A system and method for endoluminal grafting of a main anatomic conduit in its diseased state in which it dilates to pose a life threatening condition and its various conduits that emanate from the main anatomic conduit. The grafting system comprises an endoaortic graft having at least one opening therein and at least one branch graft that is passable through the opening of the endoaortic graft into the branch anatomic conduit(s) such that the junction between the branch graft and the endoaortic graft is substantially fluid tight. A system and method for delivery of the endoaortic graft and also a system and method for efficient alignment and deployment of the branch (e.g., side branch) graft such that the coupling of the branch graft with the endoaortic graft is efficient and exact and fluid-tight; and a system and method for coupling the branch to the endoaortic graft via a coupling mechanism employing a memory metal alloy; a system and method for the proper and exact alignment of the endoaortic graft and the branch using magnetic force of a suitable nature, and which does not use the magnetic force as the coupling mechanism.

A computerized system allows intercommunication of patients with respect to the treatment of their diseases. This system includes an electronic medical record database providing electronic medical records of a given set of patients as developed by healthcare professionals and linked to an anonymous identifier for each patient and a set of terminal devices accessible to the patients allowing for the electronic exchange of information through a display and data input device. A server system connects the anonymous medical record database and the terminal devices and executes a stored program to: (1) allow an authenticated connection by a given patient to the server system through a terminal device and associate the connection with an anonymous identifier; (2) permit authoring by the given patient of a patient site viewable on a terminal device incorporating medical records from the anonymous medical record database associated with the anonymous identifier; and (3) identify to the given patient other patient sites for other patients having shared medical conditions according to a predetermined clustering of data of the anonymous medical record database.

The invention is an effective solution to the problem known as the medical non-compliance problem. Reducing the non-compliance of patients offer them A better condition of their disease Better health Longer life expectancy Better quality of life The solution offers these great benefits at a limited cost. Solution can be applied to many diseases. More than 10% of the population can benefit from the invention. The invention keeps track of the patient's medicine usage. If the patient is not following the treatment that was prescribed to him it will send information over the telephone to the disease management system. The disease management system will then take the suitable action to help the patient back on track with his treatment. That action could for example be an automatic reminder call to the patient or in some cases a message to his physician to inform him of the situation.

A method of incentivising members of a disease management program to comply with the program by splitting the program into general program areas and specific program areas. The general program areas are relevant to all of the diseases with which members of the program are stricken while the specific program areas are only relevant to some disease managed by the program. Members of the program are awarded points for taking part in and achieving certain levels within all of the general program areas and within the specific program areas associated with the disease with which they are stricken. The points are accumulated and members are rewarded if their points reach a predetermined level. Furthermore, bonus points are awarded to the members for achieving certain levels in all of the program areas associated with their disease.

A documentation system that allows adequate control of documentation in addition to an assessment of skills of the professionals involved includes plurality of software modules, each software module dedicated to a particular disease process or body system. Each software modules provides a checklist of assessment steps or an anatomical diagram of a particular body system or medical terminology. The medical data is accessed by inputting the abbreviations of a particular disease process or medical term displayed on an electronic device. It can then be downloaded to a PC and printed out in hard copy to be temporarily placed on the chart of the patient during an acute-episode, incident or accident or be permanently placed in the patient's chart to describe the patient's condition. In addition the pertinent medical data may be given to the patient to assist the patient in understanding his/her disease process, medical condition or medical terms.

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to acupuncture reflexotherapy. The inventive method consists in introducing a needle provided with a volume, plate or annular-shaped head into one of the predetermined, for example, auricular acupuncture points of a patient, wherein taking it through under the skin, the needle free end is withdrawn from the other predetermined point and a detachable retainer having plate or volume shape is secured thereon. The retainer can also be designed non-detachable and be formed by a bended free end of the needle rod. A required rate of lowering an excessive body weight is provided by exposure the zones of the indicated points to the head and/or retainer weight, or/and by changing a contact area thereof with the indicated points, and/or by a progradient correlation of intensity of the action on these points. In order to enhance the effect, pins and suspension members are used on the head and/or the retainer, as well as a contoured and/or wave-shaped surface of the needle rod. The proposed method and the needle design allow for a more efficient action on the selected acupuncture points, thereby significantly reducing the patient's excessive body weight or treating his or her diseases.
