Abstract:
A device for insertion into a mammalian patient comprises a shaft and a light delivery element. The shaft comprises a proximal end and a distal end, and the light delivery element is positioned proximate the distal end of the shaft. The device is configured to repeatedly adjust light delivered by the light delivery elements. Devices and methods for treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning are also provided.
Abstract:
A device for insertion into a mammalian patient comprises a shaft and a light delivery element. The shaft comprises a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen therebetween. The light delivery element is constructed and arranged to deliver light to prevent infection, reduce infection and/or cause a therapeutic benefit or physiologic effect.
Abstract:
Disclosed are devices ( 100 ), systems ( 500 ), and methods for determining the dipole densities on heart walls. In particular, a triangularization of the heart wall is performed in which the dipole density of each of multiple regions correlate to the potential measured at various located within the associated chamber of the heart. To create a database of dipole densities, mapping information recorded by multiple electrodes ( 316 ) located on one or more catheters ( 310 ) and anatomical information is used. In addition, skin electrodes may be implemented. Additionally, one or more ultrasound elements ( 340 ) are provided, such as on a clamp assembly or integral to a mapping electrode, to produce real time images of device components and surrounding structures.
