for a duration that leads to reversible nerve blockage as opposed to nerve damage. The method comprises first heating a nerve above physiological temperature (e.g., 37° C. Provided herein are methods of nerve blockage, for example for treatment of obesity, heart failure, cardiovascular disease, muscle spasms, chronic pain, or urinary retention in a patient.

The reflection coefficients can be determined from reflection profiles based upon the reflected backscatter data for that sequence of UWB pulses and the corresponding calibration measurement. In one example, a method for determining a bodily characteristic includes collecting sets of reflected backscatter data for a sequence of ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses transmitted via an UWB sensor, and a corresponding calibration measurement from a calibration channel determining reflection coefficients for each tissue interface based on the sets of reflected backscatter data and determining a fluid level content of the lung tissue based upon the reflection coefficients. Various examples related to mobile bodily monitoring using ultra-wideband radar are provided. Ohio State Innovation Foundation (Columbus, Ohio)Įmre ERTIN (Columbus, Ohio) William T.
