| 20090291086 | Compositions and Methods for Treating Cerebral Thrombosis and Global Cerebral Ischemia - Modified annexin proteins, including heterodimers and homodimer of various human annexins, are provided for treatment of cerebral thrombosis and global cerebral ischemia. Also provided are phosphatidylserine (PS) binding proteins for treatment of cerebral thrombosis and global cerebral ischemia. The modified annexins and/or PS binding proteins bind PS on cell surfaces, thereby preventing the attachment of leukocytes and platelets to endothelial cells during post-ischemic reperfusion. By maintaining endothelial cell and vascular wall integrity PS binding proteins and/or modified annexin proteins decrease cerebral hemorrhage. Modified annexins and other PS binding proteins also suppress the production of mediators of edema, the extension of cerebral damage during reperfusion and the risk of rethrombosis. Thus, modified annexin proteins and/or other PS binding proteins decrease brain damage following cerebral thrombosis and global cerebral ischemia. | 11-26-2009 |

| 20090312754 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING CATHETER CONTACT FORCE DURING A MEDICAL PROCEDURE - A method for measuring the contact force exerted on tissue by a probe for heating the tissue and containing an antenna which is connected to a radiometer whose output reading indicates the temperature at depth of the tissue contacted by the probe comprises displaying the output reading of the radiometer, applying sufficient power to the probe to heat the tissue to a selected first temperature that is not lethal to the tissue, moving the probe into contact with the tissue, observing the increase in the displayed temperature reading that occurs when the probe contacts the tissue, and advancing the probe toward the tissue until the displayed temperature reading reaches a value corresponding to a selected tissue contact force. After the probe position in the tissue has stabilized, the applied power to the probe may be increased to heat the tissue to a selected second temperature that is lethal to tissue for a sufficient time to ablate the tissue followed by lowering the tissue heating to a sub-lethal temperature.
