A catheter is adapted to ablate tissue and provide lesion qualitative information on a real time basis, having an ablation tip section with a generally omni-directional light diffusion chamber with one openings to allow light energy in the chamber to radiate the tissue and return to the chamber. The chamber is irrigated at a positive pressure differential to continuously flush the opening with fluid. The light energy returning to the chamber from the tissue conveys a tissue parameter, including without limitation, lesion formation, depth of penetration of lesion, cross-sectional area of lesion, formation of char during ablation, recognition of char during ablation, recognition of char from non-charred tissue, formation of coagulum around the ablation site, differentiation of coagulated from non-coagulated blood, differentiation of ablated from healthy tissue, tissue proximity, and recognition of steam formation in the tissue for prevention of steam pop.

Sutureless, implantable fluid shunting devices and associated methods for controlling the pressure of fluids within anatomical spaces or cavities of the body. The device generally comprises a tube having a diffusion barrier (e.g., diffusion chamber) formed on a proximal end thereof. Fluid which flows through the tube will collect within the diffusion chamber and will diffuse outwardly therethrough. However, the presence of the diffusion chamber will prevent microbes, cells or other matter from interfering with or backflowing through the tube. Additionally, the tube may be provided with a pressure-openable aperture through which fluid from the tube may flow into the diffusion chamber. Such pressure-openable aperture will remain closed, until the pressure of fluid within the tube exceeds a predetermined maximum pressure PMAX. In this manner, the pressure-openable aperture will limit the amount of fluid drained from the anatomical space or cavity of the body, thereby avoiding hypotony within such anatomical space or cavity. The diffusion barrier of the device is preferably configured to fit between, and to be engaged by, adjacent recti muscles of the eye. Such engagement of the diffusion barrier with the adjacent recti muscles serves to prevent unwanted migration or post-implantation movement of the device, without the need for suturing of the device to the tissue of the eye.

Once the screw implanted in the human body, the fibrin sealant or Chitosin / gelatin nano-particles are gradually degraded and slowly release growth factors and stem cells via micropores of screw to facilitate the bone healing and regeneration. The gelatin nanoparticles and fibril sealant / or Chitosan matrix also serve as the scaffold and platform for bone in-growth to the screw or alternatively, the stem cell inside of screw can regenerate new bone, providing the biological fixation. At the mean time as the bone regenerate and / or in growth, mechanical strength of the screw increased.

The method of the invention is directed to the novel use of a diffusion chamber within which previously “uncultivatible” microorganisms can be isolated. Rather than attempting to replicate the natural environment of an unknown microorganism, the method of the invention provides for exposing dividing microorganisms to all the components of the original environment while simultaneously containing the resulting colonies so that they can be isolated. The method of the invention can take advantage of the recognition that the preponderance of difficult-to-grow microorganisms do not form colonies visible to the naked eye. Therefore, these organisms must be isolated under a compound microscope as “microcolonies.” In addition, methods according to the invention permit the isolation of novel microorganisms capable of growing in artificial media only in co-culture in the presence of a companion microorganism.
