A method of treating tumors by the delivery of tumor treating electric fields to a patient. The method including the steps of placing an electrode array on the patient; running a temperature analysis mode of the electrode array to provide a temperature analysis; determining which subarrays of the electrode array have neutral non tumor treating field firings inserted into a firing configuration based on the temperature analysis; and treating the patient using the firing configuration to deliver tumor treating fields to the patient.

Systems and methods for wireless stimulation of biological tissue (e.g. nerves, muscle tissue, etc.) and, in one exemplary implementation, to therapy for glaucoma based on the wireless administration of energy to the eye of a mammalian subject (e.g. human, rodent, etc.) to reduce an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) involving the use of a multi-coil wireless power transfer assembly. The multi-coil wireless power transfer assembly may be used alone or in combination with a stimulation coil that can be implanted in the eye of a mammalian subject or within a contact lens worn by a mammalian subject.

Provided herein is a method of blocking a nerve or neuron including applying an electrical stimulation to the nerve or neuron, wherein the electrical stimulation is of an intensity that is greater than an excitation threshold of the nerve or neuron for a length of time sufficient to produce a block of nerve conduction or neuron excitation.

Methods of treating and preventing cancer are provided. In some instances, the method comprises delivering radioactive particles to an organ of the subject, wherein the organ contains a tumor, applying alternating electric fields to the organ at a frequency of 50 kHz to 10 MHz (e.g., 50 kHz to 1 MHz or 80 to 500 kHz), and administering systemic cancer therapy to the subject.

A biocompatible seed for implantation in tissue of a patient includes an elongated body sized and shaped to be at least partially inserted into the tissue of the patient, in which the body includes a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) material having a Poisson's ratio of between 0 and −1. The seed can be a thermal seed configured to generate heat responsive to exposure to a magnetic field. The seed can be a seed for brachytherapy that includes an inner layer including a radioactive material and an outer layer including the NPR material.
