    Abstract: Catheter based ablation devices, systems, and methods for achieving intraluminal and/or transluminal neuromodulation, stimulation or ablation by intraluminal access are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present application, for example, is directed to devices, systems, and methods that incorporate a spiral support frame treatment device on an elongate shaft or as a temporary or permanently implanted therapy device. The elongated shaft is sized and configured to deliver a spiral treatment device to a treatment position via an intravascular path. Intraluminal and transluminal neuromodulation, stimulation or ablation or other therapeutic outcomes may be achieved via energy delivered via the spiral element. One therapy includes modulation of neural fibers that contribute to or alter vascular structures that feed or perfuse the neural fibers.

    Abstract: An intravascular catheter for peri-vascular nerve activity sensing or measurement includes multiple needles advanced through supported guide tubes (needle guiding elements) which expand with open ends around a central axis to contact the interior surface of the wall of the renal artery or other vessel of a human body allowing the needles to be advanced though the vessel wall into the perivascular space. The system also may include means to limit and/or adjust the depth of penetration of the needles. The catheter also includes structures which provide radial and lateral support to the guide tubes so that the guide tubes open uniformly and maintain their position against the interior surface of the vessel wall as the sharpened needles are advanced to penetrate into the vessel wall. The addition of an injection lumen at the proximal end of the catheter and openings in the needles adds the functionality of ablative fluid injection into the perivascular space for an integrated nerve sending and ablation capability.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing test results based on patient-specific data and reference data are provided. An example method includes processing a result of a diagnostic test performed on a patient based on reference data that is based on testing of a group of patients. The method also includes processing the result based on patient-specific data that includes previous test results of the diagnostic test previously performed on the patient, and providing an indication indicative of an abnormal test result based on the result being in a normal range of the reference data and having a variance from the patient-specific data of a threshold amount. In another example, a method includes providing an indication indicative of a normal test result based on the result being outside a normal range of the reference data and being between an upper limit and a lower limit of the patient-specific data.

    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a body malfunction is provided. At least one change in urinary parameter values, being indicative of the body malfunction, is monitored and detected. A volumetric urinary output of kidneys is monitored using a urine flow monitoring apparatus having a low flow metering device. It is determined whether a change exists in at least one of a volume value of the volumetric urinary output, and a trend of the corresponding urinary parameter value during a predetermined period. Signals are received from a plurality of electrodes, representing the urinary parameter values. The body malfunction is detected based on the determination of the change in at least one of the volume value and the trend.
