An elbow configured to connect to a positive pressure ventilation mask and to a ventilator circuit that provides a source of pressurized air. The elbow includes an access valve that opens to provide access to the mouth of the patient without removing the mask and seals from ventilator pressure pushing the valve to the closed position.

Disclosed is an endoscope for measuring intra-organ pressure (e.g., intragastric pressure), and more particularly an endoscope for measuring intra-organ pressure (e.g., intragastric pressure) and visualizing the response of an adjacent sphincter (e.g., lower esophageal sphincter) to changes in the intra-organ pressure.

Provided are an information processing method, an electronic device, and a computer storage medium. The method comprises: receiving first information which is associated with an operation behavior of a medical testing device, wherein the first information is associated with data collection performed by the medical testing device during operation; and outputting at least part of the first information. By using the method, quality control can be performed on operation behaviors associated with examination, and the quality of a result obtained by an operation behavior, deviation from a recommended operation, a suggested modification direction and any possible statistical information can be presented, thereby a doctor can be helped in improving operations performed on a medical testing device.

A method is disclosed comprising providing a biological sample on a swab, directing a spray of charged droplets onto a surface of the swab in order to generate a plurality of analyte ions, and analysing the analyte ions.

A duodenoscope protected with disposable consumables is provided. An insertion portion of a duodenoscope body (1) is covered with a cuff (3). A disposable forceps passage tube (4) is inserted into a tube of the duodenoscope body (1). A distal end of the duodenoscope body (1) is covered with an end cap (2) which is integrally connected to the cuff (3) and the disposable forceps passage tube (4). An elongated opening (2.1), which is of the same shape as the opening of a head end (1.1) of the duodenoscope body (1), is formed in a side face of the end cap (2). A forceps-lifting unit (1.2) is disposed in the head end (1.1) of the duodenoscope body (1). The end cap (2) is made of a transparent elastic material. A soft connection port (5) is disposed in the elongated opening (2.1) of the end cap (2). The soft connection port (5) is shaped like a smoking pipe and made of an elastic film. A large-orifice end of the soft connection port (5) is glued to the elongated opening (2.1) of the end cap (2), while a small-orifice end (5.2) thereof sleeves and is glued to a distal end of the disposable forceps passage tube (4). A pulley (1.4) is disposed on the head of the forceps-lifting unit (1.2), and a groove (1.5) is formed in the periphery of the pulley (1.4). The duodenoscope protected with disposable consumables can protect both the external surface of the duodenoscope and the internal surface of the tube.
