Abstract: A system for reducing toxicity from intravascular triggered drug delivery includes a chamber comprising an inflow port, an outflow port, and a filter positioned upstream of the outflow port. A trigger module is configured to trigger the release of a drug from an intravascular triggered drug delivery system present in blood in the chamber. A method for reducing toxicity from intravascular triggered drug delivery includes the steps of removing blood comprising an intravascular triggered drug delivery system from a patient's vascular system and delivering the blood to a chamber, applying a trigger to the blood to release a drug from the intravascular triggered drug delivery system, filtering the drug from the blood, and returning the filtered blood to the patient.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting metal clips inserted within a portion of a body of a patient are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a clip detector assembly includes a detector having a ferrous member, a transmitting coil around the ferrous member and configured to induce a current in the metal clip, and a receiving coil around the ferrous member and configured to receive a magnetic field generated by the current induced in the metal clip. The assembly can further include a control circuit having a band-pass filter configured to pass electrical signals induced by the magnetic field from the receiving coil that are within at most 35 kHz of a resonance frequency of the metal clip. The assembly still further includes a user notification component configured to alert a user to a location of the metal clip.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and materials for modulating the complement alternative pathway (CAP), the complement classical pathway (CCP), the complement lectin/mannose pathway (CMP), or combinations thereof, as well as methods and materials for targeting diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic agents to localized areas of tissue within the body where they may more directly exert their effects upon the intended target cells or tissue, with reduced, associated systemic effects compared with administration of the same or similar agents in an untargeted, systemic manner. The methods and materials of the present invention may therefore allow for increased efficacy, lower threshold effective dosages and/or lower effective maintenance doses, and/or reduced associated undesired or adverse effects in terms of frequency or severity of occurrence, or both.
