An apparatus incorporating a chemical seal and method for removing fluids from a well is disclosed. The chemical seal is created by a foaming agent which, when in the presence of gas and fluids present in the well, and when agitated by the apparatus, creates foam between the apparatus and the walls of the well in which it operates. The foam improves the seal between the apparatus and the inner wall of the well, improving the efficiency of the apparatus in lifting fluids from the well. Furthermore, the chemical seal improves the distribution of treatment chemicals within the well as it reduces liquid flowback. Automatic recharging or reapplication of the foaming agent and / or treatment chemicals to the apparatus can be accomplished with a chemical application assembly associated with the well.

A method is disclosed for preparing a soft tissue site, and augmenting the soft tissue site, such as the breast(s) of a subject through use of devices that exert a distractive force on the breast(s) and grafting of autologous fat tissue such as domes with sealing rims for surrounding each of the breasts and a regulated pump. The method for preparing the soft tissue site, and enhancing fat graft results, entails application of the distracting force to the targeted soft tissue site for several weeks prior to the graft procedure. A related aspect of the invention includes following the preparation steps by transfer of fat from other areas of the subject to the subject's breast(s), and then reapplication of the distractive force to the breast(s) that received the autologous fat graft. Alternatively, fat from genetically related sources may be used, and the fat may be further processed prior to injection. Substantial breast augmentation, high rates of graft survival and negligible graft necrosis (data demonstrating 80% survival and only 20% necrosis is presented) or calcification result from the practice of these methods.

Root canal abutment devices and methods which facilitate the adjustment or removal of an oral appliance, e.g., a crown or bridge, from a reconfigurable abutment assembly are described.

Dental retention systems which facilitate the adjustment or removal of an oral appliance, e.g., a crown or bridge, from a reconfigurable abutment assembly are described. The adjustable abutment assembly may be secured to an anchoring implant bored into the bones within the mouth. The abutment assembly has a projecting abutment portion with one or more shape memory alloy compression plates or elements extending along the projecting abutment portion. Each of the plates has a length with one or more straightened portions and with at least one curved or arcuate portion. Energy may be applied to the elements such that the arcuate portion self-flattens to allow for the oral appliance to be placed thereupon while removal of the energy allows the elements to reconfigure into its curved configuration thereby locking the oral appliance to the abutment. Removal of the oral appliance may be effected by reapplication of energy to the elements.

The invention relates to the use of atrial pacing therapies to treat atrial tachycardia (AT). When an AT episode is detected, an implantable medical device applies an ATP therapy. If the AT episode persists, the ATP therapy may be automatically reapplied at a later time during the course of the same AT episode. In particular, previously used ATP therapies are reapplied when episodic conditions, such as cycle length or cycle regularity, change. Although a particular ATP therapy initially may be unsuccessful in terminating the AT, it may prove successful when the cycle length or regularity of the atrial rhythm changes. As the rhythm slows down, the AT may be more responsive to ATP therapies that were previously unsuccessful. As a result, potentially efficacious ATP therapies can be reapplied to terminate AT episodes, and reduce the number of episodes that require more aggressive termination by painful, atrial shocks.

Compositions, methods, and kits for cosmetically producing a tanned appearance in desired areas of skin. The composition includes a self-tanning agent together with intimately admixed naturally-occurring fluorescent materials in a cosmetic carrier. Without prolonged exposure to intense solar or artificial radiation, applying the self-tanning agent imparts a tanned appearance which develops several hours to a day after application. The fluorescent materials absorb at one frequency, and emit at another visible frequency. The admixture of self-tanning agent and fluorescent materials allows application of the self-tanning agent selectively to desired areas of the skin. A light source which emits at the absorbing frequency of the fluorescent materials may be provided together with the compositions in kit form. By illuminating the skin after the composition has been applied and before the self-tanning agent develops its color, any coverage of undesired areas may be easily removed, and any desired areas which were unintentionally untreated may be detected and subject to reapplication.

A switching power supply device ensuring no voltage dip is caused by a sink current even if started with output voltage accumulated. When input voltage Vi is reapplied with output voltage Vo accumulated, supplying PWM signals to main switching element 9 and rectifying switching elements is stopped by output detection circuit 21 until a voltage produced by dividing output voltage Vo decreases to a first threshold allowable for energy caused by a sink current. Accordingly, inflow of the sink current immediately after reapplication of input voltage and the subsequent voltage dip are inhibited. Afterward, when the voltage produced by dividing the output voltage Vo decreases to the first threshold and then main switching element starts operating by PWM signal from control circuit 22, drive detection circuit 31 detects this condition to permit supplying PWM signal to rectifying switching elements 10, enabling inhibition of the subsequent inflow of the sink current.

A sample processing system that may be configured to achieve parallel or coincidental sample processing such as histochemical processing may involve a plurality of samples arranged for coincidental movement perhaps by use of angular microscopic slide movements to cause processing activity that may include repeated elimination and reapplication of a fluidic substance perhaps through the action of capillary motion in order to refresh a microenvironment adjacent to a sample such as a biopsy or other such sample. Snap in antibody and other substances may be included to ease operator actions and to permit location specific substance applications perhaps by including single container multiple chamber multiple fluidic substance magazines, linearly disposed multiple substance source, and primary antibody cartridges. Through refreshing of a microenvironment, depletion of the microenvironment is avoided and the time necessary for slide processing may be dramatically shortened from a more common 60 to 120 minutes to perhaps less than 15 minutes so as to permit use of such a system in an intraoperative or surgical environment such as recommended by the College of American Pathologists intraoperative guidelines or the like. Patients may thus avoid a need to be subjected to an additional surgical procedure when lab results become available to see if tumors or the like were fully removed in a prior procedure.
