Title: Galvanostatic method of microbe removal from metal orthopedic devices
Inventor: HOBBLE JACKSON G
IPC: A61L2/03
Filed: 2021-01-13
Granted: 2023-11-16
Abstract: A system and method for eliminating microbes from a metal orthopedic appliance includes a counter electrode and working electrode, an a reference electrode used for monitoring safety parameters. Electrical current is applied between the counter electrode and the working electrode to create electrochemical current through the system and create electrochemical reactions. The chemical species created at the working electrode provide a mechanism to disrupt and kill microbes, including bacterial biofilms commonly found on infected orthopedic implants. Circuitry connected to the electrodes keeps the applied current constant and allows the voltage between the working and counter electrode to vary. The reference electrode monitors the voltage at the working electrode in order to provide feedback to a processor as part of a feedback mechanism. The processor is programmed with software logic, preventing the voltage from drifting to ranges that correlate with metal immunity or corrosion regions by limiting or altering the applied current.

Abstract: Symptoms of stress such as elevated blood pressure in mammals are treated, and mammalian bodies are preconditioned to manifest reduced adverse reactions to subsequently encountered stresses, by injecting into the mammalian patient a small quantity of the patient's own blood which has been previously extracted and subjected extracorporeally to at least one stressor, such as ultraviolet radiation, an oxidative environment, ozone-oxygen and mild heating, especially infra-red radiation causing mild heating. Particularly beneficial combinations of stressors are simultaneous applications of UV radiation and an ozone-oxygen gas mixture bubbled through the blood sample to provide the oxidative environment, or simultaneous application of UV radiation, ozone-oxygen gas mixtures and mild heating. One specific use of the invention is in preconditioning against ischemic-reperfusion injury, e.g. prior to surgery.

Abstract: General purpose flags (ACFs) are defined and encoded utilizing a hierarchical one-, two- or three-bit encoding. Each added bit provides a superset of the previous functionality. With condition combination, a sequential series of conditional branches based on complex conditions may be avoided and complex conditions can then be used for conditional execution. ACF generation and use can be specified by the programmer. By varying the number of flags affected, conditional operation parallelism can be widely varied, for example, from mono-processing to octal-processing in VLIW execution, and across an array of processing elements (PE)s. Multiple PEs can generate condition information at the same time with the programmer being able to specify a conditional execution in one processor based upon a condition generated in a different processor using the communications interface between the processing elements to transfer the conditions. Each processor in a multiple processor array may independently have different units conditionally operate based upon their ACFs.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate processing apparatus by which reaction products are prevented from flowing from a processing chamber to another processing chamber, such as a carrying chamber, generation of foreign matter is suppressed and the quality of a process is improved. SOLUTION: For the carrying chamber 2 connected to the processing chambers 13, 15 and 17 and load lock chambers 9 and 11, a gas composition and a gas partial pressure are measured by a mass spectrometer 36. On the basis of the measured results, the evacuation time for the processing chambers 13, 15 and 17 is controlled by a controller 37, so as to turn the partial pressure of a prescribed gas or the like to a prescribed value or lower. Thus, the reaction products are prevented from flowing from the processing chambers 13, 15 and 17 to the other processing chambers 13, 15 and 17 of the load lock chambers 9 and 11 or the like, the foreign matter generation is suppressed, and the quality of the process is improved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of determining a risk of pouchitis development following a surgical procedure where an internal pouch is created in a patient with ulcerative colitis. The method is practiced by determining in the patient the presence or absence of a pouchitis-associated allele linked to an interferon gamma receptor locus, where the presence of the pouchitis-associated allele indicates an increased risk of pouchitis development. The interferon gamma receptor locus to which the pouchitis-associated allele is linked can be, for example, an interferon gamma receptor 1 gene. A pouchitis-associated allele useful in the invention can be, for example, an allele located within the sixth intron of the interferon gamma receptor 1 gene, such as a FA1 microsatellite 171 allele.
