    Abstract: A nebulizer includes a nebulizer top detachably coupled to a nebulizer bottom with a nozzle assembly that fits between the nebulizer top and nebulizer bottom. The components of the nebulizer are formed so that each be easily replaced by a counterpart component of similar design but with a different property. The nozzle assembly is configured to be replaced with a second nozzle assembly that has a different aperture size that produces a different size of aerosol droplet. Additionally, a diffuser attached to the nebulizer top or nebulizer bottom can be replaced by a second nebulizer top or nebulizer bottom with a second diffuser in a different position that produces a different size of aerosol droplet. A sensor module attached to the nebulizer measures properties associated with the performance of the nebulizer.

    Abstract: A system and method evaluates a patient for stress urinary incontinence. An involuntary reflex cough event is induced within the patient that activates the nucleus ambiguous and medial motor cell column of the patient and stimulates involuntary cough activated paraspinal muscles in the pelvis of the patient. And elecromyogram (EMG) is obtained from the involuntary cough activated paraspinal muscles and its duration determined. Any urine leakage time that occurs during the involuntary reflex cough event is identified and correlated within a processor together with the urine leakage time and EMG and duration of cough event to determine stress urinary incontinence.

    Abstract: A nebulizer is connected to an inspiratory air line of a ventilator and forms an air path along a longitudinal axis through which air is delivered to a patient from a ventilator. A nebulizer nozzle is carried within the nebulizer housing and aligned with the longitudinal axis through which gas is mixed with medication and discharged into the air path. A suction line extends from the discharge end of the nebulizer nozzle through the outer surface of the nebulizer housing to a medication receiver that draws medication upward from a medication container contained within the medication receiver and mixes the medication with gas passing through the nebulizer nozzle and nebulizes the medication for discharge into the air path to a patient.

    Abstract: A system to prevent incontinence in a patient includes transducers positioned subcutaneously at the interior surface of the medial border of the costal margin of at least one of ribs 8, 9 and 10 that detect movement of at least one of those ribs and generates signals indicative of that movement during the inspiratory phase of respiration. Muscle stimulators include electrodes connected to muscles of the urethral sphincter. A controller is connected to the electrodes and the transducers. This controller receives the signals generated from the transducers indicative of the movement of the ribs during the inspiratory phase of respiration and in response, generates and transmits electrical control signals to the electrodes connected to the muscles of the urethral sphincter to stimulate electrically the muscles of the urethral sphincter to close the urethral sphincter during the inspiratory phase of respiration.

    Abstract: A medication reservoir is contained within a nebulizer body. An air line includes a distal end within the nebulizer body and venturi nozzle. A medication suction line extends from the medication reservoir to the venturi nozzle through which medication is drawn upward and mixed with air after passing through the venturi nozzle and nebulized for discharge through the nebulizer outlet. A valve is positioned within the air line proximal to the venturi nozzle and normally configured in a closed position until a negative inspiratory pressure is applied by a user to open the valve and allow air through the air line and venturi nozzle from a source of air and draw medication upward through the medication suction line for nebulization and discharge through the nebulizer outlet.
