There is disclosed a method for the treatment of cerebral ischemic stroke in a subject in need thereof comprising the steps of (a) identifying an ischemic area of the brain of the subject; and (b) applying an effective electromagnetic field to the ischemic area of the brain, wherein the electromagnetic field is effective to reduce local edema, to increase neuronal survival and/or reduce neuronal apoptosis.

Method for the treatment of ischemic stroke by applying an electromagnetic field

A method for controlling an electroporation device configured for supplying an electrical power signal to a plurality of pairs of electrodes coupled to a portion of the human body, wherein the following steps are performed: detecting, in the course of an electroporation treatment, a condition of malfunctioning or fail for the pairs of electrodes for which at least one electrical parameter of the power signal supplied to the electrodes themselves has an anomalous value; storing an indicator of the pairs of electrodes in the fail condition; and selecting the pairs of electrodes in the fail condition and re-computing new parameters in order to implement a subsequent electroporation process.

Method for controlling an electroporation device

Hand held adjustable device comprising: a grip provided with an end portion; a plurality of needles which extend axially from the end portion and are made of electrically conductive material, and a device for adjusting the insertion depth of the needles in a tissue in which a cup-shaped body borne by said end portion of the grip is provided with an end wall having holes for the passage of said needles. A system for adjustment of the relative position between the cup-shaped body and the end portion provides an axial sliding of the cup-shaped body with respect to the end portion adjust the length of the portion of the needles protruding from said end wall and therefore the insertion depth in the tissue.

Hand held adjustable device

Electromagnetic field stimulator device in which a current generator device supplies a solenoid with current the waveform of which includes the repetition of a ramp having a certain slope. This current causes the generation of an electromagnetic field that induces on a control probe irradiated by the electromagnetic field, an induced voltage of markedly constant amplitude during the ramp-like linear growth period of the current. This electromagnetic field is used to preserve the integrity of articular cartilage subject to degeneration.

An electronic system for determining the density and structure of bone tissue and stimulating osteogenesis in dentistry, having a diagnosis system for injecting an ultrasonic signal U(t) into a bone portion and analyzing the ultrasonic signal received after traveling through the bone portion to determine a number of characteristic data items of the signal describing physical and structural characteristics of the bone tissue. The diagnosis system performs a number of measuring steps to determine and memorize a set of characteristic data items describing progress of a bone growth process and/or a bone repair process following extraction of a tooth and/or placement of a dental prosthesis in the bone portion. The system also has an osteogenesis stimulation system for directing an ultrasonic stimulation signal onto the bone portion to promote the bone growth and/or bone repair process.

An ultrasonic measuring device and method for determining bone density and structure includes an electronic control unit, a positioning unit housing at least a transducer pair and carrying a receiving unit, the unit being adapted to be coupled to a bone segment of the human body and carrying a locating device for ascertaining the position of the bone segment with respect to the unit, and an electronic unit for determining a first waveform representing an ultrasonic signal transmitted through the metaphysis portion of the bony segment and a second waveform representing an ultrasonic signal transmitted through the diaphysis portion, and an electronic processor and display for displaying the first and second waveforms as a measured output.

Ultrasonic measuring device for determining bone density and structure

Electronic system for measuring the density and structure of bone, in which an electronic central unit is equipped with ultrasonic calipers designed to be applied to a segment of the human body (for example, a finger) containing bone tissue to be examined. The central unit is designed to display on a screen an image of the ultrasonic signal transmitted through the bone tissue and highlight, on that image, two vertical marker lines correlated with the velocity with which the ultrasound signals are transmitted through the bone tissue and the velocity of transmission of the ultrasound signals through soft tissue. These vertical marker lines mark off the portion of the image that represents the ultrasonic signal received after passing through the bone tissue. The amplitude of this signal depends on the absorption of the ultrasound when passing through the bone tissue.

A portable generator generates a predetermined signal and has an output connected to a first transducer for transmitting the above signal to the body of a first operator (e.g. physician, nurse, etc.); and processing means for analyzing a signal picked up by a second transducer on a second operator (e.g. a patient, etc.) and detecting the significant presence of the above predetermined signal, as a consequence, for example, of direct or indirect contact between the first operator and the second operator.
