. A system monitors parameters or values generated during the course of a treatment. Feedback provided to an operator is based on the monitored values and relates to an assessment of the likelihood that a completed treatment was technically successful. In other embodiments, parameters or values generated during the course of an incomplete treatment (such as due to high temperature or high impedance conditions) may be evaluated to provide additional instructions or feedback to an operator.

Abstract: An assembly 100 to provide thermal therapy to a human auditory system includes a thermal transducer 125, a stimulus transducer 120, 135, a receiver 130, and a processing device 145. Some or all of the individual components may be carried in headwear. The thermal transducer 125 applies hypothermic temperature conditions to an area of the head near an ear. The stimulus transducer 120, 135 applies a stimulus signal, and the receiver 130 detects otoacoustic emission (OAE) responsive to the stimulus signal. The processor 145 compares the received OAE signal to a reference. Discrepancy between the OAE and reference is used in a feedback loop to control operation of the system 100.

Abstract: A headgear can be worn on a user's head to adjustably fix a mouthpiece inserted in an oral cavity. The headgear includes: a front pad brought into contact with and pressed against a front pressure point of an outer surface of the buccinator between the zygomatic bone and the mandible in the face region; one or more rear pads brought into contact with and pressed against one or more rear pressure points so that a resultant force becomes a reaction force paired with a pressing force of the front pad, in a region from the top to the back of the head; a frame fixing the front pad and the rear pads; a front horizontal bar fixed to the frame at a position in front of the lip region of the head; and an adjustment part installed on the front horizontal bar to mount the mouthpiece.

Abstract: A method for treatment of a brain and/or spinal cord includes inserting a flexible catheter into a cerebrospinal fluid space, the flexible catheter including two lumens adapted to allow a fluid to circulate therein in a closed loop within the flexible catheter and the flexible catheter being adapted to be connected to a device for cooling and circulating the fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid in the cerebrospinal fluid space is cooled with the flexible catheter to enable selective central nervous system cooling. The functional status of the brain and/or spinal cord is monitored, and the treatment of the brain and/or spinal cord is modified to adjust for any change in the functional status of the brain and/or spinal cord.

Abstract: A process and related assemblies for delivering slush through a tube towards a patient. Obtaining an elongated container partially filled with slush with a port end that has a first port and a second port. Placing the first port in fluid communication with tubing for delivery of slush towards the patient. Placing the second port in fluid communication with a source of gas which may be air. Subjecting the elongated container to automated repetitive movements so that the slush in the partially filled elongated container moves against interior surfaces within the elongated container. Ideally, two different forms of repetitive motion are used to impose complex movement upon the slush within the elongated container. Applying a pressure gradient to cause slush to flow out of the first port towards the patient. The elongated container may be made from a slush bottle with a reversibly engaged cap with the two ports.
