BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an apparatus for heating limited parts of a human body and more particularly to an ultrasound hyperthermia applicator capable of uniformly heating relatively large volumes locally without scanning. Hyperthermia is a name which has come to mean

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to intentionally induced hypo- or hyperthermia medical treatments. Specifically, the present invention is a method and device for inducing whole-body hypo- or hyperthermia while protecting the central nervous system to prevent neurological damage

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an apparatus and method for the treatment of conditions in which it is desired to simultaneously hyperthermally treat diseased target tissue in a patient and dilate a lumen of a patient which is being compressed and obstructed by diseased tissue

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention is directed to magnetic particles prepared for medical applications including hyperthermia techniques, localized heating and tissue-specific release of therapeutic agents, and magnetic resonance imaging contrast enhancement. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It has

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention generally relates to inducing hyperthermia or other heating in a desired target in a living body, such as in cancerous tumor tissue or other diseased tissue in the living body. BACKGROUND Certain types of cancerous tumors, such as breast cancer tumors,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the use of ultrasonic energy to heat biological tissues and fluids, and more specifically, to the use of hyperthermia potentiators, such as gases, gaseous precursors and perfluorocarbons, in combination with

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is directed to a process of necrosing neoplasms as a result of hyperthermia of the neoplasm induced by hysteresis heating at selected frequencies of particles associated with the neoplasm. It is a recognized medical fact that certain surgical invasions of

FIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to obtaining a biochemical vaccine against Salmonella fevers, typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. BACKGROUND The threat of an epidemic of Salmonella fevers is constant in the world as shown by epidemiological reports and the seriousness of the spread of

RELATED APPLICATION INFORMATION This invention relates generally to devices for applying localized liquid therapy and/or thermotherapy to an afflicted area of an afflicted patient. More particularly, this invention relates to a device, and method of use therefor, which directly applies a liquid,

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to devices for applying localized liquid therapy and/or thermotherapy to an afflicted area of a patient. More particularly, this invention relates to a device, and method of use thereof, which directly applies a liquid, most usually a water

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention generally relates to inducing hyperthermia in a desired target such as cancerous tumor tissue. More particularly, the present invention relates to non-invasively causing localized hyperthermia in a tumor-containing tissue using an array of antenna structures

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is well-known that man is gifted with a system to prevent or overcome diseases. It is the human immune system which reacts against almost ever outside influence. If the diseases are caused by weaker bacteria and viruses, the body defends itself using its immune system.
