A method for removing tissues may comprise disposing a tissue resection device at a target tissue site, causing the tissue resection device to resect a core of tissue from the target tissue site, removing the core of tissue from the body, wherein the removing the core of tissue from the body creates a core cavity at the target tissue site.

Tissue resection control systems and methods

An apparatus for determining the capacity of a blood sample to clot, the apparatus having a body with a cavity thereon to receive the blood sample, a displacement member movably received on the body and movable from a first position to a second position, a spring element for imparting a retaining force against movement of the displacement member from the first position, and a discrete indicator for generating a signal when the displacement member is moved to the second position. The coagulation and contraction of the blood sample as it clots adheres to and moves the displacement member from the first position towards the second position against the retaining force of the spring element. The indicator may include a mechanical switch, an exothermic chemical switch, a chemiluminescent chemical switch, a segmented optical pathway, an electrical switch, a field effect transistor switch or a Hall effect magnetic switch.

Devices and methods for extraction and processing of substantia gelatinea funiculi umbilicalis (Wharton's Jelly) from an umbilical cord. Isolated pluripotent cell compositions and methods of using the same are also provided.

A method of fabricating a pressure sensor is disclosed. Initially, a first metal is deposited on top of a substrate, and the first metal is patterned accordingly. A PVDF-TrFE nano fiber is then deposited on top of the first metal layer, and the PVDF-TrFE nano fiber is etched. A second metal layer is subsequently deposited on top of the PVDF-TrFE nano fiber, and the second metal layer is etched to form a pressure sensor.
