Abstract: The disclosure deals with methodologies and systems for oscillating electric fields (OEF), which can disrupt a cell's ability to divide. Passing these electric fields through, for example, a person's brain (or other anatomical organ or region of the body) possesses the ability to stop cancer cells from growing in patients where disease is expected. These devices can be worn by patients going through treatment to inhibit metastatic disease and to even enhance the sensitivity of established cancer cells to other therapies. Presently disclosed methodologies relate to varying frequency and/or amplitude of the oscillating electric signal for improved treatment effectiveness.

Abstract: A cannulation simulation device and methods for using the device are described. The device is designed to teach dialysis technicians/nurses or patients to cannulate arteriovenous (AV) fistulas for hemodialysis. The simulator includes one or more artificial fistulas. The simulator includes a pad of simulated flesh that can cover the artificial fistula(s). The pad can be reversed, rotated, and replaced with thicker or thinner pads. A personal simulation device for teaching self-cannulation can include a sleeve for a limb that can carry an artificial fistula. A clinical simulation device can include a plurality of artificial fistulas held in a support. Optionally, the artificial fistulas can vibrate to simulate an actual fistula.

Abstract: A prosthesis with controlled linear motion and methods for adapting the device to multiple amputation points are described. The device is designed to shorten during the swing phase to prevent striking the surface of the ground, and extend at the beginning and end of the swing to provide forward propulsion and begin to transfer bodyweight load from the opposing leg. The prosthesis includes an actuator to provide linear motion, a battery, sensors, and a controller.

Abstract: Cardiac mapping catheters and methods for using the catheters are described. The catheter can detect the presence, direction and/or source of a depolarization wave front associated with cardiac arrhythmia. A mapping catheter includes a plurality of bipolar electrode pairs in which the members of each pair are opposed to one another across a perimeter, for instance in a circular pattern (compass mode). The spaced arrangement of the electrodes can be utilized to identify directional paths of moving electric fields or wave fronts in any direction passing across the endocardial surface. Double potential (DP) recordings in compass mode can provide a regional assessment for the existence of rotational activity. Simultaneous DP recordings in compass mode, narrow-adjacent bipolar, and unipolar recording provide an accurate assessment of the time, location, and path that a rotational mechanism breaches a perimeter of electrodes. Accurate time, location, and path of perimeter breaches can be used to electrically track rotational mechanisms during atrial fibrillation.

Abstract: Various implementations include a device for assisting with and controlling stretching of a limb of a patient. The device includes a limb support for receiving the limb, a base, and a coupling that rotatably couples the limb support and the base. The coupling allows the limb support to rotate through various axes of rotation individually, depending on the range of motion expected for the limb. For example, for a device designed for the foot, the coupling allows a foot support to rotate about a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis, wherein the three axes are orthogonal to each other. In other implementations, the device may be designed for other portions of limbs, such as the hand, the forearm, the upper arm, the lower leg, and the upper leg.
