	Surgical device for creating an anastomosis between first and second hollow organs - Patent 6605098
		The coupler preferably has pins for securing the second hollow organ to the hole of the first hollow organ, the pins being biased in a bent position, where the cartridge further comprises retaining means for retaining the pins in a substantially straight position prior to deployment of the second hollow organ and coupler.
		The second hollow organ 300 is passed through a lumen in the cartridge 100 with its proximal end 302 exiting through the second portion 232 of the slot 228 and its distal end 304 being everted over the nose section 203 of the cartridge body 202.
		Typically, the second hollow organ 300 such as a harvested vein to be used in a CABG procedure is approximately 10 inches long, in which case the proximal end 302 hangs free from the cartridge 200.

	THE GEOLOGY OF ORGAN CAVE
		Resembling a huge Church Organ, the Rock Organ is the largest and most pronounced of the calcite formations in the cave.
		Organ Cave is also the home of three endangered species of bats, the Indiana Bat, the Gray Bat, and the Virginia Big Eared.
		Organ Cave's role in the American Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and the Civil War as a saltpetre mining facility was significant.

		The digestive system is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.
		The large, hollow organs of the digestive system contain muscle that enables their walls to move.
		These small molecules can be absorbed from the hollow of the small intestine into the blood and then be carried to all parts of the body to build the walls and other parts of the cells.

		In pregnancy the fertilized egg implants itself in the lining of the uterus, where it grows to maturity; the walls of the uterus are elastic and stretch during pregnancy to hold the developing child.
		Although the uterus is a muscular organ, it has a lining of soft glandular material, which thickens with blood during ovulation, preparatory to receiving a fertilized ovum.

	Stent with mutually interlocking filaments - Patent 5476508
		A self-expanding stent is proposed for hollow organs for the bracing and/or for the holding open of a hollow organ.
		The invention concerns a stent for the bracing and/or for the holding open of a hollow organ with a tubular self-expanding network comprising filaments that, in a collapsed state of the lumen is axially stretched and, in a expanded state of the lumen is axially foreshortened and which is constructed from at least two bands.
		By means of an areal seating on the inner surface of the hollow organ which is to be expanded, pressure loading and possible severe intimal hyperplasia or granulations can be reduced in the vicinity of the ends of the stent.

		CT and MRI provide cross-sectional images in which the inner surfaces of hollow organs are displayed at a much lower resolution than by endoscopy, but the techniques are noninvasive.
		Once the voxels in the image data are labeled with tissue / organ identifiers, we extracted surfaces consisting of triangles using the marching cube algorithm [15].

		Organ systems of the human body are equipped with several mechanisms to prevent organ failure—organs have both a vast reserve of tissue plus a way to regenerate any lost tissue.
		Therefore, indications of organ failure due to the development of a tumor do not show up until the tumor has extensively progressed—usually beyond the point of metastasis.
		Some cancers that occur in the walls of hollow organs eventually grow into the lumen creating an obstacle for anything passing through that lumen.

	What Is Bladder Cancer?
		Rhabdomyosarcoma is a very rare cancer that affects other tissues and organs more often than the bladder.
		The cancer may only be in the layers of urothelial cells closest to the inside of the bladder, or it may have also spread to the thin layer of connective tissue (called the lamina propria) just beneath the urothelial cells.
		Some of these only involve the layer of cells closest to the inside or the hollow part of the bladder.

		The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine.
		Cancer occurs when cells in the bladder begin to grow uncontrollably affecting the normal function of the organ, and, sometimes surrounding organs.
		In this treatment, a surgeon removes the diseased bladder and possibly other surrounding organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in women, and the prostate and seminal vesicles in men.

		Viscus injuries to hollow organs (eg, stomach, intestine, bladder) remain the nemesis of the trauma surgeon and are a risk of the nonoperative management strategies adopted for solid organ injuries.
		Free intraperitoneal fluid on CT scan without evidence of an associated solid organ injury may be the result of a hollow organ injury.
