Abstract: A heart valve implant has a body sized and configured to rest near or within a heart valve annulus. A plurality of spaced-apart retainers extend outwardly from the body to contact tissue near or within the heart valve annulus. The retainers are sized and configured to secure the body to the heart valve annulus. The implant can be secured, e.g., without the use of sutures.

Abstract: Implants or systems of implants and methods apply a selected force vector or a selected combination of force vectors within or across the left atrium, which allow mitral valve leaflets to better coapt. The implants or systems of implants and methods make possible rapid deployment, facile endovascular delivery, and full intra-atrial adjustability and retrievability years after implant. The implants or systems of implants and methods also make use of strong fluoroscopic landmarks. The implants or systems of implants and methods make use of an adjustable implant and a fixed length implant. The implants or systems of implants and methods may also utilize an adjustable bridge stop to secure the implant, and the methods of implantation employ various tools.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and software for providing remote medical therapy to a subject comprising: an apparatus for dispensing one or more medical items from an inventory of medical items, the inventory of medical items risk profiled to a subject, a population, a venue, or a situation; and a connector device comprising: at least one means for communicating with the apparatus for dispensing one or more medical items from an inventory of medical items; at least one means for communicating with a technology device; and a software module enabling communications between the apparatus for dispensing one or more medical items from an inventory of medical items and the technology device.

Abstract: Provided herein in some embodiments is a formulation comprising (a) one or more nanoscale particle; and (b) a film-forming polymer. In some instances, the formulation is an immediate and sustained released formulation suitable for topical administration or administration to surfaces. Also provided here in certain embodiments is a method of reducing the population of pathogenic microorganisms on skin or surfaces, the method comprising applying to the skin or surface a composition, the composition comprising (a) one or more nanoscale particle; and (b) a film-forming polymer.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods employ an implant that is sized and configured to attach in, on, or near the annulus of a dysfunctional heart valve. In use, the implant extends either across the minor axis of the annulus, or across the major axis of the annulus, or both. The implant restores to the heart valve annulus and leaflets a more functional anatomic shape and tension. The more functional anatomic shape and tension are conducive to coaptation of the leaflets, which, in turn, reduces retrograde flow or regurgitation.

Abstract: Provided herein in some embodiments is a composition that comprises (a) a nanoscale particle(s) or a microscale particle(s); and (b) a film-forming polymer. Also provided herein is a method for an immediate and sustained released formulation suitable for topical administration or administration to surfaces. Further provided herein in certain embodiments is a method of reducing the population of pathogenic microorganisms on skin or surfaces, wherein a method comprises applying to the skin or surface a composition, wherein the composition comprises (a) a nanoscale particle(s) or a microscale particle(s); and (b) a film-forming polymer.

Abstract: Described are systems for providing remote medical therapy to a subject by dispensing one or more medical items from a short-term inventory of medical items. The inventory of medical items is risk profiled based on probability calculation of health or economic risk to a subject, a population, a venue, or a situation in advance of need for the medical items. In some embodiments, the system comprises a digital processing device, an apparatus for dispensing the one or more medical items, and a connector device, with a memory, that facilitates communication between the digital processing device and the dispensing apparatus.
