摘要： Devices are described which can be used to study the physiological function of the intestinal wall. These devices include an ultrasonic transducer that can be attached to a region of the intestinal wall. The transducer interrogates the wall and echoes are obtained from the different wall layers. The echoes are processed to produce an M-mode display of the wall. This allows monitoring how the wall changes with time. For example, as the wall contracts the muscle layer thickens and this action may be observed with the device. Other sensors and electrodes can be combined with this probe to correlate various physiological action. Finally, several such probes can be combined into a common introducible probe but which will monitor several regions along the intestinal wall. The major advantage of the disclosed device is that it provides a measurement of intestinal motility previously unattainable and it is introducible by endoscopy. This makes it a suitable tool for studying patient disease.

摘要： A collapsible slide carousel which allows for more efficient storage and transport thereof. The collapsible slide carousel includes an upper portion, a lower portion and a plurality of slide dividers pivotally secured to the upper and lower portions such that the slides can be positioned in an erect position or a collapsed position. In the erect position the slides are disposed substantially vertically as in a conventional carousel such that the slides can be viewed utilizing a conventional carousel projector. Alternatively, in the collapsed position the slides are disposed in an angular position overlapping one another in a domino-like manner allowing for more efficient storage and transportation of the carousel. The upper portion of the carousel is rotatably disposed with respect to the lower portion such that the carousel can be adjusted from the erect position to the collapsed position, and vice versa, by rotating the upper portion with respect to the lower portion. In the erect position the upper portion is displaced from the lower portion and in the collapsed position the upper portion is disposed adjacent the lower portion. The carousel further include a spring for urging the upper portion away from the lower portion such that the slides are urged toward the erect position.

摘要： A miniature ultrasound imaging probe that may be delivered through the biopsy channel of an endoscope. The probe includes a probe tip mounted at the distal end of a flexible catheter. The probe tip includes a transducer body mounted on the distal end of a distal actuating rod with the transducer body carrying an ultrasound transducer. The distal actuating rod is mounted on the distal end of a plurality of concentric, springs wound in opposite directions extending concentrically through the catheter and terminating in a proximal actuating rod. A flexible bag filled with an acoustic coupling fluid is mounted at the distal end of the catheter. The bag surrounds the transducer body to isolate it from the external environment and retain the acoustic coupling fluid. When the probe is to be inserted through a narrow passage, the proximal actuating rod is advanced into the catheter to extend the transducer body against the flexible bag. As a result, the bag elongates and its width is reduced. When the probe is to be used for imaging, the proximal actuating rod is retracted to withdraw the transducer body away from the bag and allow the bag to expand radially so that it can conform to a surface through which an image is to be obtained.

摘要： An endoscopically deliverable ultrasound imaging system having an ultrasound probe mounted at the end of an endoscopically deliverable catheter. The catheter connects the probe to an ultrasound imaging system. The axial or radial position of the ultrasound probe is measured by a position transducer mounted on the endocscope adjacent the biopsy port from which the catheter extends. The output of the position measuring transducer is applied to the ultrasound imaging system so that the imaging system provides an image of the tissue depth as a function of the position of the ultrasound probe.

摘要： A system for endoscopic detection of blood flow is disclosed. A catheter is sized to pass through the biopsy channel of an endoscope and includes an elongated catheter tube of flexible material and an ultrasonic probe carried by the catheter tube adjacent its tip. Depending on the application, the ultrasonic field provided by the ultrasonic probe may be either transverse or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the catheter tube and may be either highly directional, omnidirectional, or sectorial. The ultrasonic probe is coupled to a pulsed Doppler circuit (FIG. 16) by an isolation circuit (FIG. 20) that provides electrical isolation and RFI suppression. The Doppler circuit is designed to enhance close proximity detection of blood flow, to limit the range of the probe's ultrasonic field, and to distinguish between arterial blood flow, venous blood flow, and vessel wall motion.

摘要： A system for detecting Barrett's metaplasia utilizes an illumination and imaging probe at the end of a catheter. The probe illuminates the wall of the esophagus and returns reflected light to be processed to provide a visual indication of the color of the esophageal wall. The position of the probe along the length of the esophagus is also measured to allow a medical practitioner to determine the location of the transition from the pink stomach lining to the white esophageal lining.

摘要： Various forms of a catheter that is sized to pass through the biopsy channel of an endoscope include an elongated catheter tube of flexible material and an ultrasonic probe carried by the catheter tube adjacent its tip. The forms include: a papillotome catheter (FIGS. 1 and 3); catheters for general endoscopic and nonendoscopic applications (FIGS. 4, 7A through 7C, 8A through 8B, 10A through 10B, and 11); and, a sclerosing catheter (FIGS. 13 through 15). These catheters may be used to determine the location of the retroduodenal artery in endoscopic papillotomy (FIGS. 2, 5, and 6), to evaluate and treat esophageal varices (FIGS. 9 and 12), or generally to detect blood flow in a biological structure within the body. Depending on the application, the ultrasonic field provided by the ultrasonic probe may be either transverse or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the catheter tube and may be either highly directional, omnidirectional, or sectorial. The ultrasonic probe is coupled to a pulsed Doppler circuit (FIG. 16) by an isolation circuit (FIGS. 17 through 20) that provides electrical isolation and RFI suppression. The Doppler circuit is designed to enhance close proximity detection of blood flow, to limit the range of the probe's ultrasonic field, and to distinguish between arterial blood flow, venous blood flow, and vessel wall motion.

摘要： A device for inducing weight loss in a patient includes a tubular prosthesis self-expandable from a collapsed position in which the prosthesis has a first diameter to an expanded position in which the prosthesis has a second, larger, diameter. In a method for inducing weight loss, the prosthesis is placed in the collapsed position and inserted into a stomach of a patient. The prosthesis is allowed to self-expand from the collapsed position to the expanded position and into contact with the walls of the stomach, where it induces feelings of satiety and/or inhibits modulation of satiety-controlling factors such as Ghrelin.

摘要： A prosthetic device is described that is positionable within the gastro-esophageal junction region of a patient. The prosthetic device includes a proximal opening and a distal orifice that is adjustable in size prior to and/or following implantation. During use, the prosthetic device is attached to tissue of the gastro-esophageal junction region of the patient, with the device positioned such that food ingested by the patient passes from the esophagus through the proximal opening into the interior of the prosthetic device, and eventually exits the prosthetic device via the distal opening.
