Description of Technology The developed technology includes the fabrication of a novel microprobe to be used for medical applications. The idea consists out of combining the hollow regions (capillaries) of a holey structure together with non hollow regions to form cores made of appropriate ...

We have invented a novel framework and methods for the optimal selection and placement of anatomical and fiducial landmarks for image-guided neurosurgery. The method computes the rigid registration transformation that minimizes the Target Registration Error, and provides an accurate estimate of ...

The Invention We propose an alternative to the present drug-coated stents - Peptide(s) coated stents that will coat themselves with human endothelial progenitor cells, will keep arteries open without patients needing the supplement of anti-clotting medications. We have identified novel peptides ...

A variety of lesions may occur related to atherosclerosis, including aorto-ostial lesions. Ostial lesions are defined as those arising within 3mm of the origin of a blood vessel. Aorto-ostial lesions damage the ostium of the main blood vessels branching from the aorta. When dealing with ...

Background: Particle analyzers utilize particle 'focusing' by establishing high particle concentrations within a thin stream of gas. Most sources for analysis, like gunpowder residue in ambient air, do not show these properties. The so-called Aerodynamic Lens arrays are the common solution to this ...

Description: The Invention provides a superior and cost-effective solution for studying in-vivo cardiac electrophysiology in rats and mice, and it is currently the only solution for the study of behaving rodents. Market Overview: Unnumbered millions of animals are used annually for research. The ...

Background Various bio-medical applications require heavy amount of real-time computations in order to extract the on-line medical information regarding the inspected patient. Others applications are currently not used on-line due to the limited computing capabilities. An example for bio medical ...

The Invention The Glaucoma Implant is a new shunt that eliminates the complications created by devices currently in use and it may eliminate the need for repeat surgeries. It is small in size, easy to implant and thus causes less discomfort for the patient and results in faster recovery time. For ...

Coronary blood flow is driven by a pressure gradient across the heart wall and limited by arterial resistance. Atherosclerosis or increased diastolic intra-ventricular pressure may impair coronary blood flow. Consequently, myocardial function and viability may be compromised. The Need for ...

Summary An adjunctive diagnostic tool for prostate cancer accurately maps Zn concentration and distribution in prostate tissue, as lower concentrations may indicate malignancy. This tool increases the specificity and sensitivity of current diagnostic testing, thereby reducing false positive and ...

Summary A new minimally-invasive procedure involves the intra-arterial insertion of an auxiliary valve between the malfunctioning valve and the left ventricle, bypassing the need for the removal of the malfunctioning valve during open-heart surgery, minimizing risks and rehabilitation ...

Automated Detection of Gait and Balance Disturbances in the Home-Setting: A "holter" monitor for Gait and Fall Risk Inventors: Prof. Jeffrey M. Hausdorff, Prof. Nir Giladi Abstract Falls are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among older adults and many patient ...

Visual acuity is by far the most important diagnostic eye test. It determines whether one's vision is normal or reduced, and if so, by how much. In contrast to its importance, visual acuity is currently determined by a manual test which has hardly changed in the past century. Perhaps the only ...

Background: Inflatable-Bellow actuators are somewhat less common compared to conventional electrical actuators. Two major advantages of inflatable actuators are their low weight and their inherent compliant behavior. The first advantage, low weight, is achieved due to the structural materials of ...
