Noninvasive measurement of chemical substances

Utilization of a contact device placed on the eye in order to detect physical and chemical parameters of the body as well as the non-invasive delivery of compounds according to these physical and chemical parameters, with signals being transmitted continuously as electromagnetic waves, radio waves, infrared and the like. One of the parameters to be detected includes non-invasive blood analysis utilizing chemical changes and chemical products that are found in the conjunctiva and in the tear film. A transensor mounted in the contact device laying on the cornea or the surface of the eye is capable of evaluating and measuring physical and chemical parameters in the eye including non-invasive blood analysis. The system utilizes eye lid motion and / or closure of the eye lid to activate a microminiature radio frequency sensitive transensor mounted in the contact device. The signal can be communicated by wires or radio telemetered to an externally placed receiver. The signal can then be processed, analyzed and stored. Several parameters can be detected including a complete non-invasive analysis of blood components, measurement of systemic and ocular blood flow, measurement of heart rate and respiratory rate, tracking operations, detection of ovulation, detection of radiation and drug effects, diagnosis of ocular and systemic disorders and the like.

Method and Apparatus for Treatment of Congestive Heart Disease

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for treating congestive heart failure that restores kidney renal functions by artificial perfusion of at least one kidney. In one aspect, a catheter inserted into the aorta of the patient has an outlet port that supplies the patient's blood obtained from a patient's aorta into an adjoining renal artery of the patient to perfuse the kidney. The catheter comprises a rotor housed inside a portion of the catheter to supply the blood to the kidney at a desired pressure. The restoration of kidney function assists the heart by removing excess fluid, urine and toxin from the patient, and by normalizing the patient's renin-angiotensin system and other neurohormonal substances.

Aeroponic System and Sprayer Device for Improved Plant Growth and Aeration

An aeroponic growing system, double T-shaped sprayer design and method for cultivating larger plant crops and increasing harvest frequency. The system comprises a series of aeroponic growing units, each of which supports a plant's roots within an enclosure. The enclosure houses a sprayer, an interior volume of plant nutrient solution and a plumbing system for accepting and distributing the aqueous water-nutrient solution. The internal sprayer is a double T-shaped mister that sprays an atomized mist directed from a first set of nozzles onto the plant roots, along with a second set of nozzles directed toward the base of the enclosure to aerate the interior volume of plant nutrient solution. The T-shaped mister provides circumferential coverage of the plant roots, while the aeration of the plant nutrient solution provides an aerated solution that accelerates plant growth through a hybrid process of Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) called a Hyperactive Aeroponic Shallow Water Culture (HAS Culture). Several interconnected aeroponic growing units may be stationed in a parallel grid to provide ample space for rapid growth of crops, while supplying the water and nutrient solution through a network of pipes and tubes between units.

Methods and devices to induce controlled atelectasis and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction

Lung conditions are treated by implanting a flow restrictor in a passageway upstream from a diseased lung segment. The restrictor will create an orifice at the implantation site which inhibits air exchange with the segment to induce controlled atelectasis and / or hypoxia. Controlled atelectasis can induce collapse of the diseased segment with a reduced risk of pneumothorax. Hypoxia can promote gas exchange with non-isolated, healthy regions of the lung even in the absence of lung collapse.

Drug delivery system for conscious sedation

Inhalant anesthetics are developed with a number of properties including rapid onset and recovery, controllability, and, ideally, a broad safety profile. The efficacy of these agents is measured by their ability to create anesthesia within the framework of the other desirable properties. The instant invention focuses on the dosage level where analgesia occurs but amnesia or lack of consciousness does not. In addition to identifying the dosage level where pain is sharply reduced or eliminated but awareness remains, a delivery system for safe and effective delivery of the agent is described.

Prevention of tissue ischemia, related methods and compositions

Provided herein are compositions and methods for preventing, ameliorating, and / or reducing tissue ischemia and / or tissue damage due to ischemia, increasing blood vessel diameter, blood flow and tissue perfusion in the presence of vascular disease including peripheral vascular disease, atherosclerotic vascular disease, coronary artery disease, stroke and influencing other conditions, by suppressing CD47 and / or blocking TSP1 and / or CD47 activity or interaction. Influencing the interaction of CD47-TSP1 in blood vessels allows for control of blood vessel diameter and blood flow, and permits modification of blood pressure and cardiac function. Under conditions of decreased blood flow, for instance through injury or atherosclerosis, blocking TSP1-CD47 interaction allows blood vessels to dilate and increases blood flow, tissue perfusion and tissue survival. This in turn reduces or prevents tissue necrosis and death. The therapeutics identified herein allow for precise regulation of blood flow to tissues and organs which need it, while substantially avoiding systemic complications. Methods and compositions described herein can be used to increase tissue survival under conditions of trauma and surgery, as well as conditions of chronic vascular disease. Also disclosed are methods for the treatment of elderly subjects using agents that affect TSP1 and CD47 and thereby affect tissue perfusion. Additionally, provided herein are compositions and methods for influencing blood coagulation, allowing for controlled increased or decreased blood clotting. Additionally, provided herein are compositions and methods for decreasing blood flow, as in the case of cancer through mimicking the effects of TSP1 and CD47 on blood vessel diameter and blood flow.

Method and apparatus for injecting sighs during the administration of continuous positive airway pressure therapy

Methods and apparatus for administering CPAP to a patient are disclosed. The method includes providing a controllable flow of gas from a source to a patient creating a continuous positive airway pressure and controlling the flow of gas so that it is periodically modified to inject a sigh cycle into the CPAP. The administration of sigh cycle inclusive CPAP is useful for the treatment of respiratory dysfunction and for stimulating the release of surfactant in immature lungs. It is preferred to monitor the airway pressure and to inject the sigh cycle when a drop in pressure is detected. The apparatus centers on a driver used in conjunction with a gas delivery. The driver includes a valve, adapted to receive gas from a source, for regulating the flow of gas to the delivery device in response to a control signal. A controller, connected to the valve, generates the control signal so that the valve periodically modifies the flow of gas, thereby injecting a sigh cycle. A sensor is connected to sense the airway pressure and generate a pressure signal representative of the airway pressure. The controller periodically modifies the flow of gas in response to this pressure signal. It is especially preferred to initiate a sigh cycle when a drop in airway pressure is sensed.
