A non-transitory computer readable medium can be programmed to provide an operational-behavioral business intelligence system that includes an idea manager programmed to manage ideas submitted by a user. Each idea can be stored in a knowledgebase and be capable of validation and conversion into an experiment. An experiment manager can be programmed to manage each experiment, including design, execution and analysis thereof. Each experiment can employ a performance indicator to provide a measure of performance based on behavior probe data captured via a behavior probe, the measure of performance being stored as experiment data for each respective experiment. A continuous positive reinforcement (CPR) engine can generate CPR data to provide substantially continuous reinforcement to users based on the data stored in the knowledgebase to drive business processes innovation.

A method is provided for treating a neuromuscular defect in a subject. One step of the method includes locating a target nerve. After locating the target nerve, a treatment probe is provided. The treatment probe includes an elongated body member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The distal end portion includes an energy delivery mechanism for stimulating or ablating the target nerve, a monitoring mechanism, and a fluid aspiration/delivery mechanism. Next, the target nerve is verified as an appropriate target for ablation by stimulating and then monitoring the target nerve via the energy delivery mechanism and the monitoring mechanism, respectively. After verifying the target nerve, a tumescent fluid is injected into the tissue surrounding the target nerve. An electric current is then delivered to the energy delivery mechanism to substantially ablate the target nerve.

A surgical guide to facilitate delivery of a therapy delivery device into the pterygopalatine fossa of a subject includes a curvilinear body having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and an intermediate portion extending between the distal and proximal end portions. The proximal end portion is defined by oppositely disposed first and second surfaces. The proximal end portion and the intermediate portion define a longitudinal plane that extends between the proximal and distal end portions. The distal end portion has an arcuate configuration relative to the longitudinal plane and is defined by oppositely disposed third and fourth surfaces.

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a treatment probe comprising an elongated body member and a needle portion. The elongated body member can have a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The needle portion can be connected to the distal end portion. The needle portion can include at least one electrode and at least one fluid port. The at least one electrode and the at least one fluid port can be configured to deliver electrical energy and a tumescent fluid, respectively, so that superficial tissue planes overlying a target nerve are protected from inadvertent heat damage as a result of application of electrical energy to a target nerve.

A new bone anchoring system comprises a bone screw and a mechanical insert received in a central bore of the bone screw. The bone screw defines a self-tapping, self-boring tip for easy bone insertion as well as through-holes or other openings for receipt of new bone growth. The insert can be replaceably mounted in the bone screw, and a variety of different attachment structures can be defined in the proximal end of the insert for securing to suture thread, tissue or other prosthetic device.

A cranial remodeling orthosis ( ) for inducing directed growth and remodeling of an irregularly shaped skull ( ). The orthosis ( ) comprises a headpiece ( ) having an outer wall ( ) and an inner wall ( ), the inner wall ( ) being shaped to receive the skull ( ) and having at least one recess ( ) formed therein to provide a volume into which the skull ( ) may be remodeled. The orthosis ( ) further comprises a first expandable bladder ( ) located on the inner wall ( ) of the headpiece ( ) whereby when the orthosis ( ) is placed on the skull ( ) and the bladder ( ) is expanded, the recess ( ) and the expanded bladder ( ) cooperate to cause cranial remodeling.

A method is provided for treating a dermatological wound. A first step of the method includes providing an iontophoretic apparatus. The iontophoretic apparatus includes at least one surface for contacting a surface of the dermatological wound, a current source electrically coupled to the apparatus, a suction mechanism operably coupled to the apparatus, and a source of therapeutic molecules. A second step of the method includes placing the at least one surface of the iontophoretic apparatus into contact with at least a portion of the dermatological wound surface. A third step of the method includes activating the current source so that a plurality of therapeutic molecules is delivered to the dermatological wound. A fourth step of the method includes activating the suction mechanism to remove fluid and/or debris from the dermatological wound. The second, third, and fourth steps of the method are repeated until the dermatological wound is sufficiently healed.
