Abstract: A flexible surgical screw retainer (20) and method for holding a surgical screw within a sterilizable package (10) and dispensing the screw (52) in a controlled manner at a selected site. The retainer has an elongated recess (50) into which a surgical screw may be placed in order to be retained by frictional engagement with the side walls of the recess. The recess is sized to any of a variety of screw sizes. When the package is opened, the surgical screw retainer may be removed and grasped by a user and squeezed in order to disengage the screw from the recess and enable it to fall to a selected surface.

Abstract: An effect analogous to a tail-pinch effect is evoked in humans by apparatus for applying variable localized pressure to the spine. Control of the pressure can be accomplished manually, by remote control and/or automatically. By selectively applying pressure a number of changes can be evoked in the human including, for example, causing an increase in appetite, a change in sexual behavior, increased blood flow to brain, and/or an increase of neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. The effect is useful in treating Parkinson's disease, depressive disorders, stroke and other conditions.

Abstract: A method for coating a substrate with a radioisotope comprising is disclosed. The method comprises immersing the substrate within a solution containing a  UPSILON ,  beta <+>,  alpha  or  beta <-> emitting radioisotope, then exposing the immersed substrate to tuned vibrational cavitation (i.e. ultrasonic) to produce a coated substrate, followed by baking the coated substrate at a temperature below the recrystallization temperature of said substrate.
