Simple Capsule Pneumograph, Steve S. Kraman

Internal Medicine Faculty Patents

A capsule pneumograph includes an electret microphone connected to a capsule chestpiece attached to a sleeping subject. The output of the microphone is connected to the input of a recorder or monitor in order to provide a system for the detection of respiratory movements in subjects during polysomnographic sleep monitoring. A tube connecting the capsule chestpiece to the microphone functions as a low pass filter to pass only low frequency signals in the range of respiratory movements from the chestpiece to the microphone.

Cavernous Hemangioma (Cavernoma) Of Ileum, J. Mark Cox

Medical Arts and Sciences: A Scientific Journal of the College of Medical Evangelists

Hemangioma of the small intestine is rare. A case of cavernoma of the ileum was discovered at the Riverside Sanitarium and Hospital at Nashville, Tennessee. This tumor was found during a laparotomy on a female patient who had complained of increasing severity of abdominal pain over a period of two years.

The symptom complex of griping lower abdominal pain in the midline and back, nausea, occasional blood in the stools, and midline abdominal tenderness should bring to mind the possibility of intestinal hemangioma.
