A system for neuromodulation includes a split-ring resonator (SRR) comprising a resonance circuit, the SRR being implantable in a cranial target site and a source of microwave signals, wherein the microwave signals are deliverable wirelessly to couple with the SRR to produce a localized electrical field, wherein the localized electrical field inhibits one or more neurons at the cranial target site with submillimeter spatial precision.

According to some embodiments, a method of treating a skin surface of a subject comprises heating a skin surface, abrading native skin tissue of a subject using a microdermabrasion device, wherein using the microdermabrasion device comprises moving the microdermabrasion device relative to the skin surface while simultaneously delivering at least one treatment fluid to the skin surface being treated and cooling the abraded skin surface.

Methods, devices and systems are described for decreasing the activity of the sympathetic nervous innervation to and from the lungs and the vessels supplying the lungs to treat pulmonary medical conditions such as asthma. In one embodiment, the method may involve advancing an intravascular instrument to a target location in a blood vessel within the intercostal vasculature to ablate either or both the sympathetic afferent and efferent nerves lying within the paravertebral gutter including the visceral fibers that travel to the cardiothoracic cavity and abdominopelvic viscera and the T1 to T4/5 sympathetic chain. In another embodiment, an intravascular instrument may be advanced to the bronchial vessels to ablate either or both the sympathetic afferent and efferent nerves in and around the posterior pulmonary plexus. In one embodiment the ablative agent is a neurolytic agent delivered in a gel. This approach may be utilized to treat other cardiac and pulmonary diseases.

Methods for effectuating ovarian denervation include advancing a disruptor intravaginally to access an ovarian nerve and applying the disruptor to the ovarian nerve to denervate the ovarian nerve to limit ovarian sympathetic neural activity and control hormonal secretion.

A system for treatment of wounds consists of a treatment housing, a fluid delivery mechanism for supplying debridement fluids to the wound treatment area, an evacuation mechanism for evacuation of debris from the treatment chamber. A handheld device is connected to the treatment housing, wherein its interior accommodates a laser source, a scanning device, an image recording device and at least one sensor/detector, a control unit having a microprocessor for controlling operation of the system. The sensor detects concentration of various substances in the wound, and the microprocessor analyzes data obtained by the sensor and generates signals to adjust parameters of the laser, the liquid dispensing nozzles and the suction outlet to optimize removal of necrotic tissue so as to ultimately to promote wound healing.

A system and method designed to encourage entrainment of brain waves with a therapeutic wave of a predetermined frequency. The system uses antennae to emit a modulated high frequency carrier signal that carries the therapeutic signal. The system can be utilized in modification of brainwave frequencies in a local or global scale and/or in establishing coherence between different cortical regions. The system can be utilized in treatment of individuals suffering from mental disorders and can be utilized to enhance/improve function in otherwise mentally healthy individuals.

The present disclosure provides compositions, medicaments and methods for treating or preventing disorders, conditions and/or diseases affecting keratinised structures or tissues such as, for example, nails.

The electromagnetic device and method for treating cancers or tumors changes the metabolism of cells, helping to stop proliferation of cancers or tumor cells inside or on the body. The device includes an RF frequency generator for generating an RF carrier signal, a low frequency generator for generating a modulating signal, a modulator for frequency modulating the RF carrier signal with the modulating signal to produce a frequency-modulated output signal, and an antenna with a parabolic trough reflector for directing the modulated signal to a patient's body. The method includes applying the signal for predetermined periods of time with a power density of between 1 mW/cm.sup.2 and 15 mW/cm.sup.2 at an RF frequency between 100 MHz and 900 MHz, more specifically between 400 MHz and 500 MHz, the carrier signal being frequency-modulated by a modulating signal between 100 Hz and 10 kHz, more specifically 1-4 kHz.

A microdermabrasion system offers a combination of other skin therapies in conjunction with microdermabrasion. In an implementation, the system applies light therapy, photodynamic therapy, radio frequency and microwave energy therapy, massage therapy, or combinations of these while exfoliating the skin.

Device for the treatment of malaria A method and device for the treatment of malaria which comprises applying microwave energy to a patient under non-thermal conditions. The non-thermal conditions are achieved by applying the microwave energy under conditions that the normal heating effects of microwaves are not significant. For example, microwave energy may be switched on in pulses lasting less than 6 seconds.
