摘要： A method of treating or preventing ARDS includes advancing a cryogenic treatment element into a target bronchus of a mammal and exchanging cryogenic energy between the target bronchus and the cryogenic treatment element for a predetermined period of time until a target temperature of the target bronchus is reached to cause neuropraxia of nerves within the target bronchus.

摘要： A system includes a sheet flexible material having a contact surface adapted to be placed on an outer surface of a patient's body. A plurality of sensing apparatuses have respective sensing surfaces distributed across the contact surface of the sheet. One or more of the sensing apparatuses include a multimodal sensing apparatus. Each multimodal sensing apparatus includes a monolithic substrate carrying a transducer, circuitry and an electrophysiological sensor. The transducer is coupled to the circuitry and configured to at least sense acoustic energy from a transducer location of the sheet. The electrophysiological sensor is also coupled to the circuitry, and the sensor is configured to at least sense electrophysiological signals from a sensor location of the sheet, in which the sensor location has a known spatial position relative to the transducer location.
