Inventor: THOMAS GRIFFITH R
IPC: C07K14/52
Filed: 1997-01-13
Granted: 1999-10-21
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the surprising and unexpected finding that biologically active thrombopoietin materials can be administered with substantial therapeutic effect at dosage rates commensurate with previously reported administration of such materials, but in a single or low-multiple daily administration. Thus, the predicate of the present invention relates to the reversal of thrombocytopenia by administering to a patient having or in need of such treatment a single or low-multiple daily dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a thrombopoietin. The preferable dose of the active material ranges from about 1 to about 10  mu g/kg body weight.

Date Dec. 10, 1992.A device including a flow unit generating a potential vortex having an inflow aperture and an outflow aperture, together with a turbine arranged in the direction of flow of the potential vortex. The flow unit comprises an outer hollow member having a plurality of flaps and plates at both ends, with one plate containing the outflow aperture, and an inner hollow member arranged concentrically of the outer hollow member. The built-up pressure acting on the outer hollow member opens some of the movable flaps and closes others, which generates a rotary flow. The rotary flow, while flowing tangentially into the inner hollow member, is accelerated further and forms a swirl flow which is directed outwardly by the vacuum at the outflow aperture and which, after having passed through the outflow aperture, is converted into the potential vortex by the shear forces of the parallel flows. A separating element in the outer member divides the rotary flow into a first and a second partial flow and has a through-flow aperture directed towards the inner hollow member. The potential vortex draws a flow volume from the second partial flow or from outside through the through-flow aperture, with the turbine being arranged in the potential vortex. Vortex generating elements convert the second partial flow into a plurality of vortices, with the vortices being included in the potential vortex. The potential vortex coil produced in this way generates an intensifying flow field.

Filed: 1985-07-16
Granted: 1988-06-30
Abstract: A surgical staple remover has two pivotally connected arms, each of which is made up of a proximal handle piece and a distal nose piece. All four pieces are held together by a single pivot pin, and the handle and nose pieces of each arm interfit with one another so that both pieces of each arm pivot as a unit about the pivot pin. The nose piece of a first arm includes two, small, laterally spaced members which can be slipped under the backspan of a surgical staple to be removed. The nose piece of the second arm includes a single member which is initially between and above the two laterally spaced members. When the arms are manually squeezed together, the single member bends the center of the staple backspan down between the laterally spaced members and pivots the legs of the staple out of the tissue.

Abstract: A medical lavage apparatus for body cavities comprising a housing having parallel irrigation and aspiration cylinders with captive plungers extending in bores thereof from a first end and pairs of check-valves positioned in parallel, smaller, offset cylinders located at second ends such that reciprocal movement of the each plunger in each cylinder performs the function of a one-way pump. The plungers are held captive and aligned by guide-stops proximally disposed in each cylinder. Each plunger comprises a seal disposed at the distal end thereof which inhibits communication between the pairs of check-valves in each cylinder when the plunger is fully seated in the cylinder. Novel jam-free dome shaped, slit check-valves are disposed to be the pair of check-valves in the aspiration cylinder in one embodiment and in irrigation cylinders as well in other embodiments. The dome shaped valves are described for use in other medical fluid control applications, as well. A septum formed of intersecting semi-circular-in-cross-section baffles joins the adjacent outer ends of the irrigation and aspiration check-valve cylinders so as to allow full fluid streams flowing from these outer ends to flow together at an angle. The septum and associated irrigation and aspiration check-valve cylinders are enclosed in a common exchange tube which leads to a common patient tube connecting nozzle. A special patient tube securing attachment is disposed on the connecting nozzle.

Title: Non-invasive transdermal detection of analytes
Inventor: BROWN LARRY R
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1999-06-24
Granted: 2002-01-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for non-invasive extraction and/or detection of chemicals such as heavy metals, drugs such as cocaine and analytes such as blood glucose has been developed. A patch or hydrogel containing a reagent such as N-methyl pyrrole, or a similar compound, is used to extract the chemical or analyte to be measured through the skin or hair. This method is most useful for detecting analytes which are generally present in relatively constant blood concentrations. The method is particularly useful for the detection of heavy metals such as lead, lithium, copper, iron, and has been demonstrated to be useful with drugs such as cocaine and acetominaphen, and metabolic analytes like blood glucose. In the preferred embodiment, the method involves the use of the water miscible solvent N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) in an aqueous solution which is incorporated into an adsorbent pad or hydrogel. This adsorbent pad is placed on the skin for a defined time period, removed and then analyzed for the substance of interest. An analytical method can also be incorporated as part of the adsorbent pad in order to conduct both the extraction of the chemical of interest and the assay in situ. Examples demonstrating the very broad range of materials which can be extracted. Comparative examples demonstrate that the same results cannot be obtained using other reagents such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).
