Abstract: In the treatment of morbid obesity or heartburn and reflux disease an elongated restriction member (12) is formed in a substantially closed loop around a human's stomach or esophagus to form a stoma opening in the stomach or esophagus. The size of the stoma opening is adjustable by an implanted adjustment device. A control device (22) is utilized to control the adjustment device, in order to either reduce or enlarge the size of the stoma opening, for example in response to the time of the day. Nausea in a treated obese human can be minimized or substantially eliminated as a result of the control device controlling the adjustment device to keep the stoma opening substantially fully open between meals (such as at night when the human is sleeping). A sensor (23), such as a pressure or position sensor, is surgically implanted in the human's body so that the sensor may either directly or indirectly sense a physical parameter of the human, such as the pressure in the stomach or the human's orientation with respect to the horizontal. If in response to sensing by the sensor it is determined by the control device that a significant change in the physical parameter has occurred, then the control device controls the adjustment device to either reduce or enlarge the size of the stoma opening.

Abstract: The quantity of oil used as a heat transfer medium, is controlled continuously. It can be varied between minimum and maximum flowrates An Independent claim is included for corresponding equipment with a conventional cooling spiral (1) and pump (2) for the oil, and an electrical heating element. In the new design, a variable-speed motor (3) drives the pump and/or a proportional valve alters the quantity of oil through a cooling zone. Preferred features: A similar variant based on the foregoing method is claimed. Temperature of the circulating oil is held approximately constant by regulation of coolant quantity. The quantity of coolant for the oil used for heat transfer, is controlled as a function of oil temperature. The oil temperature is raised above the coolant temperature for the minimal flowrate during heating phases. The quantity of oil is varied by changing the speed of the pump drive, and/or by using a proportional valve. The cross section of the extruder cylinder in at least one of the heating zones, is approximately elliptical or oval.

Abstract: The invention here described relates to monitoring the effect of angiogenesis inhibiting drugs used to treat cancer in breast and testicular tissues. A probe combining electromagnetic radiation in the red and infra-red part of the spectrum is physically combined with a series of Ultrasound Doppler transducers arranged to monitor blood flow over one hemisphere of the tumour. This arrangement overcomes the major difficulty with conventional Doppler blood flow probes that the signals vary more from area to area of the cancer than the changes induced by the drugs acting on the neovascularisation over short time intervals. The invention envisages using probes with transducers of different frequencies and where the piezoelements are angled to cover such an area of angiogenesis that inhomogeneities become insignificant, by virtue of the fact that signals from all the vessels in a hemispherical volume of the tumour's advancing front are collected and processed electronically to produce the observed spectra.
