Intestinal absorption is enhanced in short bowel syndrome patients presenting with colon-in-continuity by treatment with a GLP-2 receptor agonist, such as teduglutide.

A sheathed tubular semi-rigid balloon catheter for performing probing, irrigation, dilation, suction and potential intubation of the nasolacrimal system or paranasal sinus system to treat for stenosis or obstruction. The catheter includes a sheathed tubular probe portion through which a tracer fluid can be injected and through which suctioning of blood or other material can be conducted. The sheath portion of the device can have a distal segment that is inflated in order to dilate parts the nasolacrimal or paranasal sinus system. The high axial load accommodating catheter tool includes a more secure and inexpensively manufactured bond between the metallic semi-rigid tube of the probe portion and the plastic hand-manipulable, multi-connector hub using an enlarged bonding collar.

The present invention discloses a capsule device for pressure measurement. The capsule device comprises a capsule enclosure, a data transmission assembly and a thin film pressure sensor. The capsule enclosure is formed with an accommodating chamber, and the data transmission assembly is arranged in the accommodating chamber. The thin film pressure sensor is attached to the outer surface of the capsule enclosure to measure pressure, and the thin film pressure sensor is connected with the data transmission assembly.

A scalable configurable universal complete spectrum concise datasets platform is provided that utilizes measure points from sensor-observation-derived representations or concise datasets in the making of selected cyber determinations regarding or utilizing sensor observations or sensor observation subjects. The platform utilizes necessary resources and predetermined criteria in the making of selected cyber determinations, the platform utilizes measure points and personalized processes in the accurate or reliable locating of selected analytically rich aspects, characteristics or features from sensor-observation-derived representations, wherein appropriate informational representations are assigned to selected analytically rich aspects, characteristics, features, measure points or the sensor observation and stored in concise datasets where they may be utilized in real-time or thereafter in the making of selected cyber determinations regarding or utilizing sensor observations or sensor observation subjects. The platform is configurable for being utilized as a touchless user interface, a 100% accurate cyberspace identity test or a universal health metrics monitor.

A method and a device for selecting a detection area and an elasticity detection system. The method comprises: dividing organ tissue information to be recognized into a plurality of detection sub-areas, and calculating a feature value of the organ tissue information in the detection sub-area; determining an organ tissue boundary area according to the organ tissue information to be recognized; and determining an organ tissue boundary area according to the organ tissue boundary area and a preset feature value condition. The method can determine the organ tissue boundary according to the organ tissue information, and automatically adjust the detection area according to the organ tissue boundary.

A medical device position notification system including a medical device and at least one sensor associated with the medical device, a processor, and a display device. The medical device is configured to be inserted into an orifice of the patient. The sensor measures information related to the position of the medical device in the patient's body, and communicates the information with the processor in real-time. The display device is coupled to the processor and is configured to display a tracing path of the position of the medical device in real-time. The display device is further configured to display a notification of the position of the medical device within the patient's body, such as a notification alert that the medical device has deviated from a predetermined path.
