    Abstract: A radiosurgery system is described that is configured to deliver a therapeutic dose of radiation to a target structure in a patient. In some embodiments, inflammatory ocular disorders are treated, specifically macular degeneration. In some embodiments, other disorders or tissues of a body are treated with the dose of radiation. In some embodiments, the target tissues are placed in a global coordinate system based on ocular imaging. In some embodiments, the target tissues inside the global coordinate system lead to direction of an automated positioning system that is directed based on the target tissues within the coordinate system. In some embodiments, a treatment plan is utilized in which beam energy and direction and duration of time for treatment is determined for a specific disease to be treated and/or structures to be avoided. In some embodiments, a fiducial marker is used to identify the location of the target tissues. In some embodiments, an eye is held with force and in alignment with the system. In some embodiments, the device automatically turns off with excessive movement outside of alignment along an axis of the eye. In some embodiments, radiodynamic therapy is described in which radiosurgery is used in combination with other treatments and can be delivered concomitant with, prior to, or following other treatments.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to therapy devices for providing therapeutic light to a target region of tissue within a nasal cavity. The devices are adapted to include a light source communicating with a distal end of the first insertion member, wherein light from the light source illuminates a target region of tissue within a nasal cavity posterior to a limen nasi of the nasal cavity, and further wherein the insertion member is configured to prevent illumination of a region of tissue anterior to the limen nasi. The devices are further adapted to be positioned within the nasal cavity by a user without observing the location of the distal tip.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a pressure sensing system is described which transmits data to a patient management system external to a patient. The pressure sensing system can rigidly couple to an implantable port or flexibly couple to an implantable port. In some embodiments, the pressure sensing system communicates with a hydraulic actuating system. In some embodiments, the pressure sensing system is implantable and comprises a circuit capable of wireless transmission through the skin of a patient to an external receiver which is part of a patient management system. A patient management system is described which receives up to date as well as historical data from the pressure sensing system and manages the these data in the context of a patient database. In some embodiments, an extragastric balloon is described in which the balloon is contoured to -..it ..i poi.jL?p o± the stomach nur not circumscribe the stomach. In some embodiments, electroactive polymers or nitinol structures are utilized to create restriction on the stomach in response to food boluses entering the stomach. In some embodiments, a nasogastric connector is described with two expandable structures translateable toward and away from one another so as to create pressure between two organ lumens when brought toward each other and fixed with respect to one another.

    Abstract: A radiosurgery system describes a therapeutic radiation delivery to a target structure in a patient. The radiosurgery system treats inflammatory ocular disorders; places ocular structures in a global coordinate system based on ocular imaging; automates ocular structures inside the global coordinate system to direction of a positioning system that is directed based on ocular structures within the coordinate system; tracks and relates the position of ocular structures to the status of the radiosurgery system; determines beam energy and direction and duration of time for treatment for a specific disease to be treated and/or structures to be avoided; tracks structure of an eye; holds and fixes the eye is in place; places a fiducial is on the eye to aid in positioning; positions the eye off the refelction; and combines with other treatments and can be delivered concomitant with, prior to, or following other treatments.

    Abstract: A medical device for interposition between a first flow path and at least one second flow path is provided. The device includes a first surface facing toward the opening of at least one second flow path; and a second surface facing away from the opening of at least one second flow path. When the device is in the operative position, it extends less than the complete circumference of the first flow path and substantially covers the opening of at least one second flow path. The device contains one or more surface features to facilitate chronic implantation. The device further has one or more characteristic porosities. Different configurations are indicated depending on the pathophysiology being treated and dictate the characteristic porosity of the device. In some, cases blood is prevented from reaching the second flow path and in other cases, particulates traveling within the blood are prevented from reaching the second flow path.
