Targeted release of nitric oxide in the CNS circulation for modulating the BBB and treating disorders

A method for delivering molecules to a central nervous system (CNS) of a subject includes supplying the molecules to a blood circulation of the CNS; supplying, to a body of the subject, a carrier system that encapsulates a nitric oxide (NO) facilitator; and applying energy to the carrier system at an energy level sufficient to cause the carrier system to release the NO facilitator in a blood circulation of the subject in a vicinity of a blood-brain barrier (BBB) of the subject and thereby increase passage of the molecules from the blood circulation of the CNS, through the BBB, and into the CNS of the subject.

InactiveUS20050175540A1Maximize both the optical absorbanceIncrease the effective absorbanceUltrasonic/sonic/infrasonic diagnosticsSurgeryNanoparticleSpherical shaped
A method of enhancing detection for a specific object in a body. A nanoparticulate is administered to the body for location in an area to be explored for detection of the object, if present. The nanoparticulate is at least partially metallic, has a formed non-spherical shape having a minimal characteristic dimension in the range from about 1 to about 3000 nanometers, and has a formed composition capable of producing thermal pressure either in the nanoparticulate or in the object greater than the object could produce in the absence of the nanoparticulate. Electromagnetic radiation is directed into the body. The electromagnetic radiation has a specific wavelength or spectrum of wavelengths in the range from 300 nm to 300 mm selected so that the wavelength or wavelength spectrum is longer by a factor of at least 3 than the minimum characteristic dimension of the nanoparticulate. The nanoparticulate absorbs the electromagnetic radiation more than would one or more non-aggregated spherically shaped particles of the same total volume with a composition identical to the nanoparticulate. The nanoparticulate produces an enhanced optoacoustic signal resulting from the absorption that is received and converted into an electronic signal and presented for assessment of the at least one parameter by a human or a machine

Arthroscopic meniscal repair systems and methods

An arthroscopic meniscal tear repair device comprises a catch needle and a transfer needle. which are pierced into a torn meniscus and advanced past the tear. Suture is transferred by a suture needle from the transfer needle through the meniscus and into the catch needle. The catch needle has an internal mechanism that retains the suture. The suture needle is then retracted back to its home position inside the transfer needle, leaving the free end of the suture across the meniscus and in the catch needle. The device is then retracted out of the meniscus, leaving behind a stitch across the meniscal tear inside the meniscus. A pre-tied knot of suture is then slid down the device and cinched up using a knot pusher having a dilation tip, thus completing the repair.

Fuse block with improved unidirectional operator

A ball ratchet mechanism suitable for use with an electrical disconnect employs a track and drive surface that engage the ball so as to capture it without significant shear force being applied to ridges of the track. In this way, the shape of the track can be optimized for smooth ratcheting action without the risk of high torques shearing track ridges.
