The invention relates to medical therapy of detrimental lesions. A system treats with non-invasive arrays of non-ionizing energy-radiation sources. The external sources focus energy dose distribution to a selected volume in a body. Energy output is directed towards a pathologic location and quenched around other sites or healthy tissue. Beam aiming is done without source movement. Targeted, volumetrically discrete energy deposition can beneficially manipulate lesions within the body. The purpose of the focused and enhanced energy deposition is to repair or disable pathologic physiology or structures, nerve pathways, extracellular fluid, and misfolded proteins. Locally augmented energy is used to enhance immunity, release pharmaceutical compounds from energy-sensitive vesicles and reconfigure or eliminate misfolded proteins and their aggregates. Targeted tissue may have enhanced sensitivity to received energy via a non-ionizing-radiation, treatment-localizing agent. This system optimizes delivery of non-ionizing, non-ablating electromagnetic or mechanical energy, degrading or repairing an abnormality upon interaction with it.

A pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes a magnet (9), an isolette (14) including a patient section for accommodating a patient, the isolette positionable relative to the magnet; and a radio frequency (RF) array (10) positionable within the patient section of the isolette (14). The RF array (10) includes a plurality of coils configured for simultaneous imaging of different portions of a patient, the plurality of coils being distinct from one another.

A wireless patient monitoring system includes a host device configured to pair with one or more wireless physiological sensors to receive physiological data therefrom. The host device includes a nearfield communication (NFC) transmitter emitting an electromagnetic field. The system includes at least one wireless physiological sensor having a sensing element that senses physiological parameter information from a patient, a battery, and a field detection circuit configured to detect NFC field and to generate an activation signal thereupon. A sensor controller is configured to operate in a sleep state that maximizes battery power consumption by the wireless physiological sensor and to receive the activation signal from the field detection circuit when the NFC field is detected. After receipt of the activation signal, the sensor controller operates the wireless physiological sensor in an activated mode that enables full power consumption by the wireless physiological sensor.

An apparatus and method of calibrating the apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus may include a scale platform, a warming therapy device comprising a bassinet and at least one electrical device, the warming therapy device being disposed on the scale platform, the scale platform disposed between the warming therapy device and the base; and a conductor assembly adapted to (a) supply electrical power between a power supply and at least some of the at least one electrical device, and (b) enable the transmission of electrical signals from the at least one electrical device to the computer system, the conductor assembly comprising a scale platform cable assembly comprising a plurality of conductors, the scale platform cable assembly having a first connector end and a second connector end, the first connector end being rigidly affixed to the load cell carrier and the second connector end being rigidly affixed to the scale platform cover.

An infant care device that can include a failure indicating feature in one or more of the side panels to discourage improper use of the side panels to move the infant care device. When a side panels is used to move the infant care device and a force greater than a pre-determined maximum is applied to the side panel, the failure indicting feature indicates such improper use. The failure indicating feature is designed to provide an indication at a level of force that is less than the level of force that would damage the hinge and latch assembly holding the side panel. The failure indicating feature can provide a physical indication or a visual indication when a force greater than a predetermined maximum is applied to the side panel.

A neonatal care system includes a platform for supporting an infant, at least one load cell configured to sense a weight of the infant supported on the platform, and an inclinometer configured to measure an angle of the platform. A controller is configured to determine an infant weight based on the sensed weight and the measured angle of the platform.
