PLANNING AND NAVIGATION IN SUPERSELECTIVE DRUG DELIVERY VIA THE TRACHEOBRONCHIAL AIRWAY
Devices, systems, and methods for localized delivery of a chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or targeted drug/biologic therapy to a target tissue area of an internal body organ of a patient. Computer systems may be used for planning and navigation in super selective drug delivery via a tracheobronchial airway. A catheter may be used to form a sealed treatment chamber in a natural lumen extending through the target tissue area. Air is purged from the chamber, which is then filled with a liquid drug solution for an adequate treatment session time, solution volume and drug concentration to saturate the target tissue area, thereby providing the treatment. The liquid drug solution may be circulated or recirculated through the chamber or maintained stationary therewithin to saturate the target tissue area. The chamber is evacuated at the end of the treatment session.

Computer System for Setting Adjustable Values of a Blood Treatment Apparatus
The present invention relates to a computer system (1) for setting adjustment values of a blood treatment apparatus (100), comprising a first input interface (I1), a second input interface (I2), as well as an output interface. Furthermore, having a calculation device (5) and a display device (I3), whereby the calculation device (5) is programmed, after reading a target value for the renal dose via a blood treatment apparatus (100), to display to the user in a graphic via the display device (I3), a selection range (A) from a number of combinations (K1, K2, K3), each of exactly one adjustable value, (Q;.sup.⋅.sub.1, Q;⋅.sub.2, Q;⋅.sub.3) for the flow of the blood pump (101), on the one hand, and precisely one adjustable value ({dot over (D)}1, {dot over (D)}2, {dot over (D)}3) for the flow of the dialysis liquid pump (121), on the other. Based on the displayed selection range A, the user can select one of the displayed combinations via a second input interface (I2). The calculation device (5) is further programmed so that the adjustable value (Q;.sup.⋅.sub.B) for the blood pump (101) and the adjustable value ({dot over (D)}.sub.B) for the dialysis liquid pump (121) of the selected combination (K.sub.B) can be given via the output interface.

DEVICES AND METHODS FOR AUDITORY REHABILITATION FOR INTERAURAL ASYMMETRY
A device, system and related methods to provide assessment and treatment of amblyaudia through standardized methods that do not require advanced training or a booth with loudspeakers for the operator to administer. The ARIA stimuli protocols for both assessment and treatment, encoded in or to be used by a software program or application, are transferred to a stand-alone set of specialized noise-cancelling headphones attached or connected to, wired or wirelessly, a software platform on an electronic computing device. or integrated with the headphones. The program administers assessment tests to individuals through the noise-cancelling earphones. The device enables someone with minimal instructions to administer automatically or semi-automatically both assessment and treatment protocols, generate results, make interpretations, store data, and produce reports. The device or system may be loaded with standard protocols for English-speaking individuals, as well as dichotic speech material in any language.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING OPERATIONAL LIFETIME OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND TREATMENT APPARATUSES
A negative pressure wound therapy system can include a wound dressing configured to be placed over a wound and configured to absorb fluid. The system can include a source of negative pressure configured to generate negative pressure to aspirate fluid from the wound. The system can include a memory. The system can include a controller configured to periodically store a plurality of data sets in the memory, in response to storing a data set of the plurality of data sets at a memory address in the memory, update the memory address for storing a subsequent data set, and in response to determining that the memory address corresponds to a memory address indicative of a duration of time following an initial activation of the system reaching a total permitted operational time of the system, provide an indication that the total permitted operational time of the system has been reached.
