Also provided are apparatus for use in the process and tablets formed by compression of the resultant granules.

Certain embodiments provide methods and systems by which a predictive modeling provider may provide a client with predictive healthcare analysis. The predictive healthcare analysis may be used to assess whether a beneficiary is likely to develop conditions requiring healthcare. If such conditions are identified, intervention plans are developed and implemented to address the conditions and reduce healthcare costs. Certain embodiments provide method and systems by which an integrated benefits management organization may manage a client's healthcare program. A claim audit may be performed on healthcare claims of the client's beneficiaries. A claim repricing process may be used to discount the healthcare claims of the client's beneficiaries. In at least certain embodiments, the predictive modeling provider or integrated benefits management organization are motivated to maximize the reduction in the client's healthcare costs.

Methods of characterizing and identifying microorganisms within a community of microorganisms are described. The methods include amplifying variable regions of the cpn60 gene of samples taken from the microbial community. Primers designed from the analysis of phylogenetic comparisons of nucleotide sequences of the variable regions of the cpn60 gene are also disclosed.

Disclosed are a system, device and process for monitoring physical and physiological features of livestock through a unique monitoring system and device. Basic and Smart tags are placed on livestock to monitor, among other things, temperature, movement, location, posture, pulse rate, and other physical and physiological features. Information is relayed from Basic tags, in one embodiment, to Smart tags that requests the information and receives the information from the basic tags. Smart tags send information to a mobile unit controller and/or home base so that requested information is sent to an end user that monitors the livestock for signs of illness. Potentially ill animals are segregated from the herd for further evaluation and minimization of exposure risk to the rest of the herd. This early detection system saves livestock and ensures a healthier herd for livestock farmers.

A medical resuscitation system includes an external physiological stimulator system module for resuscitating a patient and an external communication system module. The external physiological stimulator and communication system modules are removeably coupled together. The external communication system module can flow a signal between it and an electronic patient information module carried by a patient. The external physiological stimulator system module can resuscitate the patient in response to this signal.

In an electonic key associated with a device for skin treatment there is a housing and an integrated circuit, the integrated circuit is positioned within the housing, wherein the device for treating human tissue comprises a surgical instrument having a gas conduit terminating in a plasma exit nozzle, and an electrode associated with the conduit, and a radio frequency power generator coupled to the instrument electrode and arranged to deliver radio frequency power to the electrode in single or series of treatment pulses for creating a plasma from gas fed through the conduit, the pulses having durations in the range of from 2 ms to 100 ms.

Apparatus for helmeting with carotid collars works in conjunction with a transcranial Doppler, phased array photoacoustic device to transmit a first energy to a region of interest at an internal site of a subject to produce an image and blood flow velocities of a region of interest by outputting an optical excitation energy to said region of interest and heating said region, causing a transient thermoelastic expansion and produce a wideband ultrasonic emission. Systems integrate and register the signals for use in, for example, acute stroke care.

A dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator includes a dielectric chamber. The chamber contains or incorporates a solid surface that is to be treated with non-thermal plasma. The dielectric chamber can be substantially sealed and confine an atmosphere therein. An atmosphere control system is provided for controlling the atmosphere within the chamber. At least one or two electrodes are located outside of the dielectric chamber. When actuated by an appropriate source of plasma generating electrical power the electrodes cause the generation of a solid surface modifying non-thermal plasma in a plasma zone within the dielectric chamber. A transport system is provided for moving the electrode and the dielectric chamber relative to one another. A plasma zone is confined within the dielectric chamber adjacent to the electrodes, and remains substantially stationary relative to the electrodes. The dielectric chamber carries the solid surface through the plasma zone. The solid surface remains substantially stationary relative to the dielectric chamber.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for treating physiological problems, and for providing rapid, efficacious transdermal treatment, for example, of muscle sprains, erectile dysfunction, or baldness, without requiring the use of needles or other invasive interventions. A topical therapeutic agent and ultrasound energy are applied to a tissue surface, e.g., the skin, such that the ultrasound enhances transdermal penetration of the agent. The invention is especially useful in localized delivery of a controlled dosage of a therapeutic agent to the small blood vessels and capillaries beneath the skin's surface.

A method of treating or preventing skin yeast infections, such as cutaneous candidiasis, includes applying a polymerizable monomer adhesive composition to an area of skin afflicted with or susceptible to a skin yeast infection, optionally with at least one of an additional anti-fungal agent or a skin care additive, and allowing the polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over the area of skin.
